I am writing so many things right now! But none of them are short, which is one of the reasons I haven't been posting fic constantly. (That, and one of the things I am writing is my NOVEL, which also cuts down on fic production.) One of the not-short things is a Good Omens fic, because I just did my semi-annual Good Omens reread, and instead of doing the reasonable thing and just jotting down some Aziraphale/Crowley to get it out of my system, I ... seem to have developed plot.

Then, as I tend to do these days, I ran to Amelia with it. Which resulted in:

Amelia: okay, anything else to figure out?
Amelia: ...like wtf happens in terms of events
Amelia: I mean, that should not be a chore, since GO is basically a string of ridiculous scenarios that are funny and happen to advance the plot
Aria: heh, yeah. I mean, I think I will just sort of ... write, and see what happens.
Aria: you do realize
Aria: that this is basically a bewildering scenario in which I am Terry Pratchett and you are Neil Gaiman
Amelia: we are writing the sequel to GO. Yeah.
Amelia: and hey, they said it didn't get written this way!
Amelia: like, everyone assumes it did, but it didn't
Amelia: "neil gaiman spouts ideas, brainstorms with Terry, Terry does actual writing in his own style"
Aria: ahaha, true! oh man. WE ARE WHAT FANDOM THINKS THEY ARE.

You're writing a sequel? Maybe I should get on and...finish my prequel :D

[aria]

Oh my goodness, that would be so delightful! What does your prequel entail?

(Meanwhile I was totally just going to write some Aziraphale/Crowley and call it a day, and then I got to this:

"Sorry?" said Aziraphale. "I thought that was the big one."
"I'm not sure," said Crowley. "Think about it. For my money, the really big one will be all of Us against all of Them."
"What? You mean Heaven and Hell against humanity?"
Crowley shrugged.

and got CLOBBERED BY PLOT.)

I just found out that gmail has been sending DW comments to Spam, WHAT THE HELL.

My prequel involves, uh, everything that happens between the creation of the universe and the very first line of Good Omens. Basically it is an excuse for me to fuck around with the angelic mythos and the origins of the Horsemen.

(UM I SUPPORT YOUR ENDEAVOUR.)

GMAIL. :(

cxfdl;kfdjk oh my god I would read the hell out of that. (No pun intended.) It makes me a little fluttery with joy, in fact.

You're making me all nostalgic! GO was one of my first fandoms, back when I was mostly in lurker-mode. I remember reading your older GO fic there. That was yours, right? The one with Aziraphale and Crowley on the roof of the Ark?

[srevans]

Cooooey, what older Aria fic is this? I know not!

[luzula]

Found it, and yes, it was indeed hers. : )

dksdfksd you should probably be warned that my GO fic that is still on the internet is basically touched-up stuff from when I was fifteen. But, um, I am still charmed by it rather than embarrassed? So. XD

[aria]

I see that you did indeed confirm it for yourself, but yep! Luckily, of all the fandoms I engaged in when I was fifteen, that's the one I am least embarrassed in owning up to. :) (Also, your nostalgia is making me nostalgic too! I really want to track down all the GO fic I loved at that time too.)

[alpheratz]

AAAHHHH you're writing Good Omens fic? With plot? *pinches self*

[aria]

Apparently so! I am deeply bewildered by this development, but I really shouldn't be.
