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.

I've always found that antagonist-slash, Snape-Black included, is easier to write in some ways than buddy-slash, because it tends to generate its own plot.

Yes! This was one of the points made during the ConneXions panel on antagonistic pairings, and pretty much the reason I prefer antagonistic pairings. The plots are, to me, more interesting.

A-fuckin'-men! Preach the slashy gospel!
