some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

Sometimes I sit there and can't write for weeks, and criticise myself on my own writing and it SUCKS

and other days I read over my works

and I think, maybe, just sometimes I'm an alright writer.

psst

wanna read the fic?

NEW CHAPTER ALERT

The Demonic and Angelic Ways To Raise The AntiChrist

“What in Heaven’s name are you doing here?” Aziraphale had managed to pull Crowley away from prying eyes to discuss their work, not that there was much to discuss.

“I’ve been up in the temple, demonic work. What are you doing here?” Crowley raised an eyebrow, as if they’d not been the one to show up after Aziraphale.

The angel sputtered, “Me? I’ve been doing God’s work here. Trying to protect some humans as best I can.” Aziraphale sighed, “It’s proven difficult with whatever I can only assume you’re doing in response.” “Oi! Not me! Why would I be out and about wanting to murder innocent women? Not my style, you know that.”

The Demonic and Angelic Ways to Raise The Antichrist

Chapter Twelve is out now!

“You like old.” Crowley hummed, finally reaching for the miraculously appearing bottle of whiskey, “So your welcome. By the way, that woman is stubborn. Lucky I’m worse.” She grinned and sipped her glass, then looked back at Aziraphale, who was staring at her with puppy dog eyes. “Don’t- Angel don’t give me those eyes. We’re over that now. C’mon. It’s just- it’s y’know..” She waved a hand in the air, “You wanted the book. I.. I know I’ve been kinda an ass lately, but she needed to go. Was making Warlock upset.”

Aziraphale raised an eyebrow, “He knew Elaine?”

“Well-” She sputtered, “Sorta. Saw him. Maybe. Uhm- was affecting his… doing things. Because it was- yeah. Anyway.” She downed the rest of her drink and cleared her throat, leaving room for more silence.

I'M BACK

WITH FANFICS

I've been so busy with University and life and everything that I had stopped for a long while, but there were so many ideas festering in my mentally unstable little head that I HAD to do something about it

SO

Here's the latest chapter of my fic The Demonic and Angelic Ways to Raise the Antichrist

[comicallybadwriter]

actually @ every fanfiction writer whether you wrote something that got thousands of reblogs and comments and became a staple in your fandom, or you wrote one fic and deleted it, or you write mutilchaptered fics that never get a final update, or write short fics, or long fics, or used to write and now you don’t, or you deleted/orphaned your works, or you only share with friends:

thank you.

sharing your writing is hard. and sometimes it’s thankless. sometimes it’s such a negative experience that I wonder how anyone does it at all. but you are needed; you are wanted. whether or not we properly acknowledge it, you are a vital part of fandom culture. thanks for sharing.

ORRDDDERR UP

Slowly working my way through the prompts I can, and if that means skipping some, then that's okay!

Chapter three of We'll Do it All is up on A03 now!

If you haven't read the first two chapters, YOU DON'T HAVE TO (but I would appreciate it nonetheless)

The start of the fic !!

Thank you to @ineffablyruined for making such amazing prompts 💛

Chapter Three and Week Five 💛 Mistaken Identity

When Aziraphale heard Crowley’s usual shout from downstairs, he beamed and came down from the bedroom, “All packed then?” Crowley asked, leaning against the outside of their bricked fence. Aziraphale smiled and nodded, pulling a suitcase out with him, full of books of course.

“You’ll love Greece Angel, lots of people. Lots of food for that belly of yours.” Crowley pointed out with a wink, and Aziraphale’s smile faltered. Crowley wasn’t usually one to point out Aziraphale’s stomach, not unless they were in bed together, or he was feeling especially self- conscious.

Angel/Human Dialogue

"Is it considered rude to touch an angel's wings?"

"Fear not, little human! I'm just here to get my order. I already paid via the app."

"Aren't you here to make me choose the right option?" "You have free will, there is only so much I can do about that."

"You are... not quite what I thought an angel would be like."

"I don't see any wings. Can you retract them somehow?"

"So, how old do you really are?" "Can't be defined in human years."

"I think they meant the 1990s. Not the 1890s." "Oh well. Time flies by so fast when you're immortal."

"I'm a family friend if you will. I met your great-great-grandma at a market selling beautiful flowers. What a wonderful woman she was. And now I try to visit her offspring every once in a while."

"You still look like as if you were in the 1920s."

"I can't go with the trends. They change so fast, it gives me whiplash."

"I always thought the idea of having a pet was great. A creature full of love for me that I need to care for. Having a human is just like that, I think."

Well behind on @ineffablyruined's prompts of the week but I managed to get the second chapter out for this lovely story that I'm writing from each week!

We'll Do It All now has the second prompt Wanting in it!

I'll catch up eventually, but as said in rules, there's no deadline so I'm not rushing 💛

Angel/Demon Prompts

Angel finding out that demons get homesick, so they try to recreate heaven for them.

Being sworn enemies for millennias doesn't mean they can't help each other out here and there.

They often get assigned the same humans and it became very personal to them who wins this time to influence the human.

It's the demon's favourite hobby: trying to get the angel to change sides.

The angel is known as a bit of a rebel, while the demon is known as a bit of a softie. They work really well together.

Demons still have wings, but they are quite damaged and sensitive. Thank father, they have a way-too-nice angel who is willing to help them with maintenance.

Angels are beings made of love, so how can it be wrong for them to love a demon?

It's their job to interfere with the angel's business. And the most disruptive thing the demon can think of is constantly flirting with that angel.

When they are both assigned long-term jobs on earth, it only makes sense to become roommates, right?

And the first thing Aziraphale thought was

why?

He'd seen the stars fall before, seen them light up the sky and bring joy to humans around them, but it never did that to Crowley. For all the effort to create such things, why couldn't they simply stay there? Where Crowley could see them and marvel at what he'd made? What they'd made together.

Crowley hadn't really wanted to go outside during the latest meteor shower, but he did so reluctantly at Aziraphale's hand. They'd laid a blanket out and poured wine. The angel had even brought biscuits.

"What's so good about tossing things out of the sky anyway?" Crowley had grumbled while sipping his wine, and Aziraphale couldn't answer directly. Couldn't say it was because it made them tougher. Stronger. More resilent.

He often wanted to know the answer as well. As to why the most beautiful things were tossed aside.

"I don't know starlight," he whispered back, their fingers tangled with each other, "But it gives the chance to be something just as beautiful, if not more."

And they both know Aziraphale wasn't talking about the meteors.

Today Aziraphale and Crowley sat in their garden and watched a meteor shower.

Apparently we need one of these around here. So here we go!

If you're excited about a new fanfic you LOVE and can't wait to read more:

DO NOT: send the writer asks about when the next chapter is coming out.

This adds pressure and kills creativity dead, and sometimes even creates issues with disabilities like 'pathological demand avoidance'. DO NOT PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVELY TAG THE FIC AUTHOR IN POSTS ABOUT TIME MANAGEMENT (oh my GOD?!?!). You do not know what is going on in the author's life. They are not required to disclose this to you in order to be RESPECTED.

DO:

Leave comments about the things you liked and how they made you feel (this includes enthusiastic keysmash or emojis!)

Do fanart!

Do fanfic of the fanfic universe (that's a thing!)

Podfics!

Recommend the fic to other people!

Most of all, be patient. Creativity needs space and time, and fanfiction is written FOR FREE by people out of the sheer love of fandom. You are not owed updates. You cannot and MUST NOT rush updates.

Remember: If you convinced yourself to send an ask to an author about when the next chapter will be out, SO DID TWENTY OTHER PEOPLE.

Ineffable PromptAThon

Created by the lovely @ineffablyruined 💛

Week One: Eye Contact

We'll Do It All chapter one is out now!

The warmth that spread through Crowley’s body was nothing new, and yet it felt like the first time all over again.

[comicallybadwriter]

I got a decent level of interest in this, so we're going to do it!! Welcome to week one of the Ineffable Prompt-A-Thon!

Week One:

Eye Contact.

Is it between the Ineffable Duo? Muriel and a duck? Actual eyes touching? If you can think it, you can create it!

The Rules Are Simple:

Every Friday until the Season 3 premiere, I'll post a prompt.

You will have a week to write, draw, paper craft, record, completely scrap and start from the beginning after a crisis of confidence (oh, is that just me?), and post your interpretation of the prompt

Tag your post #IneffablePromptAThon, #IneffablePAT #Ineffable Prompt-A-Thon, and/or #IPAT. Make sure to use them on Tumblr, X, IG, and AO3 so everyone can easily find your works!

Also tag your posts and AO3 with the Week Number and the Prompt, so we can all tell which prompt your creation accompanies.

Tag me @ineffablyruined in all of your posts, too, so I can reblog!

Add your contribution to the Ineffable Prompt-A-Thon collection on AO3 for this week. Link is below!

Look for the next prompt. Rinse. Repeat.

HAVE FUN!

This is meant to be zero stress. If you can't do a week, that's completely fine! Prompt not working for you? Skip it. Going to be late? No worries at all!

It is just meant to be a fun outlet to get your creative juices flowing and keep the fandom well-fed with copious amounts of fic and fun until our Ineffable Duo makes their return to our screens (whenever that may be).

There is no length requirement, no rating requirement, no timeline requirement. It can be canon-compliant, AU, crossover, whatever tickles your fancy, as long as it's Good Omens related and incorporates the prompt. It's all Tickety-Boo!

If you want to be tagged in the posts, let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate.
