Looking to play Teen Snape Name: Shiva
Age: Old enough to know better, but still too young to care. (Don't worry, I'll meet your age requirements -- probably twice over -- since I'm well over 30.)
Contact: Comments, please.
Fandom: Harry Potter
Genre: Marauder Era AU
Character: Severus Snape
PB Preference: Jake Richardson (although if he is taken, I'm open to suggestions)
My Snape is your basic nerd. If he'd been a Muggle, he would have been a chemist or physicist (or both). He's also a proto-Goth. His fascination with the Dark Arts is ananlogous to your typical emo Muggle teenage boy carrying around a well-thumbed copy of
The Anarchist Cookbook, with his potion and curse experimentation replacing dabbling in bombs. In other words, he's mostly harmless, but he relishes the
appearance of being bad, and he manages to get in over his head with the Death Eaters because of that.
Format: No -- I repeat,
NO -- AIM. Journals/Threads only. I don't like messaging programs, and I won't use them at all -- even for required game plotting chats or stuff. This is the one area in which I'm entirely inflexible.
Journal Preference: IJ >>> LJ. I'll
look at LJ games, but I'm not crazy about LJ, and your game will have to
really blow me away for me to consider playing on LJ.
Experience: I've been RPing off and on for 10+ years. Unfortunately, most of my threads were on GJ and have been comment-rotted to death. :-( I can e-mail other samples upon request, although I'd rather just include them in an application.
One Last Thing: I'm looking for a Marauder Era AU for a reason. IMO, Snape got a raw deal in the books, and I'd like to give him a better life. I'm not
necessarily looking for Snily, but rather a chance to repair their friendship (if post-5th year), or possibly not have it end in the first place (if pre-5th year). That said, I wouldn't consider the possibility of Snily to be out of the question, either.
