Thank you, oh noble avian opponent! Actually, once I'd got scorpion!Snape, he kind of took over and wrote himself. It just took a damn long time for the bunny to bite, I very nearly dropped out in despair. But we got there in the end, hurrah. Isn't this a wonderful fest? Such talent (and talons), such brilliance (especially on a Burning Day) and such an exciting competition! I haven't read the last 2 fics yet. Squeee!
