:) Hi!

I'm Illuminate (you can call me Chess if you like) and I've been writing since I was the grand old age of six. I have thus far never ever finished an Original Fiction project, and so obviously I have decided to occupy my time with fanfiction :)

My one and only HPFF project (seriously, you won't find anything else on my Author page despite how many challenges I enter) is The Joker and Her, 15+ rated link in my sig, a GeorgexOC Hogwarts Era fic centered around my OC Brienne. It's planned to span the entire series of HP starting from the Prisoner of Azkaban, and at a meagre 12 chapters has a grand total of 313 reviews. Proud :)

My other works include glee fanfiction, Lost fanfiction, even the old A:TLA oneshot here and there, but my main focus is HP :)

My favourite characters are Ron, the Weasley twins and Luna :)

If you have any questions about Joker, or anything else, feel free to ask.

xx

First post :p OH yeah!

Now I have the following questions?
  • What inspired you to write the Joker and Her?
  • Why a George/Oc? I mean you could have chosen Fred or any other character to pair up with Bree?
  • Do you have any future projects in mind?
  • What kind of music do you like writing with? (If any)
  • Who is you favorite Character to write about?
  • And of course a random question... do you like brownies XD?
I think I ask too much, but I like your writing so I hope you don't mind :D

Hiiiii!

What inspired you to write the Joker and Her? Well, I'd lost a member of my family, and I thought the whole loss thing was kind of key to Harry Potter, and I really wanted to begin a story involving the Weasley twins. So I developed Brienne and The Joker and Her was born :)

Why a George/Oc? I mean you could have chosen Fred or any other character to pair up with Bree? Hmm, to be honest, I thought maybe pairing her with Fred might have been a little cliche, especially since I knew that Angelina would have been in there somewhere and I am a major stickler for canon, so Fred and Angelina needed to be together, and to be honest George matches Brienne's personality much better :)

Do you have any future projects in mind? Only really 'Joker.' It's going to span the entire HP saga beginning POA, so really that's my priority :)

What kind of music do you like writing with? (If any) Music generally tends to distract me, but I do like a nice humming background noise, y'know just general house noise :) But I do loooove music, mostly big ballads and epic anthems a la Muse, Coldplay and Keane. I adore the Glee Cast too.

Who is you favorite Character to write about? I like minor characters, or supporting characters, or OC's. I think cause then you have your own take on them and you're not too restricted :) I think if I ever wrote any more HPFF then they would be revolved around perhaps Next Gen characters or minor Hogwarts Era characters.

And of course a random question... do you like brownies XD? :D Oooooh yeah! I love them! Although I'm trying to lose weight right now if you push something chocolatey in my direction I can't possibly say no xD Brownies, cookies...I love making them too! Yum yum *runs to kitchen*


:D Great questions! Love ya, daliha!

:) Hi! Wow, thank you so much!
Who is your least favourite character? Umm I don't really like Percy, simply because he's a bit of an idiot. And, of course, there's Voldemort :)

Where do you usually write? Generally in my living room- I need a nice normal buzz of noise in the background and I must NOT be distubed. And I must also be wrapped up warmly and have a cup of tea :)

Thank you for your questions! If you have any more, don't hesitate to ask :)

:) Hi again! I got the idea from a Challenge by Bookworm045/Katherine045, called the Character Creator Machine Challenge. My criteria was that I had to write about a brown-haired Teddy Lupin, a Slytherin who wants to shoot flaming forks at someone :) I thought I'd take the fluffmedy route and Pink Eyes was born :) Thanks for your question!

Here's one question I've been dying to ask for ages.

1) Through writing the story The Joker and Her, I have noticed you ship Grienne. Is it hard writing it when you know that George in canon marries Angelina and whilst reading it some people will be anticipating this change despite the obvious differences of your story to canon?

Hiii :) Well, actually I like to strive to make the story as canon as possible. Even the tiniest details, such as George diving to catch Crookshanks in one chapter, that actually happened in the books. Of course, Brienne isn't canon, she's an OC, but what I want to do by writing the story is to incorporate Brienne into the canon so it's as if she could be there. You know? I'm adding to the canon rather than straying from it. And all I can say about George and Angelina is, you'll just have to wait and see :)

I just finished reading your 18 chapters of Joker and OMG it was stunning. You are awesome at canon!

1. What do you like most about the Twins?
2. When you write, do you plan beforehand or just let it come out as you go?
3. What is he hardest part about writing the Twins? (I want to write a bit of the Twins myself and need some advice :3 )

Hi! xD Gosh, thank you so much!

1. I love how the Twins are hilarious and sometimes irresponsible, but are strongly loyal and are fierce when they need to be :) They are easily my favourite characters.

2. I write a very general plan (like, literally a couple of sentences) on what I want the chapter to be about, and then write it xD Often the chapter goes in a completely different direction but it's good to keep the plans so I can continue doing what I set out to do later in the chapter or the story :) However, when planning an entire story before I write it I plan it in minute detail :) The characters, etc.

3. The hardest thing when writing the Twins I think is their banter- it's just so quick-thinking and seamless in the original books, so for me it's really hard to replicate that. But apparently I do that well :)

Thank you for your questions!
