selenayWhat's been going on with me lately?
Well. I sort of maybe slid into a bit of a Good Omens obsession over the last couple of weeks. Re-read the book just before the series arrived on Prime and suddenly understood why Crowley/Aziraphale was such a Thing in the book fandom (how did I not see it when I was younger, wow). And then there was a binge on the series and...
I now have bookmarks proliferating on AO3. A lot of fic on my Kindle. Loving the fact that this is a fandom where there is so much fic *already* and then there's so much new fic because so many people have done the same as me. I've even got a fic in progress.
Guess I'm falling for a new fandom :D
I'm off to![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
vidukon_cardiff on Friday, where I will spend a weekend with friends doing fanvid stuff and trying not to come home with plans to make vids myself. Sadly, Good Omens hit too late for any of the vids being made to be shown at VidukOn. Boo. However, there's a vid show called "Be Gay Do Crime", so I think this is going to be a good con for me anyway :D
And there are lots of lovely vids already popping up everywhere. I will resist the temptation to take up that terrible hobby. All I'd make is Crowley/Aziraphale vids based on Queen songs, which I sense is the biggest trope in the fandom and I'm so not a trope person.
*quickly hides all the tropetastic fic posted to AO3*
Um. What was I saying?
In non-fandom stuff, I did a 10km walk on Saturday to raise money for Crohn's and Colitis UK. It feels like such a huge achievement, particularly when I've been in a low-grade flare since autumn last year. I'm feeling much better now and it's mostly under control, but given how awful I felt in March, doing this feels like a big deal.
