this is quite interesting...
23 Dec 2002 04:48 pmI Googled "Good Omens" last night with the intent of eventually making it trough ALL the search results. So far I've run across Lucas' blog twice, Afrai once (something about the orange paperback copy), Jen once, and a couple of my Ficblog ramblings about Good Omens fic. (EDIT: And Sidra! From her blog's sidebar ramblings.) Currently on page 38 of at least 47, though I'm expecting that particular figure to climb. Make that 39 of at least 48.
And most of them are indeed related to the book.
Will have some links later, I think...
If you haven't read the book, you'll probably want to go back now. Semi-major spoilers herein.
Okay, so by the end of the book, we've got the delivery guy back (presumably that's him after the former belongings of the Horsepersons, anyway...), we've got the telemarketers back...
But what about the Other Four Bikers? Nobody ever said what happened to *them.* Well, at least not after the road-block bit.
I'd write it myself if I had any thoughts on it, beyond wanting to know what happened. The world needs more Horsepersons fic (which I'm working on), more Them fic, and... well, Other Four Bikers stuff in the first place.
Anyway. A few ideas for "I Really Admire Your Shoes" surfaced last night, though I didn't implement them. Might do so later.

Googling "Good Omens" or "Good Omens fanfic" ekcetera is not a rewarding task. Have fun with it, anyway.

There ought to be more Good Omens-themed websites.

Working on it. I'd have it up already except I can't seem to get a hosting-thing to work:
*The free one won't hold the lovely template (with some of my Horsepersons fanart!) that I got a friend to make for me;
*Another friend who I emailed about hosting sent me FTP-ing stuff, which would be fine and dandy except I don't have an FTP program;
*And I never heard back from the other people.
::sigh:: I'll figure something out eventually. In the meantime, I guess we just hope FF.Net doesn't break down very often. XD
