Crowley & Aziraphale & Why You Should Read Good Omens.

Jan 01, 2009 16:40

This (awesome) Dresden Files/Good Omens fic I recced the other day has renewed my love of Good Omens, specifically Crowley/Aziraphale. Luckily, I just happened to randomly throw my old, battered copy of GO into my bag when packing. I started rereading it and ended up just skimming through all the non Crowley or Aziraphale parts. If you've never ( Read more... )

Heeee, yay Good Omens!

That pic is from the back of the hardcover UK edition I ... think. Pretty sure. We have a hard copy and a paperback version of the book and I'm quietly confident it's not the on the paperback *g*

Also, on the very slim chance you've not found it (because I totally didn't for ages *facepalm*), lower_tadfield :)

I had not found that! YAY! Thanks! *joins*

I'm (happily) surprised at how active the fandom seems to be, considering it's an 18 year old book.

I didn't love the book as much as I'd expected to, but I love Crowley and Aziraphale with a passion(unsurprisingly, I share your fondness for Enemies In Love slash), and I've always intended to go out and find all the good fic where they have hot angel/demon sex. I just never seem to get around to it. Maybe your links will help.

I enjoy the other characters and scenes, but really could take them or leave them. The best bits are definitely the Crowley & Aziraphale ones. Most definitely.

I haven't read much, just dipped my toe in, but so far I am amazed by how much fic there is! It's a pretty active fandom! (For a book.) Besides the comm in my post there's also lower_tadfield.

Oh em gee, that last picture of Neil Gaiman an Terry Pratchett totally made my day XD Seriously, and I saw it first thing, little else will make me as giddy~ *loves on that story so much*

Alright, dream movie, they're casting Crowley and Aziraphale, WHO DO YOU CAST? :D *drum rolls*

That picture is so awesome. It makes me happy. *g*

Cast...hmm. I HAVE NO IDEA! Usually I have some people in mind, but...Huh. No clue who I'd want. You?

Hee, I'll admit it, I saw a who-macro that had David Tennant as Crowley and I haven't been able to shake the image since :D

However, somewhat dowdy but adorable Aziraphale? I think would be harder to cast~ Youngish, glasses, yet holding that secret maturity that's so very, very British~ .... maybe Marc Warren?

Hmm. *squints sideways*

Yeah, I could be down with that. I like the idea of David Tennant as Crowley more than Marc Warren as Aziraphale though.

One of my favourite books ever. And yes, the slash is beautiful and plentiful.
