snapecase is looking for authors! Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on. You know you want to.

Welp, I've signed up for sshg_giftfest again! My prompts are here, and I'm kind of pleased with them :)

Signups are open until Sept 1, so if you're thinking about it now is a good time to Apparate on over...

snapecase continues to post, with some truly excellent contributions this year. if you need a little more Snape in your life (and who doesn't??), be sure to check it out.

HoggyWartyXmas and sshg_giftfest have ended and reveals are up, so I can now own up to having written the following:

Dreams of Time, Time of Dreams (LJ) (AO3) - They see each other, but through a glass darkly; will they ever see one another face to face? (SS/HG)

For Goodness Snake (LJ) (AO3) - Hermione takes on not one but two new positions at Hogwarts. Severus is not at all convinced that it’s a good idea. (SS/HG)

Silent Night (LJ) (AO3) - When Poppy insists that Minerva take a little time on her own in Scotland over Christmas, memories and regrets about a certain colleague threaten to make it anything but a happy holiday. (SS/MM)

I enjoy all three of these fests so much -- the quality is always top-notch, and the community of creators and readers is always so active. Everyone comments, talks about what they like, encourages each other, and generally has an excellent time :)

sshg_giftfest has begun posting, and WOW what a kickoff! A beautiful vignette, told in lush, sensual artwork. Go ye and marvel.

sshg_giftfest is still open for signups!! We'd love to get more artists/crafters, so if you're interested please come over and check us out: ( rules and timeline ) ( artist/crafter signup ) ( author signup )

snapecase is still open for signups! Go on, you know you want to :)




snapecase: Celebrating Severus Snape throughout his ages!

Signups are still open for the sshg_giftfest!! And Rita Skeeter has lots to say about it in her Sunday Gossip Column today :)

Now accepting prompts, woo-hoo!

Reveals are up over at sshg_giftfest, so I can now cop to being the author of the following:

Title: Riddles in the Pub (fest site) (AO3)
Word count: ~7700
Summary: Having retreated to a small town in Scotland to get away from unwanted publicity, Hermione is surprised to discover someone there who shares her love of a particular author.

Being a Tolkien fan from way back (we won't say how far back), I really enjoyed giving Snape and Hermione free rein to argue, discuss, and debate various aspects of Tolkien. My recipient, lenaa1987, was also entirely pleased, which makes me very happy indeed :)

My gift has posted over at sshg_giftfest, and it is stellar. I don't know who the Mystery Author is (though I have a suspicion), but they've got a magic quill, whoever they are. Run, do not walk, to this delightful tale of a novel come to life and a bit of Christmas cheer which totally made my night :)
