blamebrampton: 15th century woodcut of a hound (Default)

Public notice

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.

Is there a reward? *G*

Aw... I have had similar issues, but my main problem is time - I have no time to write!

Sizable! Though less if found dead.

I had all the time in the world on the weekend. Should have spent it cleaning ...

I see. I see.

What if it's returned mildly bruised?

I suspect it's actually run off with that calico tom cat that's been hanging around in your yard, and will turn up sheepishly in a little while with a few interestingly coloured kittens in tow.

*hugs you*

Have you considered having it microchipped?

Or maybe just fish'n'chipped. *ponders*

There's nothing wrong with scotch and chocolate. *eyes up pantry contents and drug packets meaningfully*

I think it's gone on holiday with mine....

Well, just get Harry and Draco to Seek it. It must be something like a Snitch. It's certainly golden, if a bit dipsomaniacal.

O.O
Perhaps it has just atrophied from disuse (while we have kept you chained to the beta-beast). Could you try writing a few drabble or ficlets to build up its muscle tone before attempting anything longer?

Full reward, I will nurse it back to health with Austen and asparagus.

*Hugs back* Maybe they are BOTH in the Bahamas!

Ewww asparagus. Your poor talent. No wonder it doesn't want to come home.

Biscuit is a girl cat! And I am meant to be regaining my healthy fitness ways, which leads me to believe that it may have gone out on a binge without me, the little bugger.

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2009-09-27 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Bahamas, definitely. The little bastards!

You're a love. Though I suspect it may be plated brass at the moment ... *Looks behind sofa*

I like your theory, though I blame work editing rather than fandom. I have to finish both those stories you have copies of before I do anything else! All I can manage is bad jokes and exposition :-(

:-P It loves it! And broccoli!

Well, if it's really on a rebellious binge, it will probably crawl back into the house at 3am, knock over everything it can, and then sit down and write totally filthy and perverted pwp involving kitchen utensils and tropical fruit, before falling asleep at the keyboard and waking with a mouth only a camel could love and wondering where it's been for the last three days. :D

That would be someone else's talent, and I would have to take care of it and hope they had mine!

[identity profile] faynia.livejournal.com 2009-09-27 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you're quite a liar. Liking broccoli and asparagus. Jeez.

They're lying about on some white-sanded beach, sipping outrageously large fruity rum drinks, oggling the boys walking by, and trying to figure out which ones would be most likely to get smashed and shag in the pool in front of everyone.

*sighs mournfully*

Damn them.

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. . . :)

Running off with stragners. I've heard that about you. Are you sure you're not projecting?

[identity profile] emerald-dragon8.livejournal.com 2009-09-28 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
I know exactly how that feels. I've been trying to bribe mine with sparkly things and the offer of a new job but alas...I got about 600 words out on the weekend, which is more than I have in about two months, but still not impressive.

Good luck with yours!
