Hi everyone!

Because so many people are in transit this weekend and we're still putting together our posting schedule, we're going to delay posting until the evening of Dec 1. Sorry for any inconveniences! We can't wait to get things started, and hope you all enjoy the fest!

Best,
Snarry Holidays mods

Happy birthday, Alfonso Cuarón!

So, today Trina wanted me to share with her some of my favourite music videos from when I was a kid. The first one I thought of was Too Funky by George Michael.

I played it for her and she asked me, then, why it was a favourite. I sat there awkwardly for a while, not quite able to explain it. My favourite was the model in the metal bikini suit thing. Embedding was disallowed. I still love this vid. After, I showed her Jeremy and Black Hole Sun. Then I showed her Schism, which she thought was cool, and Thunderkiss '65, which led to a very short viewing of Beavis and Butthead so she could understand the context in which I first saw the video.

Listening to Too Funky also makes me want to write porn again.



What are your favourite music vids?


Also, I snuck over to fanficrants today for one reason and another and was struck but the plethora of crap. I mean...most of my rants consist of "use the right word, plz" and "get a beta before I spork my eyes" and stuff like that. Though, I don't usually make posts about it. I just think it. REALLY HARD. I get rants about subtle bigotry/misogyny/etc within fics, but for other things, sometimes I just want to say stfu and read something else. I mean...isn't this what google chat is for? Bitching to your friends about stupid shit you've read but are too polite to comment on, and in that fashion, in public?

We are always happy to grant extensions, but if you need an extension, you need to ask us for an extension - your mods, contrary to popular belief, are not psychic, and do not know what you need unless you e-mail them.

snarryholiday@gmail.com for all assignment submissions and extension requests - and please include your user name (the one you used when you originally signed up, unless you've notified us of a user name change) so that we don't have to spend hours trying to figure out who snarryluver4ever@yahoo.com is.

Thanks for all the hard work you've put into making this a great fest - now all we have to do is get ready to enjoy all the wonderful Snarry! :)

Assume spoilers for anything below the cut...including spoilers for the Xmas special trailer.
