Snapedom

I recently emailed Bloodcult of Freud to ask if there was any chance of “Seven Preposterous Things” being finished. The author pled real life and other writing, but also said, “The dwindling feedback was a factor in the stalling of the story.” You have to join Digital Quill to leave a review (which wasn’t always the case--as I pointed out to BcoF a possible reason for dwindling). However, you can, as I belatedly realized, email BcoF directly with feedback. It’s a marvelous AU (from the end of HBP)—featuring Severus/Hermione and Draco/Millicent. Great characterizations (Millie is the best, but they’re all good), wonderful dialogue, an interesting and different Pureblood culture, a plot that twists from hysterically funny to tragic to sexy unexpectedly… really you want to read it. And having started it, you will, really truly, need to see it carried to completion. So go read it, and then let Bloodcult know you’re not content to be abandoned. BCoF’s own warnings on the story were:
Dark Comedy and Angst. Graphic Sex, Character Death, Pimples, Gore and Unflattering Characterizations.
Not a one of which were inaccurate. So now go read. Or reread. Bloodcult of Freud, Seven Preposterous Things

Still way behind in my reading (and much else) so I have only a few recs today. A snarry, a snupin and I swear I'll get it together again. Hopefully.

I haven't kept up with the snarry_games this week - I've done nothing this week. *sigh* However, here a few recs I gathered last weekend.

To prove that I really have been in a depressing mood glum hibernation this week, there's only a few recs. But there's art as well as fic today, yay!

I'm posting this fic rec on Hwyla's behalf, as she doesn't havr an LJ or IJ. It was originally posted as a comment on my entry: "Snape and his women". The rec below is taken verbatim from Hwyla's comment.
Rec for The Birthday Present by excessivelyperky.
EDIT: Totalreadr from LL has asked me to add a prostitution warning, and I'd like to direct you to her comment about sex/romance below. Thanks totalreadr - I appreciate people pointing me to warnings that have been missed.
Also warning for abuse including sexual abuse, and angst.
Elethian also points out that the fic is a massive total of ~800,000 words - see Elethian's comment below.

[...] I thought that since I was reminded of the fic I want to suggest by this subject (Snape's friendships - with Minerva and Poppy in particular) I would post it here in this section. In other words, these posts here are what reminded me of this particular fic. And a great deal of the fic is about Snape beginning to understand what it means to have true friends and truly BELIEVE they CARE for him (not pity him). It is also about the people who care for him, opening their eyes and truly seeing HIS situation.

It's AU since she began it just before HBP (bk6) and finished it just around the time DH (bk7) came out. So, canon up to the end of OotP (bk5). Because of this, Snape's background is different but with a few similarities (pureblood, but grew up on Knockturn Alley, still poor, but I'll let you read it to see the difference in abuse, etc.) And has one of the most original ideas I've read for Snape's 'nasty' disposition.

I read it faithfully, as it came out - week by week (more or less) have reread it several times since then and cried over it many times. No love interests for Snape, no lemony sex - mention of very underage slash with undertones of abuse and also of outright sexual abuse pre-Hogwarts.

Hope some of you might enjoy it! -- Hwyla

A marvelous snupin story, and a couple of snarry stories:

It's been a quiet week (or maybe it just seems that way becasue I've been a little unwell.) Here are some snarry_games recs, and a rec for a now-completed snupin multi-chaptered illustrated story that is guaranteed to make you smile - the story is wonderful, and the art is great (points to pretty icon).

I've been a bit obsessed with the snarry_games, and am missing my snupin rec time, so I'll sneak a little snupin and a snape rarepair into today's snarry_games-focused rec. (Must search around for other Snape slash pairing fics soon, and/or read some Snape/Hermione fics - I'm so snarry/snupin focused, that I've been guilty of ignoring other pairings. It has always been my intent to rec more than just my OTP and favoured pairings.)

Hello everyone, well I finally got an IJ account so I decided to head over to this community and belatedly thank you all for lightening my mood after the release of Deathly Hallows which disappointed me so much on so many levels. I can't believe it's been two years already.

And just to make this post a little more legitimate, I give you this little fic I wrote at that time:

THE OTHER WORLD (click)
rating: PG
words: 2994
characters: Severus Snape, others mentioned
genre: general, humor
summary: Some time after the events of the Deathly Hallows, Severus Snape gets a look at his own, very much unauthorized, biography

Keep cool, Snapedom!

An overload of snarry fic and art recs from this year's snarry_games. A corresponding dearth of snupin and other pairings.

A big snarry, a little snarry and three snupin recs.

EDIT: Sylvana, I'm sorry, I've f___ked-up the tags. *sigh* Would you mind removing the 'fannish magic' tag. Sorry. *blush*

Only two to rec today - the accursed server at Google.docs won't let me in, so I can't access the recs I had prepared for this week.

Snupin:

>> Slippery when frozen by bonfoi.
Rating: NC-17. Warning/s: dirty talk, alpha!Remus. Summary: During the war, two spies have their own way of communing.
A truly delicious contrast of extremes, ice and heat. Increasingly under pressure in his role as spy, Severus' needs Remus, and Remus seeks to give Severus exactly what he needs and desires.
Bonfoi writes the iceplay beautifully, it's divinely sexy. Do go have a look.


>> The Secret Notebook Of Hebi no Komori by dingochow.
Rating: NC-17. Warning: very mild possible dun/con; monster-sex; rimming; oral; anal; some role playing and fantasy play. NWS notebook described. Prompt: S. is manga artist. R. is manga character. Panel-breaking hijinks ensue.

My third rec for one of dingochow's stories, The Secret Notebook of Hebi no Komori is an AU with Snape a mangaka (manga artist), persuaded by his assistant to try his hand at a werewolf manga. Snape is inspired by the werewolf notion.... and one night his werewolf comes to life. This is gorgeous reading - funny, sexy and interesting. It's a witty parody of manga paradigms, but lovely reading even if you have no interest in manga. I do love the way dingochow writes - marvelous sex scenes, fascinating plot-lines and sharp, witty dialogue. Brilliant - you'll love it, I'm sure.

Lots and lots of snupin recs and a couple of recs for snarry stories:

I haven't done any recs in a while but I have a fic on the brain like I haven't in ages. The talented dementordelta has painted a gorgeous picture in her reworking of The Scarlet Pimpernel the aptly titled, The Black Asphodel. The language she uses and the rich attention to detail are remarkable. Of course Delta also has a gift for Snarry, hitting both Harry and Severus right on the head with regard to their characterization even if the setting is so very unique. And for those who prefer a higher rating to their fic, you won't be disappointed. ;) Quite possibly one of my all time favorite AU/AR fics.

I am also reccing two short ficlets written by none other than serial reccer red_day_dawning. What's remarkable is that they are both Snarry rather than Snupin. I know Red has been trying to resist the pull of this pairing but when she writes it so well it would seem resistance is futile.

Last one is for a single hundred word drabble, a rarepair of Severus/Neville, and a kink that many consider a squick, watersports. However, I adored prayer_at_night's drabble, Golden Shower. If you are willing to take a chance, you just might find it as enjoyable as I did.

A massively huge fic rec posting today - with a snupin series, some snarry stories and a most unexpected and not-to-be-missed ethereal pairing.
