Dennis Creevey: Stakeout #37
I don't know why my editor insists on changing the title of every single piece that's handed into her. It's not that her titles are bad - they use a few too many puns sometimes, but then we are writing for the Prophet - it's just that no matter how good a title you write, she always changes it up.

For example, I had this article published yesterday:

Fine right? Well yeah, apart from the fact that I had to literally get on my hands and knees to get her to keep that title and not change it to "All fur one and one fur all" which apart from being horribly punny, would have fallen rather flat with anyone who hasn't happened to have read the Three Musketeers.

Anyway, how is everyone? This journal is keeping me awake on possibly the most boring stakeout in the history of stakeouts. The joys of being the junior reporter on the beat, right?

I don't know what you did to the cupboard but it nearly decapitated me yesterday. Fix it before I get home, please.

[Warded to Seamus]
Princess, I haven't seen you in forever and I am beginning to pout about it. We need to fix this now.

	Probably has to do with the job title that involves editing. That's my guess. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Trying to change a title about illegal fishing in the North Sea to "Oh Fishy, fishy, fishy fish, I wonder where that fish has gone" is not a good title change Zacharias. It's a Monty Python reference. She even puts quotes from that Doctor Who show back in the 70s into titles. It's a minefield of pop-cultural references lost on anyone but Muggle-borns.

	Then your editor is an idiot, and so is anyone who hired her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
