Random question - HP/SS related

[runespoor]

Okay, so it probably doesn't show much, but HP/SS is one of my OTPs (yes, I'm one of these multiple-OTP kind of person. Not only am I picky and intolerant, I am also obsessive-compulsive. Or something.) and I've read, huh, many, many, many fics about that ship. (Not enough, alas, but there are only so many hours in a day.)

So here's my question: where are the HP/SS fics from Snape's PoV? Does that even exist? If it does, can anyone send me a link?

That's almost like why-are-there-so-little-Snape-going-after-Harry-fics. (But I've experimented some first hand, so I know that exist.)

I wonder if it has anything to do with us, HP/SS writers. (I'm counting myself in because I say so. Dinosaur privilege and all that. The fics never got finished, I am well aware of that.) Could it be because we can identify more with Harry when he's lusting-after/looking-up-to/call-it-what-you-want Snape than the reverse? I imagine the question I'm more or less dancing around is: aren't we more attracted by Snape than we are by Harry? And yet it's not true. Every good fic provides good reasons for Snape's feelings for Harry. That's why they're good. (That may also be that I'm an easily contented reader and I like my happy ending just as much as your next fangirl after my angst, but I won't begin second-guessing myself.)

Just lookin' if anyone knows where I could read such fics.

I mostly get interested in psychology and emotions when I write, and those can be explored in different ways through the point of view of either character in a pairing.

I agree with that, which is mostly why I find rather odd that the statistics are so disproportionately in favour of Harry's PoV.

I find writing Harry pov more difficult, in some ways, because I have to keep the language simpler. Snape, otoh, often gets really wordy, and it can be very difficult to stop all that internal verbal diarrhoea that he likes to indulge in.

Oh, WORD. That's something I've noticed in many Harry-goes-dark (or fark grey, at any rate) fics: his vocabulary extends. In fact, in the only HP/SS fic I went halfway through, I did exactly the same thing.

Er, I suppose it's just all about Snape for me.

If that makes us get more fics from you, you won't hear me complaint. ;)
