hogwarts gone wild

I've been writing all evening, and it's just about fried my brain. Thusly; a meme, stolen from penknife:

Pick a fictional character from a fandom I know and I'll answer the following questions to the best of my abilities.

1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?

3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?

4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?

5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)

6) Is there anything about the character you would change?

7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)

8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?

9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?

10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?

Yesterday's fannish 5:

Name five minor characters whose lives and histories you'd like to see explored more (in canon or fanfic).

1. Regulus Black
   
2. James Potter
   
3. Neville Longbottom
   
4. Narcissa Malfoy
   
5. Peter Pettigrew

( in which i explore: five one-liners about the characters in question )

( in which i waffle: things i've learned about these characters through writing them )

In conclusion: DH NEEDED MOAR REGULUS. MOAR.

Also, I saw Dropkick Murphys last night. Post of squee to follow.

Lo, I come bearing fandom content.

This is part one of two.

For alittlewhisper, who wanted anything marauders:

( mwpp: excerpts from xylodemon's personal canon )

For penknife, who asked what are you thinking about writing, post-DH?

( deathly hallows: tales from the bunny farm )

For itsbeenvery, who asked Do you think there's even the slightest chance Draco and Ron played together as kids, either in some bigger group, or without their parents knowledge? And then maybe Lucius found out, and told Draco that the Weasleys were not "their people" and so Draco turned mean towards Ron?

( the weasel and ferret before hogwarts )

For taerin, who asked do you think that there will be another book series any time soon that inspires the same levels of devotion and creative output as the Harry Potter series has?

( my thoughts on the next great literary breakthrough )

For ncp, who wanted Neville and Augusta Longbottom: After the War.

( on the subject of family relations )

For sbbo, who wanted Harry Potter does Sex in the City.

( i predict the dreaded het )

Allow me to quote penknife:

So, I want to talk about fannish things in this space again. Badly.

You know what? So do I. Thusly, feel free to force me. Comment here with a fannish topic or question, and I will talk about it. The usual fandoms apply.


Watch this Space!
Coming Soon: Fandom

Archiving my old posts has been... interesting, to say the least. I've been trawling through my early forays into fandom activity, and well. Let's just say I was excitable. I was also unemployed, so I had nothing better to do than post four or five times a day. About nothing.

I just came across a shipping meme I filled out in October 2004, and I am boggling at some of my answers. Just boggling.

( cut for embarassing and somewhat incriminating nostalgia )

The Comfort Meme, gacked from scribbulus_ink.

( Here There Be Fic )

The 10 Unpopular Fandom Opinions Meme, gacked from mizbean.

( memage )

Here follows the HP Pairing Meme, as nicked from someone who is *not* evangela, but I love evangela, so I am going to leave her name at the beginning of this post[1].

ETA: It would seem, upon digging through my friendsview, that I gacked this meme from evieangelique.

*wanders off in search of splinched marbles, because I swear to the gods they have to be here somewhere.*

( the results are in )

Baa.

[1] I am a big, fat, unworthy arse.

The Ship Meme, nicked from toscas_kiss.

( heave-to and hard to starboard )

Nicked from beren_writes

( grab my wand )

( enough about me, what do you think about my icons? )
