2024 FIC Roundup

In response to those of you who tagged me (@pookasluagh @captainblou and @missunderstoodlyrics) here is my AO3 author interview.

What fandoms do you write in? At the moment, only for Good Omens! But in the past I've written for Friends, The Pretender and Alias.

How many words have you published in 2024? So far, 186,754 words. I'll soon have a new Christmas fic to post that will definitely increase the count to more than 200k.

What is your greatest achievement this year? Starting to write for this fandom. When I started reading canon post S2 fix-it fics at the end of 2023 I didn't know that I would fall in love with AUs. Today I'm sure that this is a fandom that can express the best AU - if only for the fact that canon is 'fantasy' and AU are 'realistic'. I've changed my style from AE to BE and I'm trying to strengthen my writing. It's not always easy, but I've found beta readers who are so helpful in the process. I can't thank them enough.

What are your favorite top three fics you wrote this year? I've only posted two long fics, which are obviously the favorite I wrote: The Tadfield Holiday (A human ‘The Holiday’ AU) Runaway Groom (A human ‘Runaway Bride’ AU)

But as I mentioned, I'll soon post my Xmas fic 🎄🎁

What was your biggest pit of despair moment? I don't think I ever got desperate, but sometimes it's not easy being a non-native speaker. And the thing I've struggled with the most? Smut scenes 😁 What have you learned? Go with the flow. When the flow hits, just go with it. I'm saying this after writing almost 40k words in less than three weeks.

Did you beta any fics? Actually, I am! I'm not a useful beta when it comes to language, but I'm the best cheeleader 😁😁😁

What three fics have you read this year that you love? Only three? Impossible. I've read hundreds of them. I always read fics and most of all I re-read my faves. So here's a few.

and salt the Earth behind you by @sunrisesinthesuburbs The love and respect I have for this author is immeasurable. Just RUN read EVERYTHING she writes. Of course her Borrowed Words is a masterpiece, but I have a special place in my heart for Profiler Aziraphale and CI Crowley.

Overboard by @joanofart5 I write film-inspired AUs, and Joan did the same with this little gem. It's based on the 1980's romcom 'Overboard' and it's funny, and lovely and makes you FEEL all the right feelings.

Find the Light by @klikandtuna Oh, what an extremely talented author 💛 You've got Headmaster!Aziraphale and Rockstar!Crowley all cuddled up in an awesomely fluff story. Wonderful ❤

The New Road (is an old friend) by @missunderstoodlyrics Pastor!Aziraphale meets SingleDad!Crowley and his daughter Mira. Pining ensured and angst that made me die a little (a sweet death, mind you). Still one of my personal faves by this incredibly talented author.

I'll tell you who's in charge by @captainblou is still my fave of them. But even in other fics, Blou has this wonderful way with words and smut scenes and writing badass Crowley who's actually the sweetest creature. And the way they write about trans characters is the best in the fandom.

When Hell Freezes Over by @hermiola She has a WIP (subscribe, it's hilarious) and she's recently finished her Pretty Woman AU "Take a Little Love From Me", but I discovered her with this two-chapters one shot featuring a charming Peter-Vincent-inspired!Crowley and journalist!Aziraphale. I'm so glad we are collaborating, because your writing truly inspires me 💙💙💙

But oh there are so many others fellow authors: @bellisima-writes ("The Last Angel" is one of the more complex well-thought plots I've ever read), @feraltuxedo (If "All lines are open" was a book, I would have consummated its pages by now), @fellshish (My gosh, how many times I've read "Trial & error"?), @lyricalkris ("The Devil Built a Chapel" killed me 💚💛).

What ideas are percolating for next year? One too many. That's why I'll probably stop writing for a bit. I mean, there might be another movie-inspired AU project in the work, but...We'll see 💜

Who do you want to thank? My three besties, @pookasluagh, @somewhere-in-wales and @ineffablerainstorm. You know everything already 💚💛❤💜🧡🤍 And also, all the writers who make this fandom the precious, peaceful place it is. We've been through a lot this year. But we get them back together in less than a month.

And I can't wait.

I was thinking about the episode wear the husbands switched places, and it got me thinking what it looked like from their perspectives. For Aziraphale, it was easy. Dramatically act as his partner and scare a bunch of demons mindless, then they would be safe. Simple and effective.

But from Crowley's perspective...

Within the first few moments of their switch, he turns his back for one second, and holy hands have grabbed hold of him. Regardless of the fact that this entire scheme was agreed upon by pair as an acting scheme, the whole truth is Crowley is still being manhandled by vengeful, merciless angels, trying to drag him up to heaven. The emotional trauma that he sustained from falling is bound to reappear in his mind in a moment like this.

As he's struggling and fighting against heaven, he looks to Aziraphale for comfort, but seconds later, you know what he sees? He sees his partner, the light of his life, his world, get snuffed out as they are ripped from the ground into the firey pits of Crowley's own hell. He must have felt horrible during this plan, because it brought so many of his nightmares to life.

“Crowley…” uttered Aziraphale, his voice a mere whisper, unable to move. Crowley’s heart sank at the softness of his voice, the arm that held the present suddenly heavy with bitterness.

“It– Forget it, will you, just thought I’d bring some life into this shop. Dreadfully dull in here.” Crowley strove to salvage, cursing himself for the life bit while he held onto very objectively dead flowers, fractions of a moment away from tossing the pathetic attempt at courtship into the bin just outside the shop.

Aziraphale’s lips were a fine line, but his eyes seemed to beam, to radiate such glee anyone but a demon would have gathered he was about to jump out of his own skin with giddiness and disbelief, the aquamarine of his irises suddenly sparkling with the slightest hint of tears.

Chapter 5 is finally out! 💐

What I want from this year's BAFTA

David with red Crowley hair, Micheal with blonde Aziraphale hair.

DT in amazing suits like the last BAFTA in the stage MS looking at him like he hung the stars.

Yes, I want to witness that scene from Slow Show coming live on the BAFTA stage without needing any editing 😍

David Tennant is presenting at the BAFTA Film Awards again in 2025!

He's such a nerd and I love that for him 😄 Now imagine him presenting with the Crowley-red hair...

Me: I shouldn't disturb Neil Gaiman. I shouldn't send an ask unless I really have no way of getting the information otherwise. I'll check old interviews and all the articles that vaguely mention the subject. Of course it goes without saying that I'll read though the FAQ in its entirety. Only then, will I send an ask. However, I'd be very polite and praise his work, as anyone would. I'd also keep it short, because I don't want to waste his time. But I'd keep it very very respectful. I'd be sending a message to a very talented, amazing author that deals with god knows how many like me. Or I'd just stay in the dark and not send him an ask. Yeah, I'll do that.
