1. What made you decide to join the 2007 Snarry Games?
I thought another challenge would motivate me to write, and I was very impressed with the quality of last year's offerings.
Mod note: Schemingreader was an Alternate who was called to service, and we thank her for stepping up!!♥
2. Which Harry Potter character is your favourite to write? To read? (any POV)
I write Snape a lot, probably because he seems to me both sarcastic and insecure. I like how his character combines competence, power and self-control with simmering rage and neediness. I like reading all the characters.
3.What brought Snarry to your attention? Was it a specific event/fic/picture?
I don't remember how I started systematically reading all the stories in snarry_reader. It might have been because caligryphy started a killer Snupin, A Soft Place, and I had to read everything she ever wrote. She never finished the Snupin but she did finish So Lonely Without Me and I thought--hey! This could be a fun pairing to explore!
It's really a hard pairing to write, though. The stories never just pop out.
4. What is your stance on "Quidditch-toned thighs"?
I have never been tempted to deploy that cliche. I don't need Harry to have a beautiful body. (But I do need Severus to have a large penis--that's a cliche I can't do without!)
5. Your own fanfiction (any fandom, any pairing): What do you think is your most underappreciated work? What do you think is your best work? Would you link them here for us?
It feels churlish to say that any story is underappreciated when people leave me good and thoughtful feedback on pretty nearly everything. I wish more people would have read the one Remus/Sirius story I wrote, Faithless. It's a little bit crypto-Snupin though. I can't seem to write a story without Snape in it. (Like the Monty Python sketch about the Spam.)
My best story is always the latest one! I liked Carthage, which I wrote for Snupin Santa this year. I like lonely!Snape.
6. In your opinion, will Severus Snape turn out to be 'Dumbledore's Man' in Book 7, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?
Yes.
I will be shocked if Snape is not loyal to Dumbledore.
7. What do you think of podcasting, the newest fad in fandom? Would you like to hear one of your own stories, or one of your favourites voiced via .mp3?
I would love to hear my stories read, preferably by someone who can actually imitate the accents.
8. What pairing have you never written that you would love to try one day? (Any fandom)
I haven't written much outside of HP. I would love to try Jeeves/Wooster.
9. What's your favourite kink to read?
I love it when characters discover that their bodies can give them more pleasure than they realized.
10. How do you feel about participating in this year's Snarry Games?
I'm delighted to have the opportunity!
Thank you, schemingreader!!
Stay tuned for more Champion Interviews, and even more Crack!Art!
