Poll Results and SOW's Future

Welcome to a new post, hope y'all are having a wonderful day!

So the last poll for SOW was on the topic of what exactly are you all most excited to see next.

• Smut (R-18 Scenes): 63
• Harry's relationship with his chosen partners: 60
• Just Harry being an utter badass: 36
• Harry becoming Stronger: 28
• Tri-Wizard Cup: 17
• Slytherin Politics: 9
• Britain's Politics and preparation for the upcoming war: 6
• Grindelwald's plot: 5
• Jacob's plot: 3

....And I'm not surprised to see smut top the list. Though I am glad that it did; along with Harry's relationship. Both of these things you're going to get in the next chapter.

I've also got some solid feedback from you all; thnx for that. I think one thing almost everyone wants to see, including me, is Harry's relationships finally progressing past the introduction level. But the problem with that is, I can't concentrate on more than a single relationship in one chapter (if I want it to be deep and satisfying). So while I want to show a lot of things, I'm going to take it slow and patient, tackling one relationship at a time while also including some other things; like showing what's happening in the world at large etc.

Man I have so many exciting ideas for this fic! I was honestly a jumbled mess before this Poll, cause I couldn't quite decide what to prioritize first. Well, now I do.

Also, action is going to take a back seat for the next few chapters, hope no one minds. Harry is going to go through a massive learning curve soon, but the story will be shouldered by his relationships with his partners (and Smut, with other females as well), the overarching plot, and the preparations for war. All the options that I'd given will be getting some focus on them; though the main constant ones will be the first four of the voted list.

Now, I have a little question for you all. I'm not making a poll for this (unless I get no response) so pls do let me know in the comments: Would you like to see the original Triwizard tournament, or an entirely new format?

Personally, I'm a little bored of the original one but there's a reason it always works out. And considering it's not gonna be the main focus for this fic, I'm a little hesitant in putting extra work in it. So let me know your thoughts!

Last, you may have seen the pic above? It's my new and official Fleur Delacour. I found the original one lacking compared to all the other character images, so this is the one I'm now going with; and shall imagine when writing the scenes. Thank Lord Shiva for finding it (my friend, not god).

Well, that was all for today's post. Do let me know your thoughts, and I'll see you all tomorrow.

Take care and peace!
