fluffyllama's latest Theatrical Muse ficlet (genfic, PG-ish). This Peter is ruthless, self-serving, scary, and just a tiny bit comic, in a macabre sort of way -- in other words, *canon*.
(kristenk2, does that give you any idea? *g*)

Gacked from... oh, just about everybody, most recentlypogrebin:
Where and when did you first hear of my name/see my work/'meet' me? With what people/series/groups etc. do you associate me and my writing? This is not a praise or feedback meme, this is just to track the path of my online presence and to see the connections involved, to find out how people link together.
And, likepogrebin, I'll tell you how I first heard of you, too.

Date: 2004-02-21 12:48 am (UTC)I also associate you with Peter-porn. And other types of fan-fiction about Wormtail that you manage to work beautifully with what we know about him from canon. And fan-fiction sex scenes that actually seem real. And snapesupport. And probably some other things that I've forgotten.
Re:

Date: 2004-02-21 05:12 am (UTC)I associate you and your work with:
--psychologically motivated stories, definitely mytharc in X-Files fic.
--X-files: the characters of Krycek and Marita, also Jeffrey and Diana.
--HP: Peter, of course. But also Snape, because of your artwork of him.
--communities: Harem and LJ, to a lesser extent RATales.
Was this what you had in mind? More than you had in mind? *g* Just ask me if you have any questions.

Yes, that helps a lot, thanks! Heh, I think you're right, Peter does probably fall somewhere between Krycek and Spender.
But I liked the alliteration of Peter Pettigrew = Pendrell. *g*
Re:
Date: 2004-02-21 04:41 pm (UTC)Peter Pettigrew and Alex Krycek. It does kind of fit, two alliterative manipulative bad boys. *g* (I can't help thinking of your Peter-Krycek crossover story, now, Eo! There was a kindred spirit thing happening there!)
I'm not sure about Jeffrey, though (or only in terms of being hated by readers/viewers) --he is a total sweetheart compared to Peter and Alex. :)
Re:
Date: 2004-02-21 10:59 pm (UTC)For real! You could say that Peter plays the part of Krycek in the HP storyline, but HP fans *treat* him like XF fans treat Jeffrey.
Peter, of course, lacks the advantage of being as irresistably attractive as Nicholas Lea. *g*
Re:
Date: 2004-02-22 05:41 am (UTC)Yeah, fandom is shallow that way. *g*
Beyond good looks or not, though, I also think the difference in popularity has got a lot to do with Peter's timidity and nervousness vs. Krycek's calm and physical courage. In that respect, too, one fits in perfectly with our ideals of masculinity while the other just doesn't. I remember reading the statement somewhere that "Krycek is the villain but Nicholas Lea plays him as though he were the hero." That goes a long way toward explaining his popularity imo, and (correct me if I'm wrong, because I don't know HP canon to anywhere the same extent as X-Files) I have the impression so far that the descriptions of Peter forbids any such interpretation of the character. (Then again, simple physical attractiveness does have quite a bit to do with what we immediately perceive as heroic, of course.)

Hee. There are no fewer than four HP characters (that people write fic about) who have the initials "PP". Occasional confusion does ensue. :)

Date: 2004-02-21 06:44 am (UTC)Associate you with Snape, Snapesupport, language ( yep, all of it! ), museums and sketching and other things I don't understand but they're interesting to read anyway ( Krycek for example ), dragons and ring-tailed lemurs AND answers to my stupid questions - thank you
Also associate you entirely with California! Must be something you said somewhere. Previously I just thought of wine.

Heh! Well, I'm a pretty good example of a Californian, and I'm quite proud to be one, so that makes sense. :)

Re:

Of course, I met you through
