Look what angriest found!!! Book. Book. Book. Earth book.

A YouTube fat rant! Lots of fun.

Mr Lee has a CatCam.

Finally, in honour of the forthcoming Potterdammerung, some fan art: Draco and Snape, just past Half-Blood Prince.

I just searched for "snape" on DeviantArt and it came up with eight and a half million items.

ETA: Oh thank goodness. I think that's the total number of items in the whole site.

An illuminating essay from ranalore on character vs archetypes in fan fiction. LJ has meant my proper introduction to metafandom, if that's the right word - fans of multiple texts who my move between and combine them (eg Harry Potter doujinshi). In Australia at least, Doctor Who fandom is an entity unto itself, with only tenuous connections to wider media or literary SF fandom, whereas here fandom comes first and texts second.

The Guardian asks: Why do we still fall for Mr Darcy?. Speaking of archetypes, he and Mr Rochester have something to do with Snape fan fiction.

It's that man again: behold, the first unofficial James Callis Web site.

I'll bet you've already heard of the remote that can turn off public TVs. I heard on the radio that there's now a thingy that can prevent all but emergency mobile phone calls in cinemas. We need one of those for the library, and also a device which causes the sudden demise of students using Hotmail on the research computers. Preferably not a messy demise, as the carpet is still new; perhaps something which leaves one smoking shoe as a warning to others.

Sent off the story after epic effort last night. The inevitable result: another ton of Snape art. We pass the savings on to you!

(These Snape art postings are all listed in the Memories, though I'm tempted to create a Web page / additional LJ just for them since there are so many.)

These are all work safe.

A number of groovy Snape pix at the Deviant Art gallery of sefie77, including this bout of utter madness.

Look at the incredible tension in thethreefoldme's Slumbering Snape.

The sweet Hagrid and Young Snape by lyntek.

Also sweet: Remus/Snape by linnpuzzle (and scroll down to the remarkable sketch below it). Also check out Lily and Snape.

While I'm no chan fan*, I do like this bed-raggled Snape by noirenails. (I'll just imagine that's a grownup whose head is peeking from beneath the covers.)

As you know, as a non-artist I'm always intrigued by renderings of His Snapeness in different media and styles, such as charcoal, pools of dark ink, tablet (funny use for medication but there you are), caricature, serious caricature, extreme caricature (I think he looks like Ringo), and some sort of computer thing.

And dancing. omg x 10000.


* With the exception of anything whatsover by brevisse. Her Snape and Harry are an old married couple anyway.
