They're doing an Icon-Meme!

[therealsnape]

minervas_eule came up with another great way to avoid tackling the minerva_fest story: an icon meme. This is how it works, and below the cut you find her selection.

- Reply to this post with the word ICONS! and I will pick six of your icons
- Make a post (including this info) and talk about the icons I chose
- Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts
- This will create a never ending cycle of icon glee.


I found "Lost in a book" first among kellychambliss's icons, with a different text. Fell in love with it at once, but I wanted my own text; icons really are rather personal things. So this is what I came up with.


The reason behind "Snape Paris" is a simple one. Found this picture when googling on Snape images; I've read French at uni, and Paris is my favourite city.


He's clearly enjoying himself so much - and as a teacher, I can sometimes relate to this. My first text choice was the famous last line from Tale of Two Cities: This is a far, far better thing I do than I have ever done before.
There's no way that fits an icon, so I chose "Life can be sweet" instead.


"Suspect anything" was made for me by the fabulous queen_of_snapes, who introduced me to picnik.com. She has a lot to answer for.


"Minerva hat and brooch" is a damemaggiedaily pic. diana_hawthorne, generous as always, allowed me to use it. Just love the pic.


"McSnape" combines it all: Minerva/Hooch, and Minerva/Snape snarky, gossipy friendship. It's one of tattooedsappho's, who also made my all-time favourite Hooch: "Save a broom. Ride a teacher." Whenever I see it pop up in her comments, I smile.
