The Lupin/Snape Lurve Community

I hope most of you remember the super-fabulous Snupin Desktop Calendar, and have already switched over to your February calendar.

Because It's cool!

But there is also a new 2009 Full Moon calendar by chazpure for those of us who don't remember to change our desktop image every month!

See? Also very cool!

Finally, I discovered that PhotoBucket doesn't allow images over 1024 x 768. In fact, it automatically downsized several of the larger sizes to 1024 x 768, so I had to recode several images to link to the alternate site. If you took a larger size of January from the links given, for example, that would explain why it didn't quite fit right for you.

Rest assured, it's all been fixed, so you can enjoy the calendar now in whatever size you wish! Don't forget to let the artists know how much you appreciate their work, either on the calendar post or when they post their art individually. Thanks, all! Happy February!

love, lore

I can't believe I forgot to post this.

Finally I've made some blank wallpaper calendars of my NaNo calendar (per lore's request =D) in a few different sizes. Also, one different Nano-sized wallpaper and a simple blank one which can be resized easily for any resolution.

Lastly, the loverly LoreLore made some icons! *fwee* Feel free to take and use. ^_^ Everything Under the cut! Happy Halloween everybody!

Community Invitations to the artists who volunteered here are out! We'll be using a backup community at LJ, just in case IJ is being slow, but I really do want to keep the bulk of the posts on IJ if possible.

Artists, your invites are here:
http://www.insanejournal.com/manage/invites.bml
http://www.livejournal.com/manage/invites.bml

If you didn't receive one, please let me know! Also, if you're an artist and just seeing this project now, you're welcome to join us as long as you don't mind sharing months (i.e., there might be two Decembers). There will be a welcome post and then a logistics post in the IJ community soon. Feel free to introduce yourselves and ask questions or detail your plans. Whee!

love, lore

P.S. Everyone else, I know some of you would love a sneak peek at the goings-on, but please don't bother friending the project communities. They're set to automatically lock posts, so there won't be anything for you to see. ♥ Sorry about that!

Calling all artists!

As you all should know, we have a physical Snupin calendar that runs until June, 2009. Rather than try to put together another year-spanning calendar for July 2009 - June 2010, I thought it might be fun to bridge the gap with desktop calendars.

If you don't know what a desktop calendar is, I found some examples on Deviantart here, here, here, here, and here.

I'm looking for at least 12 artists to create desktop calendar images for Snape/Lupin for 2009. To participate, all you have to do is reply to this post, saying you want in. When we have a final group, we'll retreat to a sister community that you'll be asked to join. We used a separate community on LiveJournal to organize the two-year calendar and I think it might work again for this project. The artists were able to share drafts and get advice from each other, which they seemed to enjoy. If the idea of joining a closed community for this project deters you in any way, please sign up anyway and let me know how you'd like to communicate.

If you just want to create an image for the project, but don't feel confident in creating a full-blown desktop image, I'm sure there will be other artists who would be willing to make a desktop from your image. So, don't let the format keep you from signing up as well! Feel free to spread the news about this project in your own journals. If we have more than 12 sign up, we'll just have extra months for people to choose from.

Deadline for sign-ups is Monday, September 29!

Save the Date Notice!

There's been some interest in having a Snape/Lupin version of a Big Bang, which is a project where novel-length stories are written around a theme, and artists are assigned to illustrate the novels based on drafts in various stages. The Authors and Artists are not known to one another to give them a bit of surprise during their work on the project. The stories and art eventually will be integrated onto a final web site and debuted for all!

We haven't nailed down all the details yet, but we will probably put out the call for authors and artists in January for an eventual April/May(??) web site debut. Those interested in participating in this project might want to "save the date" in their fandom calendars or skip the usual January-March exchanges.

***********
Zine II, Snupin Boogaloo!

Because not every writer is interested in producing novel-length fiction, I will probably organize another round of the Special Project alongside the novel-length project. So, again, make sure to leave some room in your schedule this January-April/May(??) for contributing and/or volunteering to help out!

***********
Modly things to do:
Get mood theme on here!
Put up Fantasy Fest masterlists.
Make Snupin calling card.
Organize LJ links.
Update the info pages!
Funtime (hangs head in shame).
Edit IJ tags to match LJ tags

That's all I have for now! Don't forget to have some fun with the Filk Challenge through October 15 and contribute to the Snupin Library through the end of the month! I hope there's some lurkers out there who will come out of hiding to suggest some fics for the library or create some Filk for us - now is definitely a great time to delurk and participate in the community!

Remember, if you have any questions or thoughts on anything here, please feel free to comment here or drop me a line via the community email. I can sort the sign-ups from the questions. *g* I'm going to be scarce for the next two weeks, so have fun everyone and keep on Snupining! *HUGS* You're the best community a person could ever hope for!

love, lore
