Title: Woo(f)
Author: sillybeans
Rating: Teen/PG-13
Word count: 6,101
Content/Warning(s): Alternative Universe – No Voldemort
Prompt: 111: The competition is fierce at the Wizarding World's Greatest Crup Show! Will defending champ, Cosmos and his trainer, Severus Snape, be able to hold off the young upstart, Harry Potter with his crup, Marigold? What about the more personal advances from Potter himself?
Summary: This was definitely not the show he had signed up for.
A/N: This was such a fun prompt to work with. I'd like to thank my beta SlySama for their endless patience and advice.

Title: Nocturne
Author: NecromanticNoir
Other pairings/threesome: none
Rating: NC17
Word count: 55,300
Content/Warning(s): Harry is 19 in this story.
Fairytale AU / creature fic / violence / dual pov / creature sex / voyeurism / mystery / vampirism / blood / blood drinking / biting / horror / peril / injury / heartbreak / dread / References to Depression / eroticism / kidnapping / drugging / trapped in a cage / nude photography / oral sex / anal sex / beast transformation / monsters / ghoul / threats / pining / self-hatred / angst and feels / dark magic / animal transformation / rough sex / creepy / nightmares / hunting / gothic / ghosts / despair / enchanted crockery / witchcraft / outdoor sex
Prompt: Wild Card 1
Summary: A Gothic Snarry version of ‘Beauty and the Beast’, inspired by the dark and sensual tale from the Czech film version, ‘Panna a Netvor’. I follow some of the plot, but then diverge and do my own thing. Got to make it even weirder, right? An eerie, erotic, brooding, bloody, batty, haunting fairytale.

‘Underneath my skin there’s a human. Buried deep within there’s a human. Despite everything, I’m still human.’ - ‘Human’ by Daughter
A/N: This is not set in any particular time or place. Hence the poetry and literature quotes spanning several centuries. Place the dark forest and its inhabitants in any country or time that you will. Also, I take no credit for the idea of the orange Weasley tea set, hehe!

This fic takes a little inspiration from the Disney version, and also from old film versions of the fairytale, such as ‘La Belle et la Bête’, and the books illustrated by Angela Barrett and Errol Le Cain.

Thank you as always to the people who run this wonderful Fest for having me, and for all the hard work that you do!

Title: Our Last Confession
Author: catharticEscapism
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 12,300 words
Content/Warning(s): A/B/O dynamics, trans!Snape, off-screen bullying, Harry is 17 years old-technically he's underage even if he's an adult in Wizarding society
Prompt: Wild Card, but originally from a ‘Swap that I didn’t finish.
Summary: Snape survives the war, but on the precipice of his release from the hospital wing, he goes into heat. Harry’s there to save the day. Again. Featuring soulmates and A/B/O dynamics.
A/N: Originally, I wrote this fic for a ‘swap, but I ended up abandoning it for a few months because I lost interest. Luckily, HP and Snarry are something I always come back to, so once I found my drive again, it was a cinch to finish it. I’m extremely proud of it. It’s been awhile since I’ve written something this long. I hope everyone who reads it enjoys it. So much thanks to dromikins (a03) / dromikinsfr (twitter) for beta-ing this fic for me!! It was also Brit-picked by Xanthe and a friend who prefers to stay anonymous! I can’t thank them all enough!

I also wanted to mention that the LGBTQUIA+ community is thriving at Hogwarts. There are queer people across all the houses, and there's no prejudice in the wizarding world regarding it. There are spells and potions being regularly tested by the Ministry of Magic, so anyone can change their presentation. Capitalism unfortunately drives up the cost of more permanent options, which is what led to Snape having muggle top surgery: it was cheaper.

(Our Last Confession)

Title: A Sea Symphony
Artist: NecromanticNoir
Other pairings/threesome: none
Rating: teen and up audiences
Media: digital art
Content/Warning(s): fanart / digital art / mermaid Harry / mermaid Severus / creatures / Harry is over 18
Prompt: 38: Mermaid/Siren Harry
Summary: Mermaid / Mermen lovers Severus and Harry.
A/N: I got inspired to make random art, I don’t know what the story of it might be, though… Perhaps they are betrothed, but then Harry gets trapped in a fisherman’s net, taken ashore, and turned human. He forgets his love for Severus, but not his love for the sea… and Severus has to decide whether to become human himself and try to woo him again… Yes, maybe that would be the story! Maybe I’ll write that, to accompany this art, one day.
Thank you Mods for running this wonderful fest!

SNARRY-A-THON23 PROMPT CLAIMING IS OPEN

art by stellamoon

The Snarry-a-Thon is open to everyone over age 18 and anyone may claim a prompt. The fest rules and FAQs can be found here. Each prompt may be claimed up to four times - twice by an author and twice by an artist. If you would prefer to use a prompt of your own creation or any of the over 2,700 prompts from a previous Snarry-a-Thon, please claim Wild Card #1. You can find previous prompt posts at these links: 2009: part 1, 2009: part 2, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.

When you sign up, you do not have to list an alternate prompt. But if you do, priority will always be given to your first choice. As this is not an exchange fest, authors and artists should feel free to interpret/adapt the prompts in whatever manner they decide.

Requests for specific characters (other than Snape and Harry), specific kinks (unless they are critical to the spirit of the prompt), situations, time periods, or type of ending are up to the discretion of the writer/artist and some prompts were edited for inclusion. Unedited prompts can be found at the original "Call for Prompts" posts on DW, LJ, and IJ.

Or, more realistically, early Sunday morning. ;)

Get your prompts in at DW, LJ, and IJ.

Claiming begins on Monday, February 6 at 11am EST!

Prompting is now OPEN CLOSED!

Don't hold back. All kinds of prompts are welcome - happy prompts, dark prompts, silly prompts, kinky prompts, fluffy prompts, romantic prompts, art prompts, prompts set in the past, present, or future, prompts from any universe, both unique ideas and beloved fandom tropes....We welcome any flavour of Snarry. Let your fantasies run wild! Submitting prompts doesn't commit you to anything.

Each person may leave up to FIFTEEN prompts (one for every year of Snarry-a-Thon!!). And because we will be posting prompts inside a text box, we ask people please try to limit your prompts to no more than two or three sentences. We would like to reiterate that Snarry-a-Thon is not an exchange and personal preferences like who tops or side-pairings not essential to the spirit of the prompt may be edited from the final prompt. Last year's prompt table is here if you'd like to get a better idea what your prompt will look like in its final form.

Prompting is open until 11:59 pm (EST) on February 4. The complete list of all prompts will be posted at 12 pm (EST) on February 5. Comments will be temporarily disabled to give everyone a chance to read over the entire list of prompts and decide which prompt they would like to claim. On Monday, February 6, at 11 am (EST), comments will be enabled on the post and claiming of prompts will begin.
