Some Experts
Q: What got you interested in Les Miz?
A: In 1998 I went to see the Third National Touring Company, being completely new to musical theater at all, but Les Miz especially. It completely blew me away--I don't think I breathed for the entire three hours. About a week afterwards I read the novel, and I was gone. Les Miz really got me into musical theater as a genre, and it's still an incredibly amazing thing to me.
Q: Do you tend to base your stories on the novel, or the musical?
A: Both, really, because the characterizations are so different that some I like and some I don't. For example, I tend to write Eponine like she is in the book--but I always write Marius as the musical writes him--he's unsufferable any other way. :-) It really depends on the mood of the piece, and my mood of course.
Q: What kind of fic do you tend to write the most (humor, romance, vignettes, crossovers...)? Why?
A: Drama, mostly, and slash, but I try not to write all slash because there's only so many angsty pairings of the Amis you can have before they get repetitive. I get a perverted pleasure out of throwing the characters into horrible situations and running with it.
