100 things... Answers to the 26-question meme

[herumtreiber]

Pick a number and I'll answer the question.
1 - Your current OTP
2 - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind
3 - A pairing you have never liked and probably never will
............

I asked myself the questions, and below are the multilingual answers:

1 - Your current OTP? Jakeward and Drarry
2 - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind? It's hard to change my mind so I don't think this applies.
3 - A pairing you have never liked and probably never will? This is easy: Bella/Edward.
4 - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t? Phoebe/Cole on Charmed. I wrote them but it was hard. Fortunately I won't ever touch that fandom again – not even with a ten-foot pole - so all's well.  
5 - Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what?  I think this question is actually demeaning, in the sense that hilarious is not stupid. It's much harder to pull humor than drama. I can easily write about thundering skies opening up and drenching down star-crossed lovers who moan and groan, but humor's hard. That said, I've written the Ferret saga for HP and The Lawsuit for Jakeward.
6 - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom? About 7 years in the HP fandom

7 - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it? I'd say it was Harry/Draco
8 - Do you prefer characters from real action series or anime series? Real action, I don't like anime.
9 - Has the internet caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why? Not really.
10 - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr. Sicherlich keine; ich gehe drüber nur um Jacob zu gucken. Ich ergötze mich an seinem schönen Gesicht.
11 - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom? La mayoría son muy agradables y es un placer compartir este espacio. Como todo en la vida, también hay gente desagradable que piensa que el autor escribe solo para ell@s.
12 - Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for? I'd ask Vorabiza to write the sequel to Secrets.
13 - Your favorite fanart or fanartist? wincest_drarry. I love her drawings

14 - Your favorite fanfiction or fanauthor? Il y a beacoup d'auteurs; je ne veux pas choisir.
15 - Choose a song at random, which OTP does it remind you of? Das Lied heisst 'Victim of love' von dem Rockband Eagles. Es erinnert mich daran, was das Miststück Bella mit Jacob getan hat. Glücklicherweise, Edward springt seinem Werwolf bei und es gibt ein gutes Ende.
16 - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).  Walter Bishop from Fringe has connected two universes. Unbeknowst to him, in the Amber verse resides Harry Potter's Hogwarts; in the other universe, Jacob and Edward fight the Volturi in Washington State. The universes having been connected, all that stands between destruction and salvation is the conjoined magic of HP and Twilight. (Of course, Bella is eaten by a hybrid early on and the hybrid dies of indigestion)

17 - A ship you’ve abandoned and why?  J'écrit une fic sur Drago/Blaise, mais je trouve Drarry plus mystérieux et séduisante.
18 - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships? I've read few Draco/Blaise fics. They are shipped but not very often.

19 - Show us an example of your personal headcanon. HP After the War, Draco uses what Rowling gave him: smarts, money and connections, to rebuild his life. He's wiser and wearier and ends up living a happy life with whomever he chooses.
Twilight. Our ancestors knew wolves, and left us legends all over the world. For me, the imprint doesn't exist: The wolf's brain is way more developed than a duck's, and mating for life isn't reason enough to invent a silly plot device. So Jacob runs away. Meanwhile Bella has her child and lives her life and doesn't find the happiness she expected. Jacob returns after 5 years, having matured a lot. Bella – and Edward – notice how desirable he is.  Jacob just rubs his hands and smirks gleefully, thinking of the sweet revenge he'll enjoy. You see, Bella is about to find out what our ancestors tried to tell us about wolves.
20 - Do you remember what your first fanwork was? The Drarry short story 'Not your usual ending' which I later made into the first chapter of 'Unusual ending.'
21 - Self-rec: What's your favorite fanwork you've created? The icon on this post, LOL. Nope, they are all my favorites, but I have to say 'Accompanied sonata' and 'The Privy Councilors' are special to me.
22 - Are you one of those fans who can’t watch anything without shipping? Actually, it's very hard for me to ship someone. Lots of conditions have to be met.
23 - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms. Jacob Black, Draco Malfoy, Cole Turner (Charmed), Olivia Dunham (Fringe), Eames (Inception)
24 - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms? Jakeward, Drarry and Arthur/Eames
25 - A fandom you’re in but have no ships from. Matrix. I liked it but didn't ship anyone particularly.
26 - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! A story has to impinge on the real world across many levels – history, politics, whatever. It has to adhere to certain parts of canon and fanon, and it is governed by controlled passion. In my case, it is a desire to set things right: to ship someone, I have to care about them and rage at the way the authors treated them. This is a source of inspiration which can turn dark or light. I won't ever write for The Miserables, for example, because that book is perfect. I write for flawed universes because we live in such a world.

12 - Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for? I'd ask Vorabiza to write the sequel to Secrets.

omg yes!!!

[herumtreiber.livejournal.com]

I know the story ended, but Draco was facing trouble with the Wizarding World. It would be lovely to find out more!

[vanashta.livejournal.com]

Interesting answers(took me a while to understand the spanish one's though,didn't catch it all ofcourse!)

3-For me there are many pairings that I never liked and never will,B/E being one of them,but any 'Het' pairing really!And I'm no fan of Harry/Ron either,but I do read Harry/Lucius,Harry/Severus sometimes if I cant find anything H/D!
Draco with anyone else however is a 'no go' for me!(I just can't)

And thanks for reminding me of that Eagles song,I used to love it,and as it turns out I still do!!!

'A room full of noise,and dangerous boys,still makes you thirsty and hot!' ;)))

Here's the translation: Most people are quite agreeable and it's a pleasure to share this space. But, like everything in life, there are disagreeable ones who think that the author writes exclusively for them. I meant when they like the story and insists it should be exactly like they want. Now most stories I write don't go the way I even want them!! if they did, you know what would happen to B Swan!!!

Harry/Severus can be hot! I don't like H/L too much though, prefer him with the younger Malfoy.

With me is the other way around. I can picture Draco with several people.

It sounds like a good song for GE, don't you think?
'I heard about you and that man.'

PS I'm working on an icon whose background you'll bound to recognise :DD

[vanashta.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!!

Harry /Luc is mostly non-con and I got a bit tired of that myself,I wanted to see the other side of Lucius!
I found that in a lovely romantic oneshot about a tropical island,H/L and a plotting Draco!

Now that you mention it,yeah it could have been theirs!

Really?,you have made a lot of nice one's already lately!

Ehm,dare I ask you if you would be willing to make an icon for me,sometime?*Please!*

[herumtreiber.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

I also read one about a tropical island, but it was a threesome L/H/D.

It has that certain rhythm that would go well with GE. Hotel California was a great album!

I like making icons :) Sure I would, I just hope the photos stay put, you know!! :DDDDD

[vanashta.livejournal.com]

Happen to have a link to that one?

You are right and yes it was!


I know:)I like making them too,but I can't put the boys together,so I don't have any nice Jakeward icons , that's what made me ask you ,cause I know you can!
But anything would be nice really (though I'd love a nice autumn theme,or ocean(if that's not to much to ask:)

[herumtreiber.livejournal.com]

Here's the link: Destination unknown by knightmare
Summary: After attempting suicide, Harry is rescued by Draco and Lucius.

I have to warn you, though. Not about the beginning, but there's a twist near the end, a bit dark. Still a great story though!

Right or wrong, what's done is done / It's only moments that we borrow

A Jakeward at the beach is it then! :) just give me a few days :)))

[vanashta.livejournal.com]

You'll make one?!?!
Great,you're amazing!!!!!!

[herumtreiber.livejournal.com]

Edward's hair and the beach are turning out awesome! No wonder Jake is smiling :)))

[jeri-1116.livejournal.com]

I always get confused by these. Do you want other's to participate? Sorry somethings things have to be explained to me slowly. Only cause I have to know what exactly is going on.

Plus this looks like fun. Oh and as much as I love Jakeward, and believe me I do. My One true original pairing, is the couple in my icon.

[herumtreiber.livejournal.com]

Sure, you can comment or ask questions about my answers. I'm afraid I went overboard :)

I can see why you like them! They look lovely together!

3 - A pairing you have never liked and probably never will? This is easy: Bella/Edward.

I have never read the Twilight books and probably never will. I read an excerpt one time and was turned off. The pairing I have never liked and never will is Harry/Ginny. It just doesn't make sense to me. :)
I'm glad you did this meme. It's interesting. You gave some thought provoking answers--especially the last question.

[herumtreiber.livejournal.com]

It might have been better if Harry met someone after Hogwarts and married them. The arrangement of those pairs was just too cute and artificial.

Thanks! The desire to make things better for a character I sympathize with is too tempting :)
