Giftee:: stepmnstr
Word Count: 16,000
Rating: R

Summary: Severus and Harry could never have guessed that they would one day be the subject of folklore regarding the power of words …
Author's Notes: Thanks so much to the incredibly amazing mods who graciously indulged my need for perfection … I didn’t say that, did I? My lovely, talented, and speedy beta also deserves copious amounts of praise and cookies for her help in whipping my fic into shape. Stepmnstr, it is my hope that you find this fic enjoyable. I have attempted to write you a fic that will make you smile. Happy Christmas and best wishes for a wonderful 2010.

| Art: Protective Custody - for sev1970 |
[Dec. 1st, 2009|08:49 pm] |
Title: Protective Custody
Artist: Certainly not Severus Snape
Giftee: sev1970
Media/Medium: Ballpoint pen on paper
Rating: PG
Pairing: Snarry
Warnings: None
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property
of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement
is intended.
Summary: Harry certainly didn't enjoy spending the last part of
his sixth year in detention after the Sectumsempra incident, copying
out his father's past misdeeds. Imagine having to watch over him for
hours on end, from only a few feet away, knowing what happened, what
will never be, and what's coming... Any day now.
Artist's Notes: You asked for gen, with angsty Harry and
protective Snape at Hogwarts. I hope this fits the bill! All furniture
and the knicknacks on Snape's desk, including the lopsided oil lamp
with modern lampshade on, were inspired by Snape's office as it
appeared in the CoS movie.

| Woe, dreams do not become reality just because they were (mostly) delicious |
[Dec. 1st, 2009|08:55 am] |
This morning I woke from a very involved dream about making cookies. Lots of kinds of cookies, with chocolate and nuts and drop cookies and bar cookies and vanilla and mint and mmmm, but most especially this variant on sugar cookies with this frosting that was magically shape-able like fondant, only didn't taste godawful and also was soft and yummy.
Also in the dream, at one point I was repeatedly following Gwen out of Camelot and losing her at some sort of weird hidden path that went on the side of the boulder that didn't exist; I would come back and 1. make more cookies, and 2. listen to additional/ongoing discussion on the importance of calling in the right people to resolve the problem when there are unusual incidents at work (with worksheets and group activities and all the other trappings of an all-day training on something lame), and then follow her again (and lose her again), and so on.
Then, more cookies.
I cannot tell you how sad I was to find no cookies whatsoever in my kitchen on getting up. The lecture on public-safety calls I was okay not to find underway, but. Cookies! I can practically taste them, and yet, they are not here. Also not here: Camelot. *wail*

Sometimes, disliking a female character has nothing to do with being misogynist. Sometimes, one just doesn't find them likable regardless of their gender. Other times, one dislikes them because the author's own misogyny shows through the character.

| IT'S TIME: SNARRY HOLIDAYS STARTS TODAY! |
[Dec. 1st, 2009|03:47 am] |
For many people it's a stressful (if lovely) time of year, and snarry_holidays is ready to insert that special bit of Snarry into your holiday season. ;-) We'll kick start our posting tonight at 9pm EST, so please stick around if you can!
Some notes before we begin:
-- We will start posting today (yay!) December 1, and posting will run until December 23. snarry_holidays will be posting this year at InsaneJournal, LiveJournal, and Dreamwidth. You may comment to any of the sites, though commenting on IJ is encouraged, if possible.
-- With around 60 submissions, we will be posting an average of two gifts per day (a mix of fic and art, of course) with several days of three gifts. We will do our best to space out long fics so that everyone doesn't become too overwhelmed.
-- If you are participating and you have an extension, please keep us updated and get your gift to us ASAP. If we have not heard from you at all, you might be in trouble! *waves modly stick*
-- Thanks so much to elethian, who has agreed to help us proofread!
-- Please remember that feedback and comments are very much encouraged. That being said, please attempt to keep your comments cordial. We know people have strong feelings about Snarry and writing, fic and art, but please play nicely (i.e. no flaming, say something constructive). If you have any questions about what this might constitute, email us at snarryholiday [at] gmail [dot] com. We'll be reading all the comments.
-- We're going to be collecting recs for daily_snitch, so please send us links to your fic and art recs! We're collecting the recs at this post, on IJ. Fic and art need three recs (not locked) to qualify.
-- Please spread the word!
We hope everyone enjoys the all the lovely Snarry coming in the next few weeks! Thanks to all the hard work on behalf of the participants!

| Ficlet: "Twice as Nice" (Kirk/McCoy/Spock, entirely NC17) |
[Nov. 30th, 2009|11:30 pm] |
Fic for exchange: making me seriously crazy with just the very last little bit of it resisting like I'm asking it to give me all its candy and it's a two-year-old with a sugar fetish and a high degree of fondness for the word no.
Rar.
However, here, let me give you a ficlet from the kink meme from a few days ago. :D
Title: Twice as Nice
Words: ~675
Pairing: Kirk/McCoy/Spock
Warnings: none, I think.
A/N: For this prompt (Kirk/McCoy/Spock DP, bottom McCoy making whimpering sounds). As you might find unsurprising for a kink meme fill, this is straight-up porn.

| Updates |
[Nov. 30th, 2009|02:50 pm] |
I just realised my last post (before the wishlist thingy) was over a month ago! So updates....
- The TB test was positive. Really, Wtf. Even the Dr's we've seen were Wtf, where'd you get that from? Fortunately not in a contagious state, but still needs treating.
- Am working on ABP. Really! I am determined to get an update out before the end of the year. And hopefully get back to some kind of posting schedule after that.
- Was rationing meds. Got that problem fixed for the year. Feeling better.
- Tramadol increased from 90 per month to 240 per month. Feeling much better.
- I did 2 holiday fan exchanges (Snarry holidays and Snapely holidays)! Got them both in way before deadline. And I don't hate them! (A couple flaws jump out at me of course, but I think that's normal for artists). Digital art, but I'm hoping this translates to more inspiration for actual painting on canvas.

| Rainbow Award Covers, Round 6 (Not the Final One Yet) |
[Nov. 30th, 2009|06:54 pm] |
Hey, friends, it seems that I misunderstood the rules, and there will be one more round than I expected.
Now we have 20 beautiful covers in the competition. At the end of this round, there will be just 10 contestants. And then we will have the final round.
The cover of Clippings (art by korekan, design by morgan_d) is still competing, and everyone can vote again. Here.
