Snapecast - an appeal to Honour our Snape

[sigune]

I would like to launch an appeal to you:



In their latest episode, the staff at snapecast has asked their listeners to compose epitaphs for Snape. I am really not good at this sort of thing, but I know that many of you are, and therefore I would ask you to please, please contribute a short crazy poem or a snarky line or two.

Send your epitaphs to severus (at) snapecast (dot) com; or if you like to send a soundbite, you can phone Snapecast through Skype; their username is (surprise!) "snapecast". The deadline is 11 August.


For myself, I clearly haven't recovered yet from the blow that was Deathly Hallows, and all I could come up with was a bitter


Here lies Snape.
By life a complex character, he died a stereotype.
May his fate remind you of the harm a Mary Sue can do.


I know I'm not exactly doing Snape a favour here, so I was hoping that one of you might.

I think that you should send exactly that epitaph.

If I can come up with something, I'll send it, but living people don't need an epitaph, do they?

Want to crosspost/link it on snapedom?

snapedom! Yes, good thinking - I still have to get used to the fact that it's there ;D. Incidentally, can I post questions too? I'd love to hear people's opinions on the wacky sequence of the Werewolf Incident and the Worst Memory.

living people don't need an epitaph, do they?
That's true, but sometimes they do get one, when they are believed dead and no body is recovered... It's just a good opportunity to sum Snape up, regardless of whether you (want to) believe he's dead, right? :-) And, well, I used it to be venomous about DH of course. I did send it, by the way. It's what I feel; I just hope it doesn't upset the Snapecasters, because that's not what I mean. I listened to their latest episode last night, and it was very good - balanced too.

As long as it's Snape related, you can post anything, except for fiction and art, there are other comms for that. Everyone can recommend their own and their friends' work every Friday.

I was just joking with the dead people thing. Canon is canon, and for many people he's dead. For me, he lives on in my own and other writers' head a lot more than in JKR's head, we love him more, too, and thus I have no problem with going AU.
