1. Tell us about yourself! What's your name? Where are you from? What's your biggest fear? Compare yourself to someone (fiction or real!) that you identify with.

Hi there! My real name is Eric and I'm from Maine. There's a great debate on whether it is a Canadian province or a United State. I know which one I'd prefer. I'm a Creative Writing and English graduate about to start going after my master's degree starting Monday with some online classes. My biggest fear is the feeling of being trapped or isolated. I can spend great quantities of time on my own when I feel like it but when I feel the need to go out into the world and interact and I don't have that ability, I freeze up and lose my mind.

TBQH, I identify with Charlie from Perks of Being a Wallflower. Not to the extent of blacking out and having severe episodes but social anxiety-wise, wanting to fit in, being uncertain about life and feelings and everything in general. Finding an escape in books, music, and such. I probably wouldn't start writing to someone and using letters as a diary but to each his own.

2. What's your strategy going to be like? What do you think might be your downfall? If you've played ORGs in the past, what was a strategy that's worked well and gotten you far?

EDIT: I skipped this question entirely.

My strategy going into any game is to start out with a semi-decent social game. I really just try to fit in as best as possible. I don't have a strategy past that because I never know what to expect with any cast. My downfall might end up being my social game. I just never know how much time I'll need to put into socializing and even when I think I'm doing a great job people will still perceive me as inactive and vote me out because they just don't know where my head is at. A conversation goes both ways, though. If I'm asked what I'm thinking, I'll go right ahead and say. What has worked best for me in the past is getting in with a large group early on, even if I'm not even close to being on the top of that team, I'm at least not an initial target and I can work from there.

3. Who's your favorite survivor? What's your favorite season? What is your favorite moment in Survivor history? Who's your favorite HP character and why?

I feel like this should be a harder question than it is but I'm going to have to go with Ethan Zohn. He's just such a great guy and has been through so much but has maintained such a positive outlook on life and I love him. My favorite season is Heroes Vs. Villains. It is honestly the most compelling story arc season I have ever seen and was thrilled with the outcome. My favorite moment in Survivor history was when Parvati used two idols at one tribal council successfully and shocked the heck out of everyone.

My favorite Harry Potter character is and always will be Cedric Diggory, so thank you, SO MUCH, for taking him so I can't rep him. That's super. -_- Cedric represents an almost too perfect human being. He's kind, he's respectful, he's honest, he's fair. He's an incredible character who I feel J.K. Rowling built up as a background character for everyone who loved the main Trio to feel contempt toward because of asking Cho Chang to the Yule Ball and giving Harry a substandard hint about the Triwizard egg... but it's impossible for me to feel that way because of his insistence book three for the Quidditch match to be replayed because Harry fell from his broom during a Dementor attack, showing his attributes throughout book four and leading to his plot development death that still makes me salty to think about. So yeah, Cedric is my favorite and I'm crazy.

4. Why will you be the Sole Survivor of Enchanted? Why should we root for you?

I never like to count my chickens before they hatch, but I'd say I'll be the Sole Survivor because I know who I'm playing. I'm going to embody Cormac McLaggen and make him a better person who, let's be real, isn't that bad just because J.K. Rowling made him interested in Hermione and wanting to be a Keeper. That just makes him ambitious and smart. I want to do him the justice his author didn't and I'll be witchcrafty and fun to boot.

5. If you could have any super power what would it be and why?

I would be able to read and manipulate minds like Professor X in X-Men. What good would any other power be when you can basically get what you want with a metaphorical stroke of a brain stem? I could live wherever I want, be whatever I want and do whatever I want, always within reason and only really be bending a few rules or laws along the way. Main Trio style.

6. What are your very first impressions of your fellow cast members and their rep choices?

Honestly, I think it's going to be hilarious seeing a Reeta Skeeter and Gilderoy Lockhart running around. I'm really intrigued by Newt Scamander and Madame Pompfry. I'll have to get back to this one later one when everyone's checked in.

7. What do you think you will face in Enchanted? Any predictions for twists?

I'm definitely expecting something to do with Dueling Club, Forbidden Forest, Potions, and a Chamber of Secrets. I'm excited for the unexpected though so I'll be happy with whatever I have to face and whatever twists come my way. Except I don't fancy being Petrified so I'll definitely avoid anything to do with that.

8. How do you feel about the rep choice you were given? Why did you choose them?

Oop, I've answered half this question already but I feel really excited and happy with being able to rep Cormac. He was my first choice and you really can't ask for more than that.
