Well, I enjoy your writing when I read it, but other than Milliways you actually write stuff fairly rarely, you know. And when you do, it tends to be -- not always, but tends to be -- short, contemplative pieces. Contemplative is fine and valid, and you do it very well, but it doesn't interest me personally (this isn't just you -- other BNFs in the GO fandom do similar things and I'm utterly nonplussed by their writing too). And sometimes you're writing fic in fandoms I don't read :/
Good Omens, which I tend to think of as your "main" fandom, is also very difficult to work in because it's a very finite book. There are really only two characters that are interesting in-situ (the Them are fun but limited, and aging them up creates its own issues). The universe is very...complete, I guess. It's hard to imagine a multiple-book series based on it, you know?
I guess before I can give you any really constructive feedback I want to know why you ask. Do you want to write stuff that will get more attention within fandom, or do you want to write pieces that will help you figure out how to be a better writer? The two are sometimes mutually exclusive, though not always -- and the advice for each differs greatly.
