I'm TOTALLY psyched that you've started this story. I've just finished reading it and I can't wait to see you continue it I like the concept of Harry as a Hufflepuff and I think that you've placed him in a very interesting context. I will very much be looking towards your next chapter and seeing how his relationship with Hermione grows.

Good job

I really enjoyed this, this is the first PuffHarry that I have read and I look forward to more of it. I did go skim over the other stories and I have to say keep working on them all. I am going to go back and read them as well. Thanks for sharing your talent.

I really like the way you can write the same Harry that we all know and love and change some relatively small things to make him a different person. The Puff Harry is exactly what we would expect from a neglected childhood, without changing the key characteristics. As always, I am eagerly awaiting more of MEtyK and TMoF.

Very nice. I'm surprised this slipped past me for so long. You do a great job of showing a 'Different Harry' in terms of temperament and character as you do with many of your other fics. It's eerie how plausibly a different Vernon can change things... One often forgets the impact the Dursleys had on Harry beyond imparting cleaning skills and trauma.

The hard-work motif and ability to befriend people is very nifty, as is the way you showed the consequences of that ability... Opening yourself up for betrayal. As far as your work goes, I think you should write what your muse tells you to but try not to take on too many projects at once.

I do look forward to reading more. Kudos.

Hmmmm....
This one doesn't grab me like your others do. I'm not sure I can put my finger on why tho.

I do like the absence of Ron and Ginny, don't get me wrong. Maybe I'm not visualizing this Harry as clearly as I do your others.

So that being said, since you asked opinions on whether you should continue to spread your writing out among all of your WIP's or concentrate on one or a few, my vote would be concentrate on one or a few. IMO TMF is your best work, altho I do enjoy METYK and the Pale also (as you know). This is important, especially since your writing time is apparently so limited. Maybe concentrating on one fic and actually finishing it will help you feel your accomplishment.

I'll read whatever you write...

Errg, as much as I want to berate you for starting yet another story, I think I might just like this one best of all. Maybe not. It's hard to say.

This, like your other Hogwarts AU, does a superb job of staying away from canon in every way possible without damaging the...Harry Potterness of it.

Looking forward to more.

This was really great! Keep writing! It\'s nice to see something so imaginative and well written.

I'm confused why you are making so many changes. What is the purpose to changing who won previous years' house cups? Why does there seem to be such a tight relationship between Gryphendor and Hufflepuff? Change without purpose just confuses.
If there is a purpose, that is fine, but it should be revealed.

Great chapter!

Harry seems to become a strong and independent wizard: I like that

I'm already looking forward to your next Update!

very interesting story idea. you should finish meaning of father I like that the best

Victory through hard work! I like it.

With respect to your fics, I like TMF best so I\'d like you to focus on that. This one second I suppose.

Great Story! I like the subtle changes to the Dursleys to make Harry a 'puff. It'll be interesting to see your explanation for why the killing curse didn't bounce back (a graze maybe?)

Personally, I'd vote for you to finish MEtyK before the other stories. But, The Meaning of Father would be a very close second. However, if you can work quicker on multiple stories at once, that would have my vote.

My only complaint about multiple stories is that I tend to get a bit confused about the backgrounds, and wind up having to re-read most of them before I can look at the new chapter.

I really enjoy all of your stories and will continue to eagerly await any updates you make.

The story is excellent so far. Of course, I have yet to read one of your stories that I wouldn't say that about.

Specifically, I thought that your Dursleys were very well done. A family that just doesn't care about him one way or the other is a welcome change of pace from the beat-belittle-and-starve school of thought.

I would have liked to see more scenes with Quirrell, as I think the 'reveal' at the end would have had more impact if we'd seen more detail.

As to my preferences for your writing schedule? I'm going to dodge the question. Whatever works best for you. I want to see more of your work. If that means you work on one story start to finish, so be it. If that means you bounce around from story to story, again, so be it.

Looking forward to more. Of whatever comes next.

Yours, aye,

TOW, I'm really liking this. Your stuff is REALLY good. I like the fact that you have Harrys that aren't only in Gryffindor. It's especially cool that you have the different stories going on at the same time. When it comes to keeping the seperate stories updated or updating one then moving on, I'd say either way would be good. Personally, I'd prefer them to be updated as they come to you, not just one at a time. It's nice to get a new chapter for something once in a while, even if it means that the stories won't be finished for longer. keep up the great work!

Well it's a great start to what promises to be yet another fantastic story. I'm very impressed by all of your characterizations. You have a fantastic talent to make all of the characters so real...and yet they're different in every story. That's not easy to do, especially with how many stories you're juggling! (very impressive, that) I'm very excited to read more...and I'll try to review, but I always seem to end up more of a lurker because I can never think of anything constructive to say. As for your question on whether to focus on one story or just update what you can, when you can...I favor the latter. I get so wrapped up in the stories that I like to see them all updated. However, that being said...ultimately, I think you should do whatever is easiest for you. You can't please everyone...so do whatever will allow you to keep your sanity. ;-D Can't wait to read more of whatever it is you decide to update next! Thanks for sharing.
