INTERVIEW # 32
Original poster: snarrymod
Your Name, and lj name, if different: Meri (meri_oddities)
Your Team: Romance
1. What made you decide to agree to compete in these games?
I looked at all the cool people who were invited and thought that it would be fun to hang out with them.
2. Why did you choose the Romance Team?
Although my stories have some angst, some tension, I'm all about the happy ending.
3. Have you always been interested in the Severus Snape/Harry Potter dynamic?
I resisted Harry Potter fandom for a long time, but I caved in the summer of 2003 when Order of the Phoenix came out. I read all five at once. I was totally hooked. I read 3 stories with different slash pairings to see which one struck me as right: Remus/Sirius and Harry/Draco and Harry/Snape story. I was intrigued with Harry and Snape's possibilities.
4. What is more challenging to you – working WITH strict canon or working AROUND strict canon?
I work with strict canon, but fan fiction is about fixing things. And this is a magical world. Anything is possible. And in case anyone is interested, if JKR kills off Snape, I'm bringing him back.
5. What motivates you?
The need to get the voices out of my head and onto paper.
6. Do you have plans for (or are you already writing) original fiction?
No. I do this for love and fun. I want the stories to be what I want them to be, not what someone else tells me they should be.
7. What three things are necessary for you to enjoy a story you are reading?
Grammatically correct. Believable characterizations. Plausible plot. Nice writing style.
8. What are your Top 5 favourite fanfiction stories?
Fan fiction in general or Harry Potter? I think I'll just list my favorite HP stories.
The Love Song of the Bastard and the Idiot by Pedatrix
No Room At the Inn by DementorDelta
Absolution by Rushlight
Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme by FemmeSlash
Severus and the Crup by Josan
Quid Pro Quo by Aucta Sinistra
Okay, so that was 6, but I could have listed about 25 without much work.
9. Do you have a story (any fandom) you’ve done that you are most proud of? Would you link it here for us?
Probably my favorite of my own stories is: Courtship Rituals.
10. Are you excited about the Games?
Oh, yes. Very much so. Now, if I could just get my story finished. ;-)
Thank you, meri_oddities!
