HARRY POTTER STUFF
What's your favourite HP book? PoA and HBP are pretty much a tie at this point.
Who is your favourite character? To think about, Snape. That I enjoy the most when reading the books, the Weasley twins: "Give her hell, Peeves!"
Least favourite character? Least favorite because I think the character is well written but vile, or least favorite because I wish Rowling had omitted the character altogether? If the former, that honor goes to Umbridge (a truly fantastic villain). If the latter, Gwarp. I really can't stand reading about him.
Ships? In the books, I'm pleased with the "off-screen" pairing of Lupin and Tonks, though I would have been equally pleased if there'd been confirmation of RL/SB. And I have enjoyed most of Rowling's pairings, though there were some choices Rowling made in HPB I really wish she hadn't (not how she paired, but how the characters behaved...) In fanfic, I only read SS/HG.
House affiliation? The first time I took an online quiz, I got Squib. I wasn't surprised.
If you could ask JK one question, it would be: What did Dumbledore really see in the Mirror of Erised? (Socks? Was it really socks?!?! Maybe she's even been asked this before...)
The first HP quote you remember right now: "Kill the spare."
What do you do in the fandom? I read the fic and ogle the pretty pictures. I'm quite useless, really, other than offering encouragement now and again.
OTHER FANDOMS
Other fandoms: I was once involved with Buffy fandom. And by involved, I mean I typed on community boards and read some fan fic.
Favourite characters:
I loved the lot of them. Really I did. Big fat love for Buffy and Giles, I guess.
Ships:
I was quite fond of Willow/Oz and Xander/Anya. Wasn't much of a shipper; just wanted the relationships to be well written.
Fandom interests: I loved the intellectual discussions about the show. Mythology! Metaphors! Blah, blah, blah!
GENERAL
What do you want to add to your flist? Anyone interested in discussing HP stuff, I guess. SS/HG writers and artists who share their work on LJ.
What are your journaling habits? On this journal, mostly just Potter fic gum flapping. I might post some lit or art recs occasionally.
Anything else? or, Why should people friend you? No reason. Do, if you feel like it. Don't, if you, well, don't.
