Rating: General Audiences
Length: 62,514 words
Warnings/Notes: Spoilers for Good Omens, Spyfall, and Fugitive of the Judoon
Creator’s Summary: What if… the Thirteenth Doctor was the God of Good Omens?
(waits)
I mean. How could I not write it?
Also there are not enough fics that take God’s POV and motivations into account. Especially when God is as daft as a brush.

Reasons for Reccing: The summary pretty much says it all. This was a fun read, and there were many times where I went “wait, that actually makes a lot of sense”. My third entry for the Claim a Character challenge.

(This is a bit of double-dipper; I’m also submitting this for the Worldbuilding & Logistical Fix-Its theme at fancake)

Oh goodness, thank you!! What a wonderful surprise. ♥

Also 'I’m also submitting this for the Worldbuilding & Logistical Fix-Its theme' as made my day (even more). We had a blast stitching it all together.

You’re welcome!!
When I saw what the fancake theme was, your fic was one of (if not the) first ones that popped into my mind :)

[elisi]

Oh that makes me extra pleased! Stitching canons together is a talent that has zero real world applications, but it just makes me happy. :)

Btw, you seem to have your coding borked here somehow. (If you're having problems, paste the coding directly into the html editor (you can always switch back to rtf if you need to, but that should help if things are being weird).

[quailfence]

Exactly how is it borked? I had fixed some problems with the links before I saw your message, so I’m wondering if there’s an issuer that I’m not noticing

[thisbluespirit]

There are missing fields off the header - both author and title have been cropped off, plus the code should be showing the author/title/etc etc as bold.

(If this is deliberate: please c+p the header from the sticky post and paste it in; it just helps to keep things clear and consistent for everyone for both reading and for me when tagging.)

ETA: Actually, all the categories seem to be in a different order, so perhaps you used the code from the other comm for this one!

[quailfence]

Yep, I used the code from the other comm and deleted the fields that weren’t used over here - I’ll add in title and creator to this post. Not holding was a deliberate choice on my part; according to this bold can make it harder for some dyslexic and low vision people to read stuff (though this is not universal):

Your link doesn't seem to work?

ETA: nvm, deleted the extraneous bit of coding at the end and got it to show! And, yes, bolding doesn't seem to be a significant problem, according to that source, anyway, so I think the benefits outweigh the possible issues.

It makes the post easier to parse, especially for people who have concentration issues, among other things. (Journalspace is traditionally very text heavy: headers help mods and readers scan the vital info quickly, including for modly tagging purposes. Post headers can be very unclear sometimes without the formatting, especially summaries.)

But thank you for bringing it to my attention! Please always do, if you have any issues or queries. I'd rather know than not, and I will alter things where I can. <3 I hope this helps.

[promethia_tenk]

Thank you so much for the rec <3 We put a lot of work into that one (more elisi than me, admittedly!)

You’re welcome!!
