    Arionrhod and I are looking for a story that's Remus/Severus/Regulus, but it starts off with Remus and Regulus together, not Severus/Regulus, and Severus was brought in later. Remus hated the way Sirius was treating his brother, and he and Reg got involved. Marauders Era, not very long (we think).

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Oh my dearest Snupineers, I don't do this often... but it is driving me (and Zephre... who I've bugged) CRAZY.

    I'm looking for a fic where Remus is confined to a wheelchair, and Severus is forced to care for him. Dark!Harry, who is clearly trying to both keep Remus secluded and get Severus thrown into Azkaban.

    Help??? Pwease?

    Recipe: Hershey's "Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate Cake
    Title: Takes the Cake

    Author/Artist: Arionrhod and McKay

    Excerpt: [Remus admired] the large photographs of cakes which decorated the corridor. They were all winning confections from past shows, and he couldn't help a small feeling of pride at the sight of his own two winning creations. He always did his best to create cakes which tasted as good as they looked, and he rather thought that his own specialty, which was fondant, made his compare quite favorably to the other winners...

    ...When Severus entered the conference room in the wake of his network liaison, Pansy, he swept his gaze around the room, curious to see whom he'd be competing against since the network had kept the participants list hush-hush. He'd only competed against one of them - Potter, whom he considered an arrogant little snot - but he knew the other two by reputation. It took considerable will power not to roll his eyes at the sight of Trelawney, whose works were praised as being "avante-garde", but which he called "artsy-fartsy". He'd take great satisfaction in seeing her eliminated, especially since he could scarcely believe she'd scraped a win to qualify her to be here in the first place.

    He was better pleased by the sight of the third competitor; he'd never competed against Lupin, but he'd seen the man's work in other competitions, and he could - albeit grudgingly - admit that Lupin had deserved his wins. Severus himself had two photographs of winning cakes hanging on the wall of fame he and Draco had passed on the way in, which put him ahead of Trelawney and even with Lupin, if he remembered correctly.

    Commentary: Well, it's cake! Granted, it's not as cool or as fancy as those created by the competing chefs in the story, but still... cake!

    Recipe: Split Pea Soup
    Title: Snark and Bark RPG

    Author/Artist: Arionrhod and McKay

    Excerpt: When Severus stepped out of the Floo, Remus turned to him with a smile, taking his arm and heading toward "their" table. It had been some time since they had been to the pub, and even longer since Remus had been there with his memories intact. "I have to admit, I'm dying for a cognac," Remus murmured as he slid into a chair, loosening the sling so that he could rest the baby's weight in his lap. "I'm looking forward to us having a drink and relaxing. But no pea soup. Gah! I can't believe I actually ate that stuff!"

    "Not only did you eat it," Severus said with a smirk, "but you craved it." He might let Remus forget that in another thirty years or so, but not before.

    Commentary: Arionrhod and I began writing Remus (her) and Severus (me) in the RPG in 2004, and pea soup became part of our characters' story. It began when Remus craved pea soup during his pregnancy despite not actually liking pea soup; Severus discovered he did like it, and it became one of his favorite dishes. The love it/hate it dichotomy is now a long-standing foundation for teasing between them that continues to this day.

    Snupin Santa Contest: Stuff the Stockings!

    [info]snupin_santa is coming and he's bringing presents to all us good little girls and boys. And for one especially enthusiastic Snape/Lupin fan, a hard-copy of Chocolate & Asphodel, v. 2!

    A sexy stocking for the Stuff the Stockings ContestStuff The Stockings '09!    A sexy stocking for the Stuff the Stockings Contest

    The rules are simple (sort of, hee!). Promotion posts for the exchange on other communities, comments left on Snupin_Santa entries, and recommendations will all be awarded points. Whoever gathers the most points from right now to January 6 at Midnight EST will be the Ultimate Stocking Stuffer!

    More Detailed Rules and Point Scoring Under The Cut! )

    That all sounds great, but what do I win again?
    The person who amasses the most points will win a bound copy of Chocolate & Asphodel, v. 2 UNLESS....

    If the winner reaches more than 75 points, he or she may have their choice of the following: C&A2 bound (will need to be mailed), paid journal time (6 months, any journal or blog, even LJ), fan art from a well known Snupin artist, an icon set (negotiable), or volunteer uploading of up to 15 works to Moonshadow.

    We will award second- and third-place as well with smaller, but still cool! prizes.

    So, what do you think? Questions, clarifications? We made this a point-based contest so that everyone would be starting from a level playing field. It's open right now - you can make a promotional post right away - and will close January 6. I am looking for a second volunteer to count comments on the gift posts at the web site, IJ and LJ. The lovely [info]zephre has already volunteered to be one of our counters, but we want a second one for verification. If you're interested in volunteering, please write me at the mod mail (lupinsnape @ gmail.com, no spaces).

    I can't wait to see everyone stuffing the Snupin Santas' stockings! ^_^

    Snupin Santa 2009: Coming Soon!
    A week from today, posting will begin for Snupin Santa 2009, and there are just a few things I want to go over before we get started.

    Posting will begin on December 1, although I can't guarantee I'll stay up until midnight in my time zone (GMT -5) to post the first gift, which means it may be late on December 1 or maybe even December 2 for those of you in earlier time zones. Sorry about that, but Santa has to sleep.

    POSTNG:
    I will post either one or two gifts per day throughout December with the exception of December 25 and December 31, on which there will be no gifts posted. The big reveal will be on January 7, 2010.

    All gifts will be posted in full on the Fest website with announcements containing basic header information and a direct link to the gift on both Livejournal and Insanejournal, but I won't be posting the full text/image of the gift either at IJ or LJ.

    So basically, you can receive updates when new gifts have been posted in one of three ways:

    Snupin Santa Fest archive
    lupin_snape on Insanejournal
    lupin_snape on Livejournal

    The gifts posted most recently will appear on the main page of the archive (scroll down until you see the red bar reading "Most Recent"), and all gifts posted within the last 14 days will appear on the Recently Added page. All gifts posted for the 2009 fest will appear on the Snupin Santa 2009 category page in alphabetical order by title.

    Let me remind anyone who has not used eFiction before, if you don't like the look of the site, you can change it. There are detailed instructions on how to change the appearance of the site temporarily or permanently on the Help page (along with other useful info). There are several other "skins" to choose from, so everyone should be able to find something they like or at least can live with if they don't like the default skin for whatever reason, but if not, they're welcome to find an eFiction 3.0 skin they do like and send me the zip file of it.

    Fest-related news will be posted to the News section of the website (scroll down until you see the red bar reading "Site News") as well as on IJ/LJ. The most recent news posts will be on the main page, and all news posts, including older ones, will be in the News archive.


    LEAVING FEEDBACK:
    Unfortunately, anonymous commenting is not enabled at the Fest site because someone posted a link to a piece of art on the site in an unprotected area (either they didn't have the "limit inclusion in searches" checked on their journal or they posted the link to a site/forum that doesn't block search spiders), which resulted in that piece of art being flooded with 4000 spam comments. The Snupin Santa Fest site itself does block search spiders, and only one particular piece was targeted, which is how I know it came from an unprotected link. At any rate, it forced me to disable anonymous commenting for the site; I didn't want to do it, but I didn't want to leave the site vulnerable to more deluges of spam either.

    However, that does not mean you must register for an account at the Snupin Santa site in order to leave feedback for our authors and artists. You have three options for leaving feedback:

    1) Sign up for/sign in to your account on the Snupin Santa Fest archive

    OR

    2) Leave a comment on the individual gift announcement post on Livejournal. All gift announcement posts on LJ will have comments enabled.

    OR

    3) Leave a comment on the individual gift announcement post on Insanejournal. All gift announcement posts on IJ will have comments enabled.


    NOTE TO PARTICIPANTS:
    1) Once the gift you created is posted, whether it's a story or art, if there is a major problem that needs to be fixed, you may email snupin_santa @ yahoo.com and one of the elves will fix it. Minor tweaks, such as typos, will need to wait until you can fix them yourself in January when I flip the gifts from the Snupin Santa account to the author/artists' accounts.

    2) Writers might also want to check the text of their story to make certain it's all there. I double-checked to make certain there weren't copy/paste errors when uploading long stories, but accidents happen.

    3) DO NOT leave any comments on IJ, LJ, or the archive that might reveal who you are! This is an anonymous exchange, and we want to keep everyone guessing until the master list is posted in January. You won't be able to answer feedback comments anonymously on the website, so you'll have to wait until January to reply, but I'm sure in the interest of maintaining the anonymous fun, no one will be offended by the lack of a speedy response.

    4) I strongly advise using the comment tracking system at both IJ/LJ, even if you don't normally use one or the other. There are people who will comment only at IJ and people who will comment only at LJ, so if you don't check your gift post at both places, you might miss some feedback. If you have an account at IJ/LJ, all you have to do is click the thumbtack icon at the top of the post. If you don't have an account at both places, you can always bookmark the post and check back.

    5) I will NOT accept revisions of gifts that have already been completed and submitted after November 26. If you've already requested that we use a revised version of your story/art or you send in a revised version by the 26th, the revised version will be uploaded to the Snupin Santa fest site. However, I'm setting a deadline for revisions because I've already begun uploading gifts, and I'm busy enough as it is without having to deal with a flurry of last minute changes and having to upload gifts twice. After the 26th, you'll have to wait until January when I flip the accounts to make any major changes/revisions because I need time to get the gifts uploaded and ready to go by December 1.

    That's all our preliminary business out of the way, so all that's left now is to wait for the Snupin Santa sleigh to arrive! There will be over 50 new RL/SS stories and graphics posted between December 1-30 - all eras, all ratings, threesomes, long stories, short stories, smutty art, sweet art, romance, dark themes, holiday cheer, tear jerkers, and happy endings. No matter what flavor of Snupin is your favorite, I guarantee there will be something for everyone!

    Author’s Note: In response to [info]the_flic's pleading for more Snarry, I've decided to post this fic. It's not very good, I'm afraid. It was my first attempt at Snarry, written pre-DH. The essential idea behind the story - the idea that sparked this fic - isn't as well-explored and clear as I wanted it to be. I think. You might think otherwise.

    Request: Holiday art/icons....

    All right, last year, I made a call for Snupin holiday icons in about mid-December: Our Holiday Icon Round-Up from last year.

    This year, I thought it would be nice if we could start earlier with fresh icons. First, anyone is welcome to snag any icon on the old post.

    Second, if any artists (traditional medium or otherwise) would like to offer brand new holiday art to icon, or would like to make icons from holiday art they'd made in the past, please link your offerings here or make a new post to the community.

    And there is a hidden third - if any artist would like to send me holiday art for iconing as gifts for [info]snupin_santa participants only (usually given at the end of posting), I'll icon them (or you can!) and send them on to McKay. You can email me art for SS participants at: lupinsnape @ gmail.com - take out the spaces around the @. McKay will probably made a separate icon request as well, so this is just to add additional icons to the mix.

    Are you starting to get excited for [info]snupin_santa? WHEE!
