Snapedom

A big snarry, a little snarry and three snupin recs.

EDIT: Sylvana, I'm sorry, I've f___ked-up the tags. *sigh* Would you mind removing the 'fannish magic' tag. Sorry. *blush*

I decided to do a post on Fannish Magic, since I talked about the concept of magic having a price in my review of the Hibiki's Magic manga, which has a very interesting concept of magic requiring a heavy price from the spellcaster. Most of the post is related to the manga, but I also talk about magic in general and the HP universe in particular:

I'm posting this today since I want to avoid confusion with the Friday Recs.

Here we go (under the cut):

Has it ever happened to you that you read a fanfic story and were interested in the way the author interprets an aspect of magic/ a character/ an item/ the potterverse? Did you want to pick that particular topic and discuss it, but without offending? Yes? Then here's the place to do it. But ONLY if the author gives permission, and ONLY if it is Snape-fanfic (of all ships and gen, but no shipping). I don't want a sporking site.
You understand of course that this is a means to circumvvent our self-imposed restrictions to Snape discussions. That way, if we have interesting examples, we can discuss everything and anything in the Potterverse if it comes up in Snape fic. Severus lives in that magical universe, and we want to explore it, don't we?

I'll start this with a seperate post, to give you an idea what I'm thinking about.

ETA: Permission is needed when you want to link and post an excerpt.
If you're shy, the author is hard to contact, has vanished or such, and you want to discuas the idea: paraphrase and don't link.
And: of course you can present ideas from your own stories, too.
