The Headmaster's Study is a Harry Potter fanfiction archive for the Snape/Dumbledore pairing. It was part of the Snape Slash Fleet.
Site History
The site was created around September and October 2001,[1] and was officially up and running by November 11, 2001.[2]
JayKay posted to SSF-Update in June 2002 stating that the Snape/Dumbledore archive was looking for a new archivist.[3] However, Sheila continued to run the site through at least September 2003.
In September 2003, Sheila announced that the site had moved to SlashCity.[4] It moved to inkquill.com around early 2005,[5] where it is still online but requires a login ID password to access. It uses the same ID and password previously used by Ink Stained Fingers, which is hosted at the same site. The original GeoCities site remained online until the closure of GeoCities in 2009.
Fanart
The also has a page for fanart, where Sheila writes: "I'm looking for any art featuring Snape and Dumbledore, for their section of the SSF."
Sheila also held a Snape/Dumbledore fanart contest in April 2002 where she offered prizes for three winning submissions.[6] The only piece of fanart on the archive is Blackletter's winning contest submission.
