Besides the Harry Potter fandom -- do you write for any other fandoms currently?
I wrote two drabbles for "The Princess Bride" last night. I do a Star Trek RP which requires quite a bit of writing...
What ships do you like in other fanverses?
LoTR: Aragorn/Eowyn/Faramir Troy: Hector/anyone PotC: Jack/anyone BtVS: Spike/Dawn; Xander/Willow; Oz/Willow; Faith/anyone; Darla/Drusilla ST: J/C; J/7 TPM: DM/anyone X-Men: Rogue/Gambit OTP XMM: Rogue/Wolverine Princess Bride: Westley/Inigo Endless: any of the Endless/anyone in any fandom
I know there are more. These are just what popped into my head.
Or perhaps you left another fandom to come to Harry Potter?
I was into the Buffyverse heavily before discovering HP fandom. Never wrote for it though...
Do you consider some of the fandoms to be flash in the pans?
Definitely. Quite a few fandoms die out very quickly, though most are resurrected later in a resurgence created by a rerelease in the media.
And lastly, how long do you foresee the Harry Potter fandom lasting?
I think HP fandom will be very long lasting. We've got two novels left to go plus some, and there are films, spinoffs, merchandise... Not to mention, what I'm seeing as a young adult, people ten years younger are seeing as a preteen. This will probably be their first fandom, and they'll always have a soft spot toward it.
What are your thoughts on the topic?
I think it's very possible to be a multifan. I have a broad spectrum of interests, and while I really only write HP in any depth, I think having more than one fandom is not a bad thing. Limiting yourself to a single fandom can narrow your ability to think outside the box. Exploring other fandoms often opens up new possibilities, and that enriches all the fandoms you're involved in.
