Countdown to small gifts 6/7: Remus vs. Sirius

[smallgiftsmods]

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!

That internal/external thing is really interesting, because I've written more from Remus' POV partly because it's sometimes the easiest way to get a really clear handle on what's going on with him. You don't really need to get inside Sirius' head to know what he's feeling so much!

oh gosh. honestly I identify so much with remus that writing from his pov feels almost redundant, lmao, so it's funny you say that! i default into sirius pov most frequently. idk after writing a sirius centric fic for games I sort of experimented this month writing something that is largely remus pov and there's just a lot of us looking at each other in exasperation like 'u make the worst fucking decisions'. it's simultaneously cathartic and deeply uncomfortable to write someone you id w so much
