Lost: Brammer's talent
Last seen: Around HP10K time, though, if we're honest, it's all been downhill since 'Who? Voldemort?' 'No, Peter Mandelson.'
Description: Erratic, flighty, prone to obscure references, but likes a good laugh and a pratfall as much as anyone. Prone to running off with strangers and then being all coy about it afterwards. Overly alliterative. Occasionally found in pubs saying things like 'This Scotch is really very good!' Cannot resist conversation on story structure, unable to maintain serious facade for any length of time.
If found: Please do not feed alcohol or chocolate. Please keep quiet in dark box with ready access to water. Owner will be by to pick up ASAP. Sizable reward offered.

You have my sympathy and camaraderie. I've got a perfect idea for ending a fic in my head, but it won't get on the page in anything that even looks coherent. The tricks that I tell my students to use are proving just as annoying to me as they are to the students. Gotta love karma. . .

If it helps, there's at least one person who would really, really, REALLY love to the see the end of Fathers. . . :)

Fathers is no problem! I have the end of Fathers all sorted, it's just that I should be writing for a certain fest before then. Maybe what I need to do is to actually finish Fathers and then the fest story will come ... actually, you may be onto something! Maybe my talent is just protesting my procrastination!

Yes! Your talent definitely wants you to finish Fathers! It's put all this effort in, and you keep patting it on the head and telling it to focus on other stuff. It has now dug it's heels in until you acknowledge it properly.

Don't look at me like that, it makes perfect narrative and psychological sense!
