Please enjoy the Good Omens Script

It's a pretty open secret that I hand out The Good Omens Movie Script (of the never to be made 1990s movie) to anyone who asks nicely or checks my current Dreamwidth. It was published in a small edition, and a pdf of it was very widely circulated in book fandom back in the day.

Someone broke all fan etiquette, and common sense, and the fourth wall and brought it to Neil Gaiman's attention, forcing a situation where people who had already read it would refuse to share it saying it was to respect Neil Gaiman. Me, I never really was very cool with this "I've got mine!" attitude. Incredibly irritatingly, people did circulate out-of-context quotes and used them to portray it as terrible, script!Crowley as abusive, and script!Aziraphale as a doormat. None of these are true: it is an extremely, extremely loose and weirdly Americanised adaptation, but it's fricking adorable, and so are its versions of Crowley and Aziraphale. (The characters who get done badly by are Madam Tracey and Brian, IMO - best to think of them as entirely different characters.) It lacks Terry Pratchett's grace, complex humanity and way with words (see also: GO S2), but it's laugh at loud funny at times and this version of the Ineffable Husbands is a seriously cute grumpy/sunshine couple. Also, it has Business Exec Satan.

All this led to the ridiculous and annoying situation of people who had never read it being derogatory of it, while, despite being published, it was in danger of becoming lost media and a lost opart of GO history. (See also: Revenge of the Old Queen and Rocky Horror.) So I'm sharing the link here. If you want to yell at me, I ask you to first consider why you want to respect Neil Gaiman's wishes on anything and reconsider your priorities. It's a damn pdf of something only eleven people own in hard copy.

Feel free to share, or to archive it yourself. If it gets taken down, let me know and I'll find a new home for it. Just be aware that I'm rarely on Tumblr so it takes me a while.

Ngl idk if you'll enjoy this or if the fandom's wound is still too fresh lol. I got this idea months ago when I decided to turn this into a longer comic and waiting to finally be able to draw it was hard ngl. The idea made me both very happy and very sad Imao. S2 does that to you. Enjoy!!

and apparently Dorian is called Doran and may or may not be a guy. you know what that means

MAKE THEM LESBIANS YOU COWARDS

or better yet leave it how it was and ADAPT THE WELL OF LONELINESS and ANNIE ON MY MIND and BLUEFISH COVE and OTHER DYKE STUFF FFS

I bet that when Crowley saw the news about the new Dorian Gray adaptation, with Basil and Dorian as brothers, he thought "I should tell Aziraphale about this," before he remembered that Aziraphale was in Heaven.
