Congratulations (again) from a Spanish fan of yours! (and of Snape, of course :D)

P.D.:And.. sorry if i made a lot of mistakes, my English isn’t perfect… yet =3
hehe :P
bye!!

Great podcast, by the way.

I just wanted to comment on whether Snape left the Advanced Potions book for Harry on purpose: they made a point in the book to state that even though Snape wasn’t teaching down in the dungeons anymore, he still kept his office down there. So he may have not bothered to move the book also if his office is connected to the Potions classroom.

I hope that he doesn’t die, but if he does then this is the last month that he is still “alive” to the readers. I also think Snape loved Lily because if he didn’t then I think Rowling would have shot the theory down by now. Like you said though, Harry’s perception of things gives him many reasons to hate Snape, especially since the only Pensieve memory he has seen of his mother is of Snape calling her a mudblood.

Hayseed’s “Getting the Hang of Thursdays” (http://ashwinder.sycophanthex.com/viewstory.php?sid=6501) is also a haunting fic that captures the more… intense (in a non smutty way!) side of SS/HG that I love.

Resmiranda’s “Like Shadows on the Winter Sky” (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/743832/1/) is an obscure, old fic that not many probably know but I would extremely recommend it as a pleasureable read. Resmiranda… gods, she makes a blind, insane Snape feel REAL.

Another favorite is Michmak’s “Heart With No Companion” (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2056132/1/). It made me cry!

If nothing else, you guys should look into Riley’s “Pawn to Queen.” (http://www.witchfics.org/riley/ptq/) Don’t shoot me if I’m wrong but I think this is one of the fics that really brought the SS/HG ship out of obscurity all those years ago.

And to wrap up this long list (I can’t help myself!) I would like to recommend KaylaAyleen’s “Ways to Infuriate a Potions Master” (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2507561/1/). It had my laughing the entire way through.

I’ve noticed through the years a gradual transformation of SS/HG. If you read Pawn to Queen you notice a more… intense, serious style of writing that has been fading as the ship has grown more mainstream and… fluffier. WikTT’s Marriage Law Challenge really changed the ship. In my opinion, to get to the core of the ship and find out why it’s so popular you have to read the old stuff.

I loved the Phoenix Rising Medley, it was an interesting interview with Alex Carpender (yet we would all say: TEAM SNAPE!!) and I loved Severus’ owlpost.

Another great episode! And I am sooooooo looking forward SS/HG episode in July! Yay!

*hugs you all*

I’m sure there are other artists out there, but usagistu is the best I’ve found so far.

Those are some really good fanfiction in my opinion, I hope they help.

I have been an avid listener since… January and I’ve got to say that I’m in love with Snapecast. Oddly, what first drew me to it (besides by undying love of Snape) was the music. xD

Anyway, being a Snape/Hermione shipper I’ve been looking forward to that Love Potion for quite a while! *hint hint* My hopes for Episode 17 were cruelly dashed against the rocks! *glares* xD

P.S. May be I’ve missed it but there doesn’t seem to be a Snape/Lily fanfic theme yet. I didn’t buy it before HBP (too cliche) but now I’m convinced that this is the route JKR is taking. May be something to squeeze in before DH?

SNAPE HITS MTV????? Wow….

Where is the Snape/Herimione segment you’ve promised?

Anyway, I’m off to download :)

*hugs you all*
