8 - upwards to infinity
Welcome to our eighth prompt post.
As ususal, here are a few things to keep in mind:
1) All fills for prompts of the earlier prompt posts go in the post the prompt was posted in. No re-posting or splitting up prompts and fills.
2) Self-prompt when you post unprompted fic. (This means posting what the fill is about in a first comment, like a real ( Read more... )

Plz to be prompt-waving (though I won't promise, as I would hate it to be a LibDem-type pledge!)

I checked 09 briefly and found 2 Camerband (although I may have missed some, having been hijacked by the Andy/Ed NYE epic with all the crossouts).
One concerns a phone mixup early one Christmas Eve morning. The other is an EMil/anyone (inc. David) on the basis that Ed is a sex-god ... (I could go with that premise, but in Ed's own individual style of course).

Alright, I'll confess. I am a shameless geek, and need help :P...
I admit to prompting them both - the "EMil is a sex god" one started off as a joke after reading a Fail article about his exes,
but the rl plot bunny I was going to wave was the phone mixup - thought it was lighthearted enough that it would be nice to see if it could be woven into Stratford!verse... It might be interesting to see how DCam deals with a irate sort-of-in-law?
(But seriously, anything you like - If you take your awesome writing pen to either, I will build you your own temple, and wave ostrich feather fans. Or a gilt fan. Or something.)
-Guh.

The only reservation I have about the phonecall is that the Stratford scenario doesn't take place until April 2011, so it would either have to be NEXT Chriatmas Eve, or a modified scenario that might Just Happen (ie the call wouldn't be for Ed's bfday, (Yes, I AM that sad, working out timelines!)
The sex-god thing would just have to be David letting on to George about the Stratford Night, who then spreads gossip so that a bewildered Ed suddenly finds all kinds of people coming on to him (and queuing round the block outside his office door)......

And yes, now you mention it, I wonder if the Camerband would have established itself as a srs but hidden from the family relationship over the nine months between April and December? (see, I'm not sure how you're gonna finish this 'un yet)
But wouldn't that imply that the Milibros had taken just over a year to thaw? (Not impossible, if you factor in Blairite stirring at the levels its at atm...)And imply that DMil would go to the US for xmas two years in a row..you're right, it might have to 'just happen', maybe with DMil on one of his foreign visits (according to his twitter)?
But in all honesty, authoranon, everything in that previous comment has me on tenterhooks, it all sounds divine :)

Oh David, unexpected twist! Authoranon I'm trusting you to let all be well that ends well, as they say in Stratford!
If you're going to act comedy drunkenness, I think Boris is probably a good exemplar. But David had better not be trifling with The Panda's affections!

That photograph is really the gift that keeps on giving.

They've both just been to see Macbeth, too; which contains a cameo drunken-porter role. Emough to give David a few tips and (maybe) alert Ed to the acting skillz(?).

My fault that I tumbled to it too late, eh? You can tell the Chancellor all about that; I’m sure he’ll find it most amusing. Oh, Ed! This part was so aaaaw, you just want to cuddle the poor brave bruised Panda bear! Naughty DCam, trifling with pandas' affections!
I worked out the rest as a series of possibilities, Prime Minister. You supplied the final proof just now. I have to say, I wish it had been anything but that one. <--- This is it - why I love this verse! It's a lighthearted world, but still very in character - this is just so Ed, using rationalities even while his heart is being broken :( I love that he uses the much more formal 'Prime Minister', and it feels like a barrier...
And how did you know that 'Lothario makes bet to seduce someone but sees error of his ways' is one of my fave tropes? It's perfect for this prompt - the mixture of Ed's bitter calm logic and hope at the end..just..wow. 'join me in a ( ... )

Think I might need to write a short Epilogue to this. Just a few paras.
I'm really glad you liked the story.

Though, Ed, it would be hard to stay mad for too long with DCam clad only in a towel. IMNSHO.

See above - think a short Epilogue might be in order - just to indicate how things progressed ....

Might I also direct your attention to the prompt someone has just posted about DCam lunching with the Milibands and trying to make what he thinks is suitably left-wing conversation? I saw that prompt and thought of you I have to say.
