blamebrampton: 15th century woodcut of a hound (Default)
[personal profile] blamebrampton
1. If you are a slash fandom person, you WILL love this comic. If you are not, you may anyway. ETA: After reading further, much of my flist resembles this comic.

2. Due to unexpected events, I am making my living for November and December, and possibly January by freelance writing. Which is fine financially and fun intellectually, but means that I get to the end of the day and am utterly pants at writing anything else. Will be back in a fortnight after all my deadlines are met, or possibly earlier if I type faster!

3. MY BICYCLE IS THE BEST THING EVER!!! There will be a dedicated post to its glories as soon as I get organised to take and download photos. Sydney is SO much less lethal than it was the last time I was riding here. Though I have to factor in extra time as people keep asking me about the bike and panniers every time I take it out. I feel as though I should have flyers saying 'Interested in Dutch-style bikes? Ask me now!'

4. Have been reading Death Comes to Pemberley by PD James. It's quite up and down, but she gets one thing right that is managed by only about 13% of writers anywhere in the Anglosphere.
These are candelabra:


This is a candelabrum:

This is a candlestick:
If you can get that right, you will make pedants happy all over the world!

Someone recced that site on my flist earlier today, and I literally spent my entire day reading every story from the first one to the most recent. It was hilarious. My new favourite thing!

I have to keep going through it, as soon as I finish all my work and that bloody PD James (about which, let me just say that I think I know what the end is and I will be RIGHTEOUSLY annoyed if I am right ;-))

It came across my tumblr feed and I was all: 'This is relevant to the interests of my flist!' The expressions in the final panels made me LOL.

So much love for this post, from the comic to the bike (BIKES, yay!!!) to the candlestick. Would you believe I have actual tears in my eyes from laughing?! Good luck on your writing and the deadlines, Brammers!

VAYSH!!! *HUGS!!*

I have to confess that I had not realised how used I had become to seeing people get it wrong until it was perfect in this book and I kept being happy every time I read 'polished the candelabrum' (NB: not a euphemism).

I don't know how many times I've read those comics. SO GOOD!

Also I think that candalabrum is an adorable word. x)

It is a great word, I hope it regains its rightful place in the world :-) And I am new to those comics and may not get to sleep at a reasonable hour after foolishly thinking 'I'll just check one more ...'

This conversation in our house happened about half an hour ago:
Me: He darling, have you seen this webcomic?

Mr B: Oh yes, Oglaf, it's great!

Me: How could you not tell me?

Mr B: Well there's a lot of porn ...

Me: AND GRAMMAR JOKES!

Mr B: Yes, I should have known that you would just flick though the porn to get to the grammar ...

I still can't get over PD James writing fanfic. It's like Pride, Prejudice & Zombies broke some kind of boundary, and now writers are all, "Well I wouldn't go that far, but how about this?"

Mister Creecher is quite interesting. And he pulls a rather neat twist at the end, with a surprise crossover. (I'll try not to give too much away.)

Thanks so much for the comics recs :D I love the gladiators one.

And isn't "candelabra" the plural form of "candelabrum"? *is confused*

Date: 2011-12-05 11:56 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com
Yes, that's exactly right! You need two or more. Alas, in most of the Anglosphere, candelabra has come to be used in the singular, which is madness and a clear sign of the decay of civilisation!

I told you so months ago!


I can't see a difference between 1 and 2. :( Fffffffffffffffff I'm really blind! At least I can recognise a candle? At least if it's lit. And close enough.

From: [identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com
OMG, you DID tell me about that comic and I meant to look it up but wholly forgot! BRAIN OF VERY THICK FISH HERE!

The only difference is that you have one candelabrum and two or more candelabra, but unfortunately candelabra is increasingly used as the singular as well as the plural, which is MADNESS!!! ;-)

Mmmm, shiny, shiny pedantry. (But I'm not polishing it.)

Without clicking, I'm going to guess the Oglaf comic is the recent "gladiators" one? I thought of posting that myself.

The comic is hilarious. Thank you for sharing. It's not the sort of thing I'd come across on my own.

Sigh.... bicycles...every spring we mean to buy new ones ( our old bikes went the way of the crap heap) and every autumn I wonder why we haven't bought our new bikes yet. We live in a bike friendly country ( Germany) and up North it's flat so really you'd think we'd have done this by now but nope...and I really want a bike since I live miles from anywhere that even remotely resembles a shop.

I stick my candles in lanterns so that whole candle stick issue isn't an issue. ( evil grin)

Thank you for the fabulous rec on the comic...I had a blast going through the archives and was left wanting more which is a feeling that fandom has taught me to love because it means I found something unique and well-done. Much like your fics! It's too bad that your creative writing will be delayed for a few months, but the fact that you can make money with your talent is a lovely thing!
