I know this is coming pretty late in the month, but it will be offered again next year as a 2011 desktop choice. littleblackbow did a wonderful job, so I hope you will all leave her comments here!

I am taking general Snape/Lupin images for 2011 from now until the end of the year.

Instead of sign-ups and deadlines, I am making an open call for 2011 images. You can add a calendar to your image and set a month for it, just be aware I might receive more than one calendar for a certain month and will be putting up all I receive for that month. Offering an image also means you're giving permission for the image to go into an ongoing library of desktop calendar art for future years. I'm imagining that the day will come, maybe even this year, when we won't be able to drum up 12 separate images.

If you have participated in a previous calendar and would like your art to enter the ongoing archive, please drop me a note in some fashion (reply here is fine). I'll eventually try to contact everyone personally who doesn't contact me.

It would be nice to have all the images by the end of the year, but if you're running late or suddenly inspired, I'll accept work at any time from now on (although I hope you are managing your time so you can create art for the Snupin Big Bang Art Focus-hee!). If anyone (or more) wants to produce desktop images for the year-long challenge, please feel free!

Spooky Snupin ends on Halloween!

Snupin_Santa new participants have a deadline coming up on Monday!

I'm loving the late Fantasy Fest entries, and I have started to look for my lists on my hard drive so we can get the Master List up soon.

The Snupin Showers folks have been doing a great job so far (don't forget to tag!). Gut check for the onlookers - are you commenting?


Our April calendar art comes from the very talented zephre. I have to admit, it's my machine that somehow brightened the colours on the 800 x 600 piece, not Zephre. I hope she won't mind! As always, please leave her comments here if you'd like to tell her how fabulous the April art is.

I'll be honest, there's a RL situation that's keeping me away this month so far. I hope a few of you are taking on the challenge of commenting to all the daily posters. I will be, just on the late side.

I believe we're having a writing exchange here soon....a Remix? Yes, that's what it was. If you're interested, you might want to gather up links to your creative pursuits and post them on your journals, or else update your web sites or other ways of archiving your work. You're going to need your works to participate. More later this month (gawd willin' and the creek don't rise)!

The 2010 Calendar project so far is falling quite short of the 12 artists needed to make a full print calendar. I have extended sign-ups until Wednesday, October 14 and changed the deadline for submissions to December 13.

If we get 12 artists, that will give them a full two months to create their pieces. If we don't get even close to 12 artists, we'll have to drop the project or try for a desktop series again.

Artists that are interested can find more information here on IJ or here on LJ (or even on DW). The link to sign up for a month is here. I've updated all the posts with the new deadlines.

There will be an official chat on Sunday, October 11, starting at 3 pm EST. We'll discuss pretty much anything Snupin and other community projects like Snupin_Santa, the calendar and the new Recipe Challenge! If you have any questions, needs or just want to hang out and talk or "listen", be there!

Also, remember, the room is open all the time. There will probably be people in the chat room before 3 and well into dark-thirty (late), so if you can't be there right at 3, go on in any time. If you haven't used IRC before, though, you might want to work out how to get to the room ahead of time.

October's Desktop calendar is by Karasu_Hime, and I think Severus and Remus are having some Halloween costume fun at the expense of J.M. Barrie. Well, I don't think it, I hope it. ~_^ Download and enjoy!

And that's all I have for now! I'll be scarce for the next three days, but I can't wait to see more recipes, calendar sign-ups and other Lupin_Snape fun when the scarceness stops. ♥ community members for making this such a wonderful, happy place to be!

Under the cut-tag is detailed information on our proposed 2010 print calendar, which includes links to our previous calendar projects, in case you're interested.

If you are an artist and would like to participate in this project, I will be organizing it through the InsaneJournal snupin community. That is a closed community for participating artists only. Please don't sign up for the community unless you intend to participate in the calendar project. I will also be putting some notices on the LiveJournal Snupin_Art community. If you feel strongly that you can't participate on IJ, please reply to this post and we'll organize through email.

Sounds good! how do I sign up?:
Reply to this post saying you want to participate, and then make a join request at both the Snupin on IJ and Snupin_Art on LJ communities, when possible. If you're already there, great, but still reply to this post so I know you're in and be sure to visit the sign-up post to get a month assignment. I'll probably assign months on Wednesday, October 14 if we have enough participants to make a go of it.

If you're seeing this and want to encourage your favourite artists to participate, you might point them toward this post.

Questions? Answers? Ask away! And thank you for joining the project!
