I Love Fanfiction The Way Aziraphale Loves Books

Hi! I love Good Omens so much, I'd love to talk to you about it. This is a Good Omens blog, but I also would love to have conversations about Star Trek, Sherlock Holmes, and Yugioh.

Things I will do for money because I am in a bind:

Write anything [Style Examples on Ao3]

Draw stuff if I think I’m capable of your request.

Photoshop stuff. Want to get rid of a zit, or some extra weight, or combine two photos cause someone was yawning in one and a child was picking their nose in the other? I’m also alright at restoring old photos, removing damage or fold lines, and I have an entire scrapbook I’ve made for my friends where I just pretend we did things, like climb a mountain or marry Jake from State Farm.

Do voice over work. My microphone isn’t expensive but I feel like I’ve gotten pretty good at cleaning up the audio in post.

I have an Etsy where I do small sewing projects so if there was something you wanted sewn maybe I’m capable of doing it for you?

If there’s any other digital favor you can think of that you need I’m open to considering it. Grunt work, data entry, such like? I knew someone who had a site malfunction where even tho everyone on the site’s email addresses were displayed on their profile and the site was supposed to have them, their… something or other wasn’t aggregating email addresses from before a certain date, so I went through every profile made before that date and manually entered the emails into a spreadsheet. So… I’m capable of things…

Send me a message?

My mom and I are being evicted, so if you maybe wanted something, ask while I can still consistently use a computer/wifi? It would really help me out. Also I sell guinea pig skirts if that's interesting to anyone. I wont be able to sew them anymore after so... https://loremsquarters.etsy.com

Thus Have I Look'd For Thee by emjee - A/C, 2600 words.  Post Armageddidn't, Crowley and Aziraphale have started to understand what they mean to each other, and act on it, when Crowley hears God.  This is short and hot and... ineffable really.

post-professional endeavors by darcylindbergh - A/C, 9k words.  A very fun outsider POV story of Crowley and Aziraphale finding, renovating, and decorating their South Downs cottage, told from the POV of their realtor, their contractor, and their decorator.  It starts out mostly being funny and ends up being soft and very sweet.

The city never looked so bright by nieded - A/C, 3800 words.  In the 1920s, Aziraphale finds Crowley, a flapper, tempting in a local bar, and they drink absinthe together and flirt.  In 1941, after the church, Aziraphale finds a reminder of that 1920s night.  This story is short but the descriptions are so vivid that you can really imagine it well.

And on goes the world by doomed__spectacles - A/C, 1300 words.  A very cute story set during the night at Crowley's flat after Armageddidn't.  There's banter, and some kissing, and a lovely sense of optimism for the future that feels very much like a true missing scene, as they figure out the prophecy.

i keep a window for you (it’s always open) by prettydizzeed - A/C, 2400 words.  A gorgeous piece that weaves together the Night at Crowley's Flat at the end of S1 with Romeo and Juliet -- with the idea that they saw it together, and that they both know how much of their situation could be seen there.  It's really beautiful and poetic.

Even my first spicy drawing ever 😎

Wanted to share the more naked version on Reddit but Reddit won't let me. I'll link it as soon as I can!

Enjoy 😀

My therapist just told me my problem is that I need to write more fanfiction.

[clandestinegardenias]

This sounds fake but the logic behind it is actually really interesting? She said obsession with a new fandom triggers quick dopamine release when we consume all this related content--it's easy and addictive.

What we're NOT getting is that 'slow dopamine' that's more sustainable and engaging. That's the kind we get from DOING things that take effort but are ultimately rewarding.

So like, she suggested that writing fic and making fanart are ways to balance the quick dopamine of watching a show/reading fic with the slow dopamine of working at something that takes effort.

Moral of the story is you should engage in the process of creation around your favorite things. You'll feel better for it.

Oh.

OH.

Let's all go do fandom.

FOR SCIENCE!

Random writing thought: the best stories are often the ones that only you could have written — but also the ones that you could only write at this one moment.

I couldn't write All the Birds in the Sky from scratch now if I tried. But the me of 2013 couldn't have written The Prodigal Mother either.

When people ask if I'd change anything about a book I've already written, I want to explain to them that I'm not the person who wrote that book any longer, and even if I tried right now I'd write a different one. Everything you make as a writer* is a combination of what you want to say and who you are at the time you are telling that story.

*possibly also as an artist or as a human being

I hate how fandom has become "if you haven't created anything in this very specific time frame after the release of the show/movie, everyone will have moved on"

And call me old fashioned, but that's just not me. I sometimes take ages to create and publish. And I will love a show or movie for such a long time (years, babes, years) that I just can't relate to the fast consumerism that's going on.

Because, let's be real, it can get really lonely in a fandom if most have simply moved on to the next shiny thing. Is what's created less worth, just because it was created outside the hype? Why is it such a taboo for this new fandom generation to love an old or "late" fic or art?

It's so tiring and I'm too old for the 30-seconds-hype-tiktok-shit. Just tired. So, so tired.

[captainazfell]

I have been my most prolific and productive lately. I have written 10 stories in the last 3 months which is A TON for me. It’s for a dead fandom though.

Fanfiction is such a thing, cause you can read all the warnings, and go through all the tags, and really think you know what you’re getting, and still nothing will prepare you for someone using guacamole as lube.
