I also hope you get cake and nice presents. ♥

Oz bought me a bunch of angel mugs, because i keep breaking the damn things. ;_;

♥ ♥ ♥

Since I've got nothing prepared, I uploaded chapter 2 for you (below chapter 1, rather than creating a new document). To read or ignore. ;)

You truly are Aziraphale.

lovely, i shall read it. <3 still giggling about BOTTOMLEY and TOPGOOD.

I KNOW. i lost it when someone pointed that out because that IS something that i compulsively do. i have five of the same sleepy owl hat, because i lost one once and had a week long identity crisis without it.

Just let me know when you want more. Wasn't going to throw more at you before you asked, but hey, birthday.

still giggling about BOTTOMLEY and TOPGOOD.
I am honestly wracking my brains wondering where to add Topgood. There is a perfect candidate, but I can't change his surname. (You'll see why.)

I 100% understand this. I am paranoid about my angel cup, it lives on my desk in a very safe corner. I don't buy multiples, but I do make sure things are SAFE.

[owlboy]

I. I had to find out

[elisi]

damn.

I mean, there is a character who'd be perfect for this but it'd be too on the nose.

[owlboy]

i am excited to meet that character

[elisi]

Your icon is cracking me up.

You'll have to wait a while, although on the plus side he's the star of book 2.

[owlboy]

Bertie is the ur-twink

[elisi]

OK, so I think I have decided who is going to be 'Topgood'. Because I can't not use it, and I don't think the character in question actually has a surname (at least I can't remember one*, it can't have been important) and it'd work very nicely.

You'll see.

*Bit like how there's a character whose name I kept forgetting - meaning that she ended up as Sharon and Tracy and possibly another name also - and I've now decided to call her Karen, because she basically *is* a Karen, so it's now easy to remember. :)

/very random, feeling chatty

(claps)

now i'm imagining Bottomley & Topgood the mystery crime solving duo, like Rosemary & Thyme, but homosexual

[elisi]

That's inspired. I'm no good at crime mysteries, who can we get to write this for us?

[owlboy]

find me someone who can write a plot and i'll fill in all the innuendos

[elisi]

Unless I (we) have a go once I've finished these novels and do an AU spin-off with the characters in question...

[owlboy]

hell yeah i'm here for it

[elisi]

Now I want you to read it all really quickly so you can meet those characters... Except there are chunks that I am still working on. LE SIGH.

(I had it all worked out, but editing is a bitch and there are whole segments that I need to cull.)

ETA: This is my problem, not yours. plz ignore me.

[owlboy]

you can do it, i believe in you<3

collaborating does wonders for my depression so thank you<3

<3 And I've been stalled for, oh, more than a year (partly due to Good Omens stealing ALL my attention, something I do not regret), but collaborating is honestly a god-send. I work much better when I have someone to bounce ideas off of/to tell me which parts need fixing.
