Hello, Happy New Year, and welcome to the current issue of snapenews. Thank you all for your continuing support and useful links! Feel free to comment (either below or at snapenews@gmail.com) and let us know how we're doing!

COMMUNITIES

Say hello to a new Snape-centric community: snape_humor! You can find the community on LJ here. The maintainer, pretend_mulling, writes "I'm looking for a couple of additional mods and anyone who's good at making layouts and icons," so if you'd like to participate in a new comm, here's your chance!

Snarry Swap is now underway on snape_potter! (and please read the mod note here which basically says that if you want to see the fic and art with higher ratings, you need to join the community, not just watch it)

Snapedom has a Mod Post about the Birthday Bash being organized for Severus this year! "As before, fic, art, digital art, crafts, combinations, whatever you can think of, is welcome."

Here's the Week 5 Round-up for Snapely Holidays...and a Mod Note.
