Reveals and rewrites

[stgulik]

I know I'm late mentioning this, but severus_fest is over and has posted its reveals. If you haven't checked out this amazing compilation of Snape-based fiction and art, you owe it to yourself. Many of them are not ship-based; some are nice gen pieces about Severus and the mischievious Hogwarts faculty, or Severus matching wits (and failing) with his own mother. An excellent variety of stories this year, all told.

My own contribution to the fest was a fiction called "WIB." Last fall, I chose a prompt that really spoke to me for its comedy potential: Lucius and Severus in the roles of Agents K and J in the movie "Men in Black." Here's the picture that inspired the prompt. Usually, I am leery of crossover stories, but I hope you can see why I had to have it!

So then, I wrote it over the course of the fall and into the Christmas season. Unfortunately, every Christmas, I turn into a raging madwoman. (I really have major issues with Christmas.) Due to a looming deadling and scorching Christmas madness, I really had to rush the ending. Consequently, I feel I did not give the last chapter its proper due.

But the happy nature of fanfic is, now I get to go back and make any changes I want, and flesh out the ending to make it more satisfying and comic-book-heroic. So I have been revising furiously and posting the updated chapters on fanfiction.net and archiveofourown lately. The rest of the story will go up during the course of the week. I hope you check it out.
