Dear sshg-giftfest writer...
Hello there! By now, you'll have my prompts and be going "OMFG what DOES she mean?"
Let me assure you - I am happy with what the muse sends you. Muses are tricky little blighters - just ask Oglaf's Muse. (Warning - while these two are quite clean, most of Oglaf isn't).
Speaking of which, go where the Muse leads you. If you find it's demanding smut, I'm quite happy with that. If the story's muse insists on clever dialogue and only a kiss at the end, then that's how it goes. If you find it's calling for sweet looks and handholding, I'll want proof that this is really Severus and not some sort of imposter.
What I *do* want is story. A plot. Something happening. Write it vaguely plausible, and you'll find me a very happy little reader. So long as there's a narrative of sorts, I shall jump for joy and praise you.
And if it's craftses or artses you're gifting me, you are wonderful also. That Muse can be a tricky beastie, and that you heed her sweet call is gift enough.
Whatever happens, I thank you for taking the time and effort to create this. Thank you.
