I don't even know how to start

[elisi]

So all I'll say is, if you are a fan of Good Omens, go watch this vid:

Bring it Home (Sugar Daddy)

Promethia made it, but it is based on exquisite meta by Owls and is just... ALL the things. (There are extensive links in the post.) Somehow it's both filthy crack AND deeply layered meta. I love it to distraction.

Just: Go read the notes and watch. (If you're wondering why I've been so silent for the past week+, it's mostly because this thing has eaten my brain since I have been lucky enough to be a beta/collaborator and have the thing consume me.)

Also it's REALLY WEIRD to see it 'set free' in the world so to speak.

Fly you gorgeous, fabulous creature, and soar.

(It is THE reading of the show. Or rather, Good Omens is a fundamentally queer show, so we (as viewers) need to discard the automatic hetero-normative glasses and engage with it on its own terms. ♥)

It's very difficult to write when the default setting is ~flail~

[elisi]

I feel so protective of it. And all I did was wave pom poms from the sidelines.

I'm glad it's on AO3 -- I haven't seen this yet (and may not yet for a while) but I have stuck this in my Mark for Later list :)

[elisi]

When you do get there, just come back to me and I can throw alll the recs at you. Although this one would be top of the list. :) (And I love how AO3 has become THE place. Fandom dreamed a dream - and worked very bloody hard - and now it's real.)

You're doing better than me. Things I have accomplished today:

1) made breakfast

2) took a 2.5 hour nap

3) washed just enough dishes to be able to use my sink

That's it.

[elisi]

Well I have washed two loads of washing and cleared up/hoovered (downstairs only) and been to in-laws for lunch and spent FOREVER talking to Darcy and watched Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Have also done my best to write out notes and hope to get them done before going to bed.

The last item is the only one I *wanted* to do.

Anyway - you deserve a rest, you have been working VERY HARD.

There are some fanworks that just sum things up wonderfully, I agree. I was revisiting Avengers Get Ready by Niyalune while putting together my list today. In the end, I didn't include it because I already had a bunch of Avengers content on it. But in terms of emotional impact I find it pretty much perfect.

Quite true! And now it's reached yet another big milestone.

[elisi]

Sorry about the late reply...

I love Niyalune's work, but know the feeling of being spoiled for choice. :)

I clicked and there was much flailing. EXCELLENT vid and meta recs. *doffs cap*

[elisi]

Yayayayayayay! :D

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

Gahhh...I need to see this so bad!! I want the shiny vids and fanfic! *Whimpers*

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

This is the first fandom in many years I've been a part of that has made me really enjoy meta and vids as well as fics and art. Usually I just hover around Ao3 and pick at the bits I like but for Good Omens I want ALL the fannish content XD

[elisi]

:D

It's the first fandom since Doctor Who where I have needed ALL THE THINGS. I mean, Owls has written the meta, so I am just sort of wallowing, but it's just hitting allll the different spots. <3

[elisi]

Beg, borrow, steal? I don't know whom from though...

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

I will find a way...I just have to be patient. :D

[elisi]

Patience is supposed to be a virtue. <3
