I am all over the Harry/Snape. Would love to see a good Snarry ship manifesto; I gather the last one was removed because it got too much weird flak and drama. I'd be happy to help, either direct writing or with links to the classic stories.

(I don't disagree with any of the other ships you listed, but I have nothing specific to say about them, either.)

[bloodconfetti]

Sorry for my communication failure - was the other one actually removed? That's so sad if it was... :/ (And if you just mean, why would we need a new one? Different views, and such!)

I have the entirety of book one highlighted for Harry/Severus moments, but I actually don't have access to my books anymore because of a bug problem :/ I think my main area of help would be the general opinions, and recs. So if you're uncomfortable with being the main book canon gatherer (I can help with quoting and picspamming movies 1-5) and would like to focus more on the recs and opinions, and possibly picspamming/quoting movies 6-7, then we can wait to see if there's a third person who'd like to do the book hunting.

Whatever your decision, we can get started anyway. If I'm responsible for the first five movies, I'll probably be making a private post at my journal to organize those, and then I can add you to a special access group so that you can see, and you can do the same for what you'll be handling. Essentially, we'll be making two separate manifestos, and then fitting them together like puzzle pieces.

Unless you have a better idea, of course.

I don't think this will be one of the quicker manifestos, though, so I'm not going to give us a 'deadline' or anything. I will try to start soon though!


(That's okay, it's just a list that people can pick and choose from.)

There was an old ship manifesto comm at LJ, maybe with the same name but maybe not--the Snape/Harry manifesto there was removed before 2006, and maybe before 2004. So oooooollld drama. (It was considered edgy to have slash ships. Some of them got flak for that detail alone.)

Since then, although there were plenty of Snape/Harry fans, they mostly stayed away from multiship areas; the Harry/Draco fans often gave us grief, and the het HP shippers got really unpleasant at us, and, well, most of Snarry fandom decided that we knew what the appeal was and anyone who didn't, probably wasn't interested in listening to our reasons.

I would be fine with helping with book canon notes. ("There's no need to call me 'sir', Professor.") I'm less connected to the movies. I have digital copies of the books so it's easy to search for details.

I watched the first snarry_games and participated in two others. Happy to start sorting out things soon, and I'm in no hurry.

[bloodconfetti]

Yeah, I saw one. Didn't know it had been removed :/ Stupid prejudices... Oh well, it's a different time now, and we can take it!

That is the one thing about Severus/Harry though... That's the only way I've been able to put it thus far: If you understand it, you just do, and if you don't, you don't. Which doesn't help much. But it's for fun, for the fans, and maybe, just maybe it'll catch someone's curiosity.

Oh good, for digital copies! Lovely.

Best modes of contact: In order: Reply here, email (elfwreck at gmail dotcom), PM. (The only reason PM is not as recommended is the lack of formatting and other options; a conversation there can't morph into file exchange and rough drafts. It works just fine for initial contact.)
Timezone: PST (or PDT right now) - I'm in California. I spend the majority of my waking hours on a computer, although I don't always have full online access at work.

[DCU Comics - Batverse]
Ships:

1. Bruce Wayne/Tim Drake
2. Jason Todd/Roy Harper

(Many, many others... I 'ship the entire batverse with itself; Those two are the ones I'd most like to see manifestos for right now, and therefore work on, but I'd be happy to collaborate on several of them.)
[Marvel]
Ships:

1. Nick Fury/Phil Coulson (Not that there's any fandom for this pairing. But there should be, so there should be a manifesto about why and how.)
2. Nick Fury/Tony Stark (Ditto.)

I'm only now discovering this, but I'd definitely be interested in an MCU Nick/Tony manifesto :D It's not a ship I've ever seen lots of fic or art for but it's one that tugs at my guts pretty hard.
