Changes to your SSFC Council

We regret to announce that Adz has resigned as our Club Co-president. We'll miss her on the council and we sincerely hope that this frees her up to be even more excellent in her studies and other real-life comittments! Thanks for all your hard work, Adz!

Drusilla Black has been promoted to President from VP. I'm confident that she'll do a wonderful job in her new position.

EDIT by DracosDuchess: And now Drusilla has informed us that she would rather keep her Vice tag and remain VP! Which is totally fine, whatever she wants and makes her happy! She's still awesome!

[DracosDuchess]

Okay, by now, I'm sure many of you have heard that the SSFC, along with the SBFC are going to be hosting the First Day (December 1-2) of the 12 Days of Potter!!! Go to this thread if you do not know what I'm talking about!

Everyone seems to be generating some wonderful ideas and right now, we're just chatting about it in the chat thread, but I have made a new thread so we can discuss what we want to do in there instead of using the chat thread! So put on your thinking caps and lets make the holidays for SS members totally awesome!!

[DracosDuchess]

Just to let everyone know, the "Snape By the Sentence" game has been reopened and we're just going to continue it like we were! Everyone have fun!!!

[DracosDuchess]

The 12 Days of Potter even is fast approaching everyone! Here is what Touz has approved for our club:

Originally Posted by DracosDuchess

Okay, on behalf of the Severus Snape fan club, we will have a thread where members can request either a ficlet or an avatar/graphic (this way, members who can't make graphics can still participate!). Since Snape is the potions master, we thought it would be fun to make the ficlets and avatars with an "Essence of [member's screen name/real name here]" theme. Then we could put ingredients and simple instructions on how to "make" that member. For example:

Essence of Caitlin:

1 part silliness
2 parts cuteness
2 strands of Draco's hair

Simmer over hot flame and then cool it on ice!

Obviously, the graphics would look better than that (that's not even a graphic; I can't make them!) And the ficlet would include more than just that, but that's just an idea about what members could request to have the "Essence" potion include! Okay, it was really BAD example, but it was just off the top of my head! The ingredients don't have to be real magical ingredients. They can be whatever the person wants! All they have to do is request what they want it to look like and what they want it to include!

Now, we are on to Phase 2 of the event! Now we need as many people as possible that are able to get on during the days of our event (December 1 and 2) that are able to make graphics. Never fear for those who cannot make graphics! We need people to write ficlets, too! I am creating a list in this post to show who is going to do what (graphics or ficlets). If you would like to volunteer your time to help everyone celebrate the holidays with our dear Potions Master and double agent, please PM me and let me know whether you would like to do graphics, ficlets, or both! Oh, and here is the form that I have made for the requesters to fill out:

Name:
Ingredient 1:
Ingredient 2:
Ingredient 3:
One line of instructions:
Do you want a graphic or ficlet?:
If you want a graphic, do you want an avatar, signature, or set?:
Any special requests for the graphic/ficlet:

Thank you all so very much for being awesome Snape fangirls!!!

[Zellanna]

How do you think the graphics should look? Like Snape at the cauldron and the ingredients above it? I've been a little curious on how to do the potions.

[evlpez]

Could be any picture of Snape, I think. He IS the Potions Master, after all. I think we should be thinking in broad pictures here, or all the graphics will be using the same poses and such.

I hope everyone's got a nice store of Sev pics to use as bases! If not, let's start finding and saving these, folks! YAY! I'm excited!

[DracosDuchess]

Okay, everyone, I've made the thread for the SSFC 12 Days of Potter event! The link is here!

[SlytherinSissa]

Duch, I don't have access to see it. I think, perhaps, only the officers and mods can access it.

[SlytherinSissa]

I'm looking for some writers! Do you have any juicy news about our lovely Severus Snape? Do you have a question for Miss Tery, perhaps wanting to know a love potion that would woo the Snapester? Then you're just right. Instead of reiterating information all over again, just click the graphic in my signature and it'll take you to a thread that provides all of the information you're looking for. If you know anyone that would be willing to submit anything, point them to this as well. The more the merrier!

[evlpez]

We regret to announce that Caitlin (DracosDuchess) has resigned from her presidential chair. She's been an awesome club president and we're really sorry she's leaving this post, however we all understand that commitments to school and other real life responsibilites come first!

This does leave us with fewer club officers than we're comfortable with, so it's time to bring in some new blood! (Use that blood to fill the following out in triplicate, please. )

The SSFC Council is pleased to announce that squibby has accepted the Presidents' Chair for our club! Be sure to pat her on the back when you see her next.

Also, Maya and Taxus have been chosen for the Events and Graphics Offices, respectively. (Yes, Nabiya is still our Graphics officer as well, but now we have two!)

Welcome to the team, girls!

We are still accepting applications, too. It's not too late to apply now for an office.

Fanclub Fanfic

The month of July is just around the corner and we need a little help to kick off the celebration. It’s time to put on your Thinking Cap and gather your black rimmed Harry Potter glasses for a month of fun and writing. Being part of the Snitchseeker Fan Clubs, the Admins and Mods have come up with a bit of fun with spectacular roles for all Fan Club members to enjoy and take part in.

As you know, Deathly Hallows is the seventh and final novel from the Harry Potter series. What if you, the members, could write the final book the way you see it or the way you would like it to end? Well, the time has come to hear your side of the story as told by your favorite Fan Club character in ‘Fanclub Fanfic’.

What we need from the Fan Clubs right now is for you, as a team, to agree on a topic or storyline for your character. You may participate in more than one Fan Club, it is all up to you, just as long as you have fun. Start a thread within the characters forum or have a discussion in the thread and have everyone post their thoughts and contributions to the story, to see where the novel would start and end.

Hello Fanclubs! It is about time you guys got another event! Well with July being a big Potter month, there is not a better time. As a Fanclub, you will be able to create your own version of Deathly Hallows. However, it will not be any ordinary version, you will have to write it from your characters perspective. If you play a cast member, then you do the character they play, if your character is deceased you can bring them back or have it looking down on the situation as a passed on ghost or the likes. This is not a competition, but some fun for all Fanclubs. Here is some guidelines:

1. Each fanfiction should be at least 7 chapters long or more. Within these chapters you must tell a complete story and conclude the Harry Potter series.

2. You can help all of your Fanclubs! and even share ideas throughout all of the Fanclubs. However, we do want to see a variety of stories coming from you all.

3. Not all fanclubs have to participate, it is completely optional but can lead to rewards for your fanclub.

4. It is completely up to the fanclub to arrange and organise their fanfiction. Who writes what etc.

5. Your fanfiction can be of any genre and we would like to keep it as cannon as possible, however we would love a bit of crazy additions to the story.

6. All fanfiction and SS rules apply. Your fanclubs fanfiction will be of SS rating Sa9+

Good Luck!

Hi everyone,

We've been planning to dedicate a thread not to Severus Snape, but rather to the one man who portrays our beloved Potions Master so brilliantly. And to accomplish that to Mister Snape’s satisfaction, we require your help.

It’s supposed ot be a biography thread and it would be great of you could look for pictures – one from each movie / project Alan Rickman ever participated in. Mail (SSSnapeFC@gmail.com) or PM them to me including

~source,

~movie/ project,

~date (year)

and I’ll add them to the list below (in this post) so you can check back on which movies are already covered and which are still open.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Your SSFC

List (pics we already have):

1. Die Hard - Hans Gruber
2. The January Man - Ed, the Painter
