I’m so excited to be posting my very first author interview ever!! I love talking to everyone and reading their work, and being able to share it with others is such a privilege!
Erin is an amateur fanfiction writer who mostly writes Harry Potter fanfics. You can find her work on FanFiction.net, so make sure to check out what she’s written so far! I was fortunate enough to be talking with another Erin (whose work I’m editing) and she told me about this Erin, and we started an interview, which went a little (or a lot) like this…
How did you choose your pen name?
WhyamInotinRavenclaw – My frustration at only being able to be in one Hogwarts house- Hufflepuff is my primary house.
What is your latest piece of writing?
Lady Knight
How did you decide to write it?
I wondered what it would be like to be growing up in the shadow of heroic parents, and what a pain it would be, and went from there.
Do you have any tips for writing and getting started?
Start writing, then edit. If you try to edit as you write, it will be very slow. Write about things that interest you.
What’s your favorite book?
Dang… Harry Potter series or Throne of Glass Series.
Why did you decide to start writing fanfics?
I wanted to see what would happen to the character I loved.
Who’s your favorite ship?
Fremione
Which author (if any) inspired you to start writing?
John Green

With my family – Singing Silent Night as we put baby Jesus in the manger
What is your favorite part of Christmas?
Mass with my family

I don’t really read FanFictiob but I just checked Arun out and she’s awesome! Thanks for sharing this lovely interview, it was great being introduces to such a talented writer (though I would ship Dermoine or Haco, Draco & Hermoine)

I’m so glad you liked her! Her work is really incredible, and I’m glad I was able to share it with you 🙂 I still can’t believe you ship Dermione though…. (ron+hermione are adorable)

Hmm, i think it would’ve been reallyy exciting. Hermoines and Harry’s friendship being put to the test and some different, unique emotions from Draco other than Hate, it would have been really interesting to see.

That’s valid, and I could see it happening on hermiones end I just don’t think Draco would have ever gone against his parents beliefs that much

Fair Point. Apparently, J.K Rowling WAS going use Dermoine in the story but then Ron would have no-one so she ditched that plan.
