My brain has melted

Which is good only from the perspective that it renders it unattractive to the tastebuds of the ravening undead.

Why are you blathering on about Zombies, Brammers? you may ask. Ah ha! I say, You are clearly unaware that this month marks the publication of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which is a real and actual book.

Having perused the opening chapters (the first three can be downloaded here), I am kicking myself a little, since I have clearly missed an obvious career move. Doing mash-ups of the classics seems so obvious now I think of it. Alas, I did not think of it first. And it is a genuine alas here, since the writer who did think of it is simply not as funny as I would have been.

However, I am not too proud to jump on a comedy-rich bandwagon. Hence, I have decided to devote myself to some new writing: Emma the Vampire Slayer, Mansfield Werewolf Park, Northanger Abbey of the Damned, and, my masterwork, Sense and Insensibility, in which Marianne Dashwood is raised from the dead by her mad scientist sister. 

I may be some time ...

I've already written one mash-up for HP, and I can't wait to post it, but I'm possibly using it for my Beltane fic if I can't manage to write anything better.

I'm also working on turning Jane Eyre into a Harry Potter story. Mind you, so far I haven't had to change hardly a thing but the names.

I meant to say that I'm maybe using the first mash-up as my Beltane fic, so I can't tell you what it is, but believe me... it's fucking great.

I know, it's so obvious as to be hilarious. The put-upon orphan, the imperious, hateful family, school-as-salvation, the dark, mysterious, ugly, bad-tempered man who can't leave the gorgeous, elfin young thing alone... it's a natural.
