Comment and I'll--

1 - Tell you why I friended you.
2 - Associate you with something. A fandom, a song, a colour, a piece of fruit. SOMETHING.
3 - Tell you something I like about you.
4 - Tell you a memory I have of you.
5 - Associate you with a character/pairing.
6 - Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. (Or else I'll just ask a random question. I reserve that right.)
7 - Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
8 - In return, you must spread this disease in your LJ.

Comment and I will pick 3 things from your Interests list for you to explain a little about.

1. We had a couple of mutual friends, and you seemed interesting.

2. A cigarette holder (purely because of the icon...)

3. I enjoy reading your posts - but I found the ones about putting on Oedipus particularly interesting. And 'Be All My Secrets Remembered' - it's the best long fic about James and Lily's generation I've come across.

4. I'm afraid it's the laptop saga, because sympathetic horror has burned it into my brain ;)

5. Sirius Black.

6. How did you get into revenge tragedy?

7. Either the Pre-Raphaelite one, or the Snape 'Everyone sit down and shut the hell up' one. Probably the latter - I've had days like that!

2. Which is very funny to me as I don't smoke...

3. Thank you so much!! Now if only I could finish the last chapter -- I think the characters have gone on strike due to excessive torture.

6. Oh goodness, it was so long ago I'm not even certain anymore. I've been familiar with (however indirectly) and loved Dumas' Le comte de Monte-Cristo since I was about three years old. Between that and an unhealthy obsession with the Wars of the Roses (c. age 11) and the particularly violent bits of the Italian Renaissance (about the same time) and of course Shakespeare/Marlowe/Webster, it more or less developed alongside my hopeless love for historical fiction. Then, while writing two different theses at least somewhat related to revenge tragedy, I started seeing it everywhere and apparently regard it as my duty to inflict random tropes on the Harry Potter fandom courtesy of above-mentioned fic. ;) And possibly inflict this madness on innocent students this summer.
