FAQ
Who is Severus Snape?
Have you been dwelling in a cave?
Snape is the pre-eminent potions master and potions instructor
at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the fantasy
world of Harry Potter, as created by the illustrious author JK
Rowling.

What is Harry Potter?
You're not from this Universe,
are you? Please visit the Linkage
page.

Why did you create this site?
Please see the Rationale
page.

What qualifies you to decide whether
or not Snape meets the criteria for placement on this site?
Nothing more than you, I suspect.
I am simply a huge fan of Snape (one of many) and enjoy reading
fan fic when I have time. I tend to view the Harry Potter universe
as realistically as possible (as dichotomous as that sounds)
and am pleasantly surprised when I find a fic exemplifying the
canon material in a creative worthwhile fashion. While most individuals
do not give a toss about preserving the presented Harry Potter
universe, there are several aficionados who appreciate a well-crafted
Snape tale. This site is for them.

What is canon?
The original work -- JK Rowling's
novels.

What is slash?
Same sex sexual pairing.

Why is my story not listed?
It hasn't found its way to my
attention or doesn't meet the criteria. Write and ask me, if
you wish.

Why are there so few stories and
most of them rated R and higher?
This site is in its infancy. I
am still scrambling to find those I've read, enjoyed and neglected
to bookmark. Please tell me about stories that should be listed
here or become a reader for this site. Most are rated R and NC-17
because that is my preference but I'd love to find and list those
of tamer ratings.

My "in progress" story
was once listed -- why was it pulled?
You likely wrote something contravening
the qualifications for listing on this site.

Can I help you read stories for
this site?
Possibly. Send me an e-mail and
introduce yourself.

I told you about a story weeks
ago -- why is it not listed here yet or why haven't I heard from
you?
I likely haven't had time. I work
considerable hours, write and have a husband. I work on updating
this site whenever time permits. Feel free to help out (see above
question).

How do you rate the stories?
I rate based on the following:
Storyline.
Writing style.
Spelling.
Grammar.
Each item is worth 5 points for a total of 20.
If a story does not have a rating, it means I have not finished
reading it yet. If you are interested in becoming a reader for
this site, please let me know. What I may consider is a good
storyline or writing style may be different from others -- so
do bear this in mind.

Will you link to my site?
Possibly. Send me the link.
This site will link only to specific quality or
informative sites -- not personal pages.

Can I link to your site?
I'd love you to. Thank you kindly.

Can we be friends?
My time is such that I cannot
engage in regular correspondence. However, if you wish to assist
with this site, or have some comments or suggestions, I'd love
to hear from you.

Who are you?
My name is Xandria, and I'm a
thirty something who is often described as: acerbic, funny, logical,
suspicious, snobbish and jaded (among others). I make no apologies
for my disposition.
