My answers to the questions I received from woldy:
1) What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow your favourite beverage?
I'm not really a big beverage person. I don't drink alcohol, tea or coffee. I prefer just water or fruit juices (it sounds terrible stated like that, but that's just me). I only have room for one addiction in my life - harry potter porn
2) If you could go anywhere in the world for a holiday, where would it be?
China. Ever since I was very small, I've just been fascinated with the country. I've taught myself Chinese and all that jazz, I'm really serious about it; so yeah, first opportunity I get, I'm there. I find it very hard to explain what it is exactly, but it just makes me feel comfortable, in a very strange way. I feel like I must have been Asian in a past life or something.
3) What pairing would you love to see more of in fandom?
That's hard, because there are just too many femslash pairings that don't get enough love. I'd like to see more Cho/Hermione, because I've seen that written a couple of times very well, (cf Glue). Other unexplored worlds of promise include Hermione/Umbridge and Hermione/Rita. As for out of Harry Potter fandom, there's one pairing which I feel is just pitifully under-represented, and that's Sayuri/Hatsumomo from Memoirs of a Geisha. The problem is, MoaG doesn't really have a fandom. But sigh that pairing has so much potential.
4) In your head, is Pansy's hair blonde, black, or some other colour entirely?
I think it's blonde, really. I see her very much as a female Draco. But, that said, she's often black haired if it fits better with the pairing. For example, if she's with Hermione, it's often better black, and if she's with Draco then it's almost certainly black. My imagination is so fickle.
5) Do you enjoy riding a bicycle?
Funnily enough, these last few months I've got really back into cycling. I cycle every day at the moment, which is amazing because I pretty much hate sport and exercise. But cycling round the countryside I'm lucky enough to live by, hearing the birds, and feeling the wind in my hair and the frame beneath me, can be so relaxing and joyful. And it's also a nice cheap, environmentally-friendly method of transport and independance. So, yes. I do enjoying riding a bicycle.
