it finally came to that, and i was tagged by [livejournal.com profile] digthewriter, and with such a lovely meme! so here it goes:




  • Favourite character?
    Severus Snape


  • Which house?
    ravenclaw - because wit beyond measure is men's greatest pleasure.


  • Patronus?
    a mother-hippo fierce but friendly, cuddly but also in need of alone time and don't you dare mess with my dears!


  • Favourite class?
    herbology

  • Would you make to the Quidditch team?
    maybe- i would for sure give it a try


  • If you do, which position?
    chaser- i would be in for the speed and the catching and throwing

  • Favourite teacher?
    that would be mcgonagall, snape and lupin because of the vast knowledge they seem to ooze out, and unlike dumbledore seem willing to share if you just ask

  • First or second Dumbledore?
    first- he seems way more nicer back then, more open and approachable if one has not the name harry potter
    because i cant understand english of fandom or something idk... i read that question as dumbledore during the first war or dumbledore during the 2ed war- i never thought about the different actors *sorry*


  • Least favourite character?
    umbridge. i know she is written to be hated and yes in this instance it worked, the second i read/hear/see her i want to smash something. but i always have troubles with ppl abusing their power

  • Most useful spell?
    apparition - i know technically it works without a spell but really apparating to anywhere would just be so cool, i could finally visit all the places and all the friends, would be just awesome and very handy






  1. Have you ever written in an unusual place?
    i'm not sure if public transportation counts because i write there so regularly, so the swimming pool? i do not recommend it, but it worked the one time i did it :D


  2. The word/phrase you know you overuse, but can’t get rid of.
    "really", "subtext" "very"- through i have made loads of progress on the very- front if i look back, it was worse in the beginning


  3. Do you keep notes? Do you have a notebook?
    i have 2 notebooks for on the go, loads of sheets of paper for when nothing is to be found and a notebook like the once children use in school with an A5 (fun fact besides the 2 notebooks for on the go, i use all my notes in landscape format and make one page into two- no matter the size)


  4. What’s the hardest part of a fic to write for you?
    the beginning- i never no where to start, but then at the end i never know where to end either and sometimes the middle sucks too, and i do not know how to fix it- writing is just so hard (sometimes) but also so much fun (sometimes LOL)


  5. Have you ever based something in your fic on your personal experience? What was it?
    i don't think so at least not conscious, maybe some of the wants characters have, but not really...


  6. What’s that one fic you want to write but somehow know you never will?
    i will work myself up to write it eventually the desire to put it down grows to much, like i actually started planning a real DARK fic, but the finishing point is what will be a problem, it's always about finishing stuff


  7. What do you usually do when you procrastinate?
    read other fics, rewatch a movie, relisten to podfic, play with cat, i really have all the vices for when i do not want to write, best of all: cleaning, i always believe it is a must do and it's real life so it is always a good excuse?


  8. What’s the funniest typo you’ve made?
    uhmm.... i make way to many mistakes but the one that stuck to me is that i wrote fairry instead of harry, and no i do not remember what i was thinking and the story itself certainly does not have fairies in it, i never write "and/the" right the first time its usually "adn/teh" - thank you auto-correct!


  9. Do you listen to music when you write?
    sometimes yes, sometimes no, and i listen to all the music with text, without classical, with a beat its all about my personal mood and the mood i have to set up for the fic- for me personally i can tell by the way i write if music was on


  10. Your favorite comment a reader has left on your fic?
    i'm always over the moon when people tell me they felt with the character, or the mood i was trying to produce get across, that makes me so happy, when i manage to capture readers that way and the really feel it, but my favorite comment(s) are on my [livejournal.com profile] hprarefest story, where i managed to get ppl to accept a new pairing, because i was sooo afraid that i did it all wrong and then it still worked for the readers, that is just so cool!




i shall tag [livejournal.com profile] shadowycat; [livejournal.com profile] smallbrownfrog and [livejournal.com profile] themightyflynn if you both want to? have fun ;)

thank you
i just feel like he really only ever cares about harry - and sometimes even hermione but ron? he totally neglects him? and that is just one example what about all the other students?
