The reveals have been up at Snarry-A-Thon for a little while, and I'm finally getting around to posting my entry. It seems like the entry went up forever ago, as it was posted on the first day! It was hard not to respond right away to all the wonderful comments I received.

This was one of the best, most relaxed and enjoyable fests I've participated in.

Title: Wormwood and Asphodel
Artist: stellamoon
Media: graphite pencil and Photoshop painting
Fanart: Snape/Harry for the Snarry-A-Thon at snape_potter
Rating:NC-17
Prompt: #126, Famous artworks reinterpreted
Summary: This is my hommage to Klimt's frieze "Ode To Joy"
A/N: Klimt's frieze, "Ode To Joy", was part of an exhibition in honor of Beethoven (that's a fan work, right?). The Beethoven frieze (of which there were multiple panels) interpreted Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with its closing chorus, “Ode to Joy,” and embodied Klimt’s belief that love and art were the keys to life. The frieze was presented in the exhibition with the accompanying quote; "Joy, thou gleaming spark divine. This kiss to the whole world!" It is interesting that Beethoven's symphony, in turn, was written as somewhat of an accompaniment to Schiller's poem, "Ode To Joy", which makes the Ninth Symphony, basically, a fan work, also! So, my Snarry-A-Thon entry is positively steeped in fandom tradition! I hope you enjoy.

Hi all!

In case some of you haven't been watching......there's a lot of great Snarry going on at Snarry-A-Thon! I've enjoyed a lot of it, but am having trouble keeping up with the sheer volume of entries. And combined with the H/D World Cup, there's just so much to see!

So, I'm only going to share a few of my favorites with you. I'll no doubt be excluding some real gems, as I haven't had a chance to read everything, and I avoid the chan as well, so you won't see me reccing that. Sorry, folks.

This fest is anonymous, but there's a fun ongoing contest for folks to guess who created each entry. Look for instructions on how to play at the end of each entry.

Fic favorites:

Felinated (PG-13); this is a fun story where Snape is a cat.
Seven Steps to Heaven (NC-17); This is both quirky and beautiful.
An Awkward Customer (NC-17); This is one of my favorites so far.
The GL, Oder Der Giftige Lautsprecher, nicht wahr? (R); This is a fabulous story. I couldn't put it down. And it gave me a number of very interesting visual images!

Art:

When a Rose Hue Devours (G)
Don't Cha (G)
Half Pint Harry(PG)

Ok, ok, so I didn't rec much art!!!! But hey, I'm a contributing artist in this fest, too, so I want to be careful and not give anything away.

Please take a look at some of these great entries and give their creators a well-deserved pat on the back. H/D World Cup isn't the only game in town, you know??
