Bring Back the Bastard

Hi, everyone, new mods here. We wanted to give caecelia_ a really amazing sendoff, and kick off our new reign of terror with a great party, so we decided to hold a celebratory fest.

And not just any fest. Our deeply horrible friends over at Dysfuncentine recently wrapped up their wonderful anti-Valentine's celebration of dysfunctional relationships, replete with dissatisfaction, hatesex, screaming, disappointment, cynicism, resentment, jealously, infidelity, boredom, and all sorts of dysfunction. So we invited them to join us over here to celebrate their community, our community, and our common love of all things dysfunctional, and they gave their blessing. Also, they’re letting us have all their spare dead Cupids for decorations. Instant party!

It's time for the Sloppy Seconds Fest! This is where all the unclaimed Snape-related Dysfuncentine prompts get their chance, despite being unloved and already-used (and frankly a little sticky), to find a partner among our writers for one last messy, dysfunctional encounter.

Many thanks to caecelia_ for all her hard work on Deeply Horrible and the Bring Back the Bastard Fest, and all our best wishes. Many thanks also to featherxquill for all her enthusiasm and help on this fest, and to Dysfuncentine, without whom we would have no sloppy seconds at all.
