Test that hypothesis if you want to but you aināt gon like the reported data! (x)
Omg I'm screaming!!!!
Many, many years ago (it was Hallowe'en 1989, for the curious, the year before Good Omens was published) Terry Pratchett and I were sharing a room at the World Fantasy Convention in Seattle, to keep the costs down, because we were both young authors, and taking ourselves to America and conventions were expensive. It was a wonderful convention. I remember a huge Seattle second-hand bookstore in which I found a dozen or so green-bound Storisende Edition James Branch Cabell books, each signed so neatly by the author that the bookshop people assured me that the signatures were printed, and really ten dollars a book was the correct price.
I could afford books. Good Omens had just been sold to UK publishers and then to US publishers for more money than Terry or I had ever received for anything. (Terry had been incredibly worried about this, certain that receiving a healthy advance would mean the end of his career. When his career didn't end, Terry suggested to his agent that perhaps he ought to be getting that kind of advance for every book from now on, and his life changed, and he stopped having to share a hotel room to save money. But I digress.) Advance reading copies of Good Omens had not yet gone out, but a few editors had read it (ones who had bid for it but failed to buy it) and they all seemed very excited about it, and thrilled for us.
On the Saturday evening Terry left the bar quite early and headed off to bed. I stayed up talking to people and having a marvelous time, hung in there until the small hours of the morning when they closed the hotel bar and all the people went away, and then headed up to the hotel room room.
I opened the door as quietly as I could and tiptoed in the dark across the room to where my bed was located.
I'd just reached the bed when, from the far side of the room, a voice said, āWhat time of the night do you call this then? Your mother and I have been worried sick about you.ā
Terry was wide awake. Jet lag had taken its toll.
And I was wide awake too. So we lay in our respective beds and having nothing else to do, we plotted the sequel to Good Omens. It was a good one, too. We fully intended to write it, whenever we next had three or four months free. Only I went to live in America and Terry stayed in the UK, and after Good Omens was published Sandman became SANDMAN and Discworld became DISCWORLDā¢Ā and there wasn't ever a good time.
But we never forgot it.
It's been thirty-one years since Good Omens was published, which means it's thirty-two years since Terry Pratchett and I lay in our respective beds in a Seattle hotel room at a World Fantasy Convention, and plotted the sequel. (I got to use bits of the sequel in the TV series version of Good Omens -- that's where our angels came from.)
Terry and I, in Cardiff in 2010, on the night we decided that Good Omens should become a television series.
Terry was clear on what he wanted from Good Omens on the telly. He wanted the story told, and if that worked, he wanted the rest of the story told.
So in September 2017 I sat down in St James' Park, beside the director, Douglas Mackinnon, on a chair with my name on it, as Showrunner of Good Omens. The chair slowly and elegantly lowered itself to the ground underneath me and fell apart, and I thought, that's not really a good omen. Fortunately, under Douglas's leadership, that chair was the only thing that collapsed.
The crumbled chair.
So, once Good Omens the TV series had been released by Amazon and the BBC, to global acclaim, many awards and joy, Rob Wilkins (Terry's representative on Earth) and I had the conversation with the BBC and Amazon about doing some more. And they got very excited. We talked to Michael Sheen and David Tennant about doing some more. They also got very excited. We told them a little about the plot. They got even more excited.

What it was mostly like shooting Good Omens: peering into screens while something happened round the corner.
I'd been a fan of John Finnemore's for years, and had had the joy of working with him on a radio show called With Great Pleasure, where I picked passages I loved, had amazing readers read them aloud and talked about them.
(Here's a clip from that show of me talking about working with Terry Pratchett, and reading a poem by Terry: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p06x3syv. Here's the whole show from YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7OsS_JWbzQ with John Finnemore's bits too.)
L to R: With Great Pleasure. John Finnemore, me all beardy, Nina Sosanya (Sister Mary in Good Omens) Peter Capaldi (he played Islington in the original BBC series of Neverwhere).
I asked John if he'd be willing to work with me on writing the next round of Good Omens, and was overjoyed when he said yes. We have some surprise guest collaborators too. And Douglas Mackinnon is returning to oversee the whole thing with me.
So that's the plan. We've been keeping it secret for a long time (mostly because otherwise my mail and Twitter feeds would have turned into gushing torrents of What Can You Tell Us About It? long ago) but we are now at the point where sets are being built in Scotland (which is where we're shooting, and more about filming things in Scotland soon), and we can't really keep it secret any longer.
There are so many questions people have asked about what happened next (and also, what happened before) to our favourite Angel and Demon. Here are, perhaps, some of the answers you've been hoping for.
As Good Omens continues, we will be back in Soho, and all through time and space, solving a mystery which starts with one of the angels wandering through a Soho street market with no memory of who they might be, on their way to Aziraphale's bookshop.
(Although our story actually begins about five minutes before anyone had got around to saying āLet there be Lightā.)

I already had come out as bissexual, but I had many trouble about my gender. A few months ago I found this identity and it feels very fitting. I'm feeling very happy for comming out for 2 people and they both accepted me.

Funniest shit I've seen in the entire month lol
I've done something.. a little weird
I never thought about it, but... that actually happened to me. Wish I had acknowledged my feelings before.

I watched luca yesterday and it was really flippinā cute.Ā
Omg someone please turn this into a book. And it hit me so hard, because their dinamic is just like me and my best friend a.k.a. the boy I've been in love with for 6 years, except for all the trans part. It gives me hope that we can work out too. We both confessed, but it so damn complicated
I need a fic

Another day at the Agreste's...
now that his identityās been confirmed, i canāt stop thinking about Nathalie overhearing all of Hawkmothās LOUD ASS monologues..
I loved everything in this thread and I think it gives much more depth to the whole "Adrien will be Lila's true nemesis" hipotesys
wait. donāt go. I promise this isnāt salt. I have not been hacked. Itās me.
Hear me out.
Continuar lendo
Yes!!! I never know how to explain this without sounding like Lukanette salt
Apparently some people don't see why Lukanette wouldn't last if we forget about Marinette's superhero duties.
If you all were so smart to notice Chat Noir "flirting" and swooning over Ladybug in your attempt to prove why Adrigami wouldn't work out, why are you being blind about Marinette calling Luka "Adrien" three times in a row?
Why are you ignoring Adrien's pictures on Marinette's wall?
Why are you forgetting about her swooning over Adrien minutes before she was supposed to go on a date with Luka?
Right, the date she also completely forgot about?
And then also forgot what the fuck are they even supposed to do on a said date?
Even though Marinette has a forgetful nature, when she is truly in love she doesn't forget and I don't think even the greatest guardian duties wouldn't prevent her from being excited about a date with her loved one.
And before you say "writers are not allowing her to move on", you just confirmed yourself Adrien is also not allowed to move on.
Compatible or not, Marinette is not in love with Luka.
She likes him, but she is not in love.
That doesn't mean she should go back to her obsession towards Adrien, but it also doesn't mean she should date Luka just because things with Adrien are currently not working out.
Because that was a base of their relationship.
Lukanette was born from Luka willingly offering himself to Marinette as her second choice, saying quote: "If things between you and Adrien don't work out, I'll be here for you".
It wasn't the case of Luka "stealing" Marinette's heart and truly making her forget about Adrien with his charm, music and whatnot.
He didn't make her fall in love with him.
He was just there, waiting and offering himself as someone who Marinette could come to when all her other choices fail.
And she went to him, not because she fell for him, but because he offered himself and because she liked him as a person.
This sounds awful, but it is essentially the base of their romantic relationship.
So there is your answer as to why Lukanette wouldn't work out romantically.
It's because there wasn't any romance to begin with.
There was only a guy willing to accept a girl who's in love with someone else and a girl who took that chance because it was offered to her.
No wonder that kind of relationship failed.
I'm NOT crying. YOU'RE crying!
Hey guys! Did you that Fei is no longer Homeless and lives with Wang Cheng (Marinette's Uncle) now?
Thomas Actruc confirmed it. š§”
