seen so many posts that are like “I was so confused when I saw all this posting about some non-existent movie “Goncharov” like it was real” I wasn’t. this happens 5 times a week. my dash is routinely filled to the brim with passionate analysis of absurd-sounding movies and tv shows I have never heard of. I never for a second doubted the existence of a russian mafia movie set in italy with massive numbers of bizarrely named characters and no cohesive understanding of the movie’s themes or plot until I saw a post saying to tag it as unreality. this is tumblr. this happens daily. not one thought crossed my mind except “ha, looks like a few of my mutuals have a new hyperfixation.” this is what tumblr has done to me. you could tell me there’s a new tv show about dolphins with french accents living as royalty in victorian england while secretly starting a cult to renew the worship of the greek gods and the shipping discourse is intense and I would simply think “sounds legit” and keep scrolling

I will miss you if they finally realize about you, Tumblr the website and app Twitter account. You shined bright, you magnificent being.

And some of you may not have heard this peak of human culture, but... just after Twitter purchase by Elon Musk got confirmed, a bunch of (serious) journalist put together a Twitter Space (a live audio streaming where any of the attendees can ask to participate) about what was going to happen next, and ... @tumblr joined. And... they invited tumblr to speak. I can't describe how much joy this moment brought me and how fucking proud made me of being part of our little entropy generator here:

i love it when you read multiple works from a writer and you start being able to pick out the things that stick with them. like the themes they keep thinking about, that can’t be satisfied with just one poem or novel or story. or the motifs they like to reuse and recycle throughout their works like an extradiagetic thread. it’s like drawing a map through a writer’s collection of all the things that keep them up at night

#also #to writers: you're ALLOWED TO DO THIS #you're allowed to use motifs and themes as much as you want #you can use them again to say something new #you can twist them from how you've used them before #you can do WHATEVER YOU WANT #I can't tell you how many authors (of fic and not!fic) #that I keep coming back to because I'm like: oh this writer is going to be soft about x #or this writer is going to lean heavy into found family #or this writer is going to gut punch me with the emotional intimacy #love your brand kids #love your motifs #love your themes (via @itwaswhileyouweresleeping)

IN SANGUINE FOEDUS (a Good Omens fanfic)

Rating: E Summary: It's 1899, and Aziraphale Fell is the reluctant priest of a small parish. He's contented enough to be part of the community and help others, but the church was never his calling. He was forced into the position as part of a plea bargain to escape prison after being discovered in the "crime" of loving another man.

When the retiring Dean introduces their replacement - Dean Herald - Aziraphale finds himself both drawn to and intimidated by his fellow clergyman.

Gabriel was brought up in faith and the desire to serve God, but his faith has been wavering since God allowed him to become a vampire. Caught between still wanting to serve God, and wanting nothing more to spit in God's eye for letting him become such a twisted thing, Gabriel moves to Oakridge in one last attempt to reconcile his faith.

He couldn't have expected to find a loving, and stubborn, fellow priest who seems determined to find the man behind the monster.

Can Gabriel regain his faith? And can Aziraphale open up to another man after all these years? Warnings: Mind the tags - blasphemy and smut abound. Notes: A collaboration with @wargoddess9. And thank you to @miraworos for the wonderful beta!

Dear Participant, Thank you for your interest in this survey, which will serve as the basis for an academic undergrad paper in the field of pragmatics at the University of Würzburg. Your assistance is greatly appreciated! The specific purpose of this linguistic study is to investigate usage of certain Ao3 tags, so please only take part if you in some form engage with fanfiction or original works (in English) on Ao3. You can still participate even if you only read fanfic, and do not write/publish on Ao3 yourself. Please answer all questions honestly and to your best ability. The following questionnaire will consist of one section inquiring after demographic data, one asking questions geared towards a reader perspective, and one towards an author perspective, with a final section where you can leave any final thoughts regarding the study. Filling the questionnaire out fully should not take much more than 5-15 minutes. (Note: questionnaire may not display properly on some mobile devices.) It is also fully anonymous - your response cannot be traced back to you, will be kept fully confidential, and any identifying information will be removed from the data. You will be asked to consent to usage of your response data for the above research purposes and under said conditions, please do so in the following. If you are under the age of 18, you MUST obtain the consent of a parent or legal guardian! Should you wish to opt out at any point, simply stop filling out the form and close this tab, your incomplete response will not be recorded.

Ao3 Tag Usage Survey!

Hey everyone, I’m currently working on a linguistic mini-study for university, and have chosen usage of certain tags on Archive Of Our Own as my object of study!

For this purpose, I’ve set up a questionnaire, which only takes about 15 minutes at most to fill out - please do so, if you can, I would be immensely grateful!

(To take part, you only have to spend time on Ao3 in some way, so whether you read, write, or both, doesn’t matter at all.)

Reblogs are also appreciated, so I can get as many responses as possible! Even if you don’t want to take part in the survey, spreading it to more people who might want to take it would already be a great help.

Feel free to contact me over DMs if you have any questions! ^-^

It's been a while since I updated tumblr. Due to having pain sitting too long on my desk chair for drawing (fork you, lipoedema), and having had my first surgery, I didn't draw for about half a year. Well, I AM NOW!

Still, I have finished a lot of the hair on the left, and upgraded his eye and eyebrows.

Thank you for still supporting me - despite this project apparently needs some years to finish! <3

Crowley considered this. “Nah,” he said, at last. “For my money, it was just average incompetence.”

REALLY BLOODY EXCELLENT OMENS...

Many, many years ago (it was Hallowe'en 1989, for the curious, the year before Good Omens was published) Terry Pratchett and I were sharing a room at the World Fantasy Convention in Seattle, to keep the costs down, because we were both young authors, and taking ourselves to America and conventions were expensive. It was a wonderful convention. I remember a huge Seattle second-hand bookstore in which I found a dozen or so green-bound Storisende Edition James Branch Cabell books, each signed so neatly by the author that the bookshop people assured me that the signatures were printed, and really ten dollars a book was the correct price.

I could afford books. Good Omens had just been sold to UK publishers and then to US publishers for more money than Terry or I had ever received for anything. (Terry had been incredibly worried about this, certain that receiving a healthy advance would mean the end of his career. When his career didn't end, Terry suggested to his agent that perhaps he ought to be getting that kind of advance for every book from now on, and his life changed, and he stopped having to share a hotel room to save money. But I digress.) Advance reading copies of Good Omens had not yet gone out, but a few editors had read it (ones who had bid for it but failed to buy it) and they all seemed very excited about it, and thrilled for us.

On the Saturday evening Terry left the bar quite early and headed off to bed. I stayed up talking to people and having a marvelous time, hung in there until the small hours of the morning when they closed the hotel bar and all the people went away, and then headed up to the hotel room room.

I opened the door as quietly as I could and tiptoed in the dark across the room to where my bed was located.

I'd just reached the bed when, from the far side of the room, a voice said, “What time of the night do you call this then? Your mother and I have been worried sick about you.”

Terry was wide awake. Jet lag had taken its toll.

And I was wide awake too. So we lay in our respective beds and having nothing else to do, we plotted the sequel to Good Omens. It was a good one, too. We fully intended to write it, whenever we next had three or four months free. Only I went to live in America and Terry stayed in the UK, and after Good Omens was published Sandman became SANDMAN and Discworld became DISCWORLD™ and there wasn't ever a good time.

But we never forgot it.

It's been thirty-one years since Good Omens was published, which means it's thirty-two years since Terry Pratchett and I lay in our respective beds in a Seattle hotel room at a World Fantasy Convention, and plotted the sequel. (I got to use bits of the sequel in the TV series version of Good Omens -- that's where our angels came from.)

Terry and I, in Cardiff in 2010, on the night we decided that Good Omens should become a television series.

Terry was clear on what he wanted from Good Omens on the telly. He wanted the story told, and if that worked, he wanted the rest of the story told.

So in September 2017 I sat down in St James' Park, beside the director, Douglas Mackinnon, on a chair with my name on it, as Showrunner of Good Omens. The chair slowly and elegantly lowered itself to the ground underneath me and fell apart, and I thought, that's not really a good omen. Fortunately, under Douglas's leadership, that chair was the only thing that collapsed.

The crumbled chair.

So, once Good Omens the TV series had been released by Amazon and the BBC, to global acclaim, many awards and joy, Rob Wilkins (Terry's representative on Earth) and I had the conversation with the BBC and Amazon about doing some more. And they got very excited. We talked to Michael Sheen and David Tennant about doing some more. They also got very excited. We told them a little about the plot. They got even more excited.

Rob Wilkins and David Tennant on the second day of shooting.

Me and Michael and Ash aged nearly 2.

What it was mostly like shooting Good Omens: peering into screens while something happened round the corner.

I'd been a fan of John Finnemore's for years, and had had the joy of working with him on a radio show called With Great Pleasure, where I picked passages I loved, had amazing readers read them aloud and talked about them.

(Here's a clip from that show of me talking about working with Terry Pratchett, and reading a poem by Terry: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p06x3syv. Here's the whole show from YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7OsS_JWbzQ with John Finnemore's bits too.)

L to R: With Great Pleasure. John Finnemore, me all beardy, Nina Sosanya (Sister Mary in Good Omens) Peter Capaldi (he played Islington in the original BBC series of Neverwhere).

I asked John if he'd be willing to work with me on writing the next round of Good Omens, and was overjoyed when he said yes. We have some surprise guest collaborators too. And Douglas Mackinnon is returning to oversee the whole thing with me.

So that's the plan. We've been keeping it secret for a long time (mostly because otherwise my mail and Twitter feeds would have turned into gushing torrents of What Can You Tell Us About It? long ago) but we are now at the point where sets are being built in Scotland (which is where we're shooting, and more about filming things in Scotland soon), and we can't really keep it secret any longer.

There are so many questions people have asked about what happened next (and also, what happened before) to our favourite Angel and Demon. Here are, perhaps, some of the answers you've been hoping for.

As Good Omens continues, we will be back in Soho, and all through time and space, solving a mystery which starts with one of the angels wandering through a Soho street market with no memory of who they might be, on their way to Aziraphale's bookshop.

(Although our story actually begins about five minutes before anyone had got around to saying “Let there be Light”.)
