Thanks, ita!
I'm about due for my annual Dark Angel rewatch, I think. And way overdue for my annual Good Omens re-read.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm willing to read fusions where I don't knowKNOW the extra canon, because I'm hoping they'll do enough legwork, but not crossovers, because that's usually entire major characters. There have been a few where they say you don't need to know, but I feel I end up with a poorly-painted OC, and DNW.
I started a Star Wars fusion (author called it a crossover--people, please be accurate) the other day that's cracking my ass up. I haven't watched the original movies in forever, so I can't say if its canon is being done justice, but the character overlay so far is pretty hysterical. I can't wait to find out who's Chewbacca.

I need to check if SiTV still shows it. It might be time to cherrypick the JA episodes again.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I was a Good Omens fan before SPN was a twinkle in Kripke's eye, so reading crossovers with it isn't a problem for me from a canon knowledge standpoint. Well, aside from the SPN S5 eps. I haven't watched yet, coming back the way I did this spring.
There is a difference in tone between the two sources, though. Even though both [spoilers for Good Omens]: deal with angels and demons, apocalypses, witches, the four horsemen, and humans caught up in it all. It's not a huge stretch, plot-wise.
So the tonal issues can be a bit jarring, depending which you're going into the crossover fic expecting.

Oh, god, I laughed out loud at my desk again. The developer totally knows I'm surfing the web.
And Sam is giving such the sex look on that album cover. Naughty boy.

Yeah. I may need to buy it for the titles.

Me too. I pretty much don't care what it sounds like. I just want those to pop up on my iPod.
Yes, fanservice works on me. What of it?

Oh, I'm so buying it. I have no idea if I'll ever listen to it (who am I kidding -- I'll get nostalgic one day and listen and weep, I'm sure), but I am buying it.

I just finished chapter 32.
I think I'm gonna curl up in a fetal position and cry now.
And I signed back up for Netflix and added DA to the top of my queue (James Cameron has powerful friends blocking me from my illicit behaviour.)
