Dear Remus/Dear Severus

My rec @ LJ comm Crack_Broom of...

Title: Liberation of the Elephants, or How England Learnt to Love the Machine & The Clock (inspiring art)

Author: Snapelike author page @ Snupin Big Bang: Bigger, Longer, Uncut ~ Art Focus (2011) | Snapelike @ IJ | Snapelike @ LJ

Artist: Shadowycat artist/author page @ Snupin Big Bang: Bigger, Longer, Uncut | Shadowycat @ IJ

These two created one of my favorite pieces at BLU2. The sense of adventure is just amazing and the romance? Ah, the thunderstorm over my head is a clear indication of the power of it!

If you haven't already, please go and enjoy this and the other collaborations of BLU2, and, of course, the first BLU celebration.

Just a note to say that I have incorporated my Snupin Santa gift by the fabulous fabledtruant into my fic, The Lightkeeper. It is a perfect, gorgeous, utterly fantastic illustration of the haircutting scene in Part 3.

Thank you thank you thank you, fabledtruant for my priceless gift!

Snape's Apothecary Extraordinaire! for bonfoi

From: Your Secret Snupin Santa

Summary: Prompt: 1) ART: Advertising poster a la 1920 Art Nouveau with phrases like “Snape's Laconic Tinctures: Try one, you won't be raving for days.” or “Snape's Todger Toffy: Smear it on. Rub it in. Enjoy the Sensation!” or “Reinforce Your Slytherin Tendencies With The Brew That Is True ~ The ale that makes Gryffindors pale, Hufflepuffs cringe, and Ravenclaws stupid!” Remus is the model for S. Snape, Apothecary Extraordinaire.

Rated: On the Nice List (G)

Warnings: none

Notes: I did a lot of art for this partly because I loved what I found of Art Nouveau on the web, which jarred my distant memories of college Graphic Art courses, and so I did a lot of experimenting and loved several of the pieces and couldn't decide which ones not to include. I enjoyed very much creating them and I hope Bonfoi and anyone else who sees these posters will love them as much as i do! ^_^

Mod note: Bonfoi, your Santa made you two gifts, but due to various circumstances I was not able to post them together on the same day, so today is part two. Enjoy!

Artists and Authors, please hold off on reposting your work until November. Remember, you can always respond to the comments left for you on the site, and you should also check the LJ/IJ/DW entries, as there might be comments there as well.

Viewers and Readers - Now is your time! These artists and authors have either been waiting months for you to see their work or they stepped in at the last minute to create amazing pieces in a short amount of time. In other words, they're all more than deserving of hearing from you if you go view their work. Remember, even a one-word post like "Thanks!" means the world to creators.

Also, remember, on the BLU site, the printer icon at the top left gives you a print-friendly version of the work to save or print.

I think that's it! I want to again deeply thank all the artists and writers that were involved in BLU2, as well as those of you who have commented already. Without you all, none of this crazy, mixed-up fandom stuff works. If you have any questions or needs, please let me know. Otherwise, all that's left is the hugging: *HUGS ALL*

Title: A Little Magic/Too little, but not too late
Artist/Author: Karasu_hime/Dungeons_Master
Rating: Art - G, Story - NC17
Word Count: ~8400
Summary (art): Remus and Severus have been shrunk. Remus is researching while Severus angrily tries to cast counter-spells. Sirius looms in the background.
Summary (story): Once again, Remus finds himself in trouble because Sirius can't keep his mouth shut. Severus is not pleased, but Remus will find a way to show him that there can be good in every circumstance.

Mod Notes: Karasu's third and final piece for BLU2. Read her artist notes; she cooked this piece up for some interesting reasons. We have to convince her to post an art sequence someday, showing the progress of a piece from concept to finished work. I've seen her in action and it's truly something to behold!

Dungeons_Master is another writer that we usually only see a few times a year, but her writing improves almost every time she posts. It's been exciting to watch her work develop and grow. She lives in Italy and is an excellent baker, which I know because the pictures she takes of her sweets look so yummy. ^_^

Title: Observing Chess/Once again, and always
Artist/Author: Shadowycat/Bookofjude
Rating: Art - G, Story - PG13
Word Count: ~7800
Summary (art): Snape and McGonagall are playing chess while Lupin looks on.
Summary (story): Things always happen in the background. What lies behind Remus Lupin's scars?

Mod Notes: Shadowycat's fourth and final art piece in BLU2. She continued to work on this piece and sent me an update well after the art deadline because she just wasn't satisfied with one detail in the piece. Now you know what high attention and level of detail she puts into her work, too!

In fact, her work made a perfect match with Bookofjude, who is a careful, detailed writer in his own right. He has just a few pieces for Snape/Lupin under his belt, but he hangs out with us in the Lupin_Snape Chat Room almost daily and always tries to be helpful with the technical aspects of IRC. Please give him a warm reception for his work on BLU2!

love, lore

Our next piece will be posted on or before Monday. There is no set posting schedule.

Title: Clock/Liberation of the Elephants...
Artist/Author: Shadowycat/Snapelike
Rating: Art - G, Story - R
Word Count: ~30,000
Summary (story): On the brink of war with the usurper Archduchess Bellatrix of Azkaban, England plans the defence against its neighbouring country. A small squadron of brave captains and their sentient airships are the weak bulwark against the potential enemy in the north. But as escapees from the Azkaban revolution arrive, Admiral Severus Snape finds his band of brothers strengthened as the most unlikely reinforcement arrives: a refugee who turns out to be none other than the former Azkaban Rear Admiral Remus Lupin, a famous werewolf.

Mod Notes: As I mentioned before, Shadowycat is an accomplished author as well as an artist. If you'd like to read more of her work (which isn't all Snape/Lupin *gasp*), take a peek into her LJ memories. Snapelike has been writing Snape/Lupin for several years, although she's also well known as one of the first Snape/Lucius superfans. She stepped in to write late in this process and swore the story would only be the minimum word count. Oops. Be sure to let her and Shadowy know if you visit their works!

Summary: They led each other to make corruptive decisions from the very beginning.

Mod Notes: Zhyn is an incredible artist whom I'm always happy to coach out into the open. She's made memorable holiday art for the community and is always full of infectious enthusiasm for Snape/Lupin. Socks4Dobby is making her community project debut with this piece. She's signed up for Snupin Santa and we can't wait to see more from her!

Summary: Severus finds himself turned into a merman, and Remus proves to be equally distracting and helpful in their efforts to change Severus back.

Mod Notes: This both Fabledtruant and Nimrod_9's first BLU! Fabled has been delighting us with her work for a little over a year now. Nimrod's first story was posted by me because she didn't have a journal yet. Both have come a long way (baby)!

Mod Notes: Shadowycat participated in our first BLU as an artist and author. this round, she has three additional pieces of art still to come! Snapealina is from Norway and has been a huge help to me in getting the BLU up and running. Please be sure to lavish praise on both of them! ^_^

Hello all! For my first post to this comm, I bring you the most awesome bit of Lupin/Snape fic and art ever!

Title: Exile on snapelyholidays
Artist/Author: To be Revealed
Pairing: Lupin/Snape
Rating: All Ages
Media: Ballpoint on Paper, Gimp
Content info: First War AU, Original Order/Death Eater: the Teenage Years, suspenders, glasses, Snape (and Lupin) being shouty and sneaky and not liking the future Dumbledore's prepared for them. Includes unexplained prior Snupin. Much talking and no smut, alas.
Summary: After Halloween in 1981, Remus Lupin takes a detour to Hogwarts before leaving the country, determined that he's not going to lose the only loved one he has left.
Disclaimer: The world of HP and its characters belongs to Rowling.

Why I'm Reccing This: This is probably the most ambitious thing I've ever seen. It is a comic comprised of 31 panels that creates a story so exquisite that you feel as if you've just read an epic novel. The artist captures so much emotion in every panel that you just want to weep and shout with joy. This is the story that should have happened. It's amazing and I urge you all to go now and immerse yourselves in it.

Oh man, I missed the posting by exactly an hour in our timezone. Google calendar fail. >:-\
