Good Omens (Episodes 1-6 complete)

So I've kind of spent a big chunk of the past week watching and rewatching Good Omens.

I can't even remember when I first read the book. I know it was after discovering Discworld but before reading Sandman. My paperback copy is well worn and dearly cherished, and I especially have so much affection for Aziraphale and Crowley. I remember reading fic on LJ back in the days of Daegaer, afrai, and lower_tadfield. It used to be rare enough for Yuletide. It seemed to be one of those low-key, perennial, beloved fandoms.

Nothing low-key about it now.

It's been extraordinary to watch the fandom activity explode - and delightful to roll around in all the new fic, art, meta and memes.

A delightfully British turn of phrase

The February 2006 issue of Locus Magazine features interviews with Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman about the relaunch of Good Omens, and the open question of a sequel. Concerning the latter, Neil Gaiman says:

"We'd probably use Crowley and Aziraphale because they are just such a wonderful device, a lovely authorial creation - they work very well. On the other hand, I have to say, we now live in a universe in which we are competing for ownership of C & A with several hundred thousand young ladies who like to write about their erotic adventures on the Internet."

"An apocalypse? I love apocalypses..."

Neil Gaiman mentions on his blog that before the Good Omens movie project got shelved, Johnny Depp was going to play Crowley.

Waahh.

How cool would that have been?
