First off, thanks to everyone who participated in the Dark Side of Snupin challenge last month! I'm sure Lee is going to pull together a masterlist, but if you're running behind, it's not too late to slip some darkness in to make the list, so don't be shy.
Meanwhile, it's time for the rest of us to shake off the shadows to tackle our June Challenge:
Fairy Tales!
For our purposes, you could produce adaptions of existing fairy and folk tales or create an original tale. Creations may depict traditional fairy tale styles, such as in the prose or art style, or elements from fairy/folk tales may be used in a contemporary way.
Any and all creative and academic pursuits with a Snape/Lupin focus are always welcome for any monthly challenge. Some examples of what you might consider creating: Art, stories, drabbles, icons, photomanips, thematic lists, paper dolls, essays, discussions, sculpture, craft projects, etc. If someone would like to start a casting post on the group (which HP characters you'd cast in which roles for Cinderella, for example), maybe someone who's wanted to participate more actively but doesn't have time for other creative pursuits(?), please feel free!
The deadline for submissions to the challenge is June 30. However, if you find you're running late, remember that you're always welcome to post a submission to any previous challenge at any time. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I can't wait to see all your once upon a times!
***** I've talked about OpenID before and linked it to the profile pages of both Lupin_Snape communities. I get the impression most people aren't using it. However, if you would like to use it and are having trouble, please let me know and I'll see what I can do to help. This is the last time I'm going to mention OpenID. We'll be relying on people to read the community profile page, which everyone should read before joining the community. ~_^
***** Now that pervy_werewolf's Lusty Month of May is over, as well as the Dark Side challenge, it's time to remind everyone that anyone can auto archive fic at Moonshadow. I believe art can be archived there by emailing the pieces to the site administrator, but fic is archived instantly.
Moonshadow is the archive dedicated to Lupin/Snape, maintained by xochiquetzl and several volunteers. Anyone can archive Lupin/Snape pieces at Moonshadow. Writers don't have to create an account or go through a process - just use the interface and see your fic on the archive. Any fic length is accepted (100-word minimum) and all ratings of fic and art as well.
***** Mod to-do list: Put Up Masterlists. Yes, I have a few (more) backlogged. Edit Links Lists on Both comms. Put Lupin_Snape Mood Theme on IJ. Funtime Book (oy!) Am I forgetting something? The list is shorter, I swear!
And that's it for now. Have a fabulous June, everyone! *loves wonderful community members*
