The meme so nice, I'm doing it twice!

Apr 28, 2004 23:30

Besides, it was such fun last time, and I learned all kinds of things about the characters I hadn't known before. So, gacked most recently from yahtzee63 (whose answers nearly made the apple I was eating come out my nose):

Ask any of the characters in any of my stories a question, whatever question you want, and they'll answer.

questions, memes, alias, snape, fanfic, d&l, characters, eric weiss is love, writing

To Imogen Crump: What specific thought or incident caused you to first think of Moody as more than just Maud's uncle? ;)

Well, I was really just teasing when I told Maud I fancied her uncle -- the first time, at any rate. Of course I got on famously with him from the beginning, and we bantered back and forth, but it never would have occurred to me to think of him in that way -- any more than Nymphadora Tonks (poor thing, and I thought my name was bad) ever would, I expect. I mean, I'm not much older than she is... but anyway, there I go off-topic. Where were we? Oh, yes. Well, I think it was during the Battle of Hogwarts that it struck me for the first time that it might not just be a joke. I mean, you should have seen him fight, he was really something splendid (though I won't say a bit of distance didn't do wonders for his looks as well), and then later, when I woke up from surgery and found he'd carried me clear across the battlefield to get me to the Healers in time... well, what girl wouldn't be flattered by that? So naturally I proposed to him at once. Though of course, as you know, the silly man thought I was joking -- I can't imagine why ( ... )

*le sigh*

I'm sure I left my list around here somewhere...

So. Thea.

What's your favorite song, and what does it taste like?

rj_anderson May 7 2004, 10:15:57 UTC

That's a hard one, I have to admit. There are a lot of songs I like, but they're so different from each other -- to only choose one would be like trying to decide whether I'd rather eat a bowl of ripe strawberries with fresh whipped cream, or watch a really gorgeous display of the Northern Lights, or have a friend with big, warm hands give me a shoulder massage. (Actually, all of those sound good right now. I wonder where the Doctor is?)

I will tell you one of my favorites, though: "Orpheus" by David Sylvian, from his album Secrets of the Beehive. The music's all blue and golden, like sunlight on a warm summer day, and Sylvian's voice is pure dark chocolate poured over velvet. (Yes, I know I used that description for the Doctor's voice once as well. But it is true, of both of them.)

Thea, what do you think of Mulder?

rj_anderson May 7 2004, 10:22:39 UTC

You want the rest of the story, I can tell. But you'll have to ask Ms. Scully for that, I'm afraid, and she isn't talking at the moment... (No, Alistair, you may not disturb her. Ms. Scully has other things to worry about right now.)

Anyway, the short and non-narrative answer is that I liked him. He was fascinated by me, but not in an intrusive way: his curiosity was as inoffensive as a child's, and it was easy to talk to him. I was sorry that we didn't get the chance to know each other better.

One highly impertinent question for Margot, inspired by a conversation with pharnabazus:

What are the terms of your will?

And one other question. When you set out to kill Albion, what precisely was going through your mind? Because it seems like an awfully emotional and indulgent thing to do, and I have it on good authority that you like to avoid that sort of thing. Also, it would have destroyed any chance of reconciliation with your family. So I'd very much like to know what you were thinking. If you don't mind.

And one for Lucinda, strangely avoid of gloom, doom or any mention of Snape's firstborn. (That's quite unprecedented, which is why I thought I'd mention it...)

How did you and your peers adapt to the idea that Maud had married Snape? Did the awkwardness pass?

rj_anderson May 7 2004, 11:05:33 UTC

My first inclination was to tell you that I had no will, seeing as the disposition of my belongings is none of your business. However, since my author has already promised that I will answer, I suppose it would be pointlessly rude of me to contradict her.

At present, my will states that should I die untimely, my brother Malcolm inherits the majority of my estate. A few remaining items of a special nature will be disposed of by Draco Malfoy on my behalf.

As for Albion, I had already told him that I would kill him if he came after me, and he was fool enough to disregard the warning. I had nothing to lose by way of family ties: I knew when I chose this path that once my intentions were known there would be no chance of reconciliation with any of my family, not even my father.

Even so, though killing Albion would doubtless have given me a certain amount of satisfaction, I also knew that Malcolm would be sure to intervene. In the end I knew that Albion understood, without any doubt, that I would have killed him, and that was enough ( ... )
