Fanfiction Friday #9

Just some extra news before I start; Today is Emma Watson and Emma Thompson's Birthday, which is really wierd and awesome at the same time. It also happens to be the day the Deathly Hallows Part 1 comes out on DVD in America.

Since it's technically Hermione and Sybill Trelawney's birthday, I wish I had saved the Snape/Trelawney fic for this week, because I was totally unaware of this a week ago. So you might think I'm going to do a Snape/Hermione fic in celebration of Emma Watson's birthday, but you're wrong. I already have one ready to do. It's called Ridiculous.

My friend showed me this, and I was really reluctant at first, but curiosity got the better of me. It is a slash, but not a pairing you'd expect. So I'm saving that detail for the end. It doesn't really matter though, because you'll probably just scroll down anyway.

It's extremely well written, and it actually makes up for it being such a wierd pairing. In fact, it's so well written and has such a good plot that it starts to make sense. I was almost scared at how much sense it made, and was afraid all my interpretations were wrong, but then I had to remind myself that Snape isn't gay.

It even mostly goes along with Canon, so it isn't AU. It finds a way to denounce Snape's past with Lily and everything. It's only one chapter, but it's a long chapter. About the size of a chapter of an actual HP book.

There is some sex in it, and the description gets graphic at a couple parts...

The pairing is Snape/Karkaroff. I know some people have heard of it and actually like it, but I only recently found out about it, and was squemish when I started reading it. But then I liked it.

WHAT THE DEVIL IS GOING ON HEREEEEE?

Snape Quote of the Week #8

"Do you remember me telling you we are practicing nonverbal spells, Potter?"
"Yes," said Harry stiffly.
"Yes, sir."
"There's no need to call me 'sir,' Professor."

This is another one from The Half-Blood Prince, during their first DADA class with Snape.

When I first read this, I just wanted to go "OOOOHHHHH". It's such a pwnage moment. I love Severus to death, but Harry was being such a smart-ass there. Although, I did get really mad at Harry for disrespecting Snape like that. Plus, Snape must have felt really humiliated. Regardless, it's a hilarious scene, and it sucks they didn't include it in the movie.

Snape Insults YOU #8

This week, if you're hoping to hear some snarky comments and cruel insults, you might be disappointed. Snape's prepared to insult this guy, but decides against it and makes friends with him instead.

Snape Insults Has a Conversation With Alan Rickman

Good Afternoon, sir. Might I ask for your name?
Rickman. Alan Rickman... And yours? *shakes hand*
Severus Snape. Having a nice day?
Why, yes. Say, you don't have any tea, do you?
Of course. Accio Tea!
Wow, I wish I could do that.
Well, it's hereditary. Speaking of which, you look a lot like me.
I don't see it. Maybe it's the hair...
But we definitely have the same nose.
You don't suppose the Rickmans and the Snapes are related?
It's possible. So, tell me about yourself.
I've led a tragic life for the most part... Hundreds of girls fawn over me constantly, but the one I actually fall for always rejects me.
That's so wierd, me too!
And I'm probably just going to die loveless, and in a horribly painful way.
I've always thought the same about myself.
Well, it was nice meeting you, Severus. *shakes hand again*
You too, Alan.

Snape Video of the Week #8

Portraits in Dramatic Time

This isn't really a Snape video, but it has the next best thing; Alan Rickman. This was basically a short film he did that probably took one minute to film, but its slowed down so much it's seven minutes long. I, for one, think it's the sexiest thing I've ever seen.

Some of the stills in this are just so awesome, I want to die when I see it. It's sexy overload. There's also no sound, so you focus more on Alan's sexiness.

Weekly Snape-ly Event #8

This week has been slow for Snape News too, and once again, I just found more Spoilers for Deathly Hallows Part 2.

You probably won't want to read them either, but as I could find nothing else, I thought I might as well post it. I didn't read the article myself, but from things I've accidentally read elsewhere, I can tell you a couple things.

For one, the directors felt bad for making Snape's part minimal in Half-Blood Prince(which they should, the bloody gits), so they tried to get a lot of Snape in there. They're also changing some Snape scenes, but I'm not sure which. They better not change anything important, or I'll be furious. But of course, they think they're changing it for the better and a 'better cinematic experience'.

Anyway, if you're one of the kinds of people that want Spoilers, go ahead: http://www.reelmovienews.com/2011/04/producers-talk-harry-potter-and-the-deathly-hallows-part-2-spoil/

Snape Picture of the Week #8

Yeah, this is pretty silly. See, a while ago, I was searching on Google and started to type in "Snape with" and one of the suggestions was "Snape with pancakes on his head." Needless to say, I clicked on it, and this came up. Apparently, it's a viral photo(or was at some point)... Afterwards, I couldn't remember what I was searching for in the first place.

When you think about it, this doesn't even look anything like Snape. It just has his clothes(sort of... it has his cape floating on nothing) and his hair. I usually don't like chibi-style fanart, because I think chibi is for people that can't draw, but I just had to post this. It's just so random.

I'm really hungry for pancakes now.

Snape Site of the Week #1

There just aren't enough parts of Snape to lecture you guys about forever... So I'm introducing a new topic to replace How To Be Like Snape: Snape Sites. This will last 7 weeks, then there'll be a new topic, and so on.

Here, I'll be reviewing other Snape/Alan Rickman related websites.

So this week, I found the best Snape Canon website that could possibly exist. It has original drafts from JK Rowling, pretty much all the Snape quotes in all the books, and a full Snape timeline, plus other things. The timeline is really useful if you're writng a fanfic and want to stay as in Canon as possible...

I have it on my favorites bar for easy access, because it's so awesome! :D
