How is it that the only resolution I made this year was to not sign up for any fests (until next year's yuletide) and yet (*checks calendar*) by January 7th, I've already signed up for the springtime_gen exchange (evidence - and your opportunity to join me - Here).

This suggests I have no will power. Could it be true?

	Security:	Public

Here it is - the master list of gifts posted in the Snupin Santa 2008 Fest! All gifts are listed in the order in which they were posted.

Gifts marked with an asterisk were included in the "Hot Rec/Hot Art" section of the Daily Snitch newsletter, although some might not have appeared yet because I just sent them in today.

The general stats are at the bottom of the post.

I added the names of those authors/artists who were attributed to each gift beneath, and the list of those who voted correctly is below. The results were quite interesting, especially when people who weren't in the fest were given votes, and one participant was voted as having written for herself. *G*

	Security:	Public

Since I can't draw pretty pictures and I suck at drabbles (or at writing anything with a quick turnaround time), I'm going to follow hogwartshoney's lead and simply offer my most heartfelt thanks to scribbulus_ink and her helpers jedirita, kopernik and real_life_rosy. Snupin Santa is a truly exceptional fest. I was so impressed with it when I joined fandom in 2006, and have had so much fun participating in it these last two years. Thank you so much for all your time and energy in making this such a wonderful, well-run fest. I don't think I'm going out on a limb by saying that Snupin Santa is what the whole lupin_snape community looks forward to each year -- I know I do -- and even tho the holidays can be stressful, this fest never disappoints. Thank you again, and please know that your efforts are appreciated. *smooches mods*

	Security:	Public

Official chat is on now, so come on in to the chat room and join us as we wait for the big snupin_santa reveal! We'll be in there at least 3 - 4 hours, chatting away about all things Snupin.

Other Quick and Dirty Community Reminders:

"Thank Yous" to the Snupin_Santa mods can continue to be posted whenever you finish them.

Snape's Birthday Challenge claims are ongoing through Friday here.

Time for new Thematic List Theme suggestions! Take the poll here.

It's not quite too late to post your Snupin Santa recs on IJ or on LJ. In fact, if you post recs after the reveal and want to link them there, authors and artists can always check back and send the Snitch their rec links themselves, as McKay will stop doing it on her own after the reveal.

The Desktop Calendar is here. Artists, feel free to post your individual pieces so people can gush at you. ~_^

The January Theme Search is Mystery stories, and it's here.

It's not too late to give your input on our Snupin: Bigger, Longer and Uncut (BLU!), which is our version of a Big Bang, here.

Finally, Kudos to bronze_ribbons, who always faithfully posts the Moonshadow update. I hope she'll be busy after Snupin Santa with everyone archiving their work there... *g*

love, lore

Two drawings for Vibishan's story, "Falconlord", PG, Art
An Astounding level of expert pencil or pen work into these. The images are both great moments, but it's the detail and work that went into elements like Remus' tunic and the titled Falcon that left my jaw hanging. It's so easy to ignore the work involved when the artist makes it all look so effortless with her clean style - give these a second look and be amazed!

I ask for so little/As the world falls down..., G, Art
A visual Labyrinth crossover casting Snape in the Jareth role and Remus as Sarah. There are two pieces here, of Snape alone and then of Snape and Remus in the dream sequence. It's an excellent juxtaposition of two universes. The art is bold and colourful as well as touched with magic and romance. Even if you're not familiar with the film, go look, because the art is just that interesting and beautiful.

Wedding Bell Blues, PG, 8k+
Summary: A best man has many duties. Including keeping the groom from making the mistake of his life.

Even the title is hilarious in the all-out farce that is the upcoming nuptials of Remus and Tonks. The story is told in Severus' strong first-person voice, but the author does an excellent job of avoiding overuse of the "I" sentence structure. The details here are rich and the story reads as quite "British", which is also fun. This is a solid read that carries you along effortlessly. And if you need more convincing, maybe this one last word will send you over to read it: Bridezilla!


*sigh* And that's all I was able to get to before the big reveal. But I've decided to do at least one more round of recs on Snupin_Santa anyway, and the authors and artists can do what they will with them, including sending them on to the Snitch on their own. McKay is a saint for trying to promote the participants' works during the fest, but it's time for everyone to take up the reins of responsibility again and send in their own three recs, if they happen (which I always hope they will!).

So, back with even more later! *HUGS ALL*

Cutting it close! But hopefully, I can squeeze in a few more before the reveal tonight.

( Recs, round 2 )

And that's all for now, because I need to go finish up some work on the master list before posting it this evening. Don't forget to stop by the lupin_snape IRC chatroom at 8:00 EST (-5 GMT) for an official ship chat! I'll probably have more recs later; one of my fandom resolutions is to read and rec more in 2009.

If work keeps going at the same rythm of today and Monday I think I'm going to evaporate.

It's been a call after another, after another, another, after another. Sometimes there was something like a three seconds pause, just the time for me to open the water bottle for a sip and stop an inch before it reached my lips -.-

And morons today too! This guy showered me with (stupid) questions about wi-fi connections (ignoring the fact that I'm only there to give technical support for HIS PHONE'S problems), but I answered him anyway, trying to be concise but easily understandable. And after I'd answered one by one his questions, at every @[£/§ one, he told me 'could you please repeat it all, I want to write it down', so I had to repeat every single thing, not just one but sometimes even twice, and the call turned endless...

It's such a pity that they taught us to be nice and kind to all customers, and try to fulfill their requests as much as possible.

Luckily I had my brand new thermos to keep me company! My colleaguess liked it too (mostly because they drank half of my my hot tea XD)


I heard LJ is being stupid again... I'll have to refresh my lj-archiving skills this year too. Not bad, really, as year beginnings go. I wonder if the whole structure will still be up by December... Oh well, there's always other blog sites.


Today too, be nice and click these! Please click! I didn't manage to catch a Christmassy egg or hatchling, but I want these ones to grow strong and beautiful!

	Subject:	what do you think of the word "dunderhead"
	Security:	Public

In fic, I often see Snape referring to others as "dunderheads". Why is that? Did it appear an inordinate amount of times in canon? Is it just a great word that is so Snape? Do fanfic writers overuse it?

He hadn’t been on the set long, but already Alec got the sense that others were avoiding him in between takes. Yeah, they weren’t supposed to like each other – on camera - but he’d never been treated so poorly by fellow actors before.

Going over lines for another audition, he sat quietly in a corner until they needed him. Then he noticed Alan Rickman skulking about. The other actors and crew were avoiding him too, and Alec wanted to jump up and should “This is Alan fucking Rickman!”

Severus Snape was right – they really were all a bunch of idiots.

I'd let the mail accumulate for a few days, and now have a couple of holiday cards to acknowledge - from mrowe (I think it's a little too early for Easter - it was here before Twelfth Night!), and from new_kid16. Thanks guys!

So today I should: balance checkbooks, call to make eye exam appointment, call to make mechanic appointment, walk Juno, check work email, write syllabus for upper-div class (the grad syllabus is nearly finished, worked on that last night). I was going to go in to campus today but couldn't seem to wake up this morning, so will go tomorrow instead.

Have not managed to start any ficlets. Hopefully on the commute tomorrow.
