Claiming: July 6th - September 15th

It’s the first day of claiming for the Snarry AUctoberfest 2024! The current year’s prompts are listed on the claiming form page of our website. The form here will be updated as things are claimed. However, you are not limited to this year’s prompts! If they do not catch your fancy, check out the previous years’! We also offer a wild-card option for prompts.

We encourage participants to focus on Snarry and Alternate Universe possibilities (ie. a radically different time period or location, non-magic, outer space etc., or those influenced by other media). Fest works are permitted within the canon universe as long as there’s a major divergence from the canon world or storyline. 

Please consider the spirit of this fest: imagining the multitude of ways in which Severus and Harry fall in love across all different worlds, timelines and possibilities. 

To that end, we request no works be submitted where the only AU element would be considered as “EWE” or “Snape lives”, or other minor divergences Snarry fans would expect to see in Snarry fanworks. 

If you wish to participate, please fill out all the required information in the form. Once you submit your claim, just sit back and wait for confirmation via your preferred method of communication (Discord or email). (Don’t forget to check your spam folder if you choose email! Our emails often end up there initially!!! Please, please do check your spam folder!) 

You do not to have submitted a prompt to take part, nor do you need to be a member of our Discord community.

You have until the day submissions are due on September 15th to claim a prompt if you want to participate. This year marks the 5th AUctober fest! Let's make it a memorable one!  🧡The Claiming Form can be found here 🧡

If you wish for clarification on any part of the process please email the mods at houseofsnarry@gmail.com or send a DM to the HOS mod Discord account: House_of_Snarry. If you’re in the House of Snarry Discord server, you may also DM a mod.

Rules & Guidelines || Website || Dreamwidth || HoS Tumblr

"...the only psychologist from whom I have anything to learn." - Nietzsche

"Dostoevsky gives me more than any scientist, more than Gauss." - Albert Einstein

"So great is the worth of Dostoevsky that to have produced him is by itself sufficient justification for the existence of the Russian people in the world: and he will bear witness for his country-men at the last judgement of the nations." - Nikolay Berdyaev

"...a prophet of God," and "mystical seer." - Vladimir Solvyov

"He lived in literature." - Konstantin Mochulsky

"Russia's evil genius" - Maxim Gorky

"...the Shakespeare of the lunatic asylum" - Count Melchoir de Vogue

"...an author whose Christian sympathy is ordinarily devoted to human misery, sin, vice, the depths of lust and crime, rather than to nobility of body and soul" - Thomas Mann

"Dostoevsky was human in that 'all too human' sense of Nietzsche. He wrings our withers when he unrolls his scroll of life." -Henry Miller

"He who gets nearer the sun is leader, the aristocrat of aristocrats, or he who, like Dostoevsky, gets nearest the moon of our non-being." - D. H. Lawrence

"Dostoyevsky wrote of the unconscious as if it were conscious; that is in reality the reason why his characters seem 'pathological', while they are only visualized more clearly than any other figures in imaginative literature... He was in the rank in which we set Dante, Shakespeare and Goethe." - Edwin Muir
