Snape is getting a makeover. Why, you ask? Well, wouldn't you, if offered one by a Fairy God-Jarvey? Inspired by the SexGod!Snape Challenge. (The original Fairy God Jarvey story!)

Mostly Harmless! Though I have to admit, I'm even stranger than I appear. ;-) There's a pile of unbeta'd stuff on my LJ (dracfic) if you're interested in Raw, Untamed, fanfic.
Believe it or not, "How Argus Filch Got Wild, Got Laid, and Got His Magic" has been rec'ed by Know It Alls! It's true! They gave me this pretty lil' ribbon and everything! And in March 2007, they saw fit to likewise reccommend (as an antidote to angst) the story that started it all, 'Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey'--just in time for the first anniversary of that story's posting! *hugs Harm*
(I also have to admit that 'mostly harmless' may not be the most apt description of a member of the Mad Chatters...)
Finally, I just have to say... Storyville. If you were there, you know what I mean.Reviews for Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey
I thought I felt channeling going on with Zaphod Beeblebrox. I lurv the termites holding hands that kept the building up, have you seen my house? Louis XIV royal pimp was so side splitting. The best was When all hell breaks loose, run for it being the title of Snape's autobiography!

*bows* Thank you kindly for the praise! I'm glad to see that you had as much fun reading it as I did writing it. :)
Bwahahaha
That's the funniest thing I've ever read!
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
Thank you very kindly! Could I interest you in a sequel or two (also on this site?) I don't know if they're funnier, but they surely do try! (And, the best part is, they're absolutely free!)
Response from Raira (Reviewer)
I'm definitely going to work my way through them all! I've listed you in my favourite authors so I don't miss a thing! :D
A foul-mouthed fairy god-Jarvey?
You have quite the knack for storytelling, dracontia. Keep it up, and I'm looking forward to what the next chapter will bring!
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
*sigh* The first review I ever got on TPP!I guess that's why I've kept it so long on my 'unresponded to reviews' page. Like a good luck charm. Not sure why I'm answering it now, since I can always use all the good luck I can get... but somehow, it seems right, a little over a year after it all started, and a few weeks from what is, in effect, the end. It's been a heck of a ride!Thanks for hosting this house of cool--and for not siccing the bouncers on me.
Response from notsosaintly (Reviewer)
You are welcome. And thanks for posting your wonderful stories. They've kept me in stitches (the good kind).
Hilarious and interesting :) Thank you for the great reading piece!
Too damned funny!Loved it....
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
While it may be possible to be too rich and definitely possible to be too thin, one can never, ever, be too funny. Thanks for reviewing!
Too, too funny! Me estoy cagando de risa! (I'm pooping myself laughing!)
For the record, the literal translation of pendejo is pubic hair, although you've got the general definition right. Pendejos (the people, not the fur) are also considered to be rather useless as well as stupid and jerk-ish.
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
I must say, I've had reviews mentioning mirth-induced spitting on the keyboard/monitor, falling out of chairs, and a particularly memorable one involving an accident with tomato soup and a cracker, but this... this is one for the record books. *bows* Mil gracias! So glad you enjoyed this and took the time to review!
It's Halloween, everyone is with the dress up, and all I can think of is, "oh, if only I could dress up as a Fairy God Jarvey." I read this series a while ago and it's still very alive in my imaginaion. I think I could swing the outfit, but talking in person to people, I know I'd spell the swear words instead of saying them. Which would be like lacing up a corset to go to a bra burning party. Anyway, if I could, I'd be Regina today. *hugs*
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
This review really brighted up my Halloween night. In fact, it was my only bright spot that night, because my computer crashed catastrophically right after reading it!Fortunately, after nearly two months of cajoling, threatening, bodging, and the judicious application of holy water, computer is finally working again--so one Regina P. Fletcher, Master Fairy God-Jarvey and I can congratulate you on your lovely turn of phrase (the image of wearing a corset to a bra-burning party is as good a metaphor for the juxtaposition of Reggie on reality as anything I could ever devise.)Did I mention the beginning of the third installment in this series is in the queue as we speak? *whistles innocently*
This is fanfuckingTASTIC.
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
Reggie appreciates both the comment and the phrasing
I truely enjoyed the battle of snark between the jarvey and snape. My favorite kind of Snape is the witty, disgruntled kind.
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
Ah, well, you're in luck--that's the sort of Snape I write. More snarky battles are in the offing, as soon as I finish my Challenge response. Thank you for reviewing!
I loved it. The jarvey is completely hysterical, and being a native spanish speaker myself, I have great appreciation for the curse words. It's true. It is so much more satisfying to curse in a different language.
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
Thank you! I'm glad you had fun with it.
And, oh, Spanish curse words! There's something great about they way that they fly out of someone's mouth, sounding like one long, angry word. It always sounds more like you MEAN it, in Spanish! LOL
Response from litfreak81 (Reviewer)
I very much agree. It all sounds better in a different language. Lol. Have you written any other stories because I would very much like to read them. Also, do you beta? I need some help with that.Thanks! Litfreak81
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
*blushes* Thank you for your interest! The Petulant Poetess has all of my fan fiction, including all the sequels (so far) to Courtesy of your Fairy God-Jarvey. I have a couple more FGJ sequels in progress (as well as other random HP stories), and they will be posted here once they're complete.
In terms of beta reading--I'm not sure how much help I would be. While I can catch spelling mistakes and the occasional sentence flow problem reasonably well, I am not at all adept at punctuation (which is why I am so grateful to Tempest of Dreams, my current beta and to Larilee, my original beta!)
Have you tried the beta directory here at TPP, or asking at the Potter_Place Yahoo group? Any number of people who post there are decent betas!
Good luck!
Response from litfreak81 (Reviewer)
I will continue to read your stories, seeing as they add a little humor to my life. I just finished reading 'Let someone ELSE tell you about the birds and the bees' and thought that it was great almost as funny if not funnier than 'Courtesy of your fairy god, Jarvey.'Even if you are not one for puntcuation, I was wondering whether you could help me with the spelling and sentence flow, for which I am notorious. Lol. How can I get the transcript to you? Email works for me, if that is convenient. I'll also see if I can get ahold of Tempest and see if she will go ahead and beta a few of my works in progress.Thanks a lot!Litfreak81PS. Do you know anything about posting a challenge? I would very much like to do so, but since I am new to the forum, I don't have a firm grip on how things work. Thanks again.
She's foul mouthed, sassy, straight to the point, and just what Sev needs!
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
LOL! Best. Reggie. Description. Ever. ^_^
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
LOL! Best. Reggie. Description. Ever. ^_^
What a darling little gem of a story. I'm really quite impressed. Clever, endearing, and Jarveys! Really well done.
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
Thank you very much! Every fandom needs its comic relief (especially HP, with the dramatic themes of the series) and I do try to provide a fair share.And well, Jarveys... It's tough to go wrong with Reggie in your corner, right?
Hooray for the towel dispenser! And don't we all need a little more sparkle in our lives? Maybe it got... bedazzled? Yes. Bedazzled. Blinged-up. This has been a lovely tale, dear dracontia. Jolly good show.
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
Thank you! (Incidentally, that particular Towel Dispenser is a highlight of tours of the Ministry Banquet Facilities to this day...)
" pale and piqued" Ack! My dear, while you have stolen my heart clean away, you have also committed your first sin of word use! For one who is thin and waif like, use 'peaked.' To describe the rising of one's ire, or the cause of more intense interest, use 'piqued.' That's all.Also, I love your saviour-complex bearing towel dispenser. Fantastic in every way.
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
LOL One had to sneak in there eventually! When writing 20,000 words in three days, it's a wonder that more such clinkers didn't get past the normally eagle-eyes of the lovely Larilee, beta extraordinaire. Glad it didn't detract too much from your enjoyment of the tale!
Oh my god! I thought that you couldn't possibly have written another story as much fun to read as the Limerick challenge... but here you go, doing it again! I'm digging the Spanish (though you needn't give translations. If people don't know it, it's easy to look up). Your Snarky Snape makes my day, and the witty, implacable Jarvey in a tutu makes quite the supporting costar. Color me deeply impressed.
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
Hello again! It's always a pleasure to hear that someone had as much fun reading my Jarvey stories as I had writing them! Thank you kindly for taking the time to review.(The Spanish footnotes are my inner Hermione being thorough. )
Love the pompous sexy-fiend look, love the wram towel dispenser, and love the hilarity of the Jarvey.I thoroughly enjoyed this parody. :)
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
Thank you kindly! The Jarvey (and even the towel dispenser!) are feeling the love.
Oh Bollocks! You did that on Purpose! Not only is I'm Henry the eighth in my head but so is "Ghost"! Thanks sooo much. I love the profane jarvey, BTW
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
Oops. *sheepish* You are much welcome, including, er, to any lingering images. :) Glad you enjoyed the Jarvey! Thanks for the review!
Wonderful! I'm just going to bed with one of the biggest grins on my face, ever.
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
Thanks so much--I aim to generate grins! If you're up for more, the sequel's in the queue!!!
Stubble burn... WT...?
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
Haha--oops! Well, I guess either Severus didn't shave as well as he thought, or maybe all those months of doing without built up his testosterone to the point where it grows back really quickly. Snogging a man with even a wee bit of stubble is asking for ouch!
Nearly dead... Must continue... LOL
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
Good heavens. Don't go toes-up on my account--after all, fandom cannot afford to lose the writer of 'The Man With the Golden Wand'!
Hysterical! Can’t stop. Off to read the rest before I die laughing.
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
That epilogue was the best. I love the bejeweled towel dispenser. What I would give to be a sentient towel dispenser. (No! No, fairy godmother, I didn't mean it! ... Well, sort of.)
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
Ha! Be careful what you wish for! Fortunately, Fairy Godmothers are a little less literal-minded that Genies. Glad you liked it! (now, if only I can maintain comedy control throughout the sequel...)
Response from notsosaintly (Reviewer)
Oh, I have all the confidence in you that you will be able to keep up the comedy!! Um, is control necessary?
Now that was quite a titillating sex scene. I don't know why, but when Severus gets all incoherent, it does things to me.
hahaha.. man I love that jarvey. I wonder what other languages she can curse in?Merovingian: "I love the French language.... fantastic language, especially to curse with... it's like wiping your arse with silk" update soon
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
Hee hee... Well, she is pretty fluent in English and Spanish, but I do believe she can come up with the odd vulgarity in Japanese, Slovak, and maybe, just maybe, French! Thanks for the review!
This chapter is hillarious! The towel dispenser really steals the show in the gents lav. I laughed so hard my eyes were tearing. I got the "Hitchhiker's Guide" influence and appreciate it greatly. One more chapter with a generous helping of lemon pudding (and some smart comments from Reg) should round the story out quite nicely.
Response from dracontia (Author of Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey)
Towley thanks you much for the kind words. And the Jarvey's gag writer appreciates it as well! Thanks for the review, and there is a sequel in the queue if you're interested!
