*^wickedwitch*^ of Contra Veritas interview
1. How long has Contra Veritas been around?
Hmm, I'm not really sure how long exactly,but if I'm
not mistaken, it has been around for about 8 or 9
months.
2. What is the main goal of Contra Veritas?
CV's main goal is to unite D/Hr shippers everywhere
under a comman flag, and enlighten the rest of the
fandom on our noble and most ancient ship. (ok,that
sounded corny!)
3. What does "Contra Veritas" mean?
The direct translation for 'Contra Veritas' is
'Against Truth', but we've decided to use 'Against All
Reasons' as our tagline because it suited better with
the D/Hr ship.
4. The idea of a Draco/Hermione relationship in the
Harry Potter books has been frowned upon by many.
What is your response to them?
I've heard a lot of opinions regarding the D/Hr ship.
Most people seem to think that the idea of the evil
Draco Malfoy being involved with the clever Hermione
Granger is absolutely preposterous. But THAT is the
very reason why the ship appeals to many in the
fandom. D/Hr shippers go for the whole 'Bad Boy Falls
In Love With Hero's Intelligent Sidekick' formula.It
is the endearing quality of forbidden love that makes
the ship seem more interesting that the others in the
fandom.
Though we don't fully expect the two characters to be
romantically involved in book 6 or 7,but us D/Hr
shippers don't mind it at all, really. We'll always have
the fandom. :) After all,the existance of the fandom
is to encourage one's imagination to explore all
possibilities, no matter how obscure, no matter how
impossible.
5. A bit about yourself: How old are you, what are
you favorite outside-of-computer hobbies, and any
other additional info?
I'm 22 years old. I'm currently majoring in Public
Relations at a local University. My hobbies are
reading, writing, play drums, watch movies and
basically just annoy the heck out of everybody. :)
6. Who created your Flash intro? [Note: This question
has been asked by many of Veritaserum's visitors, and
I find it to be a truly lovely Flash.]
Thanks for the compliment! I'll be sure to pass it on
to its creator, Lai Lai Katong. He's the one who made
the flash intro for CV. We just gave a couple of
suggestions to him and he did all the work. :)
7. What is the most exciting thing that has happened
to you regarding your website?
Oh, lots of exciting things have happened! This includes
being an official supporter of the HP Fan Trips, getting praises
from people for featuring the 'Draco Rockstar' section
on the site, inheriting Eternal Magic (a very popular site which
features HP related graphics).
But I guess the most exciting thing must have been the
'Contra Veritas Fanlisting' which was specially made
by a fan of the site. :) The CV crew and I were so
honoured by the nice gesture.
8. How do you feel about winning the Best Webmaster
Award?
I can't help but feel thrilled by it. But I must say
that I could not have run the site without the help
and support from the talented CV Crew:
-Pixyzombie (Asst.webmiss)
-Caprigrrl Lannoire (Graphics and layout)
-Raphaela (News Reporter)
-Sky (Reporter for the Veritaserum column)
-Sarah (Icons, Buttons & Bookmarks Artist)
-Dominique (Official fanart artist)
-Mexx (CV's D/Hr Clique creator & LJ Community Administrator)
-Aurora,QueenC (RPG Administrators)
-Kat (RPG & Messageboard Moderator)
-tainted black ( Librarian @ Updates the fanfiction section)
-Blaze Faula (Webmiss of Eternal Magic)
-Campy Capybara, mariedelz, Bess, Icy Stormz, Laurel Avon (Messageboard Moderators)
-Amura, Liez, ashleyfanfic & Dani (CV's lovely hosts)
I also know for a fact that I wouldn't have won the
award if it wasn't for the loyal visitors of CV who
voted for me. So I'd like to take this opportunity to
say 'Thank You' to those who did. :)
