Severus Sighs

The Webmistresses would like to thank those authors and artists who participated in this year's Author and Artist Interviews.

You have our deepest gratitude and can now consider yourselves free to leave the dungeon. There are potions and salves for the rope burns, wine and brandy in the lounge, and you may keep the shackles.

We hope you all -- participants and members -- enjoyed the interviews, as we certainly did. Our thanks also to those members who read and commented.

Members,

After getting hold of some ... ehm ... interesting photos and using them as ... er ... as an enticement, the last in the 2009 Author and Artist Interviews is with dementordelta.

After copious wining and dining, the next in the 2009 Author and Artist Interviews is with jadzialove.

Members,

After someone much more suitable dropped out, and because we didn’t have time to find a real author, the next one in the 2009 Author and Artist Interviews is with whitecotton.

Members,

We are delighted to present our second instalment of the 2009 Author and Artist Interviews.

After just one intensive whipping session, accioslash agreed to let us play with her pencils.

Members,

We are delighted to open the 2009 Author and Artist Interviews with the author RaeWhit (joanwilder), who agreed -- after surprisingly weak blackmail -- to let us play with her skeletons.

Have you ever read a story so wonderful you wished you could follow the author home and pester them with questions about the smallest details of their work?

Perhaps you wished to ask RaeWhit what influenced 'Down the Rabbit Hole,' or Gildedheart what influences her version of Severus, or what DementorDelta was thinking when she wrote 'Parseltongue-Tied.' Or perhaps a general question for every author, such as, 'my God, where did that genius idea come from and should I be afraid of you?'

The Webmistresses of SeverusSighs have read through some of the greatest Severus-centric works on offer and dragged their authors—kicking, screaming and quite a few from a nice meal—to the Lounge. We then broke out our big, happy heat lamp, tied them to a chair—to keep them from falling off, of course—and proceeded to ask questions about our favorite stories.

We've interrogated...er...interviewed five authors and two artists: joanwilder[RaeWhit], accioslash, jadzialove, gingertart, gildedheart, dementordelta and our own whitecotton. Over the coming week we will be proud to bring you their interviews, posted to the group and our Insane Journal account, where follow-up questions for the authors are welcome.

End note: please do not feed the authors and artists while you are in the Lounge. And if they start to cry and beg to be released, just tell them to have another drink. We left them enough for the week so they shouldn't be complaining.

The Webmistresses of SeverusSighs

Ever wanted to ask JoanWilder (RaeWhit) where she gets her inspiration from to write all that hot smutty goodness? Have you ever wondered whether Severus *sighs* ever puts his foot down about being the butt of Accioslash's jokes? Or, have you ever wanted to know which of DementorDelta's stories she thinks is her best work?

Well, now is your opportunity, as the questions for the Author/Artist Interviews 2009 are being taken by the Webmistresses.

Those taking part are...
