The Lupin/Snape Lurve Community

Title: The Lightkeeper
Author: islandsmoke
Pairing: Remus/Severus, past Remus/Sirius, Remus/OMC
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~21,000
Fest/Challenge: Fantasy Fest 2010
Prompt/Summary: Remus is a lighthouse keeper, Snape's boat encounters a storm. Stranded together, UST, AU/AR.
Warnings: Non-magical AU, with huge amounts of geekage. Mentions of past abuse and death of loved ones. Strong angst. While there are chickens, there are no fluffy bunnies.
A/N: The setting is fictional although some of the events are not. I tried to be as historically accurate as possible, and am using extensive research as an excuse for being so inexcusably late. I thought of including a bibliography, but it just might be longer than the fic, so I settled for a few Story Notes at the end.

Now with Art! The fabulous fabledtruant created the illustration "Trim" (of Lupin's haircut) as a Snupin Santa gift for me. It is in part three.

Thank you for the wonderful prompt, Mystery Prompter, and I hope you enjoy the story, and huge thanks to hogwartshoney and aunty_marion for beta help and so much more. All errors, historical and otherwise, are mine.

Title: The Pirate, The Professor, and the Ruin of the Empire
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 13,260
Summary: Britain is in the grip of the Emperor, while the rightful ruler Lord Albus hides in exile in Scotland. Small bands of pirates form some opposition but it’s going to take a spectacular strike to bring the Empire down for good.
Thanks: drachenmina for the fabulous beta.
Notes: Fantasy Fest entry (yes, a little late), from this prompt: Steampunk universe. R is an airship pirate. S is a scientist/inventor. S is kidnapped by R's crew. Love/hate relationship forms between R and S. S ends up helping R's crew escape capture from "evil empire of doom". Bonus if S joins with the crew in the end.
Thanks, mystery prompter. I had fun!

For Fantasy Fest 2010 news, see below.

We have no challenge this month, but we do have a volunteer activity:

If you would like a Snape/Lupin icon or banner or other graphic element, and you have some details in mind (words, images, etc.), leave a reply here with details and/or links. People who know how to make icons/digital art are welcome to keep an eye on this post and fulfill the requests.

I'll try to post reminders, but I am one harried mod this month. If anyone wants to start discussions or put up some candid captions or something else, please feel free!



If you would like to leave pennswoods comments on her wonderful art, please reply to this post or visit her journal!


whitestar/whitestar_alpha (IJ/LJ) made this year's Fantasy Fest participants banners and icons. She is a lovely, enthusiastic participant here and I hope you'll not only use her gifts, but let he know what you think of them as well. You can respond here if you like or visit Whitestar's journals.


I'm putting these up and trusting you all to be on the honor system when choosing to use these. If you haven't posted your piece at all yet, please wait to take a banner or icon. If you've at least put up a chapter and intend to finish, go ahead.

The Masterlist for Fantasy Fest will not go up until October sometime, so if you're still working on yours, you're in the grey zone. Fantasy Fest is officially over for this year, which means participants are now welcome to repost their work or archive it (like at Moonshadow).


Some links from around the journals - remember, you can always share a Snape/Lupin link with the community, whether it's your work or not.

Heads-Up (meaning this is all tentative): We are planning an Art Big Bang for the early Winter/Spring. I am resisting calling it Snupin BLU 2: Art Boogaloo.

Artists: We will be looking for your original, finished Snape/Lupin pieces. A limit has not been set yet, but we will likely allow 1-3 pieces. A single piece can include a comic or image sequence. Deadline likely to be mid-February, but this heads-up is for anyone who wishes to start now.

Writers: There will likely be at least a 5000 word minimum, one writer per piece, first come, first served claiming. Writing period will be mid-February - March 31 (I hope!). The word count is high because this is a Big Bang - the idea is to encourage quality work.

Art and stories will be archived at the Snupin Big Bang site. Remember, if you make an account at the site, you will have some control over your work there and be able to respond to comments. Work would be postable/archivable elsewhere 1 month after going live. You are likely going to have to join one of our ninja locked snupin communities to work on this Big Bang.

I'm making this early announcement so that artists can begin work whenever they have time this fall and writers can make room in their schedules this spring. I don't have any other details, but if you have questions, please ask them because you may bring up an issue we'll have to figure out. An official announcement will probably come sometime in November, after most exchange deadlines.


Annnnnd that's all I have for now! If you have any comments or questions, please let me know. Otherwise, expect McKay to run our October Fest, which I believe she will begin late this month. I'm still around, still available; I'm just utterly pressed for time and the ability to concentrate so please don't be alarmed if it takes a few days for me to get back to you. I hope this post will be spammed with comments and requests for icons, though! ♥ all of you!

love, lore

I hope it's okay to post this now... I'm really sorry for being so late, RL really got in the way, this time. And I mean Real Life, not Remus Lupin :P

Title: A fresh start
Rating: R/NC17
Word count: ~5000
Prompts: 32. Two weeks before POA start of term; staff is at school. It's hot, really, really hot. So hot, magic is static-y/unreliable. Staff is using any way they can think of to cool off. R catches S at his - be creative! Any rating, smut always welcome
48. Summer Heatwave in Hogwarts. It's getting really hot under those robes. Severus (or Remus) has found an unusual way to cool down. The other discovers it. Perhaps some teasing about this unusual way - or... blackmailing.
Warnings: Fluffy, clicheé and boring. Probably not what one would expect, looking at the prompts.

I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date!  So, my fantasy fest fic is not finished... *hangs head in shame*  But I didn't want to be a total disappointment by giving my poor prompter nothing!  Here's what I have so far.  The rest will be posted soon.  Um... forgive me?

Title: Your Secret Admirer
Author:pikkalam_sri

Rating: Pretty G so far
Word count: 745... *hides*
Prompt: S gets an anonymous V-day card (or similar love note) and assumes R is pranking him. (You chose who sent it!) S decides acting like he fell for it would be fun and would also weird R out so he goes to R and proceeds to flirt outrageously with him. R has crush on S so he responds positively which in turn confuses S. Any rating, time period or universe.
Notes: Marauder era, 6th year (before the Whomping Willow incident).  I jettisoned a bit of back story about why Lupin is in NEWTs level potions cause... yeah.  Concrit is welcome! 
Disclaimer: I disclaim.  

 

Title: Unbound
Artist: karasu_hime

I'm taking a break from Snupin Santa matching to sneak in a Fantasy Fest entry. :D


Stitch N Bitch

By: Arionrhod & McKay

Rated R

Summary: Severus takes up an unusual form of physical therapy with a bit of anonymous help from an unexpected source.

Prompt: Based on the following Fantasy Fest prompt: "Alt End for DH, no death. After Nagini's bite, S has lost much of the dexterity in his hands. A mediwitch suggests knitting for physical therapy, but S thinks it's rather stupid. When he starts getting anonymous donations of The Good Yarns (alpaca, merino, you know from who), he reconsiders."

Title: If I Kiss You, Will You Go Away?
Author: snapealina
Rating: PG?
Word count: 5121
Genre: Friendship/romance
Prompt: 5. “If I kiss you, will you go away?” No dark!fic or unhappy ending.
Disclaimer: Can I own them, pleeeeeaaaaaase? No? Oh well... guess I will just have to keep dreaming. But JK, if you change your mind, you know where to find me ;)

A/N: Thanks to all the girls in chat for good help and inspiration. Especially big thanks goes to azure_rosa for the beta and awesome cheerleading!!! I could not have finished this without you!

Title: The Pirate Ship Medusa
Pairings: Severus/Remus preslash technically?
Rating: Nc-17ish for lusty thoughts and frottage.
Author: azurerosa
AN: Many thanks to countesszero for being an awesome beta and lore for being her awesome self.
Disclaimer: If you think any of these characters are mine please tell me what world you live in so I can move there posthaste!
Summary: prompt #14. S is captain of a pirate ship, R a recently captured prisoner. Should he treat him like any other prisoner (kill, strand, ransom) or give in to the most intense attraction he's ever known? AU or maybe a vivid dream...

( The Pirate Ship Medusa )

Artist: ships_harry
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Original prompt: a13. Domestic scene in their living room or bedroom, cups of tea, books and 1 or 2 jack russell terriers cuddled up with them + cat(s) and owls (and more?).
Notes: I'm thinking of them as fairly young, here. The dog likes Lupin, a lot. Snape's more of a cat person, and has no desire to get tea on his book, particularly not this early in the morning. Lupin's owl and Snape's raven are bemused by the goings-on.

Title: under the light of the moon, there for you
Author: Diana Moon dianamoon
Rating: R
Word Count: ~100 x 4
Prompt: dd44. Full moon sex
Summary: Everyone assumed the warded field behind their house was to keep the werewolf in.
A/N: Under the extended wire! This came out vastly different than I expected when I first chose it. Though not explicit, there is werewolf sex. Unbeta'd.

Title: Life is a Compromise

Pairing(s)/character(s): Harry, Teddy, Eileen, Tobias, Tom and Albus all get mentions.
Challenge: Fantasy Fest: dd17. Remus convincing Severus to help host a party. Can be an adult or children's party. Humor please :)
Summary: Severus gets the better end of the deal + other chat drabble fancies
Disclaimer: I borrow them from JKR and put them away wet just to annoy her.
Warnings: sex toys, sticky toddlers, flying
Notes: Various word counts, but nothing more than around 300. The whole group is less than 1000 words. Even I liked some of my drabbles, which is saying something. Thanks for the great ideas and fun, chatters! Concrit and comments of any sort are welcome.

Title: Nostradamus
Challenge: dd 53 (Germany)
Rating: PG-13 for implied sexual activity
Word Count: 100
Note: the song referenced is Al Stewart's Nostradamus.


"Nostradamus," said James, stabbing at the picture in their textbook. "Even the Muggles know about him. That song Remus' mum was singing, the one about Hitler becoming a captain of great Germany - "

"The song is crap." Severus Snape, eavesdropping as usual, sneered at them over the morning paper. "The prophecies refer to the Ister River. Hitler isn't mentioned."

Sirius glared. "Mind your own business, Snivvy! Bloody know-it-all!"

"Sirius. He's right." Remus' voice was unusually stern. "You can't use those lyrics in your paper."

"Bugger."

Snape smirked. Remus smiled to himself. He couldn't wait for their next "study session."

Softie that I am, I wrote the drabblers and gave them until the end of the weekend to post their work. Karasu also picked up an extra since I did this, so if anyone else wants to try a drabble or drawable for Fantasy Fest, there is still time. But no more after Sunday!

If you want to claim a story or art piece, though, those are still open until the end of the month. You can post Fantasy Fest stories or art at any time. People with story and art prompts, don't let the end of the month Snupin_Santa sign-ups distract you - from both finishing and posting your work and signing up for snupin_santa, of course! ~_^

*****
This is short notice, but some chatters wanted to do a drabble/drawable night and Friday (like, today) was everyone in chat's choice. We'll start around 9 pm EST tonight and go until people tire of it or there's not enough players. There's no real rules, you don't have to participate in every round and if you just want to read drabbles/see art, as long as you speak up with some "like it" or "hate it" comments, you can just watch.

This means you should make sure you can get into the chat room ahead of time. You'll know you're in the right place because Snape/Lupin-related info comes up when you enter the room. Also, you'll probably see "D_M" and "Jude" in there, are they're pretty constantly logged in, even when not around. Heh.

If this time doesn't work for you, but you still want to do a drabble/drawable night in chat, get with some friends, pick a date and time and let me or the community know. You don't need me to run something like this and you can make the post for such a night on your own. But I'm happy to faciliate both notice and the night itself if I'm available.

*****

If you have previously created calendar art for either our print or desktop projects and wish to send me a clean (date-free, month title can stay) version of it, or just a reply with your permission to use existing clean art, please e-mail me at the mod mail. I'll be contacting everyone via email this fall, but you can save me steps if you see this and have time to deal with it now. Thanks!

As sign-ups begin for many holiday exchanges, I hope you'll all pace yourself, have a wonderful time, and ask for and receive Snape/Lupinyour heart's desire! ~_^
