Fic Rec: Illuminations de Noël in [info]snapelyholidays [Jan. 8th, 2009|12:10 pm]

[Tags|, ]

Illuminations de Noël by anon. I just finished reading this fic. I've seen a few recs and they were definitely on the money. Gorgeously written, as if Severus in Paris, smoking, and wearing glasses could possibly fail to deliver. *drools* I'm not much of an expert on Severus/Draco but this is a wonderful picture of their relationship post-war. I really like this Draco and that's saying something. ;) Scorpius, Narcissa and Astoria all have parts to play. Incredibly well done. Read it and leave the author some love.

Wheee!
Signups are now open for what was one of the MOST FUN FESTS I played in last year. *g*
Yes, I know I've been talking about no more fests but this doesn't break that rule because, as [info]eeyore9990 reminded me, I won't be writing for it, I'll be arting for it. Heh *can rationalize anything*
*cough*
Anyway, seriously, this is an awesome fest with wonderful mods and fun participants.
Come and play!

The reveals for the wonderful [info]snupin_santa went up last night!

I was 90% sure that [info]snegurochka_lee wrote the my I'm-in-love-with-it, I-cannot-rec-it-highly-enough gift Forbidden Passion: A Soap Opera in Five Acts, and I was right! Poor Lee will have to put up with me slobbering all over her in thanks next time I see her, but what I really hope is that more of you go over and read her amazing work. That would be my best thank you gift to her-- more people to read and comment on the fic, so GO! :)

My fic was An Ecstasy of Fumbling, a post-WWI AU, written for darling [info]nehalenia based on her brilliant and complex prompt. I also must credit my dear [info]blpaintchart for the AU time period idea, which was so inspiring. On a more self-involved note, three people guessed this was my fic, and I'm dying to know what my tells are, for purely navel-gaving purposes...;P
Anyway, here's the fic:

Title: An Ecstasy of Fumbling

Word count: ~13,000
Rated: NC-17
Warnings: open relationship infidelity, rough sex, violence (war)
A/N: The title is from the Wilfred Owen poem "Dulce et Decorum Est." Thank you to my amazing beta, without whom this absolutely would not exist. Happy Holidays, nehalenia! You were so much fun to write for!
Thanks to my more-than-beta [info]blpaintchart, who basically made this fic happen from beginning to end, and to McKay and all the helper mods for running an amazing fest!

Okay, I've gone through and switched most of the 2008 gifts to the author/artist, but there were a few I wasn't sure of, so those won't be flipped until I know what account, if any, to switch the gift to. Please check here to make certain your story/art has been switched to the right account!

If you have any older stories/art from a previous year's fest that you want switched to your account, now is the time to tell me! You can check here to see what's still listed under the Snupin Santa account. You'll need to give me your user ID on the site and a link to the story/art you want switched.

Once a post is switched to your account, you can edit the text and header info to add a time period, genre, etc. You'll also receive feedback notifications by email, and you can answer feedback to your story/art. Please don't forget to check the gift post on IJ/LJ for feedback as well!

Snupin Santa 2008 Master List! [Jan. 7th, 2009|08:15 pm]

Here it is - the master list of gifts posted in the Snupin Santa 2008 Fest! All gifts are listed in the order in which they were posted.

Gifts marked with an asterisk were included in the "Hot Rec/Hot Art" section of the Daily Snitch newsletter, although some might not have appeared yet because I just sent them in today.

The general stats are at the bottom of the post.

I added the names of those authors/artists who were attributed to each gift beneath, and the list of those who voted correctly is below. The results were quite interesting, especially when people who weren't in the fest were given votes, and one participant was voted as having written for herself. *G*

Snupin Santa 2008 Master List )

Snupin Santa 2008 Stats )

ATTENTION 2008 PARTICIPANTS:


Now that the master list is up, I'm going to work on switching the gifts to the creator's account. I'm not sure how long it will take, but I'll let everyone know when I'm finished. In addition to being able to edit your stories/art at the site, you'll receive comment notifications for new feedback if you've turned on that option for your account, and you'll be able to respond to feedback left in response to the story/art.

If you want your story/art switched to your account, you need to let me know what your account name on the Snupin Santa site is ASAP, especially if it's different from your IJ/LJ ID. If you've participated in previous years and want your older stories/art switched to your account, leave a comment identifying which stories you want switched with a link.

Also, if you have not said thank you for your gift(s) yet, PLEASE DO SO. Someone did their best to create something, and it deserves to be acknowledged in some way, even if it's just "Thank you, I appreciate the effort you made for me".

Thanks again to all participants, pinch hitters, readers, reccers, and commenters! Double thanks to [info]kopernik, [info]real_life_rosy, and [info]jedirita for helping out this year! Snupin Santa 2008 produced some wonderful stories and art, and I'm proud that it was a successful fest this year.

See you again for Snupin Santa 2009!

Dear Mods: Thank you for all the Awesomeness! [Jan. 7th, 2009|06:53 pm]

[nehalenia]
Since I can't draw pretty pictures and I suck at drabbles (or at writing anything with a quick turnaround time), I'm going to follow [info]hogwartshoney's lead and simply offer my most heartfelt thanks to [info]scribbulus_ink and her helpers [info]jedirita, [info]kopernik and [info]real_life_rosy. Snupin Santa is a truly exceptional fest. I was so impressed with it when I joined fandom in 2006, and have had so much fun participating in it these last two years. Thank you so much for all your time and energy in making this such a wonderful, well-run fest. I don't think I'm going out on a limb by saying that Snupin Santa is what the whole [info]lupin_snape community looks forward to each year -- I know I do -- and even tho the holidays can be stressful, this fest never disappoints. Thank you again, and please know that your efforts are appreciated. *smooches mods*

Mod Post: Chat is Live! Also, Reminders galore! [Jan. 7th, 2009|07:48 pm]

lupin_snape

[lore]

Official chat is on now, so come on in to the chat room and join us as we wait for the big [info]snupin_santa reveal! We'll be in there at least 3 - 4 hours, chatting away about all things Snupin.

Other Quick and Dirty Community Reminders:

"Thank Yous" to the Snupin_Santa mods can continue to be posted whenever you finish them.

Snape's Birthday Challenge claims are ongoing through Friday here.

Time for new Thematic List Theme suggestions! Take the poll here.

It's not quite too late to post your Snupin Santa recs on IJ or on LJ. In fact, if you post recs after the reveal and want to link them there, authors and artists can always check back and send the Snitch their rec links themselves, as McKay will stop doing it on her own after the reveal.

The Desktop Calendar is here. Artists, feel free to post your individual pieces so people can gush at you. ~_^

The January Theme Search is Mystery stories, and it's here.

It's not too late to give your input on our Snupin: Bigger, Longer and Uncut (BLU!), which is our version of a Big Bang, here.

Finally, Kudos to [info]bronze_ribbons, who always faithfully posts the Moonshadow update. I hope she'll be busy after Snupin Santa with everyone archiving their work there... *g*

love, lore

Snupin Santa Recs 2...notice to participants of more to come.... [Jan. 7th, 2009|06:31 pm]

[Current Mood | busy]
[Current Music |Umbrella-eh eh eh]


Two drawings for Vibishan's story, "Falconlord", PG, Art
An Astounding level of expert pencil or pen work into these. The images are both great moments, but it's the detail and work that went into elements like Remus' tunic and the titled Falcon that left my jaw hanging. It's so easy to ignore the work involved when the artist makes it all look so effortless with her clean style - give these a second look and be amazed!

I ask for so little/As the world falls down..., G, Art
A visual Labyrinth crossover casting Snape in the Jareth role and Remus as Sarah. There are two pieces here, of Snape alone and then of Snape and Remus in the dream sequence. It's an excellent juxtaposition of two universes. The art is bold and colourful as well as touched with magic and romance. Even if you're not familiar with the film, go look, because the art is just that interesting and beautiful.

Wedding Bell Blues, PG, 8k+
Summary: A best man has many duties. Including keeping the groom from making the mistake of his life.

Even the title is hilarious in the all-out farce that is the upcoming nuptials of Remus and Tonks. The story is told in Severus' strong first-person voice, but the author does an excellent job of avoiding overuse of the "I" sentence structure. The details here are rich and the story reads as quite "British", which is also fun. This is a solid read that carries you along effortlessly. And if you need more convincing, maybe this one last word will send you over to read it: Bridezilla!


*sigh* And that's all I was able to get to before the big reveal. But I've decided to do at least one more round of recs on Snupin_Santa anyway, and the authors and artists can do what they will with them, including sending them on to the Snitch on their own. McKay is a saint for trying to promote the participants' works during the fest, but it's time for everyone to take up the reins of responsibility again and send in their own three recs, if they happen (which I always hope they will!).

So, back with even more later! *HUGS ALL*

love, lore
