snapes I have known

[pauraque_bk]

All the recent talk about fanon!Snape varieties has inspired me to do some cartooning. I should clean it up and make a Snapes Of The World poster. In the meantime, I've made it into a quiz instead. To be taken with a shaker of salt, of course.



You are an Orthodox Snapeist.

You take Canon!Snape at face value -- like JKR
says, Snape is "a deeply horrible
person". You like to write/read stories
where he's portrayed as supercilious, unfair,
often undignified, and sometimes downright
cruel. You may accept some partial
explanations for his behavior when they're
offered in canon, but you're still pretty hard
on him, and don't like to let him off the hook.
The guy's a nasty, unwashed git -- it says so
in the books!


What kind of Snapeist are you?

Oh, and a GIP. General idea stolen from caesia390. My my, a GIP and a quiz in the same post -- I'm becoming quite the little LJ-er now...

Great icon. (Although I think Peter looks prettier in your rat icon version of him. Sorry Peter, sorry Tim Spall.)

And I took the quiz and came out as an Orthodox!Snapist. I would have expected to teeter on the brink of Conservative!Snapist, since I do tend to cut him a little slack from time to time, but I guess maybe I just can't bury my head in the sand and ignore his faults sufficiently for that.

Thank goodness I wasn't revealed as a Reconstructionist Snapist though. I view that as about on a par with insisting that Alex Krycek have a full set of arms in every story you read/write that's set after Terma, whether it's supposed to be AU or not. Sure, the extra arm looks good on him, but I'm a little too wedded to wanting my fanfic to stay vaguely true to its original universe...

It's funny, I come out as Orthodox too, but I'm sure that when I write I slip into Conservative mode.

btw, very cute icon. I can so see Peter thinking that...

I was looking up your LJ to comment on your voyeur!draco fic (which i sadly cannot remember the name of) and lo! I see my own name. >:}

not sure what GIP stands for. glad you like the icons. there's just something so seductive about the Death Eaters... to me, anyway. They're so EVIL. Heartless, shameless... Me with my iota of morality, I would draw the line at actually harming people. But I admire their ruthlessness.

Anyway.... Your fic!!! I loved the relationships you conveyed. Lucius's subtle domination of Severus, the tension as Severus resisted, felt... ashamed? More like embarrassed, I suppose, at being caught in a compromising position. And Lucius emphasizing his power by not acting ashamed at all.

Draco seemed a bit... soft. Perhaps just young. I dunno. It's not a specific grievance, just something that didn't entirely jive with my own mental picture of him.

However, I adore the interaction between Draco and Narcissa. The way they're extremely comfortable around each other, understanding each other but never expressing that understanding. The same thing is on both their minds, but Narcissa cuts herself off, and Draco barely says anything at all. I feel like I understand their entire relationship as well as the way they both view Lucius... The entire Malfoy household, really, just from that fic.

Ahhh so well done! Kudos.

I'm a Conservative Snapeist. I would call that Realist, but ah well... >:}

I got Orthodox!Snape too, a judgement with which I wholeheartedly concur, though if one wants to write this character in any kind of relationship one has to let tiny glimpses of Conservative!Snape/Reform!Snape shine through to make it even remotely believable.

That is the coolest icon yet, Eo.
