Writing Update - Perfectly Normal
Chapter 16 of "Extraordinary Summer" is done, with an epic 10.5K chapter chock full of drama. I rewrote it a bit to add a bit more action, and fix some plot holes. I simply couldn't make it any shorter, as it was I cut out 600 words to plonk into the start of chapter 17.
It's now up to the end of August, so there's only so much fic left to fit in - this fic will wrap up either *before* the Hogwarts Express, or just *after* the ride back to Hogwarts, depending on what suits best as a tidy ending as I approach that part of the story.
Opinions, anyone? I'm leaning towards finishing up after the ride back, and before the Sorting, but I think either should work. Obviously if I include the train ride the story will be that little bit longer (so, a marginally longer wait for this fic, but a little more content once it posts). Naturally there will be another long fic in the series after this one, covering the GoF school year.

More content is always better ;)

Thanks for sharing your opinion! :)
I also love additional content, but if the taste is too sweet, it might become a wee bit bitter to some who aren't patient. ;) I say end it where it feels right with the right balance of closure and excitement for the next instalment. :)

I'll try and find a good spot to wrap things up relatively tidily without leaving things hanging too much for the next fic.
FYI I ended up including a train ride scene, in the end. There were a couple of little character interaction spots that I'd forgotten I wanted to include, and they padded things out just right. The fic ends during the train ride, and the next fic will start with the Sorting.
