Snapedom

It's Friday here in Oz, and I've found a wonderful artist who does the best Snape I have ever seen! Check out this pic, and also some of the others on her site, they're well worth the look!

I'd love to hear what y'all think!

It's Friday and I'm still busy reading all the fanfic I've seen recced, so I'll just pimp my own stuff today...not that I've done all that much that is published yet (still working on my longer fanfics and an essay for the October Challenge).

Anyway *toss* http://sailorlum.livejournal.com/tag/snape

There's some icons, a fan art, and a drabble (Snape gen).

I know it's shocking, but I'm reccing something other than a Snupin for a change! ;-) A friend steered me towards this fic, an older one written for the 1996 Percy Ficathon:

Title: The librarian of Strahov (on the author's journal; the story can also be found here on the Percy Ficathon LJ)
Author: sarka (written for jamiebluesq)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Percy/Snape, mention of Percy/Marcus Flint and Ron/Hermione
Word Count: 8,346 words

I no longer remember who pointed me towards the following fic. It's entirely possible someone rec'd it here. If so, apologies to that original poster and consider this a second endorsement for this fic:

The Birthday Present by excessivelyperky
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2470334/1/The_Birthday_Present
VERY long gen fic, Snape-centric and Slytherin POV of events post-OotP, and completely disregards HBP and DH. I spent 2 1/2 weeks on this fic so be prepared to give up your social life for the duration! Very compelling story with just a hint of future SSHG if you really pay attention.

I'm primarily a Snape/Granger fan, a pairing which is rarely represented in Friday recs. I've never seen discouragement for SSHG recs here, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Here are some of my favorites from last winter's SSHG Gift Exchange:

Mysterious happenings at Hogwarts. Harry and Hermione, now aurors, must investigate. A very unique Snape Lives premise.

The Marriage Benefit (or) How Granger And Snape Buggered The Ministry, The Board Of Governors, Minerva And The Entire Hogwarts Staff Whilst Finding True Love by miamadwyn

A new teacher's salary compensation causes Severus and Hermione to join forces.

Note: For some reason the links didn't work, so I've added the urls for each fic. What's up IJ?
