The Lupin/Snape Lurve Community

Okay, I've gone through and switched most of the 2008 gifts to the author/artist, but there were a few I wasn't sure of, so those won't be flipped until I know what account, if any, to switch the gift to. Please check here to make certain your story/art has been switched to the right account!

If you have any older stories/art from a previous year's fest that you want switched to your account, now is the time to tell me! You can check here to see what's still listed under the Snupin Santa account. You'll need to give me your user ID on the site and a link to the story/art you want switched.

Once a post is switched to your account, you can edit the text and header info to add a time period, genre, etc. You'll also receive feedback notifications by email, and you can answer feedback to your story/art. Please don't forget to check the gift post on IJ/LJ for feedback as well!

( Playtime )

Here it is - the master list of gifts posted in the Snupin Santa 2008 Fest! All gifts are listed in the order in which they were posted.

Gifts marked with an asterisk were included in the "Hot Rec/Hot Art" section of the Daily Snitch newsletter, although some might not have appeared yet because I just sent them in today.

The general stats are at the bottom of the post.

I added the names of those authors/artists who were attributed to each gift beneath, and the list of those who voted correctly is below. The results were quite interesting, especially when people who weren't in the fest were given votes, and one participant was voted as having written for herself. *G*

ATTENTION 2008 PARTICIPANTS:

Now that the master list is up, I'm going to work on switching the gifts to the creator's account. I'm not sure how long it will take, but I'll let everyone know when I'm finished. In addition to being able to edit your stories/art at the site, you'll receive comment notifications for new feedback if you've turned on that option for your account, and you'll be able to respond to feedback left in response to the story/art.

If you want your story/art switched to your account, you need to let me know what your account name on the Snupin Santa site is ASAP, especially if it's different from your IJ/LJ ID. If you've participated in previous years and want your older stories/art switched to your account, leave a comment identifying which stories you want switched with a link.

Also, if you have not said thank you for your gift(s) yet, PLEASE DO SO. Someone did their best to create something, and it deserves to be acknowledged in some way, even if it's just "Thank you, I appreciate the effort you made for me".

Thanks again to all participants, pinch hitters, readers, reccers, and commenters! Double thanks to kopernik, real_life_rosy, and jedirita for helping out this year! Snupin Santa 2008 produced some wonderful stories and art, and I'm proud that it was a successful fest this year.

See you again for Snupin Santa 2009!

ETA: @11:00 EST (GMT -5), the poll is officially closed so that I can begin compiling the results! Please do not cast anymore votes as they will not be counted.

Just for fun, I thought we'd have a poll so people could guess who created which story/art. The answers will be hidden, so you can't see what others guessed, and the poll will remain open until January 7, when the master list is posted.

Simply type the name of the author/artist you think created a particular piece in the text box. Stories and art are listed in alphabetical order, and you can refresh your memory about the gifts by visiting the 2008 category on the Snupin Santa site.

If you wrote/drew a gift and you identify yourself as the author/artist, your vote doesn't count! Ditto if you were a beta-reader.

Icons, by geminia905 and scribbulus_ink, for the participants of Snupin Santa 2008.

These icons are ONLY for the use of Snupin Santa participants, including pinch hitters. Please do not take or use them if you did not partiicpate in Snupin Santa 2008.

This is the final gift of the Snupin Santa 2008 Fest! Thanks to everyone who participated, to everyone who commented on and recced the gifts to give our participants some holiday cheer, and to the Snupin Santa mod elves, who made running the fest so much easier and smoother for me this year.

I'm going to put together a guessing poll and will post it shortly.

The master list will be posted on January 7, so you've still got plenty of time to enjoy the gifts while they're still anonymous! After the 7th, all participants will be free to archive their story/art anywhere they like.

Hired Hands (and Willing Wands), for the participants of Snupin Santa 2008
Rated: NC17
Pairing: Remus/OMC

And Days of Auld Lang Syne, for scribbulus_ink
Rated: NC17
Pairings: Severus/Regulus, Remus/Severus/Regulus
Content: frottage, biting, oral, anal, rimming, furniture abuse, rope bondage, threesome, angst, hurt/comfort, non-sexual violence
Summary: After Regulus died, Severus began receiving letters from a mysterious "friend" at random intervals. Oddly enough, he also began running into Remus Lupin at similarly random intervals. As the world falls to pieces around them, can Severus trust words on parchment, or a werewolf's motives?
Word count: 40638

Untitled, for wolfiefics
Rated: work safe
Summary: Wolfiefics asked for a illustration of one of her fics. I chose "Bus Stop": http://www.ssf-moonshadow.com/archive/archive/8/busstop.html. The illustration is Remus arguing with a character called Toby. She also asked for just a nice romantic RL/SS.

All That's Best of Dark and Bright, for karasu_hime
Rated: NC17
Warning: gender-switch
Summary: Severus is cursed to turn into a woman each night, but lifting such a spell proves more difficult than anyone can imagine.
Word count: 11028

Cigarette, for maggie_umbra
Rated: work safe
Summary: When he turned back Snape had lit a cigarette and was staring at him coldly.

Taste, for snegurochka_lee
Rated: NC17
Warnings: Canon character deaths, explicit bestiality, slight bondage, alpha!Remus and a little blood.
Summary: Severus has never forgotten the taste of the honey-tasting kiss Remus gave him on a warm spring day at Hogwarts. But there is more to Remus than honey and kisses and sweetness. Severus realises that when Albus Dumbledore wants him to play errand boy and deliver Wolfsbane to Lupin the day before full moon.
Word count: 16524

Two Drawings for "Falconlord", for vibishan
Rated: work safe
Summary: Characters: Remus Lupin as the noble knight cursed to pace the darkness as a wolf, Harry Potter as his faithful young friend, and Severus Snape as his true love cursed to remain a Falcon in the light of day.

Words Left Unspoken, for leakywitch
Rated: R
Summary: How many times can a man lose almost everything and move on?
Word count: 2892

Lycanthrope's Curse, for xterm
Rated: mildly NWS, suggestion/hint of torture.
Summary: Lupin hates Snape for killing Dumbledore. Snape hates werewolves. That gives Lupin the perfect revenge.

Remus in Heat, for jassanja
Rated: NC17
Warning: Light bondage
Summary: Snupin Santa for Jassanja based on promp #3, "3) S enters R's rooms to find him wanking and/or frotting against a pillow. R won't stop as S starts to snark around. After some time S finds out that some magic went wrong, and that this is the reason of the ongoing show. Please make it very snarky"
Word count: 1249

I ask for so little/As the world falls down, for real_life_rosy
Rated: work safe
Genre: crossover
Prompt: Snupin meets Labyrinth. Snape as the Goblin King, including Jareth's hair, pants, and boots.

Love's Letters Lost, for blue_cage

Word count: 1734

Wedding Bell Blues, for arionrhod
Rated: PG
Warnings: extreme snark and a bridezilla.
Pairing: Remus/Tonks
Summary: A best man has many duties. Including keeping the groom from making the mistake of his life.
Word count: 8826

Forbidden Passion: A Soap Opera in Five Acts, for westernredcedar
Rated: NC17
Pairing: Snape/Lupin, with significant appearances by Madam Rosmerta and Dumbledore
Warnings: LGBT and homophobia themes. Marginal Snape het.
Summary: "Remus Lupin is a professor at this school now, and you will treat him respectfully," Dumbledore had told Snape. But setting aside the fact that Lupin could still, in Snape's opinion, transform and attack the children, the man was also running around the school flaunting the fact that he was an inappropriately dressed, limp-wristed, arse-docking bloody queen. That was the one offence Snape would absolutely not abide.
Word count: 41253

Birthday Kiss, for midnight_birth
Rated: mildly NWS
Summary: The door swung open and Remus couldn't help but reel back from Severus's furious expression. The latter's hair and clothed were disheveled, and he was covered in some kind of white powder and something red and sticky. Remus had seen the look a few times before, and it meant no good. Something had gone horribly wrong, he could just sense it.
Before Remus got as much as a "hello" out, he was pulled in and the door was slammed shut behind him.

"You don't usually come home so early," Severus growled, practically ripping Remus's coat off. He turned Remus around to face him and pressed their lips together. The kiss had potential to turn passionate, but it was over almost as soon as it began.

The Gryffindor Gambit, for drachenmina
Rated: NC17
Other pairing: Remus/Charlie

FIXES:
The end of All a Wolf Wants to Sniff for Christmas has been fixed.

Chapter 4 of Ghost in the Machine has been fixed; the cut-off ending has been moved to chapter 5.


RECS:
Don't forget! If you've recced any Snupin Santa gifts, please drop me a link here on IJ or here on LJ! I'll be gathering recs for the Daily Snitch newsletter all month long.

One of the editors of snapenews asked if I would send the Snupin Santa recs to them as well, so I've begun submitting recs to both newsletters.


FEEDBACK:
I know it's a hectic time for a lot of people, but please don't forget to leave a comment if you liked a story or artwork! Between the holidays and fest overload, feedback tends to drop off towards the end of December, which can be disappointing for those whose works are posted during that time, so let's see if we can give them as much love as we gave the works posted at the beginning of the fest when everyone was excited. ;) It doesn't have to be lengthy; a quick "I enjoyed this!" will go far in making someone's holidays a little brighter.

Remember: no gifts will be posted on December 25, posting will end on December 30, and the master list will be posted on January 7, so you'll have time to catch up while the gifts are still anonymous.

Singularity, for snapelike
Rated: PG13
Warnings: AU, brief discussion of (past) prostitution
Summary: When Albus Dumbledore asks him to succeed him as Chief Executive, the last thing Severus expects to encounter is Versace model and spokesman, Remus Lupin.

Waterfronts and Alleyways, for maraudersaffair
Rated: PG
Content: AU
Summary: Snape knew he should have gone home, but with a beautiful woman asking for his help from some of the most dangerous men in town, he was powerless to resist. He hadn't planned on the journalist getting involved, but he was in to deep now to stop anything.
