Sorry guys-- I've been fairly absent due to getting a new job and holding down a part time job too. @___@ So it's been fairly exhausting. I know I proposed a contest for June, but that never came to fruition simply out of the hectic maniac lifestyle I'm now living >>
When things settle down, I'm hoping we can have one.
Anyhoo, I figure now would be as good a time as any to have a discussion about Snape.
So how about one on pairings? Who do YOU like with Snape?
I personally tend to favor two Snape pairings. Snape x Lily, and Snape x Lucius.
Snape x Lily is a standard for me. Snape x Lucius was the first slash pair I ever did in Harry Potter, and I personally see them finding solace within each other.
That's not to say I do not enjoy others, like Minerva x Snape- those are just the two pairings I've worked with before. Though I do admit, when it comes to our favorite potions professor, over the past few years I've grown to see a slight problem with pairing him up with anyone save Lily as it's out of character for him!
I've never come across this problem with anyone else before in any of the fandoms I enjoy. But Snape loving anyone other than Lily has grown odd to me as someone who enjoys excellent character portrayals.
And then of course, I smack myself upside the head for thinking like that as this is meant for fun XD Part of me is such a stickler, I ruin my own fun
So what about you all? What are your thoughts on Snape pairings?
