And after all that overthinking, I feel like a meme.

A variant of the old "ask any of my characters a question" meme, I think.

Bring any of my characters a problem.

Write a problem page style letter in the comments, as long or short as you like, and in the subject line write who you'd like to respond to it - IC agony aunt style replies will be forthcoming. Anonymous posting welcome.


For the record, I'll respond as any character I'm familiar with. I won't guarantee the quality, but... HP, Good Omens, Discworld, various and sundry. If you've been watching my journal you ought to have some idea. :)

Dear Auntie Crowley

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

I'm currently having problems with The Ladies. My main problem is that they seem to pass right over me on the way to my far more charming and attractive friends, and I get left holding the ticket stubs while they go "Um, I'm not really into girls" a lot.

How can I make women love me, Oh Auntie Crowley?

I've always found a first edition and a cup of tea works wonders.

Dear Individual too lazy to come up with one of those ssodding awful nicknames,

(I invented those, you know. Show some respect.) You have to be subtle about this. Make conversation with them while your charming and attractive friends are getting a manicure, or hogging the bathroom, whatever. Get to know them a little. Be thoughtful; not often enough that they take you for granted, not a chance, just every now and again show you've been paying attention to what they have to say.

Not necessary, but fun: be just a little bit ruder to everyone else. If they're anything like - if they're the least bit predictable they'll be pleased enough to have better treatment from you that they'll overlook the bad behaviour. Two birds, one stone, see?

Oh, and avoid voodoo dolls, black magic or succubus summonings, if you would. They never work, and they always get his back up.

- A.J. Crowley

Does that work on villainny, Aunty Crowley? Or just ... *coughAziraphaelcough*

Don't know what you mean. (Shut up).

And Nny is easily bought and easily kept. Just not so easily convinced.

Hmmmmmmmm.

So, tea and first editions constitute a foot in the door? How on earth does one get into the hallway, as 'twere?

Re: Dear Auntie Crowley

Tea and first editions would embarrass and flatter. Knowing when tea is needed (clue: always), remembering things she's said, talking to her, those are all hallway and beyond. Doesn't take much.

'course, it depends on the person.

Nny refuses to answer this question on the grounds that it may incriminate her.
