I suppose this can go here. Not an entry to the challenge, but inspired by it. Author: KarotsaMused Title: Ears Rating: G Warnings: Death Fandom: Good Omens URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/2096490/1/Summary: Aziraphale is the sort of person to take in broken baby birds with no chance of surviving. And cry when they die. |

Karot, this is such a wonderful story. I'm so glad it was inspired by the contest because I love that I had a chance to read it.
I loved your opening description of the effects of Crowley's dark mood as he walked the streets.
I also liked how over time Crowley and Aziraphale have become closer. Your way of describing it is both humorous and touching. A totally uncoperative and unhappy demon being forced to communicate more and more frequntly with the angel and starting to care when he doesn't hear from him.
I got the Hershey part of Ears' name, but not the other two. The description of the tip of the tail as chocolate made it easy to recognize it. I should have connected Edgar, since I love Poe, but it's been too many years since I've read him and the last time I even thought of "The Raven" was on The Simpson's Treehouse of Horror Halloween Special. Not exactly literary art, but definitly creative genius. ;D
I cried when I realized what was causing Crowleys dark mood. That ears had died.
I loved your closing lines. Pity the poor person in his way tomorrow. The havoc and chaos he will inflict to make amends for his kindness and friendship on this day.

*tear* wow. Thank you so much, really, that means a lot.  Hee, I love the Simpsons' Halloween specials too - my CG teacher tapes it each year and shows it during lunch for the first few days of November ;D And yeah, I made Ears' name a little off, just because of all the Bios on entrepeneurs I've been watching in Econ. It would have frightened me if you'd figured out "Winthrop" o.O; |

There is now a new chapter. Optimoose beta'd it, and even though she says it was cursory, her comments helped a ton. It's not really finished, though, I don't think - any comments for improvement would be greatly appreciated. .. .. .. *hopeful look*

I hijacked your story for the test run of the vote system in the extra section. |

;D YES! I'm -very- pleased with how the fic has been recieved, and surprised people think it's in the five-to-seven range! I kind of think of "Ears" as one of the few really...substantial fictions I've done, I suppose, because quite a bit more thought went into it than usual. That people think I did that work well is really gratifying |
