Snupin Santa notes: Again, it's still Epiphany in a small chunk of the world, so enjoy these last 4 official works of Snupin Santa 2014. There's a goodbye, Epiphany celebrating, and closure on a long-running universe. I decided to let Shadowycat have the last "word" because she's been a supporter of Lupin_Snape from the very beginning, and because, I think you'll agree, we couldn't end on a more perfect note.
I'll be back on Severus' Birthday (January 9) with one more post to the archive and a master list. Remember, if you do some reccing, please let me know with a link in reply to any Snupin Santa post on any lupin_snape community. I'll see them. I hope some of you will think of some drabbles and tributes to Severus on the 9th!
Artist Note: Lupin/Snape has been my fandom home for the past several years, and I couldn't ask for a better one. The Snupin community has always been a wonderfully welcoming place to be, with some of the very nicest, kindest, and most creative people I know. It's been a huge pleasure to be a part of it. Year after year, the highlight of my participation in the community has been Snupin Santa.
It was one of the first big fests I ever took part in, and it's always been one of my very favorites. I'll miss it dearly, but I'm grateful to be able to be a part of it one final time. Thanks so much to everyone who's worked so hard to make this a great fest year after year, and extra special thanks to Lore for keeping the fest going for so long and for making Lupin/Snape and the Snupin community in general such a great place to spend time.
