Story Poll
🕑 Added 2023-10-03 18:18:05 +0000 UTCHello! I'm finally feeling better, and I've decided to start a new story to hopefully gain back some of the patrons I lost from being sick. There are two choices for this poll. Option 1, I can do a rewrite of The Surrogate - A Harry/Tonks story, you can still read the original here if you wan to see what it's about. This will be a shorter story, probably 5-6 chapters long. Option 2 is a whole new story called The Hero They Needed. This is an anti-hero Harry who grows up in America with Sirius and the Tonks'. Below is the Story Idea post I made a couple of days ago to give you a better idea of what it's about.
So, I've been working on this idea of an Americanized, anti-hero Harry coming to Hogwarts during the Triwizard Tournament. School starts at 18 in both England and America. After James and Lily are killed, Sirius arrives first and takes Harry away after a brief argument with Hagrid. He flees to Andromeda's house, where he begins to panic. Everyone thinks he was the Potters secret keeper and Pettigrew is no where to be seen. Andromeda calms him down and start to come up with different plans, one of which being going to America. By the next morning, Aurors are already looking for Sirius. When night falls and they hear the news about the Longbottoms, Andromeda and Ted make a decision. In the dead of night, they pack up and flee to America with Tonks and Harry.
Years later, Harry has grown up in Nevada. Growing up close to Tonks and with Sirius as his guardian he grows up much different than canon. At heart, he's a good person, but he's not above getting his hands dirty to get the job done. He's well liked among most of his peers, popular, and ridiculously good at magic. Despite Andi's best efforts, he's also a shameless rogue with a penchant for bedding witches, including her daughter.
At the start of his fourth year, they get bad news from the morning paper. Harry's name has come out of the Goblet of Fire, and he has no choice but to compete or lose his magic. Reluctantly, the family packs up to head home to Britain. Luckily, Newly minted Auror Tonks is tasked with keeping an eye on things and sending updates back to the American government.
Will Hogwarts be able to survive a cool, confident Harry with a no fucks given attitude? Or, perhaps the better question, how long until he kills Malfoy?
So, those are your two choices that you can vote for down below. The Surrogate will be more smut focused with some story, while The Hero They Needed will be a bit more story and a bit less smut, but much longer. I'll still be continuing 30 Days, A Friend in Need, and Thrown Back as usual, though 30 Days is nearing its end. As always, thanks to everyone who stuck around while I was dealing with my health issues, and feel free to let me know what you think in the comments. Take care everyone!

I'm little wary about the new story turning into a super harem but it has a cool premise and they're both Honks so I can't complain, so it has my vote

While I like the background story of "The Hero They Needed", I really hate the Goblet of Fire forced magical contract bullshit. If that worked it could be used to get rid of all known criminals and other countries would be up in arms to make britain get rid of it out of fear that it might be used to practically enslave those other countries' government leaders. I would prefer Harry joining the tournament willingly to test himself or to show off and pick up foreign witches.

The hero they needed. Also if its gonna be a harem it would be cool if you included an OC from america

Glad you are feeling better! Can’t wait for more from one of my favourite fanfic writers! Love the idea of an Americanised Harry “time kick ass n chew gum just all outa gum!”

Anti Hero Harry sounds so good
Michael Guidebeck
I always like your stories with significant plot.

Welcome back.

If you plan on eventually getting around to The Surrogate, I definitely vote for The Hero They Needed. I'm a giant sucker for a Harry who just doesn't give a shit what people think, and gets shit done. Powerful Chaotic-Good Harry is best Harry.
Professor Quill
I didn't want people to vote on both this time around. I will get to whichever one doesn't win fairly soon.

Also very happy to hear you are doing better.

I think there is a problem with the poll. It is only letting me select one of the options.

Is the Hero going to be a Honks?

The Hero they need sound interesting, Harry could be in hiding in one of the smaller schools (or be homeschooled) and when the goblet give his name (maybe some DA learn were he was and take a sample of is written name and put it in the goblet to force him out) and Harry feel the contract being made and have to return to England. Just hope the school and the other characters could survive w/o him the first 3 years (Hermione, Hagrid, Buckwick, Lupin, etc.)

"The hero they needed" sounds like an absolute blast. It's just so ripe for a sprinkling of crack alongside an actiony plot I *so* hope it wins. That said, I'm glad you're feeling better, Quill! Hope the trend continues, and looking forward to more of your writing!

Glad you are feeling better! Either story I would be interested to read but the American Harry one sounds like the more interesting choice.

Glad to hear you've bounced back Quill.
