Alternate Universe to Half-blood Prince. Lupin and Snape in their early childhood and later school years, as seen through the eyes of a Ravenclaw student (OFC) as she develops a fascination for our favorite Slytherin. Rated S for some oblique reference to war and Death Eater violence. Seven chapters, complete. Sycophant Hex `S' rating is generally equivalent to the formerly known as `PG' rating. Lost Souls Found http://occlumency.sycophanthex.com/viewstory.php?sid=3381 Severus Snape/OFC, Romance/drama, hurt/comfort. Voldemort is out in the open. Severus Snape is actively involved in Death Eater activities because of his role as spy for the Order of the Phoenix. A researcher from the Ministry for Magic offers to aid and assist Dumbledore and is reacquainted with our Potions master, whom she knew slightly from school. Rated L for romantic/sexual content in later chapters as well as some graphic/mature dealings with the horrors of a Magical War. Overall a romance, but war is gruesome. This story is 57 chapters and an epilogue. Sycophant Hex rating of `L' is generally equivalent to the rating formerly known as `NC- 17'. There is far too much plot for those who like PWP. It is complete, but is not posted in its entirety at Occlumency yet, as it is going through its final beta-revisions, edits and verifications. This has been a nearly two-year long WIP. If you have read and enjoyed the story at other archives, I encourage you to consider re-reading it here. It has been thoroughly Brit-picked, grammar-mechanics polished, and I have repaired minor consistency errors, as well as more effectively explained and filled `plot holes'. Because of the length of the story, it might be a more manageable `read' to handle in smaller doses, and my edit/polish/verification rate for my chapters seems to be about two to three chapters a week. The story is complete, the edit/beta process is on-going, and I have three very thorough and speedy betas? any remaining errors are mine. You do not need to fear that this story will be `abandoned' before being posted to its completion. I adore reviews of all sorts, including criticisms so don't be shy!

Date: Mon, 05 Sep 2005 07:49:29 -0000 Subject: Deathday Festival Message-ID: We at Sycophant Hex wish to invite all authors and artists to participate in the Deathday Festival. With the influx of new canon information after the release of the long-awaited Half Blood Prince, there has never been a better time for new ideas and fresh insight. All archives will be included in the Festival. We have tried our very best to come up with options that are not as restrictive as those found in a normal challenge formula, while still encouraging the vast number of different styles found in the Harry Potter fandom. As with our last Festival, we will have some great prizes. A new addition to this Festival is a category solely for artists to try their hand at creating some great art. We want to see what your interpretations are, each and every one of you. We are amazed at the amount of wonderful works that come out of this fandom every day, and we hope that this Festival will be as invigorating as our last.

You can find it at http://harrypotterwiki.org/ - feel free to look around, and start adding new entries, and editing the ones we already have. Unlike other wikis, this one is created to include canon information, as well as links to threads discussing the character, and fanart and fanfiction featuring the character, without actually incorporating fic and art onto the pages. We do this to provide an expansive resource about the books, the movies and the information that JKR has shared with the world, as well as the interpritations of that world that fans have created over the past six-plus years. You can see the entry for Harry Potter at http://harrypotterwiki.org/wiki/Harry_Potter as an example of the ideal comprehensiveness of the information and links. So come and WIKI with me!

(themagicwandshop) Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2005 14:17:54 -0000 Subject: New Harry Potter site - slightly different! Message-ID: Hi there. I've put together a new Harry Potter reference site, although I hope this is quite a different idea to the norm. The site is called Broomsticks, Brollies & Wizards - the Roots of Harry Potter. It concerns itself with the magical culture and heritage of the UK that led to the birth of HP. Therefore I have referenced literary influences from the obvious (LOTR, Worst Witch et al) to the more obscure (Tom's Midnight Garden etc.), influences from legend & folkore (Merlin, Vampires, Werewolves etc. etc.), and also famous UK magicians and wizards from D.D. Home to Paul Daniels! I've also included small pieces on British slang, sport, weather etc. However this is a continual work in progress and I would be more than happy to receive suggestions, ideas, etc. for new articles and pieces. Anyway, drop by and see what you think.

If you are a person who likes to have a firmer image of the characters in your mind as you read, I encourage you to have a look. Anyone may view my Journal, though only registered users may post in it to prevent unwanted `trolls'. Some of the images are fanart links where I credit the artist thoroughly and completely, while the OC images are `model' head-shots from various random internet sites. http://www.livejournal.com/users/weasleyfan/17180.html Severus Snape/OFC, Romance/drama, hurt/comfort.
