The Lupin/Snape Lurve Community

The non-pairing specific double drabble exchange "HP Halloween" posted all of their seasonal drabbles yesterday. There are several Lupin/Snape pairing drabbles and the tags are already in place. Go forth, read, comment and enjoy! :D

HP Creatures on DW ~ Prompt Claming List

HP Creatures is mirrored on LJ and DW. They've decided not to close the prompt claiming -- most likely due to LJ's issues.

If anyone's looking for some Snupiny Goodness *snicker*, there are prompts waiting for your scary touch!

We are seriously under-represented so if you have any prompts you want to see filled with one (or both!) of the boys as a stripper, rentboy, escort or a porn star come on over and play! Some of the prompts are making me drool, so I might wind up filling if I'm not careful!

Rules taken straight from the comm:

"Rules:

- You may submit as many prompts as you wish.
- Please do no bash or flame other's prompts.
- Please use the form supplied below.
- Only post your prompts to this post.
- Only one prompt per comment.
- Pairing can be 'any' or you may specify.
- M/M slash pairings only (ladies allowed in threesome as long as m/m action main occurs)
Prompting will close on July 30th 2011 at midnight (GMT)."

If anyone's interested, HP Creatures on LJ is holding a prompt call for their 2011 Creature Fest. Have a scary movie that you could see Severus and Remus in as either protagonist, antagonist, or running-for-their-lives-ist?

These are my five prompts for the fest. I've got two that include Remus and Severus, if anyone's interested. There are other really great prompts, one of which is the original "Frankenstein" (Boris Karloff) movie with author's choice for pairing. *hint, hint* We need to get some more Snupin for Halloween, don't we?

FYI:
FEST TIMELINE
Prompting: 6th-15th July 2011
Claiming: 17th July-1st August 2011
Submissions due: 15th September 2011
FEST BEGINS: 1st October 2011
Reveals: 31st October 2011

P.S. Remus is on the cover of their banner mag!

Pimping some writing/drawing possibilities: Do me Veela Valentine Veela’s Prompt Claiming Post @LJ

In the interest of spreading Snupiny Goodness, I come bearing SS/RL prompts--not all mine--that I hope someone will claim for fic or art. Prompts can be claimed up to three (3) times. The link above leads to the official claiming post.

( Give Severus or Remus wings, please? A variety of prompts that could be illuminating, pr0nny, imaginative, et cetera, et cetera. Hoping someone wants to take a walk on the veela-side! )

For those who want a small fest and some Snupin too, Snape_LWDS on LJ has a sign-up post here. This is based on hp_halloween so the format will be familiar to many.

( more under the cut )

If you want to extend your Lupin/Snape holidays, in a manageable bite, why not try this? We really do need more Severus and Remus. *hint, hint*

With lore's permission, I'm passing on some info about the LJ community older_not_dead's Promptathon 06 with the theme of... Colours!

From the website:

older_not_dead Promptathon Challenge #06

Please reply to this post with a list of prompts for writers/artists to use in their stories/artwork.

The prompts can be:

# A fandom and a prompt, e.g. NCIS. ?/?. Dancing
# A fandom, a character and a prompt, e.g. Due South. Fraser/?. Books
# A fandom, a pairing and a prompt, e.g. The Professionals. Bodie/Doyle. Wine
# Just a prompt (i.e. suitable for any fandom/pairing) e.g. ?. ?/?. Flowers

And you can mix and match when submitting, or just submit one type.

# This is a multi-fandom, multi-pairing challenge for slash or het couples.
# Artwork (e.g. wallpaper, icons, banners, etc.) based on the prompts is perfectly acceptable
# The theme for the sixth challenge is 'Colours'. Each prompt must include a colour.
# Each half of the pair has to be 40+ in the story/artwork, i.e. it doesn't matter if they are under 40 in canon, as long as in the story they are 40 or over.
# You do not need to be a writer/intend to write a story/produce a piece of art for this challenge to submit prompts.
# You will be able to use your own prompt.
# You can submit as many or as few prompts as you wish.
# Please feel free to pimp this on your own LJ or in communities if you wish to do so.

---

# You can submit prompts up to the end of Tuesday 28th September 2010 (although in reality this will be 29th UK time to allow for time differences).
# Posting of stories/artwork for the Promptathon will begin on 1st October and you have the entire month of October in which to post.

Check out older_not_dead Promptathon Challenge #06!

For Fantasy Fest 2010 news, see below.

We have no challenge this month, but we do have a volunteer activity:

If you would like a Snape/Lupin icon or banner or other graphic element, and you have some details in mind (words, images, etc.), leave a reply here with details and/or links. People who know how to make icons/digital art are welcome to keep an eye on this post and fulfill the requests.

I'll try to post reminders, but I am one harried mod this month. If anyone wants to start discussions or put up some candid captions or something else, please feel free!



If you would like to leave pennswoods comments on her wonderful art, please reply to this post or visit her journal!


whitestar/whitestar_alpha (IJ/LJ) made this year's Fantasy Fest participants banners and icons. She is a lovely, enthusiastic participant here and I hope you'll not only use her gifts, but let he know what you think of them as well. You can respond here if you like or visit Whitestar's journals.


I'm putting these up and trusting you all to be on the honor system when choosing to use these. If you haven't posted your piece at all yet, please wait to take a banner or icon. If you've at least put up a chapter and intend to finish, go ahead.

The Masterlist for Fantasy Fest will not go up until October sometime, so if you're still working on yours, you're in the grey zone. Fantasy Fest is officially over for this year, which means participants are now welcome to repost their work or archive it (like at Moonshadow).


Some links from around the journals - remember, you can always share a Snape/Lupin link with the community, whether it's your work or not.

Heads-Up (meaning this is all tentative): We are planning an Art Big Bang for the early Winter/Spring. I am resisting calling it Snupin BLU 2: Art Boogaloo.

Artists: We will be looking for your original, finished Snape/Lupin pieces. A limit has not been set yet, but we will likely allow 1-3 pieces. A single piece can include a comic or image sequence. Deadline likely to be mid-February, but this heads-up is for anyone who wishes to start now.

Writers: There will likely be at least a 5000 word minimum, one writer per piece, first come, first served claiming. Writing period will be mid-February - March 31 (I hope!). The word count is high because this is a Big Bang - the idea is to encourage quality work.

Art and stories will be archived at the Snupin Big Bang site. Remember, if you make an account at the site, you will have some control over your work there and be able to respond to comments. Work would be postable/archivable elsewhere 1 month after going live. You are likely going to have to join one of our ninja locked snupin communities to work on this Big Bang.

I'm making this early announcement so that artists can begin work whenever they have time this fall and writers can make room in their schedules this spring. I don't have any other details, but if you have questions, please ask them because you may bring up an issue we'll have to figure out. An official announcement will probably come sometime in November, after most exchange deadlines.


Annnnnd that's all I have for now! If you have any comments or questions, please let me know. Otherwise, expect McKay to run our October Fest, which I believe she will begin late this month. I'm still around, still available; I'm just utterly pressed for time and the ability to concentrate so please don't be alarmed if it takes a few days for me to get back to you. I hope this post will be spammed with comments and requests for icons, though! ♥ all of you!

love, lore

( Lusty Month of May 2010 Table of Contents )

Our challenge for this month has been to participate with one post to pervy_werewolf's "Lusty Month of May". So far, I haven't spotted any takers for this, but the month's only half-over. There's still time to participate and/or read! The second half of the month always takes a toll on the participants, and comments go down. This would be a good time for you to jump in and cheer the writers and artists on.

Remixers - Don't forget, your stories or art are due on May 30!

Links!

Ok, gang, if you want others to see your Snape/Lupin work posted elsewhere, or gifts to you, or just works you stumble upon, you need to link them at the IJ and/or LJ communities. I've gathered up some links over the past few months for sharing today, but it's nowhere near a comprehensive list. Don't be shy and post links when you see them!

As always, if you visit these links, let the creators know you were there with a simple comment.

akatnamedeaster art links - pay attention, most are very Not Work-Safe (NWS):

And that's it! I've been saying it over and over, but it bears repeating - if you look, comment. Actual comments and encouragement have been hard to come by lately. I know that there are less people around, and maybe commenting makes you feel exposed. But your comments are needed now more than ever, so I hope you can overcome any shyness you might have and help encourage the creators who are still working with these wonderful characters that we love so very, very much.

I think you're all fabulous. I hope you feel that way when you participate here! *HUGS* ♥

There is a post here that is for members-only. Members, you must be logged in to see it.

Title: Fulfilled Longing
Author: lore
Rating: NC-17/NWS
Pairing: Severus/Remus/Lily
Summary: James almost ruined their night, but not all silent desires go unfulfilled.
Warnings: Threesome
Notes: ~1450 words. Written for hamimifk in the dark_flowers' Fall Mini-Exchange.

There is a Valentine's edition of this Mini-Exchange taking sign-ups right now. I went over the word count, but I know the mod is wanting us to keep the MINI in the Mini-exchange this time around. Severus, Lily and Remus do not have to be in a threesome, but all three characters must feature prominently in the fic or art you produce. If you missed out on Snupin_Santa or are new, this is a great exchange for getting your feet wet. Sign-ups end Wednesday!

From the new comm, darkprincesnape:

Welcome to Dark Prince Rising, a community devoted to fic, meta and art exploring the darker side of everyone's favorite Death Eater.

Are you fascinated by Young Severus the loyal DE? Intrigued by AU's in which he returns to the Dark Lord, or becomes one himself? Do you wonder what exactly a Dark wizard is, and if Severus is one? Do you simply want something a little more complex than Misunderstood Saint!Severus? If so, then welcome to the Dark Side. (We have Chocolate Frogs!)

During chat this weekend, _lore was kind enough to tell me I could post this notice about darkprincesnape. I thought there might be those in the lupin_snape community who might be interested in Severus' darker side, before he approached Dumbledore, before he realized just what power his actions had.

Please notice that it's "darkprincesnape" as the community name and not "darkprincerising".

Thank you, _lore!

Just a quick note to pimp a very new Snupin club I stumbled upon over on y!gal.

Check it out here!

Join! Post! Let us further expand this delightful fandom. &hearts

I was thinking about the way fandom is tracking the other day and it occurred to me that if we want to keep this ship thriving, it might be a good idea to make our pairing visible again in the wider HP fandom. Never fear, we will still continue here as we have been, with new ideas and projects and challenges, but it couldn't hurt to inform you of further opportunities to introduce people to or remind them of the potential of Remus and Severus as a couple. This is also not to say that if you see an event posted here, you must create Snupin for it if you're interested in participating -- there was probably no need to say that, but I felt I had to, just in case. ~_^

Severus' Big Bang!
There is a BB just getting started that's meant to celebrate Snape's 50th Birthday next year (If anyone hears of a similar BB for Remus underway, let me know!). What's different about this BB is that there are different levels of participation, including options for drabbles and very short fic or unpolished art. Sign-ups don't even start until June 1, so you'll be hearing more about this BB as time goes on, but here's a link to the fest so you can start considering your options!



The Lusty Month is Just Around the Kinky Corner!

Five times, pervy_werewolf hosted the Lusty Month of May daily posting marathon, and on this sixth year, there's a new twist in the game to help open it up to more Pervy Werewolf Fanciers. Tiers have been set up for writers, allowing for daily posting of a minimum word count, daily posting of a drabble or monthly posting of a longer work. More details can be found here. PW is a community dedicated to the kinky side of Remus Lupin, and each year, the Lusty Month of Mary marathon has been a treasure trove of fabulous, creative smut, always involving Remus Lupin (and sometimes Severus; just remember, any pairing goes as long as Remus is around or in it).

Fic Exchange - Sign-ups end Today!
The 'Five Things' Harry Potter Fic Exchange
Pretty much what it sounds like - an exchange of "Five Things" fics (very sorry artists, I don't like it either). 1000-word minimum (works out to five 200-word drabbles, if you think about it). Sign-ups end late today (Friday, April 24), fics due May 30. If only I had seen this sooner, right? Still, if you see this in time to jump in, do! We might get each other. Had to put my money where my mouth is. ~_^ Closed now, but you can watch the user's journal for the exchange, which starts after May 30!

Oh yeah, Lupin_Snape Is Busy, Too
Snupin: Bigger, Longer and Uncut (our version of a Big Bang), Chocolate & Asphodel 2, and the monthly challenge, Fools, are all discussed and linked in this mod post. It's not too late for creators to try their hands at any one of these!

So, get out there and circulate, Lupin/Snape fans! Just be sure to remember that you'll always have a home to come back to, here at lupin_snape. ^_^

Hello, hello, fellow Snupineers -

There have been a proliferation of LJ comms linking up to Azkatraz for purposes of planning slash meetups, and azkatraz_snupin is one.

If you're going to San Francisco or want to contribute in some way, please do join up if you like.

*Pokes Members* Ok, in my mind, I imagine a sea of you at your computers, passed out on keyboards, toppled over on backs in office chairs, or holding your distended tummies, completely glutted on fic right now.

So, in case any of you want to metaphorically get up and stretch or move around for a while, I have some reminders and a few new things for you to chew over.

1. I have changed both the LJ and IJ profile to reflect an additional community rule (and that only makes us up to #6), as well as to clean up some links and notices. Is everyone seeing the Lupin_Snape Fanart Mood Theme on IJ now? I hope so!

2. The Poll asking for your number of Snupin creations and how long you've been shipping the pairing is still open and will be through Monday (December 15). On Tuesday, I'll come back with info on what I was on about. *evilgrin*

In the meantime, be sure to check out the text entry answers. There's some wildly creative single-line drabbles there! Also, if you're still friends with people who used to hang about here and don't anymore, consider pointing them toward the poll or making a post in your journal about it.

3. Desktop Calendar Artists: Deadline is Monday, December 15. If you need a reminder on how to format and submit your art, look here. Also, check out the snupin community. Some of your fellow artists could use your opinion.

4. Don't forget, the Thematic List search for this month is Threesomes: Remus/Severus/Sirius. You have until the end of the month to add to the list. Remember, this isn't a rec list, but a comprehensive gathering of fic links around a theme. Don't let your faves be left off the list!

Also, if you'd like to take on an easy community task, considering volunteering to post every other week (or every week) with a reminder about the Thematic list of the month. Contact me through the community email account if you're interested.

5. McKay is still gathering snupin_santa recs on IJ and LJ. Be sure to let her know if you posted any for current Snupin_Santa stories.

6. Speaking of recs, it's open flying month at LJ's Crack Broom, which is an HP recommendation community. Usually, there is one person each month who recommends Snupin stories and art on the community, but twice a year, they throw the doors open and let anyone make one rec.

If you've ever wanted to recommend something there, but didn't want to take on a whole month, or if you just have one great story that you think not enough people have read, now's your chance to let people know about it. You do have to make sure your rec isn't already on the list (thank you bronze_ribbons), and I suggest you not recommend any fic or art that is currently anonymous (i.e. Snupin_Santa!).

7. It's not too late to add a Snupin Holiday Icon to your userpics. Check this post out for links and permissions!

8. Twitters - Get snupin_santa and other Snape/Lupin updates at McKay's account.

9. School wrapping up, forced to take the rest of the month off to use up vacation, bored or restless? Consider taking on one of the many community volunteer opportunities still left on the list.

10. Finally, another poll. This time, you're helping us wrap our heads around the upcoming Novel-Length Fest, currently known in the HD ship as a Big Bang. If you don't know what a Big Bang is, hold your questions for now. But if you are familiar with the concept, asking the right questions can show us issues we need to address.

Poll #2854 Name That Big Bang
Open to: All, results viewable to: All

Help us name the Snupin version of a Big Bang by adding your suggestions here!

Do you have any thoughts, issues or questions about a Snupin Big Bang? Put them here for the mods to ponder.

We also need to solidify our volunteers for this project. A couple of you had committed to web site work and moderating a long while ago. Are you still in? *shifty eyes*

Ok, so, now a quiz. If you actually read to the end of this mod post, reply with Ungawa. If I get more than 50 unique Ungawas, I'll finish something on my hard drive and post it on January 1.
