I solemnly swear that I answered all the questions on this quiz with complete honesty, or at least picked the answers I honestly thought were closest to the truth of the matter:


What kind of Snapeist are you?

You are an Orthodox Snapeist.
You take Canon!Snape at face value -- like JKR says, Snape is "a deeply horrible person". You like to write/read stories where he's portrayed as supercilious, unfair, often undignified, and sometimes downright cruel. You may accept some partial explanations for his behavior when they're offered in canon, but you're still pretty hard on him, and don't like to let him off the hook. The guy's a nasty, unwashed git -- it says so in the books!
Take this quiz!

Also, while I wouldn't be surprised if
pauraque came up with the notion of sorting Snapeists into denominations on the Jewish model independently, I did propose this very idea on the Snapefans Yahoo!Group back on July 1, 2001. (Boy, am I old.)

Ah well, it was fun when I started it. ;)

Date: 2006-03-18 12:56 am (UTC)Not likely. We're talking about the woman who as good as said in an interview several years ago that Snape's redemption would be an important theme in Book 7. Not to mention admitting in another interview around the same time that Eustace Scrubb was one of her favorite Narnia characters because he was a very unlikeable person who turned good. Sound like anyone we know?
She has obviously realized since that she needs to be cagier about these things, and hasn't mentioned it again lately -- but unless she has decided to completely change her original plans for Book 7, it seems that Snape's redemption (whatever form that redemption may actually take) is a sure thing.

Date: 2006-03-24 01:34 am (UTC)Well, Lymond is one example, but Dunnett does it with other characters of hers as well -- Johnson Johnson and Thorfinn are also examples of the phenomenon. All are observed from outside, and their actions at times seem capricious and bizarre at best, at worst heartless and self-serving. But all it takes is a few crucial pieces of information and the whole thing flips over, leaving the narrator and the reader both painfully struck by how they have misjudged the situation and the hero.
I think I read a few chapters of FFI, but isn't it stuck permanently in WiP mode? It's been around for years now, and it somehow seems pointless to go on reading something that shows no promise of ever having an ending... still, maybe there have been more chapters written lately, I don't know.
Re "Secrets and Lies", thanks for your interest, but I'm afraid that's all she wrote! It's a one-shot, not the first chapter of a continuing story. Which is not to say there might not be another post-HBP Snape/Maud story eventually, but I don't have any ideas for one at present...
