CHAMPION INTERVIEW # 46, Briarwolf!
Original poster: snarrymod
Your Name (lj and/or Penname): Briar (briarwolf)
Your Team: Team Wartime
(Mod Note: You can find briarwolf's Wartime entry to the Games here.)
1. What made you decide to join the 2007 Snarry Games?
Nerves, mostly. There was a bit of goading to get me to sign up for the lottery last year, and when the invite showed up this year, I was massively intimidated by all the talent in the stories from last winter's games. I have a habit of refusing to let things that scare me get the better of me, so before I could chicken out I replied to the invite with a yes. I'm still not sure what I was thinking, and the nerves haven't gone away.
2. Which Harry Potter character is your favourite to write? To read? (any POV)
Snape, in both cases. He says the sort of things that I'd love to be able say out loud and is absolutely unapologetic. There's also so much going on with his character, especially after HBP, that there are so many plausible ways for him to go. This makes for a lot of wildly different and endlessly interesting fic to read.
3.What brought Snarry to your attention? Was it a specific event/fic/picture?
If I remember correctly, a friend and I were discussing a particularly sad fanfic written for another fandom and she suggested that I give IYAP a shot. I was familiar with Potter fandom through H/D fic at the time, and I remember being surprised that anyone would consider writing Harry and Snape together. Then I started reading and turned rabid. XD
4. What is your stance on "Quidditch-toned thighs"?
Obviously, I focus too much on the events going on during the mention of said thighs, as I rarely notice use of this. Or, I've just been lucky and have only come across it rarely. (Would a pun about Snape's come on those thighs be amiss here? Heh.) While it makes me giggle a bit, it's nice to think of Harry putting those toned thighs to good use.
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?
Ah. I'm with everyone else on not thinking any work that gets a comment is underappreciated. Out of everything I've written though, I think In Shallows and in Miseries (implied Snarry, adult) was a bit too dark to do anything but be faintly disturbing, which may explain why it received very little feedback.
As far as best... That's a tough one. The piece I'm proudest of at the moment is an original piece that's out for submission, so I can't link it.
6. In your opinion, will Severus Snape turn out to be 'Dumbledore's Man' in Book 7, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?
I kind of hope not. By which I mean, I hope Severus Snape turns out to be his own man in Book 7 and that happens to coincide with him being against the Dark Lord. Really, the only thing I hope for from Book 7 is that he remains alive at the end of it.
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 haven't actually checked out any fandom related podcasts. As far as stories go, I probably wouldn't listen to them, as I've very distinct voices in my head for each character. I've always stayed away from audio books for that reason.
8. What pairing have you never written that you would love to try one day? (Any fandom)
While I've technically written them, it was only a drabble where they didn't actually interact, so I'm going to pretend it doesn't count for Ron/Draco. As for one of my many, many anime/manga fandoms, I'd really like to finish something for Klaus/Dorian of From Eroica With Love.
9. What's your favourite kink to read?
While it's not something very compatable with HP, I've got a soft spot for gun kink. Otherwise, I'll take a good dose of orgasm denial, magical bondage and/or biting, scratching hatesex.
10. How do you feel about participating in this year's Snarry Games?
Crazy nervous, but also extremely excited. Go Team Wartime!
Thank you, briarwolf!
