Small-towny fandom woes.

[vulgarweed]

Those of you who've fandom-known me for a long time might know that mctabby was the one who badgered (and lioned and eagled and snaked) me to get an LJ in the first place, and that I've been an admirer of her Summary Executions for as long as she's been doing them, which is several years now.

So I was feeling a little MEAN GIRLZ this evening and went to see if Good Omens fandom could ever have such a wonderful thing.



Alas, the answer's probably no. For one thing, there are only 28 pages of fics at the Pit, and half of them are by people I know. While there are quite a few summaries that I wouldn't click on a bet, there's just very little that even comes close to the inspired WTFery of "HPLotR Xover. Flames not accepted. COMPLETE! Harry is Gandalf, Hermione is Sauron. Gandalf loves Sauron, but does Sauron love him back? Obviously not slash. Those who have been begging me to finish it, your dreams have come true! RR pwease!" or subtle trainwrecks like "Brianne, Dawn, Lily and the Mauraders have become a tight nit group." or unintentional metacommentary brought on by punctuation accidents like "Hermione and Ginny love almost nothing to do with HBP" or "Harry thinks about Christmas Mpreg." There IS a little bit of tone-deaf wangst poetry, like the sort that is the source of my icon, but...meh. I'd have to lower standards to amass enough for a proper SE: GO Edition post.

I did find this minimalist gem, though:

Crowely/Aziralphe

Yup, that's the whole summary. And it did indeed tell me everything I needed to know about the fic.

Aziralphe! It kind of has a ring to it. I like it a lot better than 'Aziraphael.' I'll keep it in mind for that AU where they're American sitcom characters.



You like me better when I shut up and write porn, don't you?

ETA: isiscolo has a proposal worthy of the Tempter himself!
