Happy LJ Anniversary to me!

[blamebrampton]

Four years! SO much fun. Thank you all for putting up with all the madness, from Potter to politics, science to ukuleles.

I thought of writing something for the occasion, but finishing Fathers left me a bit brain dead and my remaining brain is being used for work and for a pinch-hit that I am doing for a fest, because I can almost never say no to a nice mod.

But I did make a little something!  My dear RL friend treacle_tartlet  and I have a similar sense of humour and have been confused for each other in fests once or twice. So here is a foolproof guide to working out whether a story was written by Treacle, or by me! (Apologies for the appalling handwriting (I was watching the news, and my pen ran out of ink), and you will probably need to click to enlarge.)



In other news, thanks so much for all the chocolate heads! MASSIVE pig-out!

Much love, hugs, kisses and fondant-guzzling slurps as appropriate to jesskakay , ineffably_roma ; dear anonymous; curia_regis ; brissygirl ; the_gubette ; ldydark1 ; stellamoon ; naadi ; lilliputian722 ; ladydeth12 ; subtlefire ; taradiane ; painless_j ; sassy_cissa ; groolover ;  alisanne ; alex_s9 ; melusinahp ; ariannagray ; skriftlig ; kitty_fic ; cassie_black12 ; filmatleven ; dysonrules ; tsosh ; phoenixacid ; rickey_a  and nursedarry 

And in answer to some of the notes and questions attached: tomatoe18 , you flatterer, I just have awesome friends!; pushdragon , funnily enough, my brain often feels as though it is made out of strawberry fondant!; fiercedragon13  – thank you! I will endeavour to write more!; unvarnishedtale  -- we will decapitate them all with our gnashy little teeth!; thisgirl_is  -- I try not to think of such things!; alaana_fair  -- a man bearing chocolate!; treacle_tartlet  you have left me not wanting to eat strawberry-centred anything for a while ...; winstonmom  -- it's mutual!; geneva2010  -- work first, the fic will still be there!; kayoko  -- I once shared my Easter eggs with my dog, she ended up at the vet and I ended up in hospital with gastro, I was 2 -- you would be an immensely better option!; lrndng  -- I would like to say it was the first time, but ...'; calanthe_fics  – oh, you knew that there wasn't going to be a sex scene, they're not Marauders!; teganscrush  and chantefable  -- it's chocolate OR ukulele, alas, they don't mix!

And finally, libby_drew , thank you for the picnic basket! You are responsible for so much of the last four years :-) (the rest is mostly norton_gale , Gillian Brampton, Cal, Rai, Ping, Mere and Push ...)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

Chocolate Symphony number one for ukulele and fangirls!!! - see, I mixed them all right. ;)

That chart is genius. <3

Happy LJ-versary - all anniversaries make me think of this song, so... here you go. Congratulations. *\o/*

And damn, that chart makes it tempting to write something masquerading as treacle!fic or brammers!fic...

Terrible young woman!

OH how I love Charles. Thank you, dear! I would love to read a me-fic by you, it would be amazing! Has there ever been a fest where people impersonate each other? Could go horribly wrong, but could be BRILLIANT!!

(And I need to get off LJ and on to my ukulele practise for the evening! )

THIS IS THE BEST FEST PREMISE EVER.

Re: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

If we can't convince others of it as a premise, the three of us alone would be terrific!

Re: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

[chantefable.livejournal.com]

WE SHOULD DO IT. It will be hilarious. :D

Re: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

[chantefable.livejournal.com]

The fest where people impersonate each other would be IT! <3 Brilliant! Ah, I would gleefully and diligently work to impersonate you (even though I cannot dream to approach your awesomeness, alas); the effort to produce anything appropriately brammeresque would take about four years, though. At least according to the expert chart!

Re: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Darling I would be hard-pressed to emulate your brain of twisty genius! But let's try anyway! And pinch-hits from me can be produced in 15 days or less as has been proven on several occasions ;-)

Re: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

[chantefable.livejournal.com]

Heeee! Let's try! I think I agree with Treacle that the world is not ready for a fest, but we are ready to be the hopelessly giggling pioneers. Three vivacious impersonators. :D Do we need a sandbox community? I would have started one straight away, but was faced with the necessity of choosing a name and, well, our usernames don't really make a clever anagram except for CBT? Which would be quite misleading, as you might agree.

(Of course, Treacle will start writing a CBT fic before I finish that thought, because the universe works like that!)

Re: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

[tigersilver.livejournal.com]

This you could (mayhap) possibly do--by all means, muddy the waters with chocolate!

[phoenixacid.livejournal.com]

Aahahahaha, I took a random Brammers and Treacle fic to test the chart out - it works!

Happy anniversary!!!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Thank you, darling! I was going to mention the chart to Treacle first, but I thought it would be funnier listening to her howls of outrage over the internet ;-) And of course it works!

[treacle-tartlet.livejournal.com]

HOWLS OF LAUGHTER!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

My work here is complete!

Plus it is a useful resource for the confused!

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on your lj-versary! I'm very glad you chose to share with us all your musings, from whichever sphere they come!

Sorry I've not managed to get onto reading 'Fathers' yet - after tomorrow will have a little more time and I look forward to it :)

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

There's on rush -- it will be on the internet for YEARS!

And thank you! For the putting up with the lunacy and tardiness as well as everything else. (BTW, poor T! Head injuries always bleed madly, but they heal well!)

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

it will be on the internet for YEARS!

And thank goodness for that! (not that I think it will take me that long to read it!!)

(Thank you for your kind thoughts. She's so completely fine, now, I can't believe it. I checked her head this evening and there's the tiniest little nick there still, but otherwise it's great. Good thing she heals so fast, considering her inherent clumsiness LOL )

[libby-drew.livejournal.com]

Four years, really? Where does the time go?

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

(I spent most of it finishing that one bloody story ...)

[libby-drew.livejournal.com]

*pat pat* It happens to the best of us.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

I'm going on 9 years. The time goes byh quickly, doesn't it?

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MY DEAR UKELELE PLAYING BRAMMERS <3

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Thank you, daring! And yes, yes it does. And yet I am still SO FAR BEHIND in reading and writing and everything!!!

[treacle-tartlet.livejournal.com]

I like to think that I have a fairly decent vocabulary, but I simply do not have the words to express how much I adore you.

♥ Congratulations on fours years of fabulousness! Our corner of fandom would be a darker place without you, darling!

♥ We should definitely try to get that fest off the ground, even if it is just you, me, and chantefable!

♥ THAT CHART IS THE BEST OF ALL THINGS.

♥ I am trying not to make a lie out of one claim, that my sequels are completed in a more timely manner than yours...*stares nervously at Pomegranate sequel file*

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I am stretching my arms out to their full orang-like extent and saying 'THIS MUCH!'

And yes, it would be HILARIOUS! Let's do it! So pleased you like the chart, I cackled the whole time I was writing it. And, darling, you have another THREE YEARS!

[treacle-tartlet.livejournal.com]

It has been almost two years since Pomegranate was first posted! D:

I cackled the whole time I was reading the chart! It totally made up for the fact that one of my very straight, male RL friends found and read part of my underage daddy!kink Arthur/Eames porn epic earlier tonight!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Why is it always the worst possible option that is stumbled upon?

[absynthedrinker.livejournal.com]

LOL! Your chart is perfection itself! Thanks for the giggle!

Peace,
Bubba

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

In real life, she is most of a foot taller and naturally blonde -- we look like the lesbians in QAF US when we are together, just with longer hair ;-)

[absynthedrinker.livejournal.com]

LOL! Now there's an image.

Peace,
Bubba

[being-here.livejournal.com]

Oh amazing! What a useful chart ;p

Happy versary dear!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And see, no one will ever be confused again!

[kerryblaze.livejournal.com]

Happy Anniversary!!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Thank you! (Mmmm, Bradley icon ...)

[winstonmom.livejournal.com]

Happy Anniversary, you don't look a year over 3! what is your secret?
I have to say I always look forward to your postings (whatever the subject may be. I've learned more about Aus politics than I ever expected)
Enjoy!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Sunblock, moisturiser, and never, ever smoke!

XXX I am so glad we met!

[geneva2010.livejournal.com]

Happy anniversary! and your advice is sound.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Work should always come first, that way you can read without guilt! ;-) And thank you!

[shezan.livejournal.com]

Terrific graphic! And happy LJversary!!!

[ariannagray.livejournal.com]

That chart is awesome and so handy. I usually suck at guessing, but now.. hehehe. xD

Happy anniversary!

[snottygrrl.livejournal.com]

[pingrid.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Darling, that is a chart for BRILLIANCE!

Happy anniversary, bb BB! :X

(Spelling edited to try and hide the fact that I'm typing in crab-like fashion in the dark with laptop wobblingly perched on bosom ...)

[subtlefire.livejournal.com]

Hooray! Happy LJ-versary!

♥ That chart :D ♥

[bonfoi.livejournal.com]

Thank you for allowing me to peek into your world!

[kitty_fic]

♥

Happy Lj-versary!

[tigersilver.livejournal.com]

By all the minor and majaor Arcane, this is soo helpful! At last I shall know right off the bat who it is and perhaps manage to guess correctly on the next damned poll (I do polls to keep myslef properly a Humble!Tiger only; for no other reason, as I never win:<)
Cheers to your aniversary and your very Major Accomplishment; I am proud of you, and also simply grateful you breathe daily, you write (at all!) and you're in fine fettle. Bloody CHEERS!

[alicambs.livejournal.com]

It contains guest appearances by Boris Johnson - snigger. :-)

I did tell you I was on the same flight as him one time didn't I? He's smaller than I thought and even blonder.

Highly entertaining read by the way. :-)
