Snack -- Vive le grudgefuck!

[themostepotente]

Well...

I just finished my second Snack -- 3000k. I'm quite pleased. The first one I actually wrote -- brilliant plan of action, executed poorly. I must go back and fix one of these days.

I love this pairing for a multitude of reasons;

They hate eachother.

They really hate eachother.

They really, really hate eachother.

So to all the gifted Snack writers -- amanuensis1, cluegirl, ellen_fremedon, fabularasa, isiscolo...

What is the key ingredient to writing this pairing and doing so convincingly?

IMHO, this is one, if not the most difficult slash pairings to pull off.

It's like...trying to snap a picture of your two-year old at Sears Portrait Studio :P

It's like...putting a pair of sunglasses and a big floppy hat on your dog, hoping he'll stay that way and strike a pose :P

They...just...won't...cooperate.

FYI -- I'd love to hear from everyone. If I have forgotten anyone that writes Snack in abundance, 'please' just give me a firm slap on the wrist, and I'll edit.

Whattsamatta for you, Dana? You give me great name -- you no leave me linky.

Seriously, I'd love to check out ellen_fremedon's stuff. Anything you suggest?

About your theory -- what about before Sirius was shipped to Azkaban? Couldn't it be that Sirius is just a bully? He and James picked on Severus for no good reason. That's a bitter pill to swallow.

Hey- big apologies!

And Sirius is a bully, no doubt. But he is a bully who has wasted his youth because of his stupid preconceptions of people ( Peter the biggest misconceptions of all) ANd if his other preconseptions weren't true, then what about ...

My thing though, withthis pairing, is while I can see Sirius wanting to at least tr with Severus, I have to see why ever Severus would want to with Sirius.

Now, I think it would be the other way around.

I can see Snape being into Black, but not Black being into Snape.

Ooh, I'll leave you the linky. (http://www.geocities.com/ellen_fremedon) Each one of Ellen's fics is brilliant, but I suspect it'll be Slowly, but Exceeding Fine (http://geocities.com/ellen_fremedon/Slowly.html), her long Snape/Black one, which you'll most enjoy.
