Notes:

Thanks to rosskpr for beta reading, and giving good suggestions. She has been very patient-- she sent me back the notes on this chapter two months ago(!), but illness and other real life interruptions kept me from acting on those suggestions until now. Thanks to my readers for their patience, too, assuming you have not given up on this story and me.

OK, I was taking a break, and found these.

Wordles use the words that you paste in, determine the frequency of each word (except for common words), and create a bit of art based on the words. Words used more often are bigger. I pasted in the words from chapters one through sixteen of Something Past Survival. It really makes it clear what some of the themes of the story are. (Grin).

Here are two of my favorites, behind the cut...

( Wordles Here )
Here is the wordle Website: http://www.wordle.net/

Harry Potter LAS is in Round 11... nearing the end. One of the entries is mine.

The moderator would love to have more people come and vote. There are only three entries, and they are each under 1000 words. Sunday at 4:00 PM Central time is the deadline for voting. If you do vote, you have to vote for the Best Written AND the Worst Written, and give reasons / comments.

The voting link is here. There is a link at the bottom of the voting link that goes to the entries.

Have fun reading!

I am still writing SPS. Really. I have the first two sections written of chapter 16, and am working on the second two scenes, which I wrote before some major plot developments, and now have to be rewritten, while trying to keep the same mood. Wish me luck. Now go vote!

I'm participating in the Harry Potter Last Author Standing challenge (I think I mentioned). Right now, Round 6 is in the midst of voting. (One of the entries is mine, but I'm not saying which one...) Anyway, the moderator is pleading for people to vote. There are only 6 entries, and they are each under 1000 words. Most are pretty good. If you do vote, you have to vote for the Best Written AND the Worst Written... and give reasons / comments.

The voting link is here. There is a link at the bottom of the voting link that goes to the entries.

Have fun reading!

SPS UPDATE:
November is Nanowrimo, and again, I am using it to write madly... adding 50,000 words to this story. They will then be edited, pared down, etc., to get chapters worth reading (grin). I expect to be able to post a chapter in November or December, and then several after that.

Summary:

After the war, the survivors try to find a way to cope with the losses they have incurred and move into a future they have yet to create. As they try to find ways to save themselves, they realize that perhaps the best way is to save each other.

This story will eventually be Harry Draco Slash. It will probably take a while to get there from here. This chapter is rated for general audiences.

Thanks to my beta rosskpr .She reviewed this chapter not once but twice, with good suggestions and comments each time.

Other Notes:

Finally! Harry and Draco in the same place... however briefly. More to come! This chapter is in two parts, as it is too big for LJ to handle.

One of the things that has helped me get back on the writing horse is the Harry Potter Last Author Standing Challenge. See my profile for more information. I'll be posting some of the stories (all under 1000 words) that I wrote for it soon, but except for one, they are not in SPS-verse. The one that is, I'll wait to post, as it contains spoilers.

As always, reviews and critiques keep the creativity flowing! Let me know what you think!

Thanks:

Again and still: thanks to my betas ivyingarden and rosskpr . Their help makes this a better fic, between brainstorming, catching errors in grammar and canon, reviewing plot flow, and supplying encourangement to "write write write". Any errors after the two of them have combed through the work are from the author not paying attention (or being just plain stubborn)!

Other Notes:

This is one of the first scenes I wrote in this story, and it's been languishing as I caught up.

In some ways, it feels like the chapters up until this point have been winding down from the final battle. After the next chapter (which includes Remus' and Tonks' funeral, and a tiny bit of Harry and Draco interaction), I expect the flow to surge back up, with new things growing from the seeds that have been planted in the chapters so far.

Other Notes:

This chapter has a bit of Draco and a lot of Narcissa. Next Chap will be Harry and a few funerals. The chapter after that, if all goes according to plan, will have Harry and Draco in speaking distance!

Again and still: thanks to

ivyingardenfor all the help making this a better fic! She patiently helps me brainstorm (with some great ideas to throw into the cauldron), is fabulous with canon, has a knack for language, and keeps at me to "write write write!" In this chapter she went above and beyond, and role-played/ helped write the dialogue between Andromeda and Harry.

Also, thanks to

rosskpr, for beta work that is both meticulous and enthusiastic. She helped me catch several canon errors in addition to watching my grammar and asking plot flow questions, and her encouragement keeps me writing!
