Snarry Holidays

Happy November 16th! Your assignments are due today - if we haven't heard from you yet, we need to do so ASAP.

We are always happy to grant extensions, but if you need an extension, you need to ask us for an extension - your mods, contrary to popular belief, are not psychic, and do not know what you need unless you e-mail them.

snarryholiday@gmail.com for all assignment submissions and extension requests - and please include your user name (the one you used when you originally signed up, unless you've notified us of a user name change) so that we don't have to spend hours trying to figure out who snarryluver4ever@yahoo.com is.

Thanks for all the hard work you've put into making this a great fest - now all we have to do is get ready to enjoy all the wonderful Snarry! :)

This is a friendly reminder that all gifts are due to us Monday, November 16, unless you are pinch-hitting or have already requested an extension. If you need an extension or think you might, please email us at snarryholiday [at] gmail [dot] com.

We are here to answer any questions you might have!

First, a gentle reminder to all participants ... There are just over three weeks until submissions are due!

Second, we still need pinch-hitters ... please sign up here if you are willing and able to pinch hit for us this year!

Hi everyone! In a month and a little under a week (Nov 16!) your assignments are due.

When submitting your fic or art, please include this header with the document.

If you have any questions about the templates or about your assignment, email us at snarryholiday [at] gmail [dot] com or comment below.

Hey everyone! We've already had some people express interest in pinch-hitting -- well, now is your chance to sign-up. We'll definitely need some back-up writers and artists on hand, as we'll undoubtedly have a few drop-outs during the course of the fest. Hopefully all of our artists and writers are busily and happily working on their creations for this holiday, but real life crises do crop up. If you do have to drop out, we'd appreciate it if you let us know as soon as possible.

Those who are worked into the fest within the next few weeks will become full participants (who will both write/draw a customized gift and receive one), so if you missed your chance to sign-up but would still like to participate, you may still have a chance if there are any early assignment problems/drop-outs.

Please fill out the form completely, including a working e-mail address. Thank you all in advance. We love our pinch-hitters! :)

If anyone is interested in betaing, we still need beta volunteers. Go sign-up here!

Hi everyone.

There are still a few people who haven't confirmed their assignments. I've just sent out emails to everyone we haven't heard from. If you've not received an assignment, please let us know ASAP.

We'll give it a day or so, and then we'll post a list of the people we've not yet heard from. At some point in the near future, we'll have to assume you've dropped out, so please get in touch with us.

On that note, if anyone has run into any problems or just has questions for us, shoot an email over to snarryholiday [at] gmail [dot] com.

Thanks, again, to everyone for participating, and we hope you have fun creating your gifts.

If you haven't already done so, please send us a quick email to let us know you've received your assignment.

We are extending sign-ups for snarry_holidays for two more days. Sign-ups will now close on Friday, August 28 at 9PM EST.

Sign-ups are here!

Thanks to the fabulous jin_fenghuang, we have a new banner for this year's fest! It includes some of the work which was created for last year's round - art credits go to the lovely artists jin_fenghuang, venturous, sealcat, and umbrus, who were kind enough to let us use their art! Go over here to check out the full-sized images and leave the artists a comment or thirty if you like their work. :)

Without any further ado, here is our banner - please feel free to use it as you pimp our fest!

Author: unbroken_halo
Giftee: umbrus
Word Count: ~9000
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Snarry
Warnings: All things asked for by the recipient, and a few more thrown in for good measure. Completely AU, although I picked some canon facts here and there as needed. *g* Snark, innuendo, implied-wife swapping, a smidgen of violence, rimming, tiny bit of biting and hair pulling, jealous-obsessive-possessive-parsel!smut.

Title: The White Road
Author: perverse_idyll
Giftee: florahart
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 45,044
Pairing: Snape/Harry, also Lily/Snape in a totally unconsummated sense, Lily/James
Warnings: Hettishness but no outright heterosex, voyeurism, accidental incestuous overtones, a bloody moment. I'm sure, in some universe, this is epilogue compliant.
Disclaimer: Is not, never was, never will be, mine
Summary: One day, comfortably set up in the afterlife, Lily Evans Potter switches on the telly and gets hooked on the Harry Potter show.
A/N: So, this was supposed to be short and cracky. The Muse apparently had other plans. Dear Flora, I truly did start out with your requests in mind, but the fic wandered far afield. I hope you enjoy where it ultimately ended up. Thanks to L for encouraging me to change horses midstream and for urging me to sing, R for reading the early fragments and loving them. The mods have been unbelievably kind about my deadline panic. Absolutely every single mistake here is of my own making.
