Alright so me and dragons memory came up with this idea that I'd interview her about some things mainly to get the popularity of In The Background up and also for you guys to find out some interesting things well here nt is.
A bit about the main character Hailey
Dragonsmemory: You probably want to hear a bit more about Hailey. She's Harry's twin. They really don't know who was born first, though. She looks like Lily, but has James' eyes. She also has a very strange talent. She knows exactly what to say to Harry to help him. It comes in handy during one of his famous rants. The story itself is told from her perspective.
Alright Why do you post the chapters on special dates?
Dragonsmemory:The dates I've posted are the birthdays of certain characters. I was going off of a calendar, but said calendar is now missing. I'm also trying tomake it look random until the official release date.
Have you written any stories before In the Background
draginsmemory: I write quite a few stories, but I'm rather new to the realm of fanfiction. This is my first real attempt at it. I actually have two chapters of this posted elsewhere under the name "The Chosen Twins." I changed the name when I realized that Hailey would always be in Harry's shadow.
I also have a couple one-shots floating around.
How much of the story is like completely different to the Garry Potter books?
Dragonsmemory: I actually composed the entire prologue on my own. That's why it's so short. That, and there really wasn't much to write about. The other chapters are almost identical to the books. For obivous reasons I've had to make some descisions.
For instance, unlike some other fanfics, this one doesn't follow what happens during the summer at all. There are a few times I'll put them together in the summer, but for the most part, no summer.
Why did you separate the comments and the story?
Drogansmemory: , I separated the comments and the story. This way, the story will stay nice and neat, yet readers can still chat about what they've read. Unlike almost any other Harry Potter fanfic, In The Background will cover all of the books. I'm aiming for about 90% of the whole series, but some parts will be very difficult. Thus, if I kept the comments and story together, the whole forum would be massive. Then again, it'll still be massive, but slightly less so.
Also, during the story, if you post the most comments, you'll be designated Most Dedicated Reader.
What is most dedicated reader?
dragonsmemory: The Most Dedicated Reader will recieve special first looks at the new chapters before they're even written.
After I put up a new post, I'll share my notes on it. The notes discuss things like what I cut between posts or during the post, changes from the original story, and anything else I can think of. I encourage readers to post thheir thoughts and questions as well.
Alright that Is all for now but please I'd suggest you read In the a background by Dragonsmemory it's really good and the actually story is posted on Harry Potter Fanfiction. Hope you enjoyed this.

((Just so you all know, this is only a small part of the whole chapter. I'm particularly proud of this bit, as you'll soon see. Keep watch for an exclusive interview between The Fanfic's own Rita Skeeter and yours truly!))
Harry looked down at the long list of Quidditch hopefuls. "Hailey, I don't see your name on here. I thought you'd sign up."
Hailey looked up from her eggs, smiling. "I'd rather leave Quidditch and rule-breaking to you. That IS what you're best at, after all," she said simply.
Harry only rolled his eyes. She could tell he hoped she had some of Dad's Quidditch talent, but she wasn't eager to prove it. After all, her family had enough publicity as it was.
((Now, this is only a teeny bit of the chapter. The real thing'll be a lot longer. But you'll have to wait quite a while for it.))
