The After the Flaw Timeline
The plan was to start writing the next chapter tonight. However, it's not going anywhere. Instead, loonie made a suggestion to me that I took to heart. And it makes a lot of sense, since I'm feeling her pain myself.
I'm at Seventeen Years Later. That makes a hell of a lot of backstory. And timelines and chronologies that I'm getting confused about, and I shudder to think what my readers are feeling.
So instead of starting the next chapter I decided to write:
The After the Flaw Timeline!
Bum bum buuuummm!!!
Important dates in the After the Flaw sequence, along with a listing of where each is referenced for the first time.
A few things to keep in mind:
When I started the After the Flaw sequence in July 2007, there was yet to be any clear Deathly Hallows chronology available. As such, I set the Battle of Hogwarts in June 1998. Timelines that have been created since then mark it at early May 2008.
I'm AU. I know it. Now it's once again proven. I might go back and re-order the month counts at some point, but right now I'm going to stick with it.
Anyway, here's the breakdown of all important events so far, starting with events of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I'll come back and update it with each posted chapter, and will try to find a place to link it on each chapter page.
If anyone thinks something's missing that is vital, please let me know. If anyone thinks that I put something in the wrong place, please let me know.
Codes in parentheses correspond to the chapter number, all of which can be found on my Previous Chapters page here. With the exception of these characters, all characters were created by, and belong to, J.K. Rowling.
Enough talk?
Excellent.
