OMG, Riika, look! :D

Man, okay, Subject Line That Makes You Sit Up And Take Notice: "Goblin Slash". Thanks, Amy! :D

Aaaand more interview questions, this time from slippery_fish:

1. You have to retell one myths/legend/fairy tale (doesn't matter which kind) in a fanfiction, which myths do you choose, which fandom and why?

I've actually done this sort of thing before, mostly in fandoms I refuse to acknowledge anymore. Spur of the moment, I'd like to see what I can do with Oedipus and Harry Potter. Or HP and any myth centered around the inevitability of Fate.

2. One thing you would never tell your family?

... I don't think there is anything I'd not tell my family, to be honest. I've told them about everything so far, though not necessarily in detail. I may put off telling them certain things, but I do tell them in the end.

3. Did you ever leave a fandom because the flame wars or fandom members annoyed you too much?

Not really as a concious decision, but yes, it's happened. Metallica fandom, for one, lost its attraction to me because of the list wars and crap.

4. Do you still take part in RPF discussions or did you stop caring?

I no longer take part in the discussions because I didn't stop caring, which is why it drives me nuts when people cannot come up with new arguments against RPF, which is why I now avoid RPF discussions like the plague. Mostly.

5. The worst thing someone could do in fandom is?

Taking fannish/online flame wars and arguments into the "real" world. LIke outing someone to their boss as a HP slasher and thus losing that person their job. There's a line, and that line is drawn where the consequences of actions reach into RL.

Yes, this is beyond dishonorable IMO.

BTW, hi. I know you from F_W.

More questions regarding 4) because I think it's really interesting how different RPF writers' perspective on/feelings towards RPF are.

4) And what kind of RPF discussions still pull you into them? When you see a new argument? Or when you see something extremely annoying?

Could you think of an arguemt against RPF that could make you change your opinion? An have you ever felt so uncomfortable with RPF that you considered quitting? Like the slash writers who find God and quit slash...
