Sep. 4th, 2010 12:45 pm16. How have you participated in the fandom over the years?
Shortly before/right as OotP came out, Jake asked me if I wanted to help mod the relaunch of H-C. I was on a Luna high, so I said, "Duh, of course!" or something to that effect, particularly when he added that I got to be Luna. My activity tended to coincide with interesting threads in the library section. Eventually I got canned for, I do believe, not being active enough (which is incredibly funny if you're still a member there and you see how spectacularly active some people are) and possibly for being the last hold out in the regime o' Jake. (Conspiracy theories make all things more interesting. It's true.)
But outside of that, I don't play much in the fandom. I'm lazy and HP brings out the super crazy in a lot of people, so I prefer discussing it amongst my friends when the topic comes up.
17. Your favorite celebs from the movies or fandom
This will surprise no one, but I have none. The actors, they're lovely. The fans, they're crazy and I know nothing beyond that. I need to know nothing beyond that. It is, my dears, that simple.
18. If you could change one thing about canon, what would it be?
You. Do. Not. Kill. A. Weasley. Twin.
That out of my system, I really think the whole Tonks/Remus both dying and leaving Teddy an orphan was just the biggest WTF moment I can think of. That's something that did not sit well with me then and doesn't now. It doesn't... ring true, I guess? So, if you need a semi-logical and less emotional answer, I would go with that.
19. A favorite fanart

Go on. Click. You back? That might not actually count as fanart, but it is my favorite bit of HP-fanmade-anything. Ever.
20. A favorite quote
"To our newcomers," said Dumbledore in a ringing voice, stretching his hands wide and a beaming smile on his lips, "welcome! To our old hands -- welcome back! There is a time for speech-making, and this is not it."
And:
Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain.
I'm pretty sure that catches me up.
( Don't come around here no more... )
