Good Omens Magnetic Poetry

I’m editing, editing. What could I do for break? I know…word games. There’s re-w-or-d-a-ble. (Not a sponsorship endorsement but word geek fun.) What else?

What do I like? Let’s see, poetry, remixing, chance operations, corpus studies, Good Omens and making stuff.

I have 5 sets of magnetic poetry. What if I made a Good Omens one? Which words are keyword bingo troped? I brainstormed some.

I have a base set, a gardening set, a CanLit set, a French base set, and some yellowed ones that I’m not sure what they were from. One of the sets came with blanks. And I have a labelmaker. We have a plan. 

So I made a thing. 

I have been setting aside those thin fridge magnets that advertisers send for 20 years or so (including ones from All Lit Up) and miraculously put them in the same place together.

If you have the same stuff, you’re set.

If you don’t, you can make your own set with 8 1/2 x 11 or A4 magnetic sheets which are thin and printable on, for $24 or so. Or heavier magnetic sheets plus adhesive paper for $12 or so more. You can google where. Probably Michael’s or other craft stores. (My computer thinks I’m in Europe so I can’t see Canadian inventory at places.

I could try selling kits but that’s a lot of work and shipping and sales and profit/loss, meh, and permissions, so I’ll copyleft it. If the Terry Pratchett Estate wants to make some, so much the better.

Here’s a DIY starter pack to print of 196 392 Good Omens words. It’s in Helvetica Neue, size 13, (when you want to add words to match).

I made two 8 1/2 x 11 sheets. Have fun.

Edit: Good lord, I kept going. I’m done. (Surely.) Version 3. There are 3 sheets. I rearranged some for best fit on page and voted some words off for better ones. 588 words/names symbols/affixes/suffixes in .doc and .pdf
