Dear Sylvanawood (hugs and lots of chocolate frogs!) over at Snapedom has graciously agreed to affiliate with our new asylum here on IJ, Dark Prince Rising (aka ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif)
darkprincesnape).
The other day we (your friendly co-mods, 00sevvie and janus) were discussing how hard it can be to find good fic and art in which Severus is a Voldemort loyalist, or otherwise taking a look specifically at his darker side. According to canon he was, after all, a loyal DE for at least a little while. So we started kicking around ideas for a "support group" for those who are at all interested in this aspect of our dear Potions Master - whether just occasionally liking to read a Dark!Snape fic or deeply interested in a less Light-oriented take on Severus' character, or even wondering if and how Severus can be considered a Dark wizard. From that Dark Prince Rising was born.
We welcome all your thoughts, meta, rants, jokes, and fic, art and meta recs to do with Dark!Severus. One of the ideas behind the comm is, after all, to gather this work together into one easy-to-find place. Like Snapedom, we plan on hosting occasional art and meta challenges, except oriented towards the comm's theme of Dark!Severus. We also accept direct posting of your own Dark!Sev-related fic and art (see the Prince's Laws for posting guidelines), and plan on hosting fic challenges in addition to art and meta ones (share your ideas!). And you can post recs anytime.
Everyone is welcome here who is at all interested in exploring this aspect of Severus, reading AU's in which he's still Voldie's or even becomes the next Dark Lord himself, and/or in exploring Severus as a specifically Dark wizard (however you define Dark magic!) We intend to work in friendly partnership with Snapedom, rather than in competition - janus and I will still be around Snapedom (as it is indeed lovely there with all of the other Snapefen), and here at DPR we will be focusing on a much narrower take on Severus than the general-interest approach taken there. Think of us as another tag on the Snapedom list, if you like, right next to the Severus and Voldemort Challenge; "Severus and the Dark Side." Please, drop by anytime and leave your Mark! And many thanks again to Sylvanawood - we'll get affiliate banners up asap.
Cheers! and Hi from your friendly mods at Dark Prince Rising,
00sevvie and janus
Come to the Dark Side...we have Chocolate Frogs!
And Happy Fourth of July to the Americans!
