Snape Manor

[icarus]

Woah. I've just spent the last [insert ridiculous number because I lost count] of hours talking to cordelia_v about Snape Manor. She now knows the entire plot as it stands now, and why I've been struggling with it.

Do I want to write this story? Even after two years it continues to haunt me.

Am I the last person to read In Between Days by atrata? Because if I'm not and you haven't, you must read this, as it's the finest, most uncompromisingly relentless characterisation of Snape I've ever read. Snape/Harry, NC-17.

For the time being, I'm off to write Percy/Snape. Or perhaps Jack/Daniel, I'm not sure which, but I'm writing something today.

(I literally went to her house, grabbed the ms. off her desk, and mailed it off for her)

I am so impressed.

WG says that Percy would be too much work for Snape to dominate, but he just doesn't understand Percy drive to achieve: he's actually quite low-maintenance and useful. It's very hard to find a sub like Percy, who's persistent without being demanding, utterly obedient without being passive.

I am so impressed.

I'm not sure you'd be so positive, if you'd been in her shoes. I did warn her that I was going to come do that on Feb. 15th, but . . I don't think she took me seriously. When I took the ms and walked out with it, she was not pleased. But she had a problem getting tenure (as it later turned out), so she ended up thanking me, since she would have lost her job, if it hadn't been in press by then.

It's very hard to find a sub like Percy, who's persistent without being demanding, utterly obedient without being passive.

*snickers and shakes her head* Oh no, come to the American Historical Convention meeting. People like that will be easy to find there, I promise.

Allow me to fetch my net.
