Re: MD&DC

You're most welcome! Having become somewhat accustomed to dual-POV epics from you recently, it was both charming and refreshing to see this exclusively from Harry's POV.

As you say, the future, post-fic is still quite open and thus a sequel would be most welcome. I, however, shall not beg, plead, or otherwise cajole, as I'm well aware of some of the many pre-production works you (hopefully) have in store for us ;-} I cannot begin to imagine the spreadsheet (or whatever organizational structure) you have to keep all these ideas in check!

I think the realism of post-war trauma is easy to understand, but much harder to portray, in general. I like FourthRose's Not in the Hand of Boys for that reason (amongst many others) precisely because it does not attempt to sugar-coat the impact (and it hasn't even begun shipping H/D 28 chapters in).

Have you ever considered doing either out takes, and/or time-stamp type one-shots. Some that I recall done particularly well include Anna Fugazzi's and the aforementioned FR's Seven Days in June, et al. (I know there are others, but I'm drawing a blank here)? I ask out of curiosity, obviously not to add to your work/play load ;-}
