I got a lime popsicle five questions from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
pennswoods. Please note though that I am not up to paying the meme forward, so I include the following for informational purposes only:
Leave me a comment with "SRS BZNS - WHERE'S MY POPSICLE" in the subject line. I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better. Update your journal with the answers to the questions. Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.
1. Severus Snape, hawt or not?
You seriously need to ask? This is me we're talkin' about here. But allow snaples, lilyevans_snape, rag-dolly-anne, MARiKaArt, perselus, and Patilda to illustrate my point for me. 'Nuff said.
2. When did you first realize you were a Snapefan?
Define that. In the obsessed sense I am now, not until after DH, but I always thought he was a cool character (I first read SS/PS in 2001, just before the film came out) and somewhere around PoA or so I shifted from identifying with Harry to identifying with Severus.
3. I understand you're bringing your husband to Azkatraz? What does he think of your involvement in the HP fandom?
*shrugs* I think he mostly thinks it's cute. He likes Harry Potter okay himself and is capable of holding basic discussion about it, although he is not anywhere near as overly familiar with it as I am. He's read some of my het stuff which I sometimes feel a little weird about. He has this journal friended although he almost never comments in it (but then he essentially never comments in my other journal either, and why bother when he can just turn his head and talk to me, yanno?).
4. What is your favorite adult beverage?
Probably single-malt Irish whiskey (yes, it does exist, and is getting more common in the US) although cider is not far behind.
5. If you could change one thing about the HP series, what would it be?
JKR could really have used the services of a plot beta. I know that's kind of cheating as that would (hopefully) have resulted in more than one change, but let's call it one aspect. DH especially needs work and while HBP happens to be my favourite book, I can see where people are coming from when they complain about it in ways that seem to presage the problems that crop up in DH.

SRS BZNS - WHERE'S MY POPSICLE?
Date: June 26th, 2009 07:18 pm (UTC)From:I find it so interesting that people became Snape fans after DH, a book that killed the character for so many others (so to speak). There was so much Snape-hype before DH, too, including the whole marketing plan of Borders(?), as if there was going to be lots of Snape action in the book.
I see
I had to put a question mark in the subject line. Incipient OCD, I think.

(if you're still reading [info - insanejournal.com]blurred_lines -- I can't stay away from it).
I couldn't get into it, actually.
