I should get an award for latest replies >__>
1. Cassius is an interesting character, how did you come up with him?
Honestly, I can't even remember but I will let you in on a little secret: I write a lot of my story as it comes to me. I always had a central plot but now that I think of it, my original story was SO simple compared to the complicated web I've ended up writing. Originally Cassius was just supposed to be the 'other guy' but then I ended up adding Natalie into the mix and things got very complicated from there on. I do remember that I wanted to name him Cyrus but it seemed like a really 'weak' name for such a powerful character so I ended up looking through a bunch of Roman names before picking Cassius.
2. Why do you like writing Draco/Hermione romance?
I really like the love/hate relationship that goes on there or at least, the fact that they don't like each other at the beginning but at the end of book seven, there's this mutual respect that you see between Draco and the trio. Dramione is a little more complicated. When I write Ron/Hermione or Harry/Ginny or even Harry/Hermione, I feel like I'm forcing a conflict into the story and I make it really plot driven but for dramione, it's purely character driven. And in Lady Malfoy, I've got this thick plot going on but the conflict between Draco/Hermione remains character based and that makes it really fun to write. The getting together is the interesting part of dramione and I'd like to think that I try my best to make it as un-cheesy as possible but I guess you guys are the better judge of that
3. Do you think Hermione and Draco could really have a relationship, based on canon?
I've been writing Lady Malfoy for two years and so I sometimes look at the Harry Potter books and have to remind myself that Dramione isn't a canon ship XD But their relationship is based on the fact that they're on opposite sides of the battle and there are many stories in our literature that have opposites attract =) Should they have gotten together in canon? Nah, Ron and Hermione deserve their happy ending.
4. We're dying to know Cassius's past, is the big reveal soon?
IT'S COMING SOON! Like I said before, Cassius was supposed to be a small character named Cyrus and I ended up making him such a huge part of my story. I'm really excited for you guys to find out his history though- it should be pretty surprising!
5. Will Lady Malfoy have a sequel?
The million dollar question.
haha, I've been thinking about this for a while now as my story's starting to come to an end. I originally wanted to have a sequel but then I ended up merging my sequel into the current story so I guess we'll see what happens. I do have a bunch of ideas but I can't talk about those until a few more spoilers have been revealed.
Thank you for the questions! I really like talking about the processes behind Lady Malfoy because it's been over two years now and I don't realize how much I have to say until I start typing =D
I make a point to only write one long novel at a time because of time constraints and school but I often have one-shots as well.
