1. Do you love/hate/don’t feel strongly about this character?
I loooove Javert -- I find him endlessly fascinating, complicated, and also frustrating.
2. What’s your favorite trait of this character?
His compulsive honesty, which also leads to him having practically no brain-mouth filter. Part of why writing sex scenes involving him is so much fun.
3. What’s your favorite moment/event involving this character?
Do I have to pick just one? Hmmm... If we're only going with moviecanon (to keep it simple), I guess the scene at the barricades, when Valjean sets him free rather than killing him and Javert is all ?!?
4. If you could have one power/attribute/etc. of this character, what would it be?
His self-discipline.
5. Have you ever pictured this character naked?
Given how at least 90 % of the Les Mis fic I've written so far involves Javert getting naked at some point, I daresay I have.
6. When did you fall in love/hate with this character? I you don’t have any strong feelings toward them, why not?Apart from a brief period in
( ... )
I remember reading the Brick when I was 15 or 16, and having no great sympathy for Javert (my, how things change). I am very disappointed that I cannot track down the project I did for school based on the book, as I recall it may or may not have featured Javert as a penguin. I would love to have more insight into how I perceived him when I was younger. I'm sure his dogged obsession at least intrigued me. He is definitely gay in my headcanon as well, which is the fuel for much of his unwavering self-discipline, repression (oh, how I love repressed characters!), and ultimately his suicide. I mean, how else do you explain the level and nature of his fixation on Valjean?
<3 I always write Lionel and Bertie both as completely bisexual -- no, that's not right, they're both completely devoted to their wives and to each other and no one else. Dually monogamous? *g*
1. Do you love/hate/don’t feel strongly about this character?
I don't really feel strongly about Slughorn, to be honest...
2. What’s your favorite trait of this character?
The fact that he's a Slytherin who's clearly self-absorbed and cunning, and yet not evil.
3. What’s your favorite moment/event involving this character?
When he stays to fight with the other teachers during the battle of Hogwarts, rather than running/joining Voldemort/being stereotypically Slytherin.
4. If you could have one power/attribute/etc. of this character, what would it be?
His flair for -- and enjoyment of -- networking, probably.
5. Have you ever pictured this character naked?
Well, if I have, it's surely thanks to your stories, missy! (I always visualise to some degree when reading fic, though Slughorn doesn't get me hot on his own.)
6. When did you fall in love/hate with this character? I you don’t have any strong feelings toward them, why not?Hmm. Mostly I don't have strong feelings about any of the characters who were introduced during HBP
( ... )
He! Thanks for your thoughts about dear Sluggie. Hyacinth, eh? Ok, here goes:
1. Do you love/hate/don’t feel strongly about this character?
I love her - at least 50% in a love-to-hate her sort of way - if you see what I mean! I think she is a character who invites a strong reaction from most people who know the series; quite a tour de force.
2. What’s your favorite trait of this character?
Mmmm... tricky. I suppose from an entertainment point of view, her utter snobbishness wins out; it always puts her and others into amusing situations.
3. What’s your favorite moment/event involving this character?
I rather liked the moment she mistook a Lord of the Manor as staff, while she was hiding in the garden of his stately home.
4. If you could have one power/attribute/etc. of this character, what would it be?
I think I admire her utter confidence in her own opinions and abilities. She is often not actually right, of course... but that level of self-belief would get one a long way!
5. Have you ever pictured this character naked?Ha! I
( ... )
1. Do you love/hate/don’t feel strongly about this character?
SO MUCH LOVE. <3
2. What’s your favorite trait of this character?
His inherent goodness that even 19 years in Toulon couldn't quite stamp out -- though I'd be lying if I said I don't also appreciate his badassery.
3. What’s your favorite moment/event involving this character?
As with Javert, I have trouble choosing just one. But for sheer heartbreak, the scene in the book where he wakes from his stupor and realises he's robbed Petit-Gervais and is devastated... OH GOD MY HEART.
4. If you could have one power/attribute/etc. of this character, what would it be?
I would love to say his neverending kindness, but I... kind of find myself wanting to be able to scale walls/have all the other ex-convict badass skills. Not that I need them, but it would be cool.
5. Have you ever pictured this character naked?
Hahahaha. Yeeeees.
6. When did you fall in love/hate with this character? I you don’t have any strong feelings toward them, why not?As I said above in the Javert
( ... )
Javertsexual is a wonderful term, and pretty much how I see Valjean. I love your insights about Valjean and his relationship with Cosette and flaws. Although V. is not the kind of character I'm normally drawn to (Javert is much more so), he still fascinates me in the context of his (potental and actual) relationship to Javert.
I love both Valjean and Javert a lot, together and separately -- I thought this fandom would be a passing fancy for me, but obviously not. *laughs* The fact that I'm also very much into several of the other characters, as well as the story in general, only adds to my ongoing obsession.

1. Do you love/hate/don’t feel strongly about this character?
I don't feel strongly about Lockhart, to be honest -- I find him very entertaining, but I'm not emotionally invested in him either way.
2. What’s your favorite trait of this character?
His very entertaining selfishness/outrageous egocentrism.
3. What’s your favorite moment/event involving this character?
When he decorates the Great Hall in honour of Valentine's Day, probably. *sniggers*
4. If you could have one power/attribute/etc. of this character, what would it be?
His fabulous hair.
5. Have you ever pictured this character naked?
I think I did when reading one of purplefluffycat's smutfics, heh.
6. When did you fall in love/hate with this character? I you don’t have any strong feelings toward them, why not?
Well, he's too ridiculous for me to hate and too one-dimensional for me to love -- but I do like reading fics about him.
7. Who’s your OTP for this character?
Lockhart/himself -- because, let's be honest, he's the only one he'd find good

I pretty much fell in love with him when I first watched the movie. I'm a sucker for kind people with a sense of humour, what can I say?
7. Who’s your OTP for this character?
Well, your fics sold me on Lionel/Bertie, though I also like his canon relationship with Myrtle. Lionel/happiness, I suppose!

Hahaha, I think I remember that episode! That's the one where she haughtily addresses him as "my good man", right?
Maybe its time for more KUA fic :-)
*flails excitedly* Yes, please!!!
