Unexpected - Announcement
Well, it looks like we will soon begin posting Unexpected, the sequel to Undesirable.
aveeno_baby and I are currently working with
brknhalo241 on rewrites of the last chapters of the novel. The rest is currently with betas
asm614 and Mini Mouse for edits and proof-reading. It is currently around forty chapters, though that may contract or expand a little as we do those last rewrites.
I am hoping that we will begin posting within the next week. My plan is to post a chapter every Monday and Wednesday.
Unexpected is also a change of pace for us. Where Undesirable was very much a Hurt/Comfort fic with serious Darkfic flashbacks, Unexpected is much lighter. It essentially began as an epilogue for the first book. We wanted to give Harry his dream, his happy ending. So the book tends to be a combination of fluff and smut with some comedy and a thread of angst. Harry is still a changed person, as anyone who had been through the events of the first book, would be. This story focusses on his struggle to achieve the dreams he holds -- a domestic life that includes not only Draco, their pets and his friends, but a child as well. The desire for a family of his own seems, to me, to be one of those essential characteristics of Harry Potter, no matter what else we do with him.
We have tried to write Unexpected in such a way that those who haven't read Undesirable will still enjoy it. I do think that it would be better with having read the first one though. So, if you are new to this journal and haven't read Undesirable, now might be a good time to try that one so that you will be caught up when we begin posting.
