INTERVIEW # 12
Original poster: snarrymod
Your Name: Tiranog
Your Team: Team Romance
1. What made you decide to agree to compete in these games?
I'd just gotten over my disgust with HBP and was finally able to write/read HP again. This seemed like a fun way to get my feet wet, as it were.
2. Why did you choose the Romance Team?
I chose Team Romance because I'm a total sap for well told love stories, especially between two people who really shouldn't make sense, but somehow do.
3. Have you always been interested in the Severus Snape/Harry Potter dynamic?
They are my favorite pairing in HP. There's just so much you can do with these guys.
4. What is more challenging to you – working WITH strict canon or working AROUND strict canon?
I don't think we have a coherent canon anymore, let alone a strict one. My respect for the source material has dwindled from low to non-existent, so I usually just pay attention to the parts of the books that kind of make sense and ignore the 99% rubbish that doesn't.
5. What motivates you?
A good plot idea. A strong feeling. Hope. Sometimes a mood inspiring song.
6. Do you have plans for (or are you already writing) original fiction?
I've worked on some original fic, but I always find fanfic more satisfying. Both my roommates are professional writers. One is still actively producing and I see the crap she has to go through, how the publishers don't really give a damn about the content of the book, just its marketability. Fanfic is so much more satisfying to write, because when you're done, the story is exactly what you wanted it to be and not some eviscerated remnant of your original idea.
7. What three things are necessary for you to enjoy a story you are reading?
I have to believe the people are real. If the writer has her characters behaving irrationally or completely unlike any real human being would, I can't read it. Strong emotion is also a must. An intense relationship is also a requirement. I can forgive misspelling and incorrect grammar, but I can't stand unreal characters.
8. What are your Top 5 favourite fanfiction stories?
In HP? Telanu's Tea Series. Auctra Sinistra's Pariah. Invisible to See by Pandarus. A Thousand Beautiful Things by Geoviki. The Measure of Our Torment by Amorette. And just because I'm horrible at math, The Medean Curse by Lydia Lovelace.
9. Do you have a story (any fandom) you’ve done that you are most proud of? Would you link it here for us?
They're all my babies, but a Starsky & Hutch slash story I did was a particular favorite of mine: Remnants
10. Are you excited about the Games?
Very much so. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
Thank you, and good luck!
No, thank you guys for running this. It was a great idea. Hugs to all.
Thank you, tiranog!
Mod says: P.S. You guys are so mean! *pouts*
Cheers!
