Story Idea Poll
🕑 Added 2024-02-08 15:04:05 +0000 UTCI've kind of run into a wall with Dorm Party, so I've decided to move on for the time being. All of these story ideas are designed to be 5-10 chapters long at most. I went back to look at my old Story Ideas posts and these are my favorite ideas that I haven't started yet. These polls are a great way for me to gauge how much interest there is in certain ideas. Vote for which ever stories you'd like to read, and feel free to give me feedback and criticism in the comments.
The Unfortunate Incident
5th year has been tough for Harry. Half the school thinks he's lying, Hermione wants him to start an illegal club to teach everyone Defense, and Neville won't shut up about the new plant Luna had gotten him for Christmas. Especially not since it had sprayed him with some kind of sap when he showed it to him.
Now, things are about to get even more interesting. Ever since then, girls have started taken an unnatural interest in him. It wasn't so bad at first, when it was girls like Lavender Brown and Susan Bones. But, when Millicent Bulstrode, Madam Pince, and even Delores Umbridge start making passes at him, he's ready to admit things have officially gotten out of hand.
Naturally, Harry goes to Hermione for help. Unfortunately, even she's affected, and more interested in what she can learn than finding a cure. And sure, it's fun, but he can't live the rest of his life shagging several girls a day while desperately trying to dodge the ones he finds less than desirable. Maybe he should ask Luna for help.
Just a fun little comedy/smut story idea. I wouldn't do any scenes with women like Umbridge, but I think it would be funny for Harry to have to constantly avoid her outside of class. Maybe I can even throw in a couple of the professors and Madam Rosmerta to spice things up. Let me know what you think in the comments.
Back to the Beginning
Aged up sixth year. While Harry is exploring the Room of Requirement, he discovers and accidentally breaks a Time-Turner, sending him back to the time of the Founders. Nothing is like what he expected. Gryffindor is a loud, obnoxious ass. Ravenclaw is cold and calculating. Hufflepuff is kind, but runs a school brothel. And Harry finds a friend and mentor in Salazar Slytherin?
I've mentioned Ravenclaws Coven in Dorm Party, and I thought of this as an opportunity to explore the origins of that. Harry, as a mysterious figure from the future, is of a lot of interest to the founders and the students. Ravenclaw wants him to help produce powerful children that will benefit the magical world for generations to come. Hufflepuff sees him as a broken soul she needs to heal through love. Gryffindor's daughters are fascinated by his tales of heroism. And the Slytherin witches see him as the future of their world, and want to solidify a connection with him.
Can Harry find a way back home before he changes too much?
A Little on the Side (Working Title)
A couple of years after graduating Hogwarts, Harry is working as an Auror and Hermione is a junior researcher in the DoM. Occupied with their careers and still healing from the scars left by the war, neither is in a relationship. After an accident at work, Hermione is injured and forced to spent a month recovering. Harry offers to help, and moves in with her to take care of her needs while she heals.
They're only living together for a couple of days when Hermione makes a startling confession. Since work at the Ministry doesn't pay much, and she needed money to fund the bills she'd put forth in the Wizengamot, Hermione has been offering her services as a dominatrix to other women. Now that she's injured, she asks Harry to step in for her so she doesn't lose her clients.
Possible characters to involve; Susan Bones, Lilith Moon, Apolline Delacour, Daphne Greengrass, and Lavender Brown. If you have other witches or specific scenes, feel free to let me know in the comments. Or a better idea for a title.
Lucinda's
A few years after Hogwarts, Hermione and Ron get divorced. A few days after the papers are signed, Hermione overhears a couple of her co workers at the Ministry talking about.
"Granger's such a ball breaker, I'm not surprised they got divorced."
"Weasley said she was pretty boring in bed."
"She's hot, though. Did you see those pictures he sold to Lucinda's?"
Furious, Hermione leaves and Apparates straight to Lucinda's, a shop in Diagon Alley specializing in adult material. Striding into the store, she ignores the posters of barely dressed witches and wizards waving at her, and the phalic shaped objects littering the shelves, and strides to the counter. She stops in front of a tall, beautiful brunette wearing a tight leather corset and skirt, prominently displaying her hourglass figure.
When Hermione demands to know what pictures her ex-husband had sold, she's told that Harry already requested they be taken down. Quickly, she learns that Harry is a regular customer there, though Lucinda refuses to give her any specifics, and that her husband had sold the pictures for 500 Galleons. Lucinda explains that men often bring in pictures of their wives and post them as a way of showing off. The shop keeper hadn't known that Hermione and Ron had divorced, or she never would've allowed the pictures to be posted. Hermione leaves the shop feeling mixed emotion. She wondered why Harry would regularly go to that kind of shop, and what the hell Ron was thinking.
Hermione goes on to confront Ron, learning that he's back to his old habits of betting money he can't afford to lose on Quidditch. After threatening to castrate him if he ever sells pictures of her again, she leaves to talk to Harry. He explains that he still has PTSD from the war, and goes to Lucinda's to unwind. Hermione begs for details, but he refuses to give them to her, saying that she wouldn't understand.
Over the next few days, Hermione's curiosity eats away at her until she decides to go back to the shop. She wants to know what Harry is doing, both because she's worried about him, and disturbingly, the thoughts running through her head arose her.
So, essentially, this story focuses on Hermione and her sexual awakening after a bitter divorce. She'd go on to follow Harry and befriend Lucinda, eventually watching him in the midst of numerous sexual acts with a variety of women. Right now, I'm working out exactly what those acts would be , who they would be with, and how Hermione will eventually get involved. I'd appreciate some feed back on this one.
From the Ashes
Harry/Bellatrix
After the Battle of Hogwarts, Bellatrix is found alive, but severely injured. While her injuries aren't life threatening, she has no memory of who she is. Due to a few old laws, she can't be held responsible for crimes she can't remember. Unable to be prosecuted, and still considered too dangerous to be released on her own, the Wizengamot asks Harry to look after her. He initially refuses, but when he moves in to live with Andromeda to help take care of Teddy, she eventually convinces him to help he sister.
With no memories of her terrible past, Andromeda uses the opportunity to help Bellatrix become the witch she would've been without Voldemort's influence. Even though she grows to be a much kinder, gentler woman, she still keeps the core parts of her personality. Namely her obsessive tendencies and her willingness to take what she wants. A relationship that starts with Bellatrix sneaking into Harry's room and riding him for all she's worth quickly grows into something much more meaningful.
When Bellatrix starts to learn about her old life through her dreams, will she fall back into her old ways, or will she embrace her new life?
A more serious story, but potentially interesting.

I cast my votes, and yeah, something new is exciting, but I still feel compelled to make my regular plea to not abandon my existing faves, "A Friend In Need," "The Hero They Needed," and especially "Thrown Back." Sorry if that makes me a broken record, but they're all such good stories, I am interested to see what happens next. :)
Rival
Hah, something along the line of " shit, not again" . However, he would find immense relief in that not every day is like the Groundhog Day movie.
Luca Ancona
If you do do An Unfortunate Incident it would be awesome if it worked as a sequel to Forever In A Day
V_Arko
Number 1 all the way
Peter Howe
1, 4, and 5 are vibing towards me. I like em
MasterKronus
I'm definitely vibing with 3 of these.
Cateagle
My choices are "The Unfortunate Incidnt", "A Little on the Side" (be amusing if Harry turns out to be very, very good as a dom - hot, too), and "Lucinda's". WIth "Lucinda's", I rather like SharpShooter345's idea.
Dr.Scribe
That will always be a persistent pairing because so close to being canon and way better than Ron/Harmony. When I get burnt out on that pairing though I can still be chill with where she is more of a satellite to the main pairing. Think Similar to 30 days or others
Stormfox2
Please nothing Harmony, burnt out with the pairing currently
SharpShooter345
Lucindas could also have an alternate story where while hermione is looking around the store, she ends up shackled into a bondage rig that strips her and is at the mercy of the shop keeper who trains her to be a good little slave, and eventually Harry comes in and samples a hooded and gagged hermione. Maybe the rig could have potions that it that will accentuate her figure and make her produce milk? Idk just a thought when I read that story.
Alatoic
definitely The Unfortunate Incident. as second option (or later on) A Little on the Side (Working Title) and Lucinda's. And yes a 6/10 chapter stories are better in this premises as it can move faster, unless you will cover other years also.
DyslexicdraB
The unfortunate incident and back to the beginning both sound amazing and I would love to read both of them
Rotaugur
Is there the possebility to have a story only with uncommon pairings and even a bit of bashing? I mean Harry is in like 80% of all straight stories with eather Hermione, Fleur, Daphne, Tonks or Luna, and of the rest most with Susan,Hanna, Bellatrix or Nacissa. I would like to see som stories with partners like for example the Carrow twins, Su/Sue Li , the Pattil twins, or a half feral wererwolf Lavender Brown. And Please not another story where Hermione is said to be the most intelegent witch. If you are realistic then her future is going to be a bad one with all of her bad habbits and ignorance of anything that does not fit into her world view. ( House elves have to be free, bloodstatus ist not important in a subculture where every important political decision is made by purebloods, all information have to be shared( even family secrets), books don´t lie ,to name a few)
TheMightyClark
Definitely anything that doesn't involve Hermione. Super burnt out on anything harmony related.
Daeron Targaryen
As for Dorm Party, you just contiue with the girls building the relationships... then branching out with Harry getting into politics, maybe have him take a vacation with the girls.
Professor Quill
Are you sure you didn't read it here when I first posted it months ago?
Killian_Jones_Hook
I don’t want to sound like I’m accusing of anything but I feel like I have read that exact story about Hermione and Ron getting divorced and Ron selling her pictures before. Even down to the place he sold them being called Lucinda’s iirc. Though to be fair that last bit could just be because Lucinda’s feels like a semi-common name for a sex store in fics in the fandom.
HowlerAtTheMoon
Harry/Bellatrix I always like the way you write redemption/reformation of characters
Pancor
I'm really glad we got what we did for Dorm Party, it was great! I think that if you want to revisit it in the future, framing the new stuff as "What if?" spinoffs could help free up some creative space. "Dorm Party Gaiden: Hufflesluts" or something like that 😅. As for the list here, I think the one that draws me the most is Lucinda's, but The Unfortunate Incident sounds like a fun romp too.
Captain Hair
Gotta go with none of the above. A Harry/Luna fic would be nice but that's not what the first one is and I can't get into the premise. The others.... no interest at all.
Joe Matt
When i first saw the dominatrix hermione story i thought oh crap harrys gonna ask her to dom him for money. Then saw that she was for women and thought oh...interesting.Back to the beginning sounds like a new and interesting concept though.
Ali G
Damn is there an all of the above option xD
Dr.Scribe
Back to the beginning and side work almost got my vote. Really wish Pareon and SS would do ranked polls lol :)
orthodox1057
None for me. Too much Hermione. Though I suppose the founders' time sounds interesting.
Professor Quill
you can vote for more than one
Mike
Wish I had 2 votes. I like "Back to the Beginning" and "From the Ashes" but Back won out in the end.
Professor Quill
Unfortunately, I can't write that fast, lol.
Mitch McConeghey
All interesting concepts, but when given a prompt that involves dominatrix Hermione I can't not vote for it
Nick_Fel
All of them? Honestly.
John7799
Please vote back to the beginning, and quill please write ba k to the beginning, the rest seem like 12 chapters sorry and this one could go far
