Quick HP fandom question - Severitus/ Sevitus

[hobgoblinn]

At first, I though it was just an alternate spelling, but now I'm not sure. As I understand it, "Severitus" is a HP fandom lingo for a story in which Snape is somehow Harry's father - biological or adoptive. Right? So what's "Sevitus"? Are they distinct words with different meanings (one biological, one adoption/ mentor fic)? Help me out here, HP fans. I really did try to google this, but I'm not getting anything particularly useful.

ETA: So, consenus is, "Severitus" was originally a particular challenge, not unlike the "Marriage Law" Challenge, and it's been somewhat appropriated to cover fics that share some of the same characteristics as those in the challenge. The name comes from the originator of the challenge. "Sevitus" denotes fics that deal more generally with Snape as father/father figure, but many authors use "Severitus" interchangeably with it.

I thought 'Sevitus' was just another irritating spelling mistake for 'Severitus' as they do seem popular boo boos to make. :)

Severitus is the username of the person who first put forth a specific challenge. In the challenge Snape is found to be Harry's father, with Harry's appearance changing to match that of Severus' on his 15th birthday.

Sevitus is what I've seen fics where Snape is found to be Harry's biological father at some point other than the 15th birthday. Sevitus fics don't always include the appearance change.

I’m glad you asked that question, because I have also been looking for the answer. I hope someone has it. And I also thought one was a mispelling. I also wonder where that name came from. Severus and stitches?

I think I found it.

If you know of any Severitus/Sevitus fanfictions, plese do give us a link and a short summary. :P

For those who don't know what Severitus/Sevitus fanfictions are, here's the definition:

Severitus: Severitus was the first author of Snape-is-Harry's-father fanfictions. There's a challenge that you have to keep track of.

Sevitus: Sevitus is Snape-is-Harry's-father type of fanfictions where you create the plot idea yourself.

As I understand it, Severitus is a specific challenge, like the MLC or the YLC. Specific rules and guidelines were laid out. Sevitus has Harry as Severus' biological/adoptive son, or just Severus as Harry's mentor; just so long as it's a father/son-type relationship, rather than Snarry, which is the name for their 'ship.

What's even more confusing is that I'm not sure if all the Harry-is-Severus'-son authors know the difference. I've never read the challenge, so I can't be sure, but as I understand it, my favorite fic in this genre follows the exact rules. The author calls it Severitus anyway.

Thanks for asking, because I had no idea! I've always seen and called any Snape-is-Harry's-biological-or-adoptive-father stories Severitus.
