Well now that the masterlist is up, I can reveal that yes, indeed, I did write "Not Quite What the Doctor Ordered" for ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) cordeliadelayne. I must say, I was very surprised at how many people guessed it was me! snegurochka_lee nailed me almost immediately, as did ellid. I guess my style is more recognizable than I thought! :D
Anyway, for those who haven't read and want to:
TItle: Not Quite What the Doctor Ordered
Pairing: Severus/Remus
Rating: R
Length: 33216
Summary: Severus Snape is a brilliant diagnostician, but Remus Lupin is a difficult case, in more ways than one
Notes: Now I can thank scribbulus_ink out loud - OMG, if it hadn't been for McKay holding my hand and patting my head, I might not have finished the fic. I LOVE the premise, but with RL issues and work stress, added to the fact that I canNOT write a short story any more, it was definitely a challenge! Thanks, McKay - as always you are my strength!!!
I loved the thought of writing "Snape as House" per Cordelia's prompt. The most difficult part was researching the "disease" and trying to come up with something plausible. I'm a bit anal that way, because of too many years of screaming about Star Trek technobabble saving the day. I will NOT claim that my research is bullet proof, but McKay can attest to the many hours of research I did in trying to find a disease to fit the "symptoms"! :D
Another thing I ended up enjoying very much in the story was the Regulus/Kingsley bits. I never thought of it before, really, but it just WORKED. And my Regulus is 100% based on McKay's boy from ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) snark_n_bark. He is the ultimate Regulus to me, and so another kudo to McKay for inspiration!!!!
And a final word on that - McKay has done such an amazing, fantastic, incredible job on Snusa since the beginning, I think we all owe her an immense debt of gratitude for the hard work and frustration involved in running such an enormous fest. To me, McKay IS Snupin, and has been for years. Not just her writing, but the spirit she brings to things as well. Thanks, McKay! There is no one else like you in the world, and I treasure you dearly! :D |

I have to say I was really impressed with the medical terminology - it all sounded believable to me! I'm touched you took so much time over it. I was pretty sure it had been you from the beginning, there's just something so warm about the way you write our boys that I love.
And I know I squeed in my comment before but you seriously could not have picked a better secondary pairing. Definitely a keeper :D | |
