Snupin Rec fly-by...

[westernredcedar]

Hi all!

Just dropping a quick rec from snupin_santa. This fic is so fabulous and I don't want you to miss it!

Untitled, Wrapped in Boxer Shorts
I'm 95% sure I know who wrote this, because the structure of the language and the sense of humor are so unique. Regardless of who wrote it, however, this is just a charming, hysterical, and sweet story. The author relishes using the cliches of the "Stranded on a Desert Island" genre, while at the the same time mocking them and subverting them through Snape's biting narrative voice. The plot is simple- Snape and a large dog (*ahem*) are shipwrecked on a magic-suppressing desert island during wartime, and they have to survive. It's the kind of story that makes me fall in love with language again. You will laugh yourself silly at Snape's brush with lonely madness and Lupin's partial transformation, and the love story is sweet and satisfying.

I keep trying to pull a quote and there are too many good ones, so just go read it!

*hugs*

I'll have to read this!

I just stopped by to get a link to one of your fics I mem-ed to read someday. (Had a bad link for it) Do you mind if I friend you while I'm here? I love your fics and I'm a slut for recs--yours are always so valuable. (Gods, now I'm sheepishly wondering if I took the time to give you feedback on the fics I have read. If you don't recognize me then I deserve to be ashamed!)

Hi! Sorry I'm so slow on comment repies- RL is craziness!
Of course I recognize you, and please friend away. :) I actually would have guessed we were friends already, so bad me! I'm so pleased my recs are used sometimes- that inspires me to get going with writing some again. Thanks!

RL is crazy for me too right now. It's creating a very stiff undertow but Yay! for friending, and recs, and your fics while I surface in fandom for a mo!

*gasps and goes back under*
