What if we do something for May 10? Since that's both what is often cited as the date the book published (in 1990) and it's the day St Dunstan in the East Church (Neil's inspiration for the scene) would've matched up with the Blitz scene (1941).
Fan works set between '41 and '90, anyone?
Because that's nearly 50 years of them both knowing the other would save them. That's 50 years of "you can't deny this feeling".
I love that 1967 (another Hard Times cold open scene year) is when London decided to turn it INTO A GARDEN.
What's a nice simple tag for it?

EDIT in case anyone shares from the original post: We're doing 'Ineffable May 10' for any of your Good Omens celebrations around these 33 years off fandom! I'm happy to see OLD AND NEW fan works boosted especially from between 1941 and 1990!
Cool Facts- Not a worm, not a snake, the sagalla caecilian is more closely related to frogs and newts. Isolated to only a single mountain in southeastern Kenya less than 20 square kilometers. These caecilians rarely make their way to the surface, preferring to stay underground near streams. Despite their tiny mouths and slow movement the Sagalla caecilian is a voracious carnivore, feasting on worms and small insects. Sadly, due to their isolated nature, these caecilians are threatened by even the smallest habitat change. Eucalyptus plantations in the surrounding area dry out their soil and pollute their rivers. Conservationists are working with villages to promote good habitat for these species and helping to aid in population counts.
Rating- 13/10 (Wiggly, a little slimy, frankly absurd, little friend.)
A gay and trans KING, this bug-loving chameleon replaces his dad Nat as the head of the Bug-Off! Flick is also an artist who visits the island in his free time to collect gorgeous models to inspire his work, which he will then generously allow us to commission off of him! Like his boyfriend CJ, he sports their business logo, his on the back of his jacket, and CJ on his cap! The two are close “roommates” who just so happen to only have one bed and one bedroom, who do everything together, speak highly of each other, and go on coffee dates together constantly (along with sharing a vacation home in 99.9% of islands I’ve visited). So if he arrives today, wish him a very happy birthday, and gift him a whole swarm of bugs!
When a new traffic light was cause for a big celebration: Brooklyn Democratic Party leader John H McCooey, Mayor Jimmy Walker, and Brooklyn Borough President James J. Byrne lead the parade marking the start of the new traffic light at Pitkin Avenue in Brooklyn, May 10, 1929.
Wake up, Good Omens fandom! We're doing something special!
Ineffable May 10
May 10 is both what is often cited as the date the book published (in 1990) and it's the day St Dunstan in the East Church (Neil's inspiration for the scene) would've matched up with the episode 3 Blitz scene (1941).
Bring on your fan works set between '41 and '90!
New or already shared fan works alike, they cover nearly 50 years of Crowley and Aziraphale knowing the other would absolutely, without a doubt save them. That's 50 years of "you can't deny this feeling".
40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. There's so much you can do with those eras, for Aziraphale and Crowley, other angels and demons, and even many of the humans! Especially in bookverse.
Or do something AU and toss canon to the wind!
(I personally love that 1967, another Hard Times cold open scene year, is when London decided to turn the remains of the Blitz scene church INTO A GARDEN. Crowley definitely had something to do with that.)
You can use the tag for any Good Omens celebrations you have on May 10 but especially for showing those fan works set between 1941 (the Blitz scene!) and 1990 (when the book came out!)
AND HEY!
ANY HELP getting the word out is super. I am but a small fan with an even smaller reach. I want anyone who wants to participate to have a chance to hear about it! Thanks SO SO MUCH!
And speaking of thanks: THANK YOU @flantasticclaude for your enthusiasm for this sudden fandom event, and stepping in to make the above wonderful, rainbow-filled graphic to get the word out.🌈😇😈
Let's all have an amazing fandom celebration on May 10!
