more recs, part two

[verdeckt]

Sorry for spamming you of late. I have to go offline for the next two days, so I wanted to get at least one more rec post in before then:

- Anonymous at hoggywartyxmas drew and wrote From Severus' Journal, December 24th (Severus Snape, Hermione Granger, G). This clever panel by one of the foremost artists in HP fandom will brighten your day with its witty plot

Whom are you talking about?? YOU, my dear, are an incredible artist, not just a professional, but a master of form and aesthetics who has brought me more pleasure than I can say. The first piece of yours I ever saw was indeed that incredible drawing for Infinite Remorse, and it electrified me. I don't know whom I love more, your bristling, unyielding, snarling, greasy-haired and palpable Severus or Albus with his damning frown and wide, voyeuristic eyes, his hands discreetly, yet so suggestively placed.

It would be an HONOUR, an absolute treat and delight and HONOUR were you to draw a banner!!!! Ah! We don't yet have a comm banner. As you know, Béa did one for the challenge that is almost complete, but the comm itself has nothing, and . . . You don't know how excited your suggestion has made me. Please let me compensate you for such work, in any case! and please do not feel obligated to do anything, should time and work and other cares end up making things difficult.

*hugs you*

I cannot wait to see your bastard!Snape idea materialise. You've galvanised and revived me on a day when I thought nothing could possibly go well, my dear!

You don't have to thank me - first, I haven't done it yet (eheh) and secondly, it is a pleasure for me to contribute to this fest! Please let me know what would you like me to write on it as a slogan. "Bring back the bastard"? "A fest to celebrate Snape's dark side"? I really have no imagination for slogans :/

Yesterday I forgot to tell you that I read "Tensile Strenght" - and albeit I found it hard to believe what Neville does in the second half of the fic, the first half was really good. Thanks for the rec!

I'm so glad you liked "Tensile Strength"! I have to agree with you about the second half -- it is very, very ugly (although beautifully written) -- but if there is ANYTHING that could have motivated Neville to such lengths, then his mother's death would be it.

And you are simply wonderful!! For the slogan, hmm, good question. Since Vizen made a "Bring Back the Bastard" banner already, perhaps something different is in order. Perhaps the banner could simply the name of the comm, deeply_horrible? Or the JKR quote: "It's fun to write about Snape because he's a deeply horrible person"? Hmm. I wish I were more creative. Perhaps we can ask P_I . . .
