Two quick pimps, before I forget

Oct 13, 2009 15:00

Pimp the first: I did finally manage to finish off the first installment in a drabble series that I've started, inspired by the Nine Levels of Hell prompt at grangersnape100. It's here: Cocytus. Be warned that it is angsty, although not without hope, and future installments will eventually be lighter in tone. Still, as the title might suggest, Snape is in ( Read more... )

beat you on some noms...worki is killing me...so I am going to lurk at best.

~nods~ I'm snowed under, too. I just need to start filling out nominations now, even if it's just a few at a time, because I'd hate to miss the cutoff.

I er...haven't voted yet.

When I do, Shug, Renita and the rest of the awards mods may KILL me. Because I have a list, oh, yes I do, and a comment can only take about 20 noms.

And I have 14 comments worth... *cough*

And that drabble series BETTER get lighter, missy. I mean, after all, you only started poor Snapey at the very lowest, coldest depth.

I think it's quite promising really the first circle of hell you are beset by the winds of passion. Oh, yes.

O.o 14 comments worth?!? Wow! Color me impressed. But that's wonderful, really. I've tried to come up with several for each category, and the Mrs. Scower's category in particular is going to invite a lot of nominations.

It will get lighter. It will! I promise. He has nowhere to go but up, right? ...Right?

Very true! As Dicky pointed out (and I think she's absolutely right), he yearns for love. It isn't all going to fall into place for him at once, but he does have an inkling now that it's something he wants and needs.

There are always nominations every round that do make me want to pull my hair out by the roots. You just don't know how people might nominate--so I figure the best strategy is to vote for *everything* I like I could see on the nomination list wherever it could fit and not want to scream--particularly at the thought of it winning. But that means a very, very long list of noms.

I have faith! And really, that's straight out of canon after all--for pity's sake the man cries over a picture. This isn't a Voldemort--he was capable of love. He did love. And every one else capable of loving Rowling killed off at least had someone who loved them back--who ( ... )

Ah, I can see that strategy. Actually, that's a very good idea. There are always a few things that make me... um, tilt my head in polite befuddlement. But I accept that there are certain stories that, for whatever reason, are insanely popular with one segment of fandom while leaving me entirely cold. ~shrugs~ Can't like them all!

And every one else capable of loving Rowling killed off at least had someone who loved them back--who mourned him or her. ~nods fervently~ Yes, yes and yes! I think his yearning for love is very much canon, which is why he attaches himself to Lily (the first person to show him affection) with such desperate devotion. Boy!Severus is certainly starved for love, and I think that adult!Severus is, too; he's just learned to hide that need under sarcasm and defense mechanisms and other perverse distancing behaviors ( ... )
