Ack. Note to self: MUST GET GOING ON SNAPEDOM SUMMER FEST FIC. Maybe having Fridays off this summer will help. I've been woefully drifting on the plot-bunny failboat here. :-/

This is a non-anonymous exchange and the two of the three drawings I could write stories for that were in fests have been revealed, so... any ideas, anyone?

Severus helps Draco brew Elixir of Euphoria (gen, G)
Last Kiss (Severus/Lily, G)
Beltane Rite (Severus/Harry with Draco; NC-17/NWS)

edit: Oh good god. [livejournal.com profile] geri_chan wrote ~20,000 words for hers and posted it already (this is the 1/3 of the way through a post-whenever-you're-done kind of schedule). I am SO going to be made of fail.

I'm so sick of Snily

You! Outta my pool!

The only thing I've "heard" for the Beltane Rite piece so far is some rambly atmospheric drivel written from Draco's perspective about what he's seeing and experiencing. Not very Snapey, for one thing, and I've never tried to write Draco in my life.

Real-world magico-religious stuff in Harry Potter stories really gets my knickers in a twist so I don't think I'll be doing a real "Beltane rite" kind of thing...

Oh come on - I'm just over-Snilied right now. Too much of a good thing can be...too much.


I think it would be interesting from the Snape perspective, actually, but there aren't many topics that wouldn't appeal from his perspective. (I was thinking 'Snape has to educate Potter on old-world wizarding custom for the rites might be fun. lots od 'dunderhead!' possibilities there...:P) Of course, I am fascinated with the idea that, essentially, the magical world sealed itself at a certain point in the Middle Ages and what hold-overs from that time have remained (especially with the purebloods) v. what has shifted as 'new blood' has come in from outside...
Gah, it's a medievalist thing, I think.
