Bussell's avatar is really weirding me out.
Who is the least successful writer who posts here? Page 5

You're my wife now, Graham.
Quote: Sofa_Matt @ July 30 2008, 9:56 AM BSTYes, somebody must be able to beat me. I've actually submitted two short skits to critique since I've been here. Christ I'm a workaholic, someone get me a chair, oh and a drink, and a sandwich made by Leevil would be nice.
The only thing I've written so far is a rewrite of a line in a Sootyj skit. And I've actually made the thing shorter as it was before, so maybe my writing record is in the negative now. My intention of becoming a writer hasn't been that strong from the start, though.
Well, that sounds thouroughly pathetic. I win. Yay!

Oooh, we have a new contender. Sofa Matt is positively a powerhouse next to this man!
Surely the least succesful would be defined as the person who has written most but failed to get anywhere with anything? If you've only written a couple of skits you're not a failure, just a lazy bastard.

Ha! Finck's a girl.
I did that with zooo. I assumed for weeks she was a gayer.

As long as you don't mind the teeth marks.

Or a beginner.

I sort of hope the opposite.
Quote: Griff @ July 30 2008, 10:20 AM BSTNo kidding. Actually what happens with me is that I knuckle down to some writing, and then as soon as I get bored of my characters and my story and my jokes I log onto BSG for a bit of entertainment. Two hours later I return to writing. It's now midnight. Determined to get the scene finished anyway, I stay up till 2am to get it written.
End result (1) I am so knackered the next day it's a miracle I haven't killed anybody on the drive to work (2) my script is even shitter than it would have been anyway because I was exhausted when I wrote it.
You know why this is? Because Aaron actually hates writers and it's all part of his masterplan to keep us from writing.
Are you really a Teutonic woman?

As far as I know, yes.

I'm sorry to say I did. For a Halloween party in fact. In Brixton. The moment I arrived every black person at the party vanished. And there I was pleading, "but I'm Papa Lazarou! You know, from The League of Gentlemen? I'm not even human!"

Can we have a rule about people using appropriate genders in their avatars? I'm tired of the feeling of shame I have to endure when I realise I've sullied myself to someone who only later turns out to be a girl.
