#snapedom event

[deepperplexity]

Sneaky pre-post in July about Christmas... 👀

I've added RICKMAS2023 to my Tagging Masterlist - if you're a creator or reader who doesn't wanna miss out on this year's Christmasy Alan Rickman event you can add yourself to the tagging lists already!

Don't forget to reblog this so as many as possible have a chance at joining in and participating - fandom only stays alive and thrives when we all create and enjoy it together 🖤

✨Whoop-Whoop! It's gonna be a party!✨

My two contributions for P&P July event

[snapecelebration]

“Break out your best hats and robes, because a special event to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts has been announced by the Ministry of Magic. The noblest families of all are expected to attend, from the Malfoys to the Notts, and the soirée promises to be a night to remember.

However, what your humble correspondent knows is really on everyone’s minds is the mysterious wizard whose alleged death took place that same fated 2 May. Severus Snape was left for dead by the Dark Lord. Only following the tragedy did the Wizarding World come to learn of his true allegiance, but even after the dramatic and now mythical revelation, some things remain unsolved. Do not miss Rita Skeeter's most astonishing journalistic feat yet, as she reveals long-hidden truths and exposes lies, aided by a very exclusive source, and theorises on what might have really happened to Severus Snape.”

The Daily Prophet, 23 April 2023

How it works:

Art, writing, headcanons, meta – we’d love to share all of your creations with the rest of the fandom.

The prompts are:

Week 1 - The Muggle: Tobias and Eileen Snape; Childhood; Cokeworth; Friendship; Holiday

Week 2 - The Professor: Potions Master; Head of Slytherin House; Colleagues; Slytherin favouritism; Bullying

Week 3 - The Spy: Secret Society; Unforgivable; Vow; Right-hand Man; Occlumency

Week 4 - The Martyr: Shrieking Shack; Memories; Lonely; Sacrifice; Patronus

Week 5 -  The Survivour: Ghost; Freedom; Retirement; New Identity; Hero or Hunted

Don’t worry about tackling the themes in order, or about being late. In fact, if you have older winter-related works you’d like to show the Snapedom again, go ahead and send them in!

Either submit the post to our blog, or tag your own post using #snapecelebration.

“Tell me who you wanna be and I will set you free…”

“There's a darkness at the heart of my love, that runs cold, runs deep. The darkness at the heart of my love..for you!” (“Darkness at the heart of my love” by Ghost)

My heart beats for Severus Snape since I’ve read the first scenes of him in “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” 21 years ago. I remember a strong feeling of connection and recognition and I fell head over heels for this sarcastic, bitter dungeon bat…a feeling, which lasts up to the present day.

Probably the most important relation between Severus and me is the aspect of darkness. This man is not only surrounded by his dark environment…the darkness in himself, in his heart, is growing bigger with every day of his miserable existence.

My life was also shaped by several traumatic experiences. With each one of these events, my heart and my mind became darker and my inner walls grew higher. And now, that I’m scraping a living in literal darkness as a result of this fucking bitch of a disease ME/CFS, I’m perceiving the connection to Severus even more.

All I can do now, is to embrace my own darkness as an old friend…making my peace with her….and with myself. I imagine that Severus and I will find each other in our own darkness, no matter how deep we’re hidden inside. We will be each other’s light, that leads us home. We will break through the cage, we’ve built around ourselves…never leaving our sides.

And even if that sounds cheesy as fuck - and believe me, I know that it does - these fantasies are, what keeps me going! They’re feeding my stubborn will to fight myself back to life one day!

The Indian philosopher Osho once wrote “A certain darkness is needed to see the stars”…and this quote describes perfectly, what I’ve found here in our beloved Snapedom: I found some wonderful people…I found incredibly talented artists…and in some ways, I also found myself. You all are the stars in my darkness!

One of these stars is the brilliant artist and gem of a soul @dranna, whom I’ve commissioned to create this masterpiece of art out of a simple idea of mine. Dranna, my friend, you surpassed my expectations of this artwork in so many ways! I can’t thank you enough for your creativity and dedication to this beautiful piece of art! You made my heart swell with joy and gratitude with your drawing and with every glimpse of kindness, you’ve showed towards me. Thank you for everything! 🥹

🖤Severus & Julia🖤

Snapetober 2023

It's been awhile, my fellow sniends and snovers! While I haven't been active in Snapedom for over a year now (Genshin Impact claimed another one, I fear), I have not lost my love of our problematic fave, Severus Snape yet.

It was an honor to curate Snapetober prompts for you the past three years and I loved seeing all the content it inspired, but it feels a little unfair to hold onto an event for a fandom I no longer engage in and therefore, no longer give it the attention it deserves.

If you are wanting to participate in Snapetober for this year, past years prompts are still available for you to use! Whether you want to try a new approach at a prompt you've already done, or joined Snapedom too late to participate, they are there for you to pick and choose at your leisure! Snapetober has never had rules about what and when to post! I have some old prompts I never finished/uploaded, so perhaps I'll take this opportunity to finally share them! I also noticed that @momo-t-daye has come up with a fun and earthy themed list if you'd like to check it out! And of course, anyone is welcome to come up with and share a list of their own!

As always much snove to you all and thank you for always being a memorable fandom to me/making Snapetober such a fond memory for me :)

We've implemented a few easy to follow rules regarding nominations which can be read in the graphic above or on the nominations page. These are aimed at making the awards as fair as possible.

I have another question!

Our askbox is open, or you can ask/message one of us!

Wait, how do I nominate again?

Here!

[momo-t-daye]

@cerise-grenadine asked me for 1, 4, 11, 21, and 27 for the Snapedom AU Ask Game!

1.) Do you have a name and/or a tag and/or a master post for your AU (so I can peruse your blog and admire your creativity)?

I usually remember to tag my AU as: “Self-indulgent AU” here, on Ao3 I have the student years grouped as “Viridian by Volition” and Harry years mostly under “The Godmother”, my master post (more or less in story order and usually updated) is here (and pinned on my blog!)

4.) What your favorite thing about your AU? (Does it make you cackle with glee or do you break your own heart?)

I am very much a cackler rather than an angst-er and thinking about the change in relationship dynamics between my AU!Severus and various other characters— particularly Lily and Tobias and Harry and Sirius— is a good way to make myself cackle.  Especially when I can come up with absurd shenanigans that escalate into chaos and mayhem because Severus isn’t so painfully isolated/hated.

11.) Do you know if Severus going to escape the gravitational pull of the canon narrative/fate in your AU?

I love Snape!lives and one of the fun things for me in playing with AU thoughts is trying to figure out how various changes can cascade in ways that will lead to Severus surviving and getting to deal with the daunting task of living after the war and mission are over, so, yes, the gravitational pull of the canon narrative will be quite strong and some story beats are very clingy (…because it is what I like to build off of and reflect on), but I do expect the changes in interactions/relationships/events to provide sufficient escape velocity!

21.) Is there another canon character that plays a major role in your AU!Snape’s life?  What role do they play and how does it differ from their canon relationship with Snape?

Aside from his parents, Lily, the Marauders, the Malfoys, Voldemort, Dumbledore and Harry, hmm… none with quite as major role in AU!Sev’s life, but Tuney and Tonks both play larger roles in my silly little AU than in canon.  I am fascinated by the Cokeworth years and Tuney was there and she has so much story potential of her own!  Tonks, for her part, is recognized as one of the leading experts on Polyjuice Potion to her exasperation and it is all Severus’ fault (golly, I should get back to writing that…)

27.) Do you have a snippet of prose (or an art piece or a list of headcanons) from your AU that you particularly enjoy and want to share?

Heh heh heh, an excuse to share snippets from “Revising Their Stars” (the title is a bit of a pun, I really like puns and terrible wordplay and maybe that’s obvious) because I’m still happy I managed to do words! Sirius’ POV (post willow incident, but there were consequences in this AU that stymied the escalation that led to SWM):

Snape was hardly a simpleton, but he could leap to conclusions like a rubber frog with springs on. With the way his scrawny body seemed to be trying to meld arse first into the stone wall, he had probably hopped his head right into some dire soup.

(Because frogs can leap, and rubber bounces so a rubber frog could probably cross quite a distance, and once springs get added on even oceans are hardly a barrier; and then there’s the oblique reference to the “boiling frog” urban legend)

Severus Snape had such tar pit eyes. The gaze was dark and inexplicably sticky as he studied Sirius. There was no escape from that sort of stare. … … Severus Snape’s full attention was intoxicating. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad, drowning in those lightless eyes. His bones could rest with all the other skeletons buried down there.

(Maybe it’s Legilimency, maybe it’s Maybelline. Unfortunately the geology in the UK doesn’t appear to have anything comparable to the La Brea tar pits, but I liked the idea because tar pits are dark and dangerous and very capable of holding onto skeletons from the past, right?)

[ironborealis]

My contribution to snapedom this week:

"Some hatred resembles longing. It's impossible to get rid of." -- Moon Dong-eun, "The Glory"

Has anyone else been watching The Glory on Netflix? It's a KDrama about a woman seeking revenge against the students who bullied her in high school causing her to drop out. Bullying is an incredibly inaccurate way to describe what is essentially physical, emotional, and sexual abuse that goes unpunished by school and police officials because the main abusers are children of incredibly wealthy and powerful people. Sounds familiar, no?

Moon Dong-eun, our anti-heroine, spends the next eighteen years of her life gathering resources and dirt on her abusers, studying them, setting everything into place before she kicks off a bloody cascade of events that destroys the lives of her abusers.

I babble to you about KDrama because part of Moon Dong-eun's revenge against her primary bully is to blackmail her way into becoming the elementary school teacher of her bully's only child. Placing her former bully in real fear Dong-eun will hurt her daughter in revenge.

I could definitely see Severus being capable of pulling off that level meticulously plotted vergence against the Marauders... With James stunned and horrified when Harry writes home about the mid-semester replacement for Professor Lockhart -- Mr. Snape, who says he used to be friends with you and Mom, and Mr. Snape is the greatest why haven't you mentioned him before?

I don't know if I have the spoons to write it, but Severus getting to slowly drive each of the Marauders to their doom while keeping his hands mostly clean? Yes please.

I’m hosting this lovely event to create more content, to allow fans to connect and build the fandom further. There have been so many rumours about the Rickmaniac fandom dying, the Snapedom dying, there not being a fanbase for certain characters etc., but I must be in completely different circles from those who think that because I only see everything growing and growing - WHICH I LOVE! So, let’s build our fandom universe further this December!

🎄 RICKMAS - a challenge for all creators who love Alan Rickman or any of his characters! 🎄

HI DARLINGS! 2020 I created Snapemas, 2021 I converted it to Rickmas and I’m hopeful about keeping this tradition going for many years to come. I have my darlings to thank for that! You have asked me, even before Rickmas 2021 ended, about what’s going to happen with Rickmas this year - even asking me for specific continuations before I had even posted the last fic for last year's Rickmas 😂👍 - which helped me see how important this is to continue with. So, I know you’re excited about this tradition I’ve started and will continue with for as long as I possibly can, but I still need you to help spread the word and help the creators joining in to spread their work too. We create free content because we love it, but we share it to have people join us. So, share fanwork, share content, spread stuff all over and show your appreciation towards all creators working hard out of love - or spite perhaps 😂❤

Now, you all know the drill! I will give one prompt for each day up until the 24th of December. Do with it what you wish - make it the theme of the fic/drawing/song/video/etc., make it a feature or simply mention it in a corner. It’s all good no matter how you choose to create with these prompts! All creative things are welcome, everyone is welcome to join in the fun and if you do one or all prompts is completely up to you!

I’m hosting this lovely event to create more content, to allow fans to connect and build the fandom further. There has been so many rumours about the Rickmaniac fandom dying, the Snapedom dying, there not being a fanbase for certain characters etc., but I must be in completely different circles from those who think that because I only see everything growing and growing - WHICH I LOVE!

So, let’s build our fandom universe further this December!

This year’s tag is rickmas2022 - make sure to tag your work with it so we can all find your posts darlings - and I’m hoping that even more creators and consumers join in the fun this year!

Let’s yet again spread some love for our dear Alan Rickman and his characters this year!

On to the challenge list! ...drum roll please...

Snapril Fool’s Day 2022

Welcome!

This is a five-day April Fool’s themed event created for the Snapedom.

The five days are March 28, 29, 30, 31, and April 1st, which is April Fool’s Day.

Background:

April Fool’s Day is a tradition that has been active since the 1700s at least if not before (some sources say that it’s been active since 1582 in France, where they call it ‘Poisson D’Avril’, or ‘April Fish’). The event typically starts on the day(s) before April 1st and includes April 1st itself. The tradition consists of each person having to do a practical joke or a prank on someone else, or saying some wildly untrue statement (or a lie) and then revealing that it was a joke by saying “April Fools!” or the equivalent in other countries.

✨ Rules and Prompts below the cut! ✨

💜 Rules 💜

Each day of the event has two prompts, and you can do one or the other, or both. You can do this event weeks or months later, you don’t have to be on time! Just tag the event tags or the blog url to get reblogged!

Some prompts may have explanations underneath them in the highlight in case some people need clarifications.

NOTE: Snapril Fool’s Day has four prompts, not two. Just to spice things up!

MANDATORY: Your responses to the prompts must include Severus Snape. Ideally they’d mention or show Snape at least once. In a perfect situation, they’d feature your favorite Snape ship or your least favorite Snape ship or a crack ship or a rare pair. But generally speaking you get a pass as long as it’s Snape related!

💛 Prompts 💛

March 28:

I. CHARACTER: Choose a character — what sort of prank would they play on their friends or romantic interest on April Fool’s Day? Who would fall for the prank and who wouldn’t?

II. CLEVERNESS: Prank your followers by making a long post / artwork / fic that is Snape related but highly unusual for you. Say whatever you want to say in order to convince your followers — it has to be outrageous but still slightly believable — the goal is to trick people into believing you. (For example make a post about your NOTP saying that you love it, or your OTP saying that you can’t stand it, come up with a new Snape pairing saying that it’s the best, make a crack ship post saying you love them forever, etc.) In the absolute last tag under the post put #snaprilfools — and then see which of your followers fall for the joke and who doesn’t!

March 29:

I. Acting the fool / being foolish

II. Gullible / Naive

March 30:

I. Medieval AU. Go back in time to the Medieval Wizarding World. What is it like? Who – and where – is Snape?

(ideas: a king’s court, knights in shining armor, ladies of the court, jousting matches, court jesters, tournaments, a ball, feasts)

II. Jester’s Privilege. What can Snape get away with (humor, jokes, pranks, lies) when he’s interacting with Dumbledore or Voldemort that no one else can get away with?

Jester/Court Jester: a professional joker or ‘fool’ at a medieval court, typically wearing a cap/hat with bells on it and carrying a mock sceptre.

Jester's privilege is the ability and right of a jester to talk and mock freely without being punished by the king or anyone else.

March 31:

I. PRANK. Joke shop / Weasleys’ Wizarding Wheezes

II. EXCURSION. Hogsmeade Outing

April 1 / Snapril Fool’s Day:

I. ONE. April Fool’s Day at Hogwarts

II. TWO. April Fool’s Day in the Wizarding World

III. THREE. April Fool’s Day with the Order of the Phoenix

IV. FOUR. April Fool’s Day with the Death Eaters

💛💜 Happy creating! 💛💜

The Snolidays are back!!

The holiday season is upon us and we’re inviting everyone to partake in the Snolidays 2023 Fest! A perfect chance to revel in headcanons, have Severus demonstrate your favourite traditions, and share the holiday spirit with all of us! Winter holidays of all religions and nations are welcome and encouraged!

How it works:

Art, writing, headcanons, meta – we’d love to share all of your creations with the rest of the fandom.

In order to help spark the inspiration, we’ve chosen a theme for each of the four weeks leading up to Christmas: ‘Frost’, ‘Lights, ‘Preparations’, and ‘Festivities’.

We’ve also included 7 prompts for each week. You can combine several of them in one piece, skip the ones that don’t inspire you, or even create multiple works for a single prompt!

Don’t worry about tackling the themes in order, or about being late. In fact, if you have older winter-related works you’d like to show the Snapedom again, go ahead and send them in!

Either submit the post to our blog, or tag your own post using #snolidays2023 and #snapecelebration.

Don’t be shy about sending us any questions or requests you might have regarding the event.

Happy Holidays!

All you need to do is say the prompt(s) and use the hashtag #snolidays2020 on your post (which could be meta, drawing, writing, or headcanons)! Thank you so much to everyone who expressed interest in participating! I’ll reblog this version so that everyone can see it. 

just so we’re clear, you are allowed to:

combine prompts

do them in any order

do them after the prompt day

do them before the prompt day

do them weeks later

post a bunch of them at once

make it with more characters than just snape (as long as its pro snape and it is centered around snape)

make it a ship, any ship as long as it’s tagged

make it severitus

make your post in the form of (but not limited to): writing, drawing, meta, or headcanons

make it a reader-insert, oc, or self-insert

and if you don’t want to participate, that’s fine too! i understand there is also snapemas going on and deepperplexity made some WONDERFUL prompts for it! if you would like to use any of these prompts, feel free to do so with the hashtag + day of prompt!

since tumblr eats tags sometimes, you could @snolidays on your posts if you wish! 

and feel free to expand on the prompts in any way you please!
