“Break out your best hats and robes, because a special event to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts has been announced by the Ministry of Magic. The noblest families of all are expected to attend, from the Malfoys to the Notts, and the soirée promises to be a night to remember.
However, what your humble correspondent knows is really on everyone’s minds is the mysterious wizard whose alleged death took place that same fated 2 May. Severus Snape was left for dead by the Dark Lord. Only following the tragedy did the Wizarding World come to learn of his true allegiance, but even after the dramatic and now mythical revelation, some things remain unsolved. Do not miss Rita Skeeter's most astonishing journalistic feat yet, as she reveals long-hidden truths and exposes lies, aided by a very exclusive source, and theorises on what might have really happened to Severus Snape.”
The Daily Prophet, 23 April 2023
How it works:
Art, writing, headcanons, meta – we’d love to share all of your creations with the rest of the fandom.
The prompts are:
Week 1 - The Muggle: Tobias and Eileen Snape; Childhood; Cokeworth; Friendship; Holiday
Week 2 - The Professor: Potions Master; Head of Slytherin House; Colleagues; Slytherin favouritism; Bullying
Week 5 - The Survivour: Ghost; Freedom; Retirement; New Identity; Hero or Hunted
Don’t worry about tackling the themes in order, or about being late. In fact, if you have older winter-related works you’d like to show the Snapedom again, go ahead and send them in!
Either submit the post to our blog, or tag your own post using #snapecelebration.
This is a five-day April Fool’s themed event created for the Snapedom.
The five days are March 28, 29, 30, 31, and April 1st, which is April Fool’s Day.
Background:
April Fool’s Day is a tradition that has been active since the 1700s at least if not before (some sources say that it’s been active since 1582 in France, where they call it ‘Poisson D’Avril’, or ‘April Fish’). The event typically starts on the day(s) before April 1st and includes April 1st itself. The tradition consists of each person having to do a practical joke or a prank on someone else, or saying some wildly untrue statement (or a lie) and then revealing that it was a joke by saying “April Fools!” or the equivalent in other countries.
✨ Rules and Prompts below the cut! ✨
💜 Rules 💜
Each day of the event has two prompts, and you can do one or the other, or both. You can do this event weeks or months later, you don’t have to be on time! Just tag the event tags or the blog url to get reblogged!
Some prompts may have explanations underneath them in the highlight in case some people need clarifications.
NOTE: Snapril Fool’s Day has four prompts, not two. Just to spice things up!
MANDATORY: Your responses to the prompts must include Severus Snape. Ideally they’d mention or show Snape at least once. In a perfect situation, they’d feature your favorite Snape ship or your least favorite Snape ship or a crack ship or a rare pair. But generally speaking you get a pass as long as it’s Snape related!
💛 Prompts 💛
March 28:
I. CHARACTER: Choose a character — what sort of prank would they play on their friends or romantic interest on April Fool’s Day? Who would fall for the prank and who wouldn’t?
II. CLEVERNESS: Prank your followers by making a long post / artwork / fic that is Snape related but highly unusual for you. Say whatever you want to say in order to convince your followers — it has to be outrageous but still slightly believable — the goal is to trick people into believing you. (For example make a post about your NOTP saying that you love it, or your OTP saying that you can’t stand it, come up with a new Snape pairing saying that it’s the best, make a crack ship post saying you love them forever, etc.) In the absolute last tag under the post put #snaprilfools — and then see which of your followers fall for the joke and who doesn’t!
March 29:
I. Acting the fool / being foolish
II. Gullible / Naive
March 30:
I. Medieval AU. Go back in time to the Medieval Wizarding World. What is it like? Who – and where – is Snape?
(ideas: a king’s court, knights in shining armor, ladies of the court, jousting matches, court jesters, tournaments, a ball, feasts)
II. Jester’s Privilege. What can Snape get away with (humor, jokes, pranks, lies) when he’s interacting with Dumbledore or Voldemort that no one else can get away with?
Jester/Court Jester: a professional joker or ‘fool’ at a medieval court, typically wearing a cap/hat with bells on it and carrying a mock sceptre.
Jester's privilege is the ability and right of a jester to talk and mock freely without being punished by the king or anyone else.
March 31:
I. PRANK. Joke shop / Weasleys’ Wizarding Wheezes
II. EXCURSION. Hogsmeade Outing
April 1 / Snapril Fool’s Day:
I. ONE. April Fool’s Day at Hogwarts
II. TWO. April Fool’s Day in the Wizarding World
III. THREE. April Fool’s Day with the Order of the Phoenix

Hiii I know @deepperplexity also came up with a snapemas prompt list but they gave me and my pals the go-ahead to post our christmas list! (you should totally check theirs out if you haven’t seen it yet!!)
Feel free to use this prompt list for your own personal headcanons, metas, drawing and writing severus snape purposes <3
I left some suggestions in the parentheses in case you need ideas but feel free to do whatever you wish for each prompt as long as snape is involved <3
use the tag #snolidays2020 on your posts to participate!
Thank you for the help creating this list: @violet-knox, @littl-prince, @kraehell, @sxvxrxssnape
There is no deadline or any date set in stone about doing any of these, you can combine prompts as you wish or do them in any particular order! You can skip prompts too. All you need to do is say the prompt(s) and use the hashtag #snolidays2020 on your post (which could be meta, drawing, writing, or headcanons)! Thank you so much to everyone who expressed interest in participating! I’ll reblog this version so that everyone can see it.
just so we’re clear, you are allowed to:
combine prompts
do them in any order
do them after the prompt day
do them before the prompt day
do them weeks later
post a bunch of them at once
make it with more characters than just snape (as long as its pro snape and it is centered around snape)
make it a ship, any ship as long as it’s tagged
make it severitus
make your post in the form of (but not limited to): writing, drawing, meta, or headcanons
make it a reader-insert, oc, or self-insert
and if you don’t want to participate, that’s fine too! i understand there is also snapemas going on and deepperplexity made some WONDERFUL prompts for it!
if you would like to use any of these prompts, feel free to do so with the hashtag + day of prompt!
since tumblr eats tags sometimes, you could @snolidays on your posts if you wish!
and feel free to expand on the prompts in any way you please!
We realise that it starts tomorrow and we haven't made much effort to promote it this year - 2017 has been a busy, busy year full of wonderful pro snape events!
If you can't participate, no problem :D Happy Snape Week comes 2x a year and we accept old and new fanwork ♡ please try anyway, it's not often we get to have purely happy severus c:
The holiday season is upon us and we’re inviting everyone to partake in the Snolidays 2023 Fest!
A perfect chance to revel in headcanons, have Severus demonstrate your favourite traditions, and share the holiday spirit with all of us! Winter holidays of all religions and nations are welcome and encouraged!
How it works:
Art, writing, headcanons, meta – we’d love to share all of your creations with the rest of the fandom.
In order to help spark the inspiration, we’ve chosen a theme for each of the four weeks leading up to Christmas: ‘Frost’, ‘Lights, ‘Preparations’, and ‘Festivities’.
We’ve also included 7 prompts for each week. You can combine several of them in one piece, skip the ones that don’t inspire you, or even create multiple works for a single prompt!
Don’t worry about tackling the themes in order, or about being late. In fact, if you have older winter-related works you’d like to show the Snapedom again, go ahead and send them in!
Either submit the post to our blog, or tag your own post using #snolidays2023 and #snapecelebration.
Don’t be shy about sending us any questions or requests you might have regarding the event.
