Thank you! I felt like one of the sub-themes of the fest was the idea of bringing some hope and happiness to characters who don't always get that, so I wanted the Snapes, dysfunctional as they have been, to have an opportunity to touch that sort of hope.
There has been a bumper crop of Eileen/Toby, hasn't there? I think it's wonderful! I didn't see much of it before this fest, but there have been some wonderful treatments of it here.
