The closer it gets to OoP time, the more anxious and worried I am. tarimanveri is saying, 'please don't let [the character who dies] be X', and now I'm afraid of who X is that she's heard about (don't tell me, I'm better off not knowing ( Read more... )

I'm operating on the Obi-Wan/Campbell philosophy and saying it's going to be Dumbledore. (I don't know, I have no idea, I've read no spoilers...I've been saying that for years.) *shrug*

Go ahead, interview me. Give me something else to think about....

It's funny, because I've been working on this fic where Dumbledore's been killed... Everyone else is angsting madly, I still haven't figured out who's going to be the new head of Gryffindor if McGonagall moves up... so I very much hope it's not Dumbledore. Though from a writer's perspective he would be a good choice- I think a lot of us would be touched by his death.

Anyway. Questions. I'm starting to think I'm not good at these, but it gives me something to think about, to. So...

1. Your livejournal bio says you consider yourself an outsider. What do you mean by that?

2. What would be your dream job?

3. What are you afraid of?

4. You're a pagan. Tell me something about what that means for you.

5. How do you come up with ideas for things like icons and fics?

Yes, I know it's bad form to ask the "where do your ideas come from" question, but I was running out of other ideas. Sorry. Hope these aren't too strange. :)

It's more than a good idea, it's *necessary*. (I'm a Joseph Campbell fanatic, so bear with me.) In order for the Hero to come into his full potential, the Mentor has to leave the stage. Take, for example: Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original Star Wars; Merlin in the Arthurian legend; Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The Hero's big finish has to be done alone and this means the Mentor either has to die or hie himself off somewhere a fecking long way away. I don't see Dumbledore walking out on this one, so...

*gets started on interview questions*

Please question me *G* I'm bored out of my skull...

Besides, everyone likes to talk about themselves.

Okay. :) These might be a bit odd (yes, I keep saying that, I know) but since I don't know you that well... maybe this will help.

Question #1 is me indulging my obsession, of course. :)

1. What do you like about Snape/McGonagall?

2. What do you think is your best personality trait?

3. Have you ever been arrested? If not, could you ever see this happening? ;)

4. Aside from children and pets, of course, is there one thing you would try to save if your house caught fire?

5. Will you let your kids read the new Harry Potter book if they want to?

Have fun. :)

Now you're going to make me cry... I know I've said logically I don't think it can be Snape, but that's my greatest fear. I am not emotionally prepaired for his death yet.

Yes, I know he's a fictional character. So? ;)

Otherwise...I'm afraid it'll be Sirius, or Remus Lupin... Hagrid is another potential death mark, I suppose, though I have to honestly say his dying would bother me less than some of the others.

Does that help, or does it scare you more? Sorry- didn't mean to freak anyone out, honest.

Yeah, Dumbledore in my fic went out in a blaze of glory, saved most of the rest of the Hogwarts gang... It is interesting having him gone, because he's my default for people to go to when they have problems, or they're scared, or whatever. Not just the kids, either- my Minerva leans on him a lot, and he was almost the only person who didn't think Severus was worthless... Now it's hard. And that fic is a lot darker than I thought it would be because of that ( ... )

My greatest fear is that it'll be Snape. I doubt it'll be Hermione. I wish (pipe dream) that it were a certain red-haired Gryffindor who's always paired with her... *grumbles*

You want it to be Ron?

And I thought I was strange. I think I want it to be the Dursleys. They're boring.
