I got notification that the new archive, The Quidditch Pitch, chose my story Droit Du Seigneur as a featured story for the first month. That in itself is awesome, plus they sent me this cool banner:





But even that doesn't tickle me as much as this--they sent me interview questions! Questions like, "What advice if any would you give to other writers? What serves as the inspiration for the stories you write?" I can't help it; I've always wanted to be on the receiving end of that! I mean, I could have written up something like that anytime and posted it on my lj, but it's the having been asked of it, you know? Squee!

Three cheers! That's so exciting - I am surprised, though, that this is the first ("official") interview you've done. You totally deserve this.

You are so sweet, thank you! I cannot help it--I have an opinion about everything and love to be asked. ^_^

*scratches head* Nobody's asked you that before? Dang. I'd have asked years ago if I'd known!

*is insanely curious about other people's writing habits*

Aw you're a dear! *hugs* It's all--archival and official and stuff!

[identity profile] lirren.livejournal.com 2005-11-01 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
And they couldn't have picked a better story to start out with. That one is so amazingly twisted. I just adore it. Congrats to you. You absolutely deserve it.

I have set myself up for blushing on this post; it's my own fault. *hugs you* Thank you so much! I love my wicked Lucius.

You know me, I love talking about those kinds of things. ^_^

[identity profile] seraphtrevs.livejournal.com 2005-11-01 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yay! *cheers for you* "Droit de Seigneur" is probably my favorite of your works and one of the best IC Harry/Lucius stories out there, so the recognition is very much deserved! : D

[identity profile] amanuensis1.livejournal.com 2005-11-01 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
*blushes* I love predator!Lucius, I can't help it.

[identity profile] angel-gayla.livejournal.com 2005-11-01 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Droit Du Seigneur is a fantastic fic, one of the best. You're a brilliant writer and congratulations on some well-deserved recognition for your awesome talent.

[identity profile] amanuensis1.livejournal.com 2005-11-01 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
*blushes* It's--well, it's a premise I'm terribly fond of, for all that the story might have been a little...oh, heck, I should just say thank you!

Oh, yes, thank you for asking! When they're up I'll make a point of it. (I got a bit rambly, I hope it doesn't disappoint too badly! ^_^ )

they sent me interview questions!

Inquiring minds want to know! :)

Kudos!

Or at least are making a polite show of it, hee. Either way, I'm thrilled!

[identity profile] arsenicjade.livejournal.com 2005-11-01 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
I know exactly what you mean. You so deserve it. Congrats!

DUDE. Like, sisters in comprehension! *hugs*

[identity profile] aubrem.livejournal.com 2005-11-01 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
Lucius, in that story, has the HOTTEST physical description of any Lucius ever. I will never forget it. Hot hot hot.

[identity profile] amanuensis1.livejournal.com 2005-11-01 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's awesome. Then my work here is done! XD

[identity profile] silentauror.livejournal.com 2005-11-01 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Droit du Seigneur is, in my completely unbiased opinion, the ultimate Lucius characterization. The I Ching of Lucius. So disturbing and so wonderful and so very, very hot. And I think I've said this before, but it was actually the background H/D in here that converted me to the ship from Snarry, which I think speaks volumes about your abilities when it comes to the details and wholly believeable setting of everything you write. Congratulations on this! Seconding [livejournal.com profile] drusillas_rain up there, I hope you do this interview and link it, too. ♥

[identity profile] amanuensis1.livejournal.com 2005-11-01 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
*gibbers* You gotta be kidding. You mean you haven't been sailing the H/D ship since, like, the dawn of time?? OMG that's too much to be believed. (And by the way I remember that picture the icon comes from, bwah ha ha!) I don't know how believable I think DdS is, hee, but it gives me the pleasant squirmies and that's just how I write sometimes. Oh, heck, thank you!

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. I hope we all get to read the interview and your answers. I know that the help and insights you gave me into writing have been invaluable - even if I don't do them adequate justice.

*squees with you*

*g*

Oh, lord, you are too sweet. The interview questions might be anywhere from superficial to rambly, but maybe there will be tiny bits of wisdom somewhere in there. *hugs gratefully*

[identity profile] silverhielm.livejournal.com 2005-11-01 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
You deserve any kind of privilege and flattery, and they chose one of your best stories ever! It was the second story I read among yours (after A Spell To Turn Tigers To Butter) and it was what made me fall in love with you, completely. I'm so happy for you! :**

[identity profile] amanuensis1.livejournal.com 2005-11-01 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, I've gone into hyper turboblush over here. ^_^ *hugs happily*
