One more late Closing Games entry, this one from Cauldron's Miyoung Boz.

We certainly couldn't turn this one away! Thanks to everyone who sent in Closing Games entries for everyone to share!


Title: Severus saves his boy
Artist: miyoung_boz
Team: Cauldron
Rating: R. For a hint of peen.
Warnings: Sad!Harry, rentboy!Harry, could be dub-con.
Notes: I think I've read this scenario a million times. Totally cliche, but I will love Savior!Snape until the day I die. Let it be known that the stranger's right hand is wonky, looks terrible and completely grosses me out.






( Severus Saves His Boy by Miyoung Boz )

CLOSING GAMES ENTRY #11 - Drawbles by Team Cauldron's Umbrus!

Title: Closing Games Drawbles
Artist: Umbrus
Rating/Warnings:G to hard R, none.
Notes: I tried my best to find time to draw a drawble for every fic on cauldron (couldn't get to them all but I got every posted fic that didn't have a drawble) and as I don't have as much time as I'd like with RL being unfairly busy some of these are very rushed and definitely not up to par but I think it's the thought that counts. Also, another thank you to my team, my team captions and the mods; you guys are amazing! and made this years games experience better than ever. I really had a lot of fun. Thank you! (Also, the concepts depicted in the drawbles obviously do not belong to me.)

*Will open in new window - Offsite*


Thank you to Snarry Games mod extraordinaire elanorofcastile for the Recaps this year and our new Sortable Master List! ♥

Dear Friends of Snarry:

Hi. My name is djin7, and it's time that we begin to say goodbye to the 2008 Snarry Games.

This was an amazing year, and the Art Games once again showed that the most talented people are still within the Snarry fandom. We had 50 truly exquisite pieces of art, and as always, great 'crack art' & interviews. We were able to post twice daily for nearly a month, and we have a great group of artists to thank for that.

Also, many Champions, past and present, helped this round of the Games with pimping and reccing, and commenting. Our hope always has been to help facilitate a sense of community in this fandom, hoping to keep the SS Snarry sailing on happy waters. When we see how fantastically supportive past champions are, whether author or artist, it makes all our hard work worth every minute spent. Thank you, all!

I ran across a quote that reminded me of fandom; and of Snarry in particular:

"What moves men of genius, or rather what inspires their work, is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough."
(Eugene Delacroix)

No matter what the poll results, each artist brought something brand-new to Snarry, and gifted us with an ever deeper appreciation for the fandom we love. Severus Snape and Harry Potter continue to inspire us all in new and exciting ways: may we always be this rich with inspiration!

( Before we announce the medalists for the 2008 Summer Art Games, I would like to take this time to thank some people who really went above and beyond the call of duty for this round )

( The scores are great, but the real reward for our artists are the wonderful, thoughtful comments from the readers )

( The Snarry Games was invented to celebrate the rebirth of Walking The Plank )


Stay tuned for the final announcements! Our third annual Snarry Games Art Tribute Video, a fabulous concept provided by our most illustrious Snarry Vidder extraordinnaire and Snapecast Editor, chaeche. You will also find posting instructions for Walking the Plank, final mod notes, some closing Games art as a tribute to both Team Dragon and Team Phoenix, and of course, the moment you've all been waiting for: The 2008 Snarry Art Games Medal Ceremony!

Thank you!


Cheers,
djin7
