So, I know there are those of you that are wondering about hardcopies of stories.In the coming days, I will be publishing 'Whispers of a Raven' as a full ebook and begin the process of having hardcopies printed.The ebook will of course be entirely free to download and all of you in Black Tier and above will receive a hard copy free of charge as per your perks.More stories will follow ASAP.I will have other copies available to give away in competitions or at random. Of course, I cannot charge for FF hardcopies in any way, so these won't be available for purchase. So long as you have been a patron of Black tier or above for 3 months or more, you will receive a copy and I will be in touch in due course regarding this.As I'm sure you are aware, the 'Harry is raised by Cassiopeia and attends Durmstrang' story was the winner of the series of polls I have posted recently.Here is a little more information about this story.- Although Harry will be raised by Cassiopeia, the Blacks as a whole will not feature as heavily as they have in other stories. With that being said, there will be enough of them to satisfy that element.Pairing - will remain undecided, but there are a few possibilities, some canon characters included.Durmstrang - I will be creating my own version of the school based off what we know from Canon, which in all honesty, is quite little. I plan on building a very vivid representation of all aspects of the school from how it is run, different available classes etc.Characters - There will be a mix of OC's and canon characters. Some OC's will be entirely original and others from already established families, but it will remain a Harry centric story.Honestly, this is a really exciting story for me to write and I have no doubt that you will enjoy it. Lots of surprises, character appearances and arcs to look forward to with this one.I may even post some teasers between now and posting the first chapter which will be shortly before WTRBA is concluded, so, still quite a while yet.Anyway, do feel free to ask any questions you may have and even offer suggestions. I'm always happy to consider what you guys have to say when it comes to my writing.This story came about from two different ideas I put forward that you guys overwhelmingly wanted to see combined, so there is every chance your suggestion is taken on board.Anyway, I have rambled on long enough, but as always, your support means more to me than I can express.Thank you all for joining/sticking around.Lee

Looking forward to that next story, and once I get paid at the end of next month I’m certainly changing to the black’s for the books. 1 question, how many chapters do you estimate WTRBA to come out at?

Looking forward to the story (as always). Please dont make it a fleur or gabrielle story 🤮 and please dont name drop a lot. While some familiar characters are good, having loads suddenly deciding to go to durmstrang would need lots of change in the world. Sounds like this story will be quite different from the rest and I'm excited to see it. Shame you didnt get to write the crossover, as it got outvoted in last 2 votes I think you should just write it regardless if that brings you joy and wanna try something different again. Will you be signing the books? That would be a nice little extra touch (and in 20 years when you're famous and I am broke I could sell it for some good cash lol)

Lee McCusker (TheBlack'sResurgence)

In all honesty, it is unlikely to be a Fleur or Gabrielle story, I have others planned for them, but this doesn't have the right feel for it, and I certainly won't be dragging anyone who goes to Hogwarts in canon to Durmstrang. It would be too forced and false. If people want them signed I ha e no issue in doing that 🤣 if my signature is one day worth anything, feel free to make some cash from it. You have my blessing to do so 👍

You are the goat m8 you're gonna get big. If I had any more money I'd invest in you in true Harry Evans fashion.

Really enjoying WTRBA so far. Im curious approximately how many chapters are you expecting WTRBA to be when completed?

Kamila M

I am curious about hardcopy book for your fanfictions. Will it be available for all patrons? Are you planning to send it all over the world? 🌍

Andrew

Looking forward to it but as far as pairings if you decide not to do an OC I think a pairing that is not used often or at all would be nice.

Could we change to a Black level Patreon so that we get a Hardcover book in 3 months? Or is this a one time thing?

Holy crap we're only half way through! That's friggin amazing!

Man I'm so curious to see your take on Harry in Durmstrang, wondering if this will be your first "dark" harry story as most others have been righteous willing to kill harry I really hope to see you explore intricacies of magic and showing old magic like you've taken to doing in When the Roses Bloom, seeing random shows of awesome magic like the wand guardian or the using body parts to trigger old magic like the most recent chapter had, or other concepts are all really interesting and flesh out the world and lore aspect of the story well in my opinion. I'm really excited to see how you play things with necromancy, dark arts, blood magic, soul magic, and all sorts of creepy crawlies like rituals which the normal schools would never teach. I really want to also see references to grindelwald's legacy and other easter eggs like that there

One thing I'm curious about in this upcoming story would be the dynamic between Hermione and Ron without Harry. since (if I'm being honest) I can't picture them becoming friends without Harry in the picture to help bring them together. Personally, I would imagine Ron joining with Dean and Seamus whereas Hermione would become more of a withdrawn recluse, maybe getting close with Neville but as a whole throwing herself headfirst into the library and magic in general.

Dying Light

How will you settle the Goblet of Fire? Will Harry stick to Durmstrang till his 7th year or will there be a shift in his 4th Year? Pairings will be difficult I imagine, although Hermione might not be a bad way to go, but I know you are not a avid Harmony shipper. But I feel like it could develop well. Considering the fact that Hermione will not be all that popular with Harry not being at Hogwarts.

Travis

what I'm hoping for is that Harry stays at Durmstrang but his name still comes out of the goblet, I think that would be pretty funny. I also like the idea of Harry getting paired with Hermione but if not her then I could see Harry (since he's raised by Cassiopia Black anyways) getting paired with a Slytherin girl. during his fourth year in Britain anyways (that is if he's roped into the Goblet of fire) outside of that, hard to say. I personally wouldn't be opposed to an OC pairing but besides that, the pickings are quite slim in the canon material

Francis

Tbh I would rather Harry not be involved in the the tournament at all unless Lee decides to make Harry a 7th year when the tournament is taking place. Personally for this story I’m hoping for an OC pairing. I’d like to see something a bit different. And just because its a Harry potter fic doesn’t mean Ron and hermione need to be as integral to the story as they are in cannon especially if they go completely different school with opposing views on magic. I’m looking for a darker fic for this and one and I’m looking forward to reading the first chapter!

Bellerophon

Im hoping it’s going to a much darker Harry who delves far deeper into the dark arts but still retains that good core from canon.

Bellerophon

I couldn’t see Hermione being more than tentative friends with a Harry that’s been raised by Cassiopeia Black. He would be far too Dark for her. While she isn’t as bad as Ron she’s still very much much of the belief that any thing remotely dark is evil.

Chris

He said around 90 chapters

Tyler T

I can’t lie, I’m a sucker for Harry/Fleur or Harry/ Tonks. But there are not many that are well written.

Ondrej Mišo

I dont think Lee likes Ron and Hermione much, so far they never were more than side characters, or just mentioned in passing. HTB makes them as quite shitty friends and not really important to the story at all, time travel stories for obvious reasons just mention them and green in the grey and flower for the soul never really explore any relationship with them despite Harry meeting them. I dont think that's gonna change. Hermione is not really a likeable character and if she doesnt die during the troll incident, she's not likely to get any more popular with her attitude.

Adam Rosenbaum

The best version of Drumstrang I’ve seen is Firephoenix8 in her stories.

Khamûl Easterling

Would be interesting to see a Durmstrang!Harry/Hermione pairing. Factoring in Krum's obvious interest in her could create some added drama. I'm hoping for either that or a Harry/Tonks pairing because let's face it Tonks makes everything better.
