Acknowledgements
First of all, I of course need to thank Messrs. Pratchett and Gaiman, who have unknowingly let me play in their Good Omens sandbox. Thank you both for writing this book 20 years ago, and not being gung-ho anti-fanfiction. And not just because without you I wouldn't have been able to have such fun writing this, but also because the fandom that emerged from this book is basically concentrated awesome.
Continuing in the vein of thanking people who don't care, my apologetic thanks to Lady Gaga (in fact, if you were horribly confused, Jesus and Adam's ending was, in fact, a direct reference to Lady Gaga's "Telephone" video), the Spice Girls, and the rock band Foreigner for unknowingly letting me abuse them.
Thanks go to, of course, Quantum Witch, who volunteered to beta Manchester Lost and then threatened to hurt me if I didn't ask her to beta Paradise Thwarted. The difference between what I started with and what I ended up with is staggering, just because of her insight into situations I already had and reminders of things I'd forgotten. And you should all thank her too, as my writing style is incredibly wordy and she forced me to cut back on useless descriptors, saving you all a headache!
I must also thank the wonderful people on my Livejournal friends list, who didn't complain when all of my posts were ranting about the failings of my creative processes, and in fact usually contributed to them! There's too many to name and they're all wonderful people, so you know who you are, and thank you!
And, of course, I need to thank my lovely reviewers. I would have kept posting even if you all hadn't given me over 200 reviews, but I wouldn't have enjoyed this nearly so much. You've all made this a downright JOY to write and post every week, making me the happiest little fanfiction writer ever! And I say this being a very touchy sensitive person who abhors sharing things with people… and who hates Mondays. You've cured me of both of those problems! I want to say this, as I've been asked before: if your muse wants to build off anything here, either art or fic, feel free to do so, and all I ask is credit for the original idea in your author's note and a link, because I love seeing what other people come up with!
So this little arc has come to a close, but this won't be the last you hear of my take on this little world, and not the last you've heard from four very… loud Archangels. Thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it for you!
Love, me :)
