Hi, folks! If you're just joining us, we're on DAY SIX of seven days of discussion before Small Gifts begins posting. Start off by introducing yourself (and meeting fellow participants and watchers) over here!
Day 6: Remus vs. Sirius
Do you identify with Remus (or some of his personality characteristics) or Sirius (or some of his personality characteristics?--or both or neither? Has that affected how you prefer to read/write/draw/see the pairing? Does it affect you preference for a POV character? Has your identification with one or the other changed over time?
P.S. Sorry this post is so late today, folks!

Date: 2017-11-30 04:08 am (UTC)I was originally more drawn to Remus, but over time I have come to know and love Sirius just as much, and have actually written more fic from his POV. A friend and I were talking about how it is sometimes easier to write from Sirius's POV for a plot-driven fic because he seems to have more external action going on around him (often chaos of his own making) whereas Remus's character lends itself to more interiority. Of course that's not true all the time, but I think there's something to it.
Several times I have written Wolfstar-centric fics that were in other characters' POV, which was an interesting and different way to explore R/S. Last year my entry for this fest was told from Charlie's POV, which highlighted different things than I usually see. There was waaay less angst, for one thing. (But just as much porn!)

Date: 2017-11-30 07:32 am (UTC)in reading fic, i have no preference. as for my own fic, writing remus POV is quite safe for me, whereas sirius POV is more of a challenge. i think i tend to write more remus POV, but i let myself go more when i write sirius POV. interesting!
