Snapecase Reveals

snapecase has posted its reveals, and they are a combination of wonderful surprises and moments of correct-guessing satisfaction (aha, I knew that was you, perverse_idyll and camillo1978, and I suspected you, duniazade).

The flist acquitted itself admirably. No one will be surprised to learn that the awe-inspiring In Infinite Remorse of Soul is by perverse_idyll. The excellent No Pepper-Up for the Brave comes from duniazade. That sizzling-hot Step On is by camillo1978. And that clever story from the pov of Snape's nightclothes, A Merry Yarn, is by dreamy_dragon73.

Probably no one will be surprised, either, to find that I wrote Mutability. (What??? Kelly wrote the lone Severus/Minerva?)

Part of what I love about fests is that you discover wonderful authors that you never knew before. It was last year's Severus's Birthday Shorts fest (the precursor to Snapecase) that introduced me to duniazade, for instance. And this year, the great find is a writer named musamihi, author of two of my favorite stories from the fest: To Dwell on Dreams and Wherewithal. To write one fabulous story per fest is an accomplishment, but to write two, with one of them as a pinch-hit...well. Let's just say I'm impressed. (I don't mean that musamihi is a "new" author, just that she's new to me. I looked at her profile [yes, I'm a shameless fangirl stalker; why do you ask?], and she seems to write mostly H/D and Malfoys, which may be why our paths haven't crossed [despite my happy association with my various darling H/D friends; this means you, dear melusinahp and vaysh11 and themostepotente.]) But you can bet I'm going to be checking out musamihi's other works. And she's signed up for Beholder, too!

Well, enough gushing and squeeing for now. I have a dysfuncentine fic to start finish.

Oh, one last thing. . .iulia_linnea, the excellent Snapecase mod, is going to run another interesting fest this summer, called hogwarts_houses. Check it out; it looks like fun.

(snapecase is going to run again next year, too, which means I'll have some hard decisions to make. I don't know if I can do both Snapecase and snapelyholidays again, not when they have almost the same writing period and deadlines.)
