Would the HP Lexicon work? I think they have some sort of chapter by chapter breakdown.

Yep! That was exactly what I needed!

PS -- I'm a bad toad. I should have written you about the fic, but last night, I realized there was no hope. The boys were on strike, the Muses were marching in sympathy, and negotiations had totally broken down. I wrote the mods and withdrew from the fest. Sigh.

I probably should have done that a long time ago. The boys were relieved and all said "Finally! Now will you please get off your ass and work on the damn Snack story? Geeez!"

So that's what I'm doing. And even tho there *might* be a bit of Snarry and/or Snupin in there, it's still mainly Snack.

Oh, hon, I'm sorry! I know how having to bag a story in the middle grates on me. It's cheese and aluminum all over again. But I'm glad you feel better! And I'm glad you're writing something that'll make you a lot happier!

As any Snack story surely would. :) Even better with added extra love interests!

Yeah, seconding the vote for the Lexicon. It's not a perfect source, but it DOES have pretty detailed calendars and events timetables for each year.

Definitely, Lexicon. I love the Lexicon's timelines to get the basic summary:

Ooh, but I want to know what you are working on??

D'oh! I shoulda thought of that! Thanks!

I'm working on... it's not really a sequel, it's more like a continuation of an exchange piece I did over at bottomsnape called "Childish Things". I've taken to calling it the "CH Expansion Pack". It was totally meant as a one shot, but there was enough clamor for a sequel to get me thinking about it. And then I realized I could expand the story and use it as a bridge in a larger story arc (known around here as BASS, for Big Ass Snack Story-arc) so.... I'm basically just yielding to peer pressure. ;-)

Was there a story I missed????

Hmmm, did you miss "Childish Things?" I did it for a Bottomsnape exchange so it's posted there. Maybe I didn't cross-post it to my flist.

The fic's set in OOTP but it concerns an event that occurs after "Wild Creatures" and after the Shrieking Shack incident. Remember how we were kind of talking about what could have gone wrong to make them go from all lovey-dovey in Wild Creatures to the way they are in OOTP?

I guess I started thinking about it too hard. Because I hadn't planned to write a sequel to this fic, but then... the possibilities of it being part of the Snack arc became overwhelming.

The whole story arc is a long one -- no idea how long it will be as it keeps morphing -- because once I've got them well and thoroughly broken up (in a manner which explains their intense mutual hatred), then I have to get them back together, don't I? :-D
