Severus Sighs

Make sure to get your fics and art to the Webmistresses by Wednesday, the 10th. If you need any last minute beta help, feel free to comment here. In the meantime, order your black roses, pour out the champagne and get your dungeon ready.

Posting begins Friday!

Thank you to everyone who participated in Severus' Birthday Challenge. The masterlist to all the lovely fics and art are below the cut.

"You're exaggerating," WhiteCotton said in disbelief and watched as Severus shook his head, thoroughly depressed.

He crossed his legs, drawing the eyes of the Webmistresses and said, "I assure you I am not."

"Surely it hasn't been that long," snow said, trying to steal a glimpse between Severus' thighs.

In response Severus pulled out a bottle of lubricant and squeezed slowly, as if for effect, and sighed as nothing but dried dust came out.

"It can dry up?" Torina whispered to thesewarmstars, who nodded sadly.

"And to make matters worse," Severus said in a low tone so that all four ladies leaned in to listen, "I'll be fifty on Saturday."

WhiteCotton sputtered and Torina let out a little gasp while snow put down her glass with a bang.

"Well, that settles it," she said. "Let's celebrate it with a bang."

"Indeed," said WhiteCotton, adjusting Severus' neckcloth. "A gang-bang will clear your pipes of dust perfectly."

Severus scoffed for show, but couldn't hide the hopeful look in his eyes.


So, ready for a little challenge are we? Think we can delve a little into Severus' *sighs* world and pull out something for his 50th birthday?

The Webmistresses would like to thank those authors and artists who participated in this year's Author and Artist Interviews.

You have our deepest gratitude and can now consider yourselves free to leave the dungeon. There are potions and salves for the rope burns, wine and brandy in the lounge, and you may keep the shackles.

We hope you all -- participants and members -- enjoyed the interviews, as we certainly did. Our thanks also to those members who read and commented.

All,

While everyone is waiting for the Holidays Fests to start (but before the Americans have to endure family on Thanksgiving), the Webmistresses thought we'd like to see a bit of smut flying around.

Which means Tuesday night is kink!night!

Members,

After getting hold of some ... ehm ... interesting photos and using them as ... er ... as an enticement, the last in the 2009 Author and Artist Interviews is with dementordelta.

Members,

After someone much more suitable dropped out, and because we didn’t have time to find a real author, the next one in the 2009 Author and Artist Interviews is with whitecotton.

Members,

After many day of plying her with chocolate and roses, the next in the 2009 Author and Artist Interviews is littleblackbow.

Members,

After much whipping and paddling, the third in the 2009 Author and Artist Interviews is with gingertart50.

Members,

We are delighted to present our second instalment of the 2009 Author and Artist Interviews.

After just one intensive whipping session, accioslash agreed to let us play with her pencils.

Members,

We are delighted to open the 2009 Author and Artist Interviews with the author RaeWhit (joanwilder), who agreed -- after surprisingly weak blackmail -- to let us play with her skeletons.

Have you ever read a story so wonderful you wished you could follow the author home and pester them with questions about the smallest details of their work?

Perhaps you wished to ask RaeWhit what influenced 'Down the Rabbit Hole,' or Gildedheart what influences her version of Severus, or what DementorDelta was thinking when she wrote 'Parseltongue-Tied.' Or perhaps a general question for every author, such as, 'my God, where did that genius idea come from and should I be afraid of you?'

The Webmistresses of SeverusSighs have read through some of the greatest Severus-centric works on offer and dragged their authors—kicking, screaming and quite a few from a nice meal—to the Lounge. We then broke out our big, happy heat lamp, tied them to a chair—to keep them from falling off, of course—and proceeded to ask questions about our favorite stories.

We've interrogated...er...interviewed five authors and two artists: joanwilder[RaeWhit], accioslash, jadzialove, gingertart, gildedheart, dementordelta and our own whitecotton. Over the coming week we will be proud to bring you their interviews, posted to the group and our Insane Journal account, where follow-up questions for the authors are welcome.

End note: please do not feed the authors and artists while you are in the Lounge. And if they start to cry and beg to be released, just tell them to have another drink. We left them enough for the week so they shouldn't be complaining.

The Webmistresses of SeverusSighs

Attention, members and fen! SeverusSighs will be having its first meet-up in Austin, Texas on Saturday, October the 24th.

Prepare yourself for a night of drunken debauchery! This will be a night you'll be telling your children about...

*thinks*

On second thought, this will be a night you will be paying others not to tell your children about for the rest of your life. Be prepared for the night to begin with a casual dinner before we proceed to a bar, then the seedy underbelly of Austin's sex dungeons.

*mutters to thesewarmstars*

What do you mean there are no Austin sex dungeons? What did we move here for, then?

*sighs*

Okay, so no dungeons, but there will be debauchery. Anyone who is interested and would like details, please comment to this post with your email.

Details will come as we make arrangements with restaurants, bar owners, sheep farmers, etc.

The points have been tallied, re-tallied, lost, set on fire (luckily snow was around to freeze it, but we had to get WhiteCotton-The-Accelerant away), then tallied one final time.

The results for the House Cup are finally in! After one long year, many drabble challenges, cock rings and butt plugs, and several mentions of *shudders* Drarry, we are finally ready to bestow honors upon...
