Interviewing LariLee
The Quibbler Interview
August 28, 2006
Hi, can I ask a few questions, LariLee?
Sure Luna, just kick a few of the bunnies out of the way and have a seat.
Why are you doing a webpage?
That's a wonderful question. I really wish I had a good answer for you besides the fact that JackieJLH is doing one. It also seems like a good idea to store all of my writings in one place. That would include the ones that should never be published anywhere.
Okay, why bunnies?
Uh... They're plot bunnies. You know how you get a plot bunny telling you a story? Well, it'll start out where the plot bunny hops up with an idea, usually just a scene or two. If he is healthy and thrives, a Muse will show up with alcohol and drugs and help him flesh out the story. Then they sit down and force me to write. Occasionally, a plot bunny will show up wearing leather and carrying a whip and won't even bother to wait for the Muse.
Really? How intersting.
You're starting to frighten me almost as much as the leather-wearing bunnies.
Have you ever had a cow show up wearing rabbit fur?
No, it's just a joke. It's not serious.
Oh, okay. Not like Flittering Willobees then.
Uh, no... Luna, can I get you something to drink? Some Sobering Potion perhaps?
I've heard you had ties to a Potions master.
No, I untied him this morning. Wait, that's not exactly what you meant, was it? Do you know if insanity is contagious?
I told you those Flittering Willobees are dangerous. They attach themselves to your fingernails and eventually will crawl their way to your brain.
I have one vanity, just one. It would be fingernails, wouldn't it? Why couldn't it be bony parts? I'd be safe forever.
Oh, Hermione gave me a list of questions and I still have part of them. The Paper Skirvish must have attacked me on the way over.
I'd say something did.
What is the purpose of your website? Did we covered that already? Hermione is slipping. Let's see, what else has she asked... I can probably remember them. Why a website?
Okay, let me just explain that I write Harry Potter fan fiction with a heavy emphasis on Severus Snape. I'm putting everything in one place --
Even though you archive everywhere?
Yes, and the sites I support will still be host to my stories (if they allow that). But this way, I can put up things that archives may not accept.
Okay, let's see... what's your favorite sexual position? And it's signed 'Gred and Forge'... strange.
I'm sorry, Luna, but that's confidential. I'll tell you that I'm early 40s, female and currently disabled. I am owned by a large cat and a small dog. I have a certain fascination with a Potions master. I enjoy reading, cooking, gardening and have a strange, eclectic taste in movies, books and music. I'm an ex-journalism major with a strong background in group health insurance claims. I love to travel. With any luck, I will be at Phoenix Rising in New Orleans May 2007 and Prophecy in Toronto August 2007. All other information is on a 'need to know' basis.
Has the Pottsylvania Feathered Influenza changed your travel plans any?
Yes, I am avoiding birds. I think it's about time we call it a day.
What a wonderful idea? What shall we call 'A Day'?
Luna, you need to leave now. I'm getting a horrible headache.
That certainly the first to sign of an infestation of Flittering Willobees. You should rest and eat lots of chocolate.
You know, Luna, that's the most sensible thing you have ever said.
I'm so sorry! Goodbye, LariLee!
Bye, Luna! Be careful.
