playlist meme (6 Severus/Regulus drabbles)
A while back I tried doing this meme: 1. Pick a character/pairing/fandom.
2. Turn your music player on and turn it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabblet/ficlet related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterward, no matter how whacked out your drabble seems.I wanted to do ten, as it seems a usual number, but it seems I'm never going to get around to finishing it. Some of them are pretty dumb, besides, so I won't be posting those (never minding the rules), but here's six. G - PG-13 (or maybe the lightest of possible Rs), some genish and some suggestive, bits of humour, no warnings except some drunkenness in one. ( Read more... )

some o' them there summaries
Note: I unsubscribed from the full-HP feed on FFN that was giving me so much fodder. I just couldn't take it; ~900+ posts a week had me feeling overwhelmed and like this was a chore rather than something I did every now and then for fun. So I will still be making posts like this every so often as I do still have a feed set up for character=Severus Snape, but that's a much slower stream. Disclaimer: Do not take too seriously; I am not necessarily saying the fics in question are bad ones. Sometimes they are horrible, but more often they are just mediocre, and sometimes quite okay, but they all had something in their summaries that I found goofy, misused, or amusing in some other way. ----- harrys living in a mad world. but for how long?Depends on whether he makes friends with Randal McMurphy. ----- severus and harry are trapped in "la'trap" hotel and not sure why. but they were both dropped there with no clue as how to get out... it's going to be hell staying cooped up with each other..or is it?A name like "La Trap" wasn't a warning sign? ----- Harry Potter was Dead. Or at least, just as good as.Harry Potter was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. ----- ( Read more... )

fic and art recs (lots of various stuff)
Snarry 3 by ~ Umino-aka-Morskaya on deviantARTSo sweet. I love Severus's glasses and apparent age and the contented familiarity in him ruffling Harry's hair. 
Connichi 2009 - poking Snape by ~ HowellJenkinsSama on deviantARTThere are some other photos of this interesting Snape cosplay as well. Normally I would say that nose prosthesis takes it over the top into slightly cruel caricature, but somehow it really brings this particular costume together. 
The Long Road by ~ TGP on deviantARTI loved the moody colour and how a frightened child grows into a sullen teenager, a disaffected adult, and then a total mystery with his back turned to the viewer. Very simply drawn but quite effective. 
The Banes of Her Existence by * Vizen on deviantARTThis made me LOL IRL. Just look at Severus and Minerva's poses and expressions, and Albus's drink with the umbrella! Poor woman, being headmistress and sharing an office with those two... ( ten fic recs behind the cut: gen, Severus/Lily, Harry/Draco, Severus/Harry, Sirius/Harry )

summaries du jour

Sirius Black is every girl's dream boy. They say that opposites attact... but that's just one part of this couples' story.![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) elethian: So... Rebecca is the opposite of Sirius? And a Black is the opposite of a Johnson? enotsola: That's not the way I hear it. ----- Hogwarts newest 6th yr isn't all that she seems.

Pairing: Selene/Draco Harry/ secret Who's strong enough for a man, but made for Harry. ----- (please also note the title of this fic: Salviles Severus Salazar Tobias Prince Snape) This a story about Severus Snape and Febrir Snape's son. Fenrir Grayback is nice and not a werewolf and not a deatheater. And heck, just not Fenrir Greyback. Also i change his apprince and personality. He is considered a female so he can bear children like any female.

some summaries for the weekend
(yeah, weekend, since I have three-day weekends through Sept. 11. by force, but I have the vacation to cover it so I don't have to work 10-hour days the rest of the week. yay.)

So Joel Watson, who draws Hijinks Ensue, one of my favourite geeky-culture webcomics, has apparently just finished listening to the Harry Potter audiobooks. See his take on this experience in A Princely Pursuit and The Disorder of the Phoenix. Be sure to read the accompanying "news" posts, too. Re: the second one, I have also sometimes wanted to scoop out JKR's brain with a spoon, but I think my reasons may be slightly different than his. ^_-

bizarre Yahoo groups descriptions
I am not really going to get started on this. For one thing, it is unlikely to be as endless a source of entertainment as summaries are (although I've so tagged this post anyway so I can find it with them). But I was browsing through some Yahoo groups today and came across quite a few ... interesting ... list descriptions. Keep in mind that like my summaries posts, whose source feed from FFN is narrowed considerably by requiring Severus Snape to be selected in one of the two character menus, the keyword here was "Snape", and I'm sure you could find many more both similar and worse if you tried the keyword "Harry Potter". ----- Welcome to Potions! I am Severus Snape. I am here to bewitch your mind and ensnare your senses. I can teach you to brew fame, bottle glory and even put a stopper on death. So, are you ready for the challenge? Contact me at babylollipoppy@yahoo.com with questions or comments.That's an undercover email address for Snape if I ever saw one. ----- THIS SITE IS DEVOTED TO THE MOST OUTSTANDING ACTOR AND MAN – ALAN RICKMAN! WE LOVE THIS CELESTIAL MAN, HE IS GREAT, WHATEVER HE PERFORMS. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND SUCH PEOPLE, WHO LOVE HIM INDEED, BUT SOME OF THE FANS CAN SAY: "WE ADMIRE HIM TRULY, MADLY, DEEPLY!" THIS GROUP IS FOR SUCH BRILLIANT LADIES! ALSO WE SHALL DISCUSS SEVERUS SNAPE, SUCH A MYSTERY MAN!YES I AGREE IT MUST BE VERY HARD TO FIND SLAVERING FEMALE FANS OF ALAN RICKMAN SINCE HE DOESN'T REALLY HAVE ALL THAT MANY OF THOSE DOES HE. AND THANK YOU FOR YELLING. I ENJOY IT TOO. (p.s. "celestial"? must be thinking of the Metatron.) ( Read more... )

Bonus crack!ficlet in this one, but beware of puns. Please wear appropriate safety equipment to avoid lethal exposure. ----- The afterlife of Severus Snape and other characters. This is a religious story, believe it or not, but Sev does go "down south," but I love him anyway: .All right, "The Devil Went Down to Hogwarts"! I love this song! ----- After years of believing that he was dead, Severus Snape is seen by none other than Hermione Granger. Unfortunately, she happens to see him just donning his silvery, translucent dressing gown after a ghostly shower. Insert girly squeal here. They easily become friends, and maybe even more."Easily"? Must be AU then. How many chances can one man truly get?Well, how much money did one man truly put up for casino chips? ( Read more... )

a few recs
Now and Then by sweet_lemmon (Harry/Hermione, (strong) R, NWS) "WTF?" you may be thinking, since this is so not the kind of thing I am usually interested in. I said as much in my comment, too, but I liked the soft shading in this piece and the sensuality and drape of Hermione's body in the second (third?) panel. ----- So after that strange interlude, here, let me make it all better: DH Chapter 33 by lilyhbp (Severus, Lily, G) Illustrations for the scene outside the Gryffindor portrait in "The Prince's Tale" are about a dime a dozen gross, but Severus's downcast expression in this is just the greatest thing ever, even though with his hair hiding most of his face you can hardly see it. I recommend taking a look at the detail in which you can more closely see their faces. The other thing about this piece is that it really shows how much she's advanced as an artist over just a few years when you compare it to the original piece that used the pose for Severus she mentions in the artist's notes. (She's taken that one down, but you could also compare it to Head of Slytherin or Best Friends, for example.) ----- ( And now for some ancient fic recs from holiday fests )

now for reals yo, for mimimanderly!
( nehalenia and feyandstrange, I haven't forgotten you, honest.) OK, Mimi, take two on this. I felt pretty lame about the first attempt, especially since I had asked for a prompt for a birthday present, for f's sake. The comic-book idea was fun (and is recycled here), but the rest of it, frankly, flopped. Although I don't say that I wouldn't love to see drawings of Severus having something to do with spun sugar or recycling. ;) This, on the other hand, kind of got away from me in terms of length, but you can't have everything. So without further ado, Five things that Severus Snape does only when he's absolutely certain that he's alone and unobserved (even by the portraits!) that he would be mortified if word got out about.( Brooding, bathing, leisure reading, practicing handwriting, and painting. )
