It's been a while since I've done one of these, and I have been thinking recently that it would be nice to get a little feedback from you guys on things you'd like to see more of in future fics.

I've listed some suggestions below, but please do comment any others you have, and if you see one you like mentioned by someone else, just click the like button on it.

As always, the support I receive from you guys is humbling, and you have my apologies that I've not been as interactive as I'd like to recently.

My depression has been pretty bad and I recently had surgery on my knee, but I'm feeling much better now.

Thank you all, I wouldn't be doing what I do without each of you.

PS, I should have an update regarding printed works very soon. It turns out that it is difficult to find a company with the capability of creating WOAR as it is around 1500 pages in total, but I am in talks with several about completing the project.

Iñaki Sañudo

I’d love to see a Harry attends Durmstrang story from you, as I’m quite interested in how you would do it. Keep up the great work

JHPTYGATE

Iñaki, I believe that’s coming next.

Taylor Schmidt

Agreed. A durmstrang fic would really open doors to explore other parts of the magical world and differing cultures/approaches to magic

JHPTYGATE

Also, I’d love to see a Harry/Andromeda time travel story to complete the Black sisters trilogy.

Iñaki Sañudo

Looking forward to it. Also really looking forward to seeing how WTRBA ends

Kryn_Womble

Sucks that we can only give one vote, I would have voted for options 2, 3 and 6 but I had to prioritise. 1 isn’t so much a priority but if you want to go for it, do it. I’m hoping for a Harry/Andromeda fic, post War or time travel.

Dhaval Patel

Merlin or founder time where Harry is salazar's blood heir in the future.

Josh

You can choose all that apply

Ross

I'm pro and against time travel fics in the way that it gives you much more scope to do your own thing but against in the way that you could do your own thing, change a few names and some plots and you have your own original piece of writing

Non_Euclidean_Feels

Definitely wouldn't be opposed to some non-human characters being part of the main cast, either Harry himself, the pairing, or friends around them!

Bosmer1701

Two stories I would love to see would be which was brought up; Founder's time and a Luna pairing.

XxxKDDarkxxX boss

Harry/andromeda is a future pairing,or make a story when Harry is actually born during a past timeline

Randal Durham

A Japanese or Egyptian school theme would be interesting. Or even something branched off of Miranda Flairgold’s works on ff.net

Icarus

It would be interesting Harry being salazar or even another founder. A twist could even be a fem Harry even tho I know that can be a contentious topic

Logan

You are a great writer so while I like all those options, I’m always going to prefer what you want to write about; as I assume that will be the highest quality and easiest for you.

Andrew

It would take alot but you could use inspiration from other books, movies or video games. But I'd like to see more different and varied magic there are so many possibilities for conjuration, runes, illusions, blood magic or elemental magics. Just basically more new magic or indepth of the existing magics.

AlexanderR

I hope that when you say you're feeling better, that's referring to your depression as well. Not just your knee. If you're still feeling depressed, please make sure to reach out to someone for help. Getting these stories out isn't as important as taking care of yourself.

Sinfel

Something iv thought would be awesome is a Harry and Nagini time travel story. Like he meets her while she's part of the circus freak show and they hit it off. Kinda a parallel to him meeting the snake at the zoo and setting it free in the first book.

Moe

First of all I want to say I really like all your stories and the current one is your best work so far. But I don’t think multi-pairing would be good. I haven’t found many good ones and most of them feel kind of forced. Personally I think if you do it you really have to focus on that kind of relationship and can’t make it a side story. (At leash it feels like a side story to me in the current one).

Harold Finch

One idea that I had, was Harry actually being Salazar's direct descendent whilst Voldemort came from a cadet line. You could add some family magic thing, where as Harry is the heir of Slytherin, the family magic refused to let Voldemort kill him.

Tyler T

I would give my firstborn for a Harry/Fleur or a Harry/Tonks pairing. It is so hard to find one that is well written.

Jeet Jeet

Time travel fics are great as they expand upon the universe so much more. One idea that I would love to see is a crossover with some popular magic based universe like Avatar the last Airbender, Lord of the Ring, Inheritance Cycle, BBC Merlin or Game of Thrones.

František Haško

regarding multi-pairing, while it can be hot and all, it always seems unrealistic. What i don't get is why there must be defined pairing, in sense of One True Love. I mean, all of yours are really superbly written, but WTRBA is really good in that Minerva while clear pairing is not yet defined as a relationship just yet and so does not overshadow war dynamic. But what I wanted to mention more, why there is no simple, natural consecutive dating with multiple girls for Harry? Only HP fanfiction that is doing it in any real way is Loose Cannon. Of course, most of the drama there is from breaking up in over the top fashion, but that is more of relationships being too serious too quickly...

Eleets

For me it's about interesting new pairings and concepts which are rather few and far between so interesting pairings and timelines are usually the best available

XtremeSoldier14

One story I'd love to see is a Harry and Andromeda pairing but where she still has Nymphadora, and Harry raises her as his own, I've only come across one and it is no where near as well written or world built as you could do, but tbh anything you write I'll read, keep up the great work!!!

mchlrx

If you say more adult themes/content, I really hope you don’t start adding smut to your fics. I never understand why so many fanfic authors need to add over the top descriptive explicit sexual scenes to a very good story, because it really doesn’t add anything in terms of storytelling or character development.

GyaNNN

Could you do a Harry Potter/Lily Evans pairing?I'm not asking for the typical incest/smut, it can be a Lily Evans from another dimension/universe, meaning there is not biological relationship between them. I'd really like to see a good story with that pairing that is long and not just porn with plot. The only really story like this is "Another Life" by Oldking01 in A03. The plot is very original, the only shame is that the fic is too short!

Photoboy

I'd love to see a Harry and Hermione pairing. I really enjoy your time travel fics given they are not really do overs like most of the fan fics. If you are thinking on another time travel I would suggest going to back to the time of the Hogwarts Founders. It not something I have come across.

TheWanderingRaven

I have always thought it could be kind of fun to see one where Harry and Neville are both sent back in time and have to navigate it together. Or maybe even Hermione also going back with them just so there is a mix of new and old going on. Also find in time travel ones I kind of like most versions of the Amelia Bones/Harry pairing its an interesting pairing that doesn't get a lot of attention

Brenin Llwyd

I would love to see more esoteric magic: full tilt rituals, enchanting weapons, non-Western magic, indigenous, Asian, African etc practices. Conjuring/interacting with djinn and Fae and other creatures and their magic

Vanja Vasiljevic

As someone said before Harry/Fleur story would be bloody awesome!!!

CJ

😂😂

CJ

I’d like this to. I think your style could make a hermione pairing very different from the normal overly romantic soulmate stuff

VC

I’d love more time travel Harry fics with the premise that Harry is an adult! Glad you are feeling better.

Rick Malone

I’d like to see a crossover. I was hopeful the GoT crossover suggestion would win the last round of “next story” voting, but alas it was not meant to be.

Cowboyhaters93

I love time travel fics where Harry gets with Andromeda or a Female Voldemort and some sex scenes would be great

Frederik

I concur. I'd like to read more about an established Harry Potter in his 20s/30s which allows us to skip school/training filler material and enables a different dynamic in regard to relationships with established characters, i.e. HP is older than the Marauders.

Frederik

I strongly agree about the One True Love trope. I'd like a Gen fic or rather a realistic portrayal of relationships/dating or whatever the kids are calling it these days. In any case it shouldn't be the focus of the story or plot.

Sunny

I'd love their to be a like trapped in time fanfic, where Harry's only way back to his time is to take the long road. Through this journey, he doesn't age physically and he learns magic on a whole different level from the founders, pevrell brothers, flamels & etc. Also, a Harry goes to Beauzbatons would be interesting with Gabrielle aged up as a pairing. Next, an older Harry (personality post Tom's death in Flower for the Soul) attending Hogwarts and his role in the war as the not the bwl. Finally, an ICW Harry (post DH) betrayed by his friends and kept on house arrest because he's too intelligent/powerful only for a new dark lord/lady to rise. You could also incorporate the wider wizarding/muggle world. This would be a pairing with Tracey Davis. Personally, I don't like multi Harry pairings. It seems stupid and feels like a copout and not necessary.

Joe Schumacher

I think it may be interesting to see how you do with a crossover or two but other than GOT I do not know what other fandoms hold your interest.

Amanda Ray

I will add that I enjoy stories where Harry travels back to between say 1965 and 1975, but want people to keep the known ages of the characters where they are (ie the Black Sisters are older than Harry's parents, not contemporaries). I also like the alternative world fics, but hate how in every one everybody who was dead in Harry's world lives. That's just not realistic. Much better to have an odd one where James Potter survived or the Potters were not attacked or baby Harry died and/or Voldemort may or may not have disappeared. If they've been fighting for years without a lull then nearly nobody would be left. I do like Luna/Harry pairings, but other unusual pairings as well as long as they make sense. Don't care for multis most of the time. I could see a Sirius/James/Lily pairing that results in Harry being born and perhaps in that world baby Harry died or Neville's the boy who lived and Harrys got three parents and younger siblings. You always come up with really interesting takes in putting Harry in place and seeing what happens.

mchlrx

So essentially Basilisk-born by Ebenbild? :D

Asifur Rashid

An adult Harry facing new villains/challenges would be nice for some variety. That's one of the things I like about your current story.

Vak9

Yes Amelia/ Harry Parring would be great!!!

Black Lion of Gryffindor

Crossovers with Star Wars, Robotech, ThunderCats, Voltron, GOT(Margaery or Sansa pairing) More Harry Daphne....maybe post Hogwarts More Arcturus and Cassiopeia Slytherin Harry

Sunny

Haha, yes but we could avoid the whole Albus bashing, the quadruple lordships and the timeline could get changed and not have a full circle.

JustAnotherFan217

Crossovers! DC and Marvel. Star Wars, some anime. No slytherin Harry. Slytherin Harry is super over done. Maybe a story that doesn’t focus on the Blacks (though I get that is your thing.) Love your work!

Robert

Top 3 listed choices all combined looks like a GOT HP cross over 😂

MaximaRegina

If you are looking for a time travel story involving the Founders, I highly recommend Basilisk-Born by Ebenbild! It’s a Harry raised by Merlin and the founders story where he has to live each day in history from his arrival to current day. Incredible story!

Shaitan

Not sure if you were ever a fan but would love to see a HP Mass Effect (or any sci-fi) crossover. Specifically one where an immortal Harry has united the earth (muggle and magical) and created a magical empire. Ideally would love to see the political intrigue as the magic space faring nation collides with the other universe

Vak9

I would like to see a school transfer flick. Wtih Sirius out of Azkaban sooner or freed immediately after capture thanks to Arcturus and the black family supporting him he gets fed up with Hogwarts and decides to call it quits with the school and transfers via the help of the visiting headmasters. Pairing could be Fleur/Harry and he goes to Beauxbatons and finishes his schooling and joins Fleur in the curse breaking life. Harry would also be a 5th or 6th year.

MaximaRegina

If you haven’t already read it, Basilisk-Born by Ebenbild is a great rendition of your first suggestion. I’d personally love to read another story like this and have Harry live through history while affecting everything we know and love in different ways. He could be paired with all sorts of different people through out time, but it not be a multi pairing story as each person is in their time period. Or just one person works for me to. I love any time-travel piece, but have only read one from the founders time that was any good.

Joshua H

In regards to pairings, there's two things I'd like to see: One, not knowing what the endgame pairing is going to be. Two, Harry dating more than one girl. Not in the harem sense. More like he dates Daphne for a little bit, but then it either ends up not working out, or she gets killed in the war, etc. Then he dates someone else down the line, and maybe it works or maybe it doesn't. It could also be fun to see Harry paired with someone who isn't just an obvious good guy. Taking WTRBA as an example, it would've been fun to see him slowly build up a relationship with Summerbee or Cassiopeia, the former of which is a bank robber, and the latter chooses to side with Grindelwald. He knows they're morally questionable at best, yet can't choose who he likes. Maybe he's trying to persuade them to join his way of thinking, whilst they are trying to do the same. The unknown can sometimes be more fun.

Pgx27

I love harem/multi pairings. Always have. But no matter how many the mc is with, one or many, I do like knowing it at the start so that I can see the relationship develop instead of seeing a relationship I want suddenly go to hell in exchange for another one. A more expanded magic world with vampires and other magical creatures is awesome, with huge magical cities with its own nightlife and more. The more adult/mature it is the better in most situations. I do like time travel when it has known characters, like in the Marauder era where you have James, Sirius and Lily, or Tom Riddle era where we are shown a story alongside Riddle. And crossover stories are great, especially where the futuristic world meets broken Magic.

Hpfanboi

honestly...would like a story where after the war Harry disappears because majority of the people he loved died(including Ginny). The only 2 people who survived were with harry during the ministry infiltration in ootp were Hermione and Neville leaving hermione has his proxy in the wizengamot for the potter, black and peverell lordship. Hermione has to juggle between politics and raising her child who is friends with both teddy(harry's heir) and victoire. The story starts 10-15 years after the war with voldemort. There is a new dark lord rising in europe who in terms of power is probably a lot lower then that of voldemort but in terms of having support, is a much bigger threat. In fact the statue of secrecy is broken because of the advancement of technology and the muggle world becomes aware of the wizarding world. Wizarding britain is the new dark lords target. Hermione in the first half of the story is viewed as dumbledore like figure. She is powerful in terms of politics due to her status as proxy for the peverell, potter and black houses, a leader and is supported by majority of the families in britain especially the 28 families as well as the wizengamot. THe first half of the story shows how she is battling the new dark lord forces. Whether she is minister or not is up to you but she has enough political influence to direct forces in a war. Meanwhile Harry is in an isolated corner of the world getting into tune of all his family magic(potter, peverell and black). He meets an immortal wizard who mentored both dumbledore and grindelwald. For the past 6 years Harry was studying under him and continues to do so for a while. Meanwhile in britain(towards half way of the story)The dark lord forces are still kept at bay due to his/her wariness of the hogwart students who participated in the battle of hogwarts. The entire world sees this and ask britain to be more proactive in the war instead of just defending themselves. The dark lord fearing loosing their ground decides to break the spirit of majority of britains wicans. They develop a plan to assasinate hermione which ends up being succesful. Harry learns of the assassination and makes his return to england. After that I leave it up to you. Although I do have a few things in mind that I wish to include in this story. Dudley has a daughter with someone who harry knew in primary school(both used to bully him...or the girl was harry's only friend) and his daughter is magical and is in victoire, teddy and hermione's daughters year. In my mind I kind of hope you make them all friends. However dudley does not mention that he is related to harry potter. Oh and did i mention that the statue of secrecy was broken? It is and everyone knows about wizards.

MaximaRegina

Jumping on the crossover and/or time-travel train! Love those types of stories as there are a million more options for story lines and interesting mixes for pairings. Crossover ideas (not already suggested in this thread): Wheel of Time, Hitman Reborn, Lucifer, Stargate SG-1, Stormlight Archive, Percy Jackson or any ancient mythology mashup of your own creation!

Jay Dakota West

A cross over for sure would definitely be good, I’ve been really into Avengers/GoT crossovers as of lately. I’d love to see what you’d come up with regarding crossovers.

Orion Nebulous

How about a dimension/time travel fic where some major things happened differently when the Potters were attacked? I basically want to see a story with alive Potters and Harry a war veteran. Something like “I’m still here” (which never updates).

Joshua H

A story involving the breaking of the statute of secrecy would also be fun. There aren't really any out there that are all that good.

Mukker

A new school , with more subjects and a more worldly Wizarding world

Photoboy

@MaximaRegina Thanks for the rec!

V_Arko

Harry after defeating Voldemort time travelling back to his younger selfs first year or maybe even third or fourth year? I’d just like time travel that still involves the all the books. Also I think any HP/SciFi you would do would be amazing.

Dino Bacani

More time-travel, I love how each world is slightly different yet the same. It also expands how Voldemort, or even Grindelwald , or some other dark magical meets his or her end. I'm also a completist so I want to see Harry with all three of the Black sisters. We had Bella and Cissy, so I want a Handromeda fic. And although part of me would like a non travel Handromeda, I think it would be hard to compete with Appo Apples What We Lost, which I put as the best Handromeda fic out there at this time. However, what makes that fic so charming is its domesticity and interpersonal drama, there is no war or combat, not that a fanfic needs that, but it does add an extra dynamic. A dynamic that you do so well. Either way, more time travel, you're really good at it and make it different each time. I can't speak on the other things because, we only have one experience with some of them, i.e. Harry attending another school. And I don't know how you'd do with a multiple partner fic, I can't see you doing a harem, but a thruple, maybe, depends on the characters involved. OK, I've rambled on long enough, keep up he good work, I'm thoroughly enjoying When the Roses Bloom Again, and am looking forward to the next fic.

Schad

RT, definitely would love to see a Cassiopeia pairing after the way the interactions between Harry and her are being portrayed in WTRBA. The potential is amazing

Orion Nebulous

I like the idea of having less obvious relationships from the start, with room for relationships that don’t go anywhere, breakups and twists and turns.

Admiral M

I've never been a fan of multi pairings. I love the romance Harry has with the different girls throughout TheBlack'sResurgence's stories, and I don't think that multi pairings are realistic (yes I know its a world of magic), or well written. Most multi pairings just end up with the girl willingly allowing Harry to sleep with other girls and not acting at all realistically jealous, (as they would almost certainly be in real life) that Harry thinks she is not good enough. The other alternative is that Harry ends up getting with multiple girls and the girls end up getting angry at the other girls for long periods of time before accepting it, often causing a lot of uninteresting drama. It takes away from the romantic idea of a close couple that trusts each other more than anyone else, and implies that the girl isn't good enough for Harry and he needs another one, to make up for it. If my romantic partner even suggested that I was not enough and they wanted someone else along with me, then I would break up with them, and I feel like most others would as well.

Depression's a bitch, glad to hear it's gotten better. I've suffered pretty badly with it last two years, even caused me to drop out of my PhD programme... Which really didn't help either. But honestly, reading fanfic did help. I don't even really like Harry Potter much anymore, but it's a familiar world I know like the back of my hand. Your stories have been some of the best I've read in that time. I've loved getting lost in them, and they have played a part in helping me through a dark time. So what I'm trying to say is, thanks for that.

Zachary Michalski

I love the GoT crossovers, but it sucks that they are rarely finished. There are a couple, but they are almost always left unfinished

Francis

Multi pairing in my opinion is absolutely awful and I hope you never write one as it would be a waste of your talent. For me I would love more adult themed/ post Hogwarts fics be that time travel or not. The idea of him going to different schools also appeals to me as it would allow you to really create a school something similar to how JKR created Hogwarts I would love to see what you would create.

Ondrej Mišo

I think what you wrote here is just fine, no need to expand on it. Thanks for the story, it was interesting if a bit long for the theme.

Jay Dakota West

I think my favorite one was The Winter King, the author for it is still active too. Which makes me sad he never finished it.

Sakkiko

... Infrequent reminder that you should please just write whatever the fuck you want, thanks. I think you wanted GoT, yes? So GoT. I want GoT

Hpfanboi

thanks for the comment no one asked for

He Of The Scales

What I would like is an expanded magical universe. Where we have the fae, old/elder gods, demons, fell things, other realms, magical beings like dwarves, elves etc. just more magic than the canon Hp universe. Things that go bump in the night. It could be a crossover with something else that has this aspect. Harry could be attending another school that teaches this as its not taught to the general public.

Cristobal Hernandez

Love all the works you make, but maybe show a little more of romance or the connections between the pairings you choose would be apreciated.

Reade1314

I would like more character development like your Tom Riddle is a bit bland in this fix even for a side character. Give him some real trauma!

Kev

Lee, you’re the only one who can pull off an adult/dark themed but amazingly written story similar to The Santi’s - Harry Potter & The Boy Who Lived, your own take on a different school story. Food for thought? I actually brought up this up 2 or so years ago, before Patreon. I'm not sure if you’ll remember, but I’m a huge fan of your writing and have been a Patreon since day 1! Also, it would be great to see a good Daphne pairing story, it’s all trash coming out nowadays. The only fan-fiction I read now is whatever you post on this site, nothing else compares with today’s new stories. I hope your mental health is well and things are looking up for you!

Brendan's Atlas

I'm salivating at the thought of a game of thrones crossover story by him

That Guy

Please no multi, ever. That’s for the horny creeps on ff.net. Other than that I’ll read pretty much whatever you come up with.

sedition

I think more expansion of magical lore which tied into creatures and other historical magical artifacts. If you’ve seen the story overlord recently that’s a good example. It can expand on most magics, doesn’t need to hit the rituals trope but I think something that really gets at the core of what happens behind the scenes to keep magic alive and what are the big powers in the world beyond just the dark wizards. If you haven’t read it, odyssey of a mage with that oc Atticus sayer is a good example To be honest one thing I would be ultra curious if you’d ever be interested in trying is a time travel Harry / fem riddle story. They seem to be gaining steam as interesting pairings and dynamics as well as lord of other factors of interest

shard

I would really like to see something like what Miranda Flairgold did with "A second chance at life", "Changes in a Time of War" and "A Magical World". Deeply flawed as the series is it does have very interesting ideas. Of course, I'm not suggested you copy anything but you are one of the few people in fanfiction that can pull something of as grand as what Miranda tried. As my voting suggests I would be very much interested in more adult themed content (though "When the Roses bloom again" pretty much involves what I had in mind) and Harry going to a different school with maybe some ideas taken from Mirandas Trilogy would be a story well worth a read

Sunny

Just wanted to say that while it's good to engage with us readers, you're the writer and it's your decision what the story should be about. All of your stories have been great, so I trust that whatever you'll write will be equally as good. Don't write things your not comfortable with.
