First of all Happy New Year, may it be joyous, happy, successful and full of love, smiles and rainbows.
Now, I've read most of your work even if I am not very good when it comes to commenting (maybe one of my New Year resolutions should be along that line - give people their due applause) and I have to say that your imagination is absolutely beautiful.
You hooked me with AYT, to the point that I read it as a WiP which I generally avoid for the same reasons you do, and at that time I had no information on your updating habits. Then it was all downhill, I had to read whatever you posted. And no, sadly I haven't read all yet (or is this luckily, for this means I have some more to enjoy and anticipate), since Nov and Dec were so packed for me I couldn't even find time for myself. I only managed to read the second Frame of Mind story a few days ago. I was of course completely stunned by how good it was. And when I read IGYaWM after that I was even more impressed. I loved the way you spun the plot and how you solved it all.
I can't believe you managed to write so much in a few short months. I am too lazy and unorganised to achieve even a fraction of that myslef, so I admire you all the more.
As far as your future plans. I am great fan of courting fics, so I am looking forward to the fic you are planning. And if you are wondering what other cliches you can explore, there are: * the already mentioned potions/spells gone wrong; * the forced marriage/bonding, or the accidental/done by someone else for their own nefarious purposes bonding; * then there're the more intricate pleasures of slavery and D/s (I mean can you imagine the impact of Harry as Draco's sub/slave in the light of the expectations for Harry and the prejudices against DEs in the post-war Wizarding world).
I have to admit that I enjoy bottom!Harry and I'll be looking forward to more of those from you. Of course, if that works for the plots you have in mind.
And it will be quite interesting if you tried your quill in a EWE where one/both of Harry and/or Draco had fled the Wizarding world and live as Muggles. Why? What prompted the choice? And so on.
Which reminds me, that I am curious what's your RL occupation or university major or whatever, since you have great hits on the psychology and motivation of your characters.
The Albus Severus/Scorpius pairing that sprung from the last book, I find a bit too much after Harry/Draco and it really seems that as you said, they lack any character apart from being their parents' facsimiles, which is quite sad. I'm curious how you'll work around that. But time will show.
Oh, this turned long and maybe a bit too demanding, not to mention quite incoherent and jumping from one thought to another at random, which is not my aim at all. Anyway. I prefer to read and be surprised, which is why I never gave you a prompt.
I wish you to continue to have fun with your imagination and give us, your reader, more to enjoy.
