heh ^^ I'll try to surprise you.

1. The first character I fell in love with: Sirius, the first time I read the books.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: they are many. Narcissa, I guess.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t: Hermione.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: Gilderoy? Mundungus?
5. The character I would shag anytime: Sirius ^_^
6. The character I'd want to be like: I'd like to have Percy's sense of organisation, sometimes ^^
7. The character I'd slap: James. I kind of dislike him. And Dumbledore. (sorry, I know you like him ^^)
8. A pairing that I love: Snape/Remus
9. A pairing that I despise: Sirius/Remus
10. Favorite character: Sirius
11. What are my five favorite things about the fandom. It's well organized. It's always lively and exciting. there's something for everyone's taste. It's so wanky, but in a rather cheerful and fun way. It's actually relatively well behaved compared to other fandom.
12. What are my five least favorite things about the fandom. It's so wanky, sometimes in an annoying way. You can never follow or participate to everything. Lots of silly fanon. Too many BNF-ing sometimes. Sometimes it's too focused on shipping.
13. Who are my five favorite characters. Sirius, Snape, Remus, Narcissa, Bellatrix.
14. Who are my five least favorite characters. Dumbledore, James, Lily, Hermione, err... dunno for the last one.
15. What are my five favorite pairings. Snape/Remus, Snape/Sirius, Sirius/Regulus, Lucius/Narcissa, Bellatrix/Andromeda
16. What are my five least favorite pairings. Sirius/Remus, Snape/Lily, Draco/Ginny, Draco/Hermione, Luna/Neville.
17. Which character are you most like. A mix of Luna and Snape, with some Sirius thrown in ^^
18. What is my deep, dark fandom secret. Hmm. I didn't like Snape until OotP. I can't remember what caused the shift, but I think it might have been watching the movie. I'll deny this if anyone ask.

Can I ask why don't you like Sirius/Remus and Draco/Ginny? Do you have reasons or, well you just don't like them?

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

With Sirius/Remus it's mostly the fault of fandom. I could see myself liking it (I sometimes do, when well written by writers I like), but the fanon for this pairing is that of a One True Love which I find ridiculous. I also often dislike the fanon characterization of them. And... I got annoyed by the people who were writing it as if it was canon, often as a background pairing without any warning.
The thing is, I cannot see Sirius being in love with Remus. My fanon!Sirius is in love with James for most of his teenagehood, and after Azkaban he's too damaged to have a real romantic relationship... even there, probably not with Remus. He loves Remus like a brother, but Remus has a very private personnality, he's very much in control and not showing his feelings and that's something Sirius doesn't understand and even distrusts (see thinking Remus was a traitor during the war). I usually see Remus having a crush on Sirius (who didn't?) at school but he gets over it quickly enough. So friends with benefits, yes. One true love, nah.

With Draco/Ginny, I've got a prejudices against this pairing, I see it as the kind of pairing which destroy both the character's personnality by trying to be redemptive through lurve or something like this. I may be totally wrong and actually the pairing could rock ^_^ I admit I never read it.

[solesakuma]

Yeah, I get what you say.

I actually read 'Harry/Ginny' and that's why I thought I had asked. O_O
Hm, I think Draco/Ginny could be fun if written well, but I doubt they do.

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

I love Gilderoy too!

And hey, I might love Dumbledore but he obviously deserves to be slapped. XD

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

some people do ^^ you gotta admit, he's not the most popular kid in fandom there.


Yay for Dumbledore slapping then XD
