Friending Policy

Hi Friends, LJ Users, Nigerian Scammers, Russian Bots and sundry others!
Thanks for taking a moment to read my sticky post on friending.

On the whole, there's no need to friend me if you just want to read my fics, since they are posted unlocked. In fact, most of my locked posts are me ranting about the state of the world (usually from a politics or media slant) or some such.

Generally, I am a ready friender. If you friend me and you have entries in your livejournal or have commented on some of my posts, you can usually expect to be friended back, unless:
* There are no entries in your LJ.
* I do not recall us ever having 'spoken' online (given how selective my memory is, you should probably assume this.)
* Your LJ is written wholly in a language I do not speak (pretty much anything that is not English, or French or Italian (both of which I speak poorly), or German, Spanish, Latin, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Welsh or Irish (all of which I have a smattering of and enough reference books to get the gist.) (Though if your journal is in actual Latin as opposed to Lorem Ipsum, I will probably immediately friend you on principle.)
* Your journal consists of several entries a day concerning My Little Pony, school and whether your hair looks better in plaits, pigtails, or with a fringe pouf. You are probably adorable, but should not be subjected to my occasional flocked rants.

SO, if you've friended me (thanks!) and I've not friended you back, just drop a brief line saying 'Excuse me, oh vague and neglectful one, could you friend me back please?'

I can't guarantee that I will ever have time to be a good lj friend, but I will try and provide you with amusing content and I always try to read my whole flist. Well, the stuff before the cut at any rate.

"I hereby dedicate this rimming scene to my dear old friend/colleague/acquaintance X." Nope, doesn't sound quite right. *giggles stupidly*

I should be ashamed of myself! Occasionally I am, but probably not often enough... ;)

Could HE be pregnant?!? *points to the cuuuuute icon by the talented Yumekutteikt* Maybe a chaste kiss to that sweet and innocent face. *nods*

No! He is off to the shops to buy chocolate! mpreg should not happen to nice little blonds!

[identity profile] adores-draco.livejournal.com 2009-05-17 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
He is a sweetheart, but I wouldn't actually mind some dodgy mpreg dedicated to me... :) I can see him craving chocolate and eating chalk.

Ave!

(Sorry, I simply couldn't resist.)

All I can say abt my hair, floppy as it is in its BoJo way, is that it has never been associated w plaits or pigtails. I presume that having a sherry with Peter Tatchell at the Edinburgh Festival is not what you had in mind w/r/t Fringe poufs?

*Awards bar to friend status*

[And, on a more sombre note, has Mr Tatchell made it out of Russia without further harm? News here is tremendously sketchy on the topic.]

Nescio.

He shall, though. The lad's indestructible.

Целый дома Gryffindor было преследовано с приходя спичкой. Gryffindor hadn' t выиграл чашку Quidditch с легендарного Чарли Weasley (Ron' имеемый брат s во-вторых самый старый) были искателем. Но Гарри усомнилось хотели ли любое из их, даже древесина, выиграть как много по мере того как он сделал. вражда между Гарри и Malfoy находилась на своей высшей точке всегда. Malfoy был все еще smarting, поединки грязь-бросая случай в Hogsmeade и был даже более злющ которого Harry как-то проникл его путь из наказание. Гарри hadn' Malfoy' забытое t; попытка s саботировать его в спичке против Ravenclaw, но было делом Buckbeak которое сделало его решительно для того чтобы побить Malfoy перед всей школой.

If I hadn't friended Brammers for her posts alone, then most certainly for the kind of comments she gets. This about killed me!!! And I don't even know what this Little Pony is that you are speaking of. But now I want that movie! Seriously - some producer has to watch that clip and make it. Little girls with rifles, flying rainbow-coloured winged ponies, children vs. parents???? How good can it get?

haha ;)

ps:- did you see these horrific hp/mpl crossover comics? *shudders*

1) maybe we shouldn't have used the horseradish

2) the marauders meet my little pony

3) i'll get you for this, potter!

That was one scary video

...you understand a lot of languages :O

[identity profile] siria.livejournal.com 2009-05-18 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, you'll probably think I'm a total stalker. But I just had a look at your icons because I thought the one that you used for this comment was so, so, cool. Are you still wondering who made your "h/d: angst" icon? Because it was miints. At least I hope it was her/him, because I credited them in my keywords. :)

[identity profile] aldehyde.livejournal.com 2009-05-18 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
hehe i don't think you're a stalker at all for doing that :D i'll update my icon credits right away - thanks for the heads up!

Hi! I just decided to friend you as I love your fic and noticed the post on Tim Minchin (isn't he awesome?).

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2009-05-23 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! And yes, he really is!

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2009-05-23 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, understand a bit ... and since most of them have many words in common with English, that's a help, then Latin is useful with French, Spanish and Italian, and I did a bit of Welsh and Irish at university and still have all my textbooks. So I'm not as smart as I look on paper, but a good faker and fast learner ;-)

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2009-05-23 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh you're a funny bugger ;-)

Don't you love babelfish ... I wonder what it has to say in brackets about Ron?

[identity profile] franalan.livejournal.com 2009-05-25 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I've just friended you...hope you don't mind! I love your fics, and I like to friend people who I read a lot....

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2009-05-25 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't mind at all! Friended you right back!

[identity profile] franalan.livejournal.com 2009-05-26 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
Wooo! New friend! XD

[identity profile] curia-regis.livejournal.com 2009-05-28 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
I've just friended you. *g* Partially because I'm all squeeful to find somebody else who writes dystopian fics. Partially because [livejournal.com profile] emerald_dragon8 says you're awesome. And partially because you're a fellow Aussie. :)

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2009-05-28 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I love that girl! To confess, I am a fake Aussie, but I have a blue passport if not the accent or upbringing, and I chose to move here, so that counts. This is the only real dystopian fic I have written, though several others tough on darker political themes. It will not be the last, though. And friended you right back!

[identity profile] curia-regis.livejournal.com 2009-05-28 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
She is definitely awesome. *g* I live in the same city as her so we know each other in RL. I took her out a few weeks ago for her birthday and then we made equally silly LJ posts about it.

Aww, well according to some, I wouldn't count as a true Aussie either but I just raise an eyebrow at them and tell them to go away. I consider myself an Aussie, therefore I am one! *g*

Yay! I look forward to reading other political or dystopian stuff from you. :)

If you like political comedy, For the Public Good isn;t bad!
