How you found the community or the earliest community experience you can remember: Probably at least three years now, I originally joined on livejournal - but I seem to recall that I was shipping Snupin even back in high school, which means it's probably been closer to four years. Huh.
Why you ship Snape/Lupin: There are a lot of reasons, really, lol. I think I was originally drawn to the ship because the quality of fic and art in the snupin communities was so much higher than in a lot of other ship communities. And, basically... well, Remus is the only person I can think of with the patience to actually put up with a lover like Severus. And I think that secretly, Severus really needs someone who can 'put up' with/ support him that way.
