I've been thinking for a while of going back and doing an alternate version of A Friend in Need that stays just Harry/Tonks, but I'd like to know what all of you think. If I do rewrite it, it will be after the current version is finished. Should I write it, or move on to other stories. I still need to rewrite The Surrogate because I'm not happy with the original, and I have a ton of new ideas that I want to work on as well. Let me know what you think.

I loved a friend in need as just harry and tonks, I still love it but think their pairing in this is better on its own

I wish there was an option that wasn't strictly Harry/Tonks, but did reduce the bloat a bit. Normally like Harry/Amelia, but it felt a bit too much for this story with all the was set up.

Lord Terra

I personally don’t mind whatever you choose to do because although I like it when everyone gets some love in your stories, Harry/Tonks is one of my favourite parings for a reason so I’m fine either way.

Faraxsis89

The surrogate, is one of my all time favourite of your stories and the way you were going was great. But a rewrite could be fun.

Erinnyes

For at least myself, I think Friend in Need is, if not perfect, truly exceptional. A rewritten version with only Tonks wouldn't be as impactful because the original would cast a shadow over it. If you wanted to do a different story which is purely Harry/Tonks, I'd be 100% here for it though!

Luca D'Alessandro

I understand your hamletic doubts, they're common to every writer :) don't be too hard on yourself and your work, you're great. In my opinion, you should focus on new stories or develop the ones who need closure.

I am genuinely enjoying a friend in need as it is. I think its one of my favorite stories going on.

Pancor

I think I would personally prefer a new story that was focused on Harry/Tonks if you felt the need over rehashing A Friend In Need

More Harmony. More!!!

I like "A Friend in Need" as it is but only with Tonks ist good with me as well. As for what to focus on I would like something witch you like and enjoy writing as that leads to the best results and I don't have a particular favourite.

I think what might help you out here is that the things you write to enjoy and the things you write for your patrons need to be strictly kept apart. Have a few stories that you love love to write that's more for you than the patrons. Then the patron stories for them. You write well enough you'll have interest on the stories you really enjoy writing and everyone else still has their staples (friend in need/thrown back). A friend in need would need to be totally restructured to have a single pairing make sense.

I really do love the Harry/Tonks ship. While sad to see the story get stopped, can’t wait for what you make next. I really do like harem stories but I agree with the earlier comments where it felt like it was getting too big.

WzHr

Oh sweet. Misread the poll then sorry!

DragonsAndBroomsticks

You know, a story with only Harry/Lily would be great, one where she's actually older. Maybe with alternate universes or something similar? Please do think about it, okay?

Season

Finish stories, and write new ones. If you need to revisit and fix something that nags at you sure, but overall rewriting is not new, and the only thing is does is drag you down with perceived failures. The stories need to fly free from the nest and find their way, flawed or not.

While I personally don’t care for the Harry/Tonks stories, I know some people love them. In the end I would say if it gives you enjoyment and helps spark your creative flow than go for it. I have enough stories that I do like to keep myself happy

Robert

I always wanted Surrogate to continue, really loved that concept and that it felt like a real connection was forming between the two outside of the great smut that was written. It probably also helped that the whole Remus/Tonks pairing just doesn’t feel right and him trying to abandon her in DH forever puts him on the shit list I think you could make a great solo pairing with Harry/Tonks centered around the journal reveal from The Surrogate

Matt

I definitely enjoyed a friend in need when it was just harry/tonks much more, I even didn't mind fleur because the connection she had with Harry was great. Hermione though is where I started to enjoy less because then it felt more harem. Still a good story though. The surrogate is one of my all time favorites and I would love 2 see more. I always kind of hoped that she would reveal that she was lying about being with Remus because she was too scared to admit she liked Harry, that would have been a good way to have it be a singular less drama free Harry/tonks story

Hometown

Personally i think it should have stayed only Tonks. It felt more natural. At most maybe Fleur. But after that it became too much and diluted it all

Shepard

I liked it better when it was just Tonks. Fleur was ok but was I was "Meh" about it but Hermione is where I was like nope. Just another Harem story.

J.Rogue

Any, all, just keep writing and I’ll keep reading.

DyslexicdraB

I really enjoyed the surrogate, and was interested in the Remus subplot and how that would work out. Would he confront Harry when she left him, would she stay in an unhappy relationship cause it was expecte, etc. whenever you get the chance I would really enjoy seeing this again

Captain Hair

I liked A Friend in Need when it was only Harry/Tonks, but as far as I'm concerned that ship has sailed. I'd say, rather than finishing it and then just rewriting it, finish it and then start another different story with the basic "Harry gains independence through Tonks" premise. Sirius figuring out a way to have Tonks train Harry during the tournament as an example.

Stonebrow

I’d move on for now. You can always come back to rewriting friend in need later. It’s not going anywhere. You might find that with distance, you want to change it even more.

Xavcanral

Pandoras Box Year 2 would be pretty cool tbh

noru

You have no idea how desperately I want that rewrite (willing to commit multiple crimes of varying severity) but in the end its your.

Shirosaki Ibara

I became a subscriber to get chapters for a friend in need as early as I could. Personally, I don’t want the story to end.

Stormfox2

For me a different Honks story would be nicer. Having a new project

Coady

It may have gotten away from you, but I was enjoying "A Friend in Need". I was looking forward to seeing how Harry and Tonks, along with their girlfriends, were going to end Moldyshorts.
