I like Seeking Danger. I think it fits best with your current theme.
Living with Danger
Living without Danger
Dealing with Danger
Facing Danger
Seeking Danger

Nice list, and vote noted!

Over the last few months I've stopped reading a lot of fanfic as so much has become clichéd or done better by someone else, but I can't give up on this universe. =)
Fabulous job yet again.
And how about Dodging Danger? Defying Danger? (Clearly I'm on an alliteration kick tonight.)
Anne B. Walsh replied:
...wow. Thanks. Alliteration is fun. Into the hat with it!

"The Fifth Endangerment", perhaps?
Anne B. Walsh replied:
That sounds vaguely familiar... what am I thinking of?

As always, great chapter(s). Can't wait to see what will happen with Ron and Neenie. I loved Letha and Padfoot's interaction this chapter -- so touching, and yet it made me giggle as well. My mother will be so thrilled -- when I go home, I will have not one, but THREE chapters of FD to take her. Out of the 4 WIPs we follow, this is the one she asks about most frequently.
I did indeed Google the chapter title, and it makes me both hopeful and afraid to hope. I've been following for too long to ever think I know what will happen next.
As for fifth story titles... hmm... I'm really not sure. They all have their own charms. Outliving Danger stands out, simply because it feels like the completion of a circle begun with Living with Danger. Problem being, I really don't like the possible implication there. Seeking Danger feels almost like Harry and the Pack are going to go out looking for trouble, which, knowing them, they may. It doesn't feel like as much of a "conclusion-type" title, for me. As for Ending Danger, it has sort of the same feel as Outliving Danger, without being as in-your-face. I have to say I prefer 2 and 3.
Surviving Danger is an idea that just popped into my head. It conveys the sense of struggle, I think. Then again, you are the almighty author, who has all the ideas and knows where she is going with this. I merely wait in awed silence, hoping for you to grace us with the next chapter whenever your muse deems it fitting.
Thank you so much for writing a series so awesome that we've stuck with it for years.
Anne B. Walsh replied:
When're you going home? There might be four... and your title goes into the hat, though you're not the first to suggest it. I do have one I like best of all the suggestions, though, and I shall reveal it for people's thoughts at the end of Chapter 49. You're very welcome and I hope you continue to stick with it until it's finished!

Question: Can't they just use the pendant wishes/stones to restore Ron's eyes? Like with what they did to find each other and their families and such?
Anne B. Walsh replied:
It might be possible, but that's very much outside the realm of normal magic, which the other pendant things have not necessarily been. We'll see what happens.

Isaiah 61:1-2
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,[a]
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn.
YEEEEEEEE!!! I love that passage now more than ever. YAY for the fifth story. Awesome writing for this chapter (as per usual) and my choice of the three would have to be Seeking Danger, unless you plan to include some time after the war in which case it might be better to use something like Ending Danger. Outliving Danger is my least favorite only in that it foreshadows the death of Danger during the war.Ending Danger just doesn't fit right and while I like Seeking Danger, it...implies that Harry and co. WANT to put themselves in danger whenever the opportunity presents itself.
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Well quoted. And that little (a) footnote is to say that in some translations, that word is "the blind"... hint hint. Vote noted. But are you saying Harry and company don't go looking for trouble?

The new fic's name would probably depend on if Danger is either: 1) lost, 2) dying, or 3) dead, at the end of this installment.
Anne B. Walsh replied:
True true. I may go with one suggested by another reader, which is at the same time more ambiguous and more leading...

Hello. Can I suggest "Entrancing Danger"? As in, quote:
1.: to put into a trance
2.: to carry away with delight, wonder, or rapture
The first seems pretty obvious and the second very hopeful as to the outcome.
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Into the hat it goes!

Wow, nothing and nothing and nothing and then 3 chapters in a week. Spectacular. I am on the edge of my seat with all the tragedy though. I don't know how I'm going to sleep at night for the worry. I may loose my job and end up in the snow with no internet. Please keep updating :-)
I don't know if I like 'Outliving Danger' There are some scary implications there.
Anne B. Walsh replied:
I'm trying to make it a weekly thing. Not sure how well I'll keep it up but here's hoping!

Another great chapter Anne. Funny how Harry wasn't able to escape the locked door, cat-flap, and bars even with not being in the house summer after 1st year. As for the 5th installment I'll suggest Out of Danger as if this is indeed the conclusion that is what they should be by the end of it. Happy to have you back posting, now if we could just get Aaran reposting in his series also I'd once again be entirely content with the site LOL.
Anne B. Walsh replied:
I do have fun twisting canon to fit my needs. Title inserted into the hat!

I would go with Ending Danger, because before I saw your choices that one poped into my head.

Vote duly noted.

Really enjoying the updates the last few weeks- you do a really good job of seeming to bring the pack and pride to their knees. I just hope we get to watch as they overcome this next trial. I really enjoyed the chapter.
Anne B. Walsh replied:
See, the thing about being on your knees is that you can be preparing to spring... don't worry, they'll overcome it.

Of the three options suggested, I'd go with Seeking Danger. The other two seem to imply Danger's going to die. Now, I'm not going to be making a prediction one way or the other as to her survival. It's a war, people die. Still, just as the tension's gone when there's no risk of death, the tension likewise fades when we know, or think we know, that a character's going to die.
As always, excellent work and I'm eagerly awaiting more.
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Oh, I don't know. People seem pretty darned tense over Luna's vision... but I do see what you're saying. Vote noted and more coming soon!

*gasp!* O.O that was so EPIC! but sad. :( I like the title Seeking Danger, because it has a nice fit, i guess. Your getting better at updating faster as well! keep up the good work. Sincerly, JeRK/Dangerverse Fan. :D
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Epicness is fun to write. Vote duly noted. I will try to keep it up...

Oh, wow! I've been dead to the world working overtime, and I am rewarded for being good with TWO CHAPTERS AT ONCE!!! (imagine it in the echo-ey Big Announcer Voice)
Bearing in mind that I have no idea what the theme(s) for the next bit of the Dangerverse is/are:
Accepting Danger
I'd try "Courting Danger" but that has altogether the wrong implications, doesn't it... does it?
Running Headlong Into Danger (yeah, I know, too long and possibly also too silly)
I have to go now. I'll try to think of more later.
Thank you for writing. And did I mention that scarecrows really creep me out now?
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Well, you win the prize for funniest proposed title! Thank you for them. More chapters on the way!

I've been following ffa.net since it's inception, and I've been following the dangerverse since then as well. I honestly enjoy your story and look forward to more plot shifts and roller coaster chapters! Cheers! Oh, and by the way, i think you should name it Unraveling Danger>
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Hmm, interesting. Into the hat with it. And why people insist on calling my story a roller coaster when I hate roller coasters with a passion... :-) Here's hoping no more four-year time lags!
LukeJB posted a comment on Saturday 29th January 2011 4:34pm
You could try Surviving Danger as the fifth name.
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Ooh, so I could. Into the hat!
