Snapedom

hp_friendship/hp_friendship is a new prompt-based ficathon that celebrates one of the big themes of the Harry Potter series: friendship. We would like to showcase friendship between Harry Potter characters in all its many facets. What do friends do for friends, and what do they do to them? You tell us!


There are several Snape-centric prompts still available that might interest you:

#43
Characters: Harry Potter, Severus Snape
Prompt: Severus Snape lives. Harry feels a bond with Snape and pursues him to figure it out, learn more about this man, who has suddenly become so mysterious. Do they ever become close friends, or does the friendship remain one-sided? How does Harry span the gap between learning about Snape and the past, and moving forward into his own career and future? Does their friendship affect any of their other relationships? How much does Snape reveal to Harry about his life - does he hide from Harry in the wake of giving him his memories, or does he open up? Do they still argue? Are their arguments one-sided? How does Snape live after the War is over - what is his purpose, and can he find happiness?
Likes: Strong characterizations, vivid imagery, simple/clean plots complicated by characters and their quirks, secrets, sunlight, flying, the Forbidden Forest, shadows, unattractive, snarling, fighting, silence, everything at its own pace, impatience, contrast.
Dislikes: Porn, pet names/nicknames, focus on plot instead of characters (I love plot, but I think that the characters are the most important thing).

#52
Characters: Lily Evans, Severus Snape or Lily Evans, Remus Lupin
Prompt: "If I had a camera," I said, "I'd take a picture of you every day. That way I'd remember how you looked every single day of your life." -Nicole Krauss, The History of Love
Likes: Everything!
Dislikes: OOCness/crack, squicky things.

#75
Characters: Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape, and/or Albus Dumbledore
Prompt: Talking to portraits of your dead friends.
Likes: This prompt getting filled! Write what you like, and I'm sure I will enjoy it.
Dislikes: Extreme angst.

#76
Characters: Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape
Prompt: Post-DH. Severus Snape is rescued from the Shrieking Shack, hovering between life and death. McGonagall is there. She never liked Severus Snape, not even while she trusted Dumbledore that he really was on their side. But now, after the battle, as they're counting their dead and trying to rebuild their world, something changes, and she wonders if she ought to extend a hand.
Likes: I'd love this to be a story where McGonagall has legitimate reason to have disliked Snape. She will be aware that he's been ill-treated, including by herself, but I'd like her to be motivated primarily by something other than guilt. Complexities and contradictions welcome! Also, I'd love her either to be single (a respectful portrayal of a woman with no relationship history is perfectly great) or in a relationship with a female teacher of her generation. Poppy might lend herself nicely for this.
Feel free to let Snape live or die at the end.
Dislikes: In this one, I'd like there to be no romantic/erotic tension between them.

#79
Characters: Narcissa Malfoy, Severus Snape
Prompt: Narcissa and Snape form a tentative friendship during the war.
Likes: This prompt getting filled! Write what you like, and I'm sure I will enjoy it.
Dislikes: Extreme angst.

#100
Characters: Severus Snape, anyone
Prompt: Someone being a good friend to Severus even though he is being a big git.
Likes: Surprises, fluff, happy endings, mindfuck, crack.
Dislikes: Horror, incest, abuse, gore, dark!fic.

#102
Characters: Severus Snape and anybody from the people working at Hogwarts, be it faculty, staff, or house-elves.
Prompt: Severus is a loner and/or lonely. Show us an unexpected friendship he forms, no matter when, or with whom - but it must make a difference for him, change his (outlook on) life at least a little to the positive. It doesn't matter if he's a student, teacher or headmaster, and no matter who is befriending him.
Likes: Real people, complex characterisations, interesting backstory, realistic magical and mundane detail, banter, book canon with the exception of Snape's death, Animagi and animals in general, witty!sarcastic!Snape.
Dislikes: Weak women, OOC, extreme fluff, cruelty, character bashing.

#103
Characters: Severus Snape and any adult character of your choice. Student generation is ok if they've grown up and you show them as adults, even young ones.
Prompt: The war is over, Snape has survived and been vindicated. He wants to start over and starts a small business/shop of his own. Bonus points if it's nothing with potions or an Apothecary. Can be in the Muggle or Wizarding world. No matter if he just scrapes a living or the business blooms, he remains socially isolated. Soon, he realises his much-longed for solitude is really bitter loneliness, and that is not what he wanted. I'd like to see a friendship forming with the character(s) of your choice, against all odds - as of course Snape is pants at it, and does and did his best to scare everybody away.
Likes: Real people, complex characterisations, interesting backstory, realistic magical and mundane detail of the Potterverse, banter, book canon with the exception of Snape's death, Animagi and animals in general, witty!sarcastic!Snape.
Dislikes: Weak women, OOC, extreme fluff, cruelty, character bashing.

#104
Characters: Severus Snape, Kingsley Shacklebolt
Prompt: HBP+; They both know what "going undercover" really means.
Likes: N/a
Dislikes: N/a

#105
Characters: Severus Snape, Nymphadora Tonks
Prompt: OotP: "In another life, it could have been us (but don't ask for what's not within my power to give)."
Likes: UST; Snape being fully aware he will have to break off whatever relationship they have brutally, some day soon.
Dislikes: Woobiefication; adults acting like young teens; character bashing. Plus, for this prompt, Remus/Sirius.


There are also a few "any character" prompts that seem to be made for Severus Snape. Why don't you have a look at our List of Prompts (on DW)? And if you found something to your liking, the prompt claiming post can be found here (and here on DW)!
