The Lupin/Snape Lurve Community

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.

ETA: Artists! bronze_ribbons has given details on how to have your art archived on Moonshadow below.

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*

FAMILY FEST IS NOW OPEN!

Behind the cut-tag are the (many, many) prompts for our Family Fest. The only real rule for this fest is that stories and art are due by April 30. Fiction of any length and art of any quality are welcome. Thematic lists around family stories and art, essays, photomanips, icons and any other creative pursuits around Snupin and Family that you can think of are welcome as well.

Let me be very clear about the prompts - they are for inspiration alone; prompters will never be revealed. Thus:

• There is no claiming.


• You can combine prompts.


• You don't have to use any of these prompts to post something for the fest.


• There is no obligation to write every part of a prompt. You can pick and choose from what is written in the longer prompts.


• Prompts marked as art prompts can be used for fics. Prompts not marked as art can still be used for art. I tried to mark the obvious art prompts, but I didn't catch them all or might have mistakenly marked a fic prompt as art. Don't let labels keep you from being inspired. ^_^

It's a very long list, and if you want to discuss the prompts in comments, go ahead. I ask that those who wrote the prompts not reveal themselves unless a creator specifically asks for you. Anonymous replies directly to questions will make sure your answers get to creators without revealing who you are. We have several fests coming up this year, and I ask that everyone respect the fact that family Fest is not meant to put pressure on creators by making them aware that they are writing someone's specific prompt. If you have to get in a late prompt, you can make an anonymous post here and I will unscreen it.

And that's it! If you have any questions, please leave a reply here or use the community email. I hope everyone will have fun with this fest!
