AH! Okay, I'm going to stop making promises I can't keep. The fact of the matter is that real life is really hectic and unpredictable for me right now, so I can't justify making any promises about exactly when any of my stories will be updated, but can only promise that I will continue working on them and will update whenever possible.
Current readers will notice that the poll on my profile page is now closed, with just the final results displayed, as my decision has been made. I now have THREE stories being written concurrently, each exploring a different relationship between Harry and Voldemort. In order to help you all know which ones you want to read, I am including an easy reference guide, going by title:
Desperate Measures: This is the slash version. It's the same basic plot idea as v2, but the difference in relationship has a somewhat large effect on the story and its characters. Description: Giving up hope that Dumbledore will help with the abuse at the Dursley's, a desperate Harry flees to the only person he knows will not send him back, Voldemort.
The relationship included will be LV/HP in a bit of a Dom/Sub type of deal. Voldemort will care about Harry but, in typical Dark Lord fashion, will want to feel he is more powerful. Therefore, he will take charge between them, but at the same time Harry will be able to convince him of pretty much anything, if that makes sense. Chapters and slash scenes will be clearly labeled, so explicit scenes that do anything more than slightly suggest something will be able to be skipped if you wish.
Desperate Measures v2: This is the clean version of the above story. Up until this author's note, they are identical, but there will be small differences between the two starting with the next chapter. After a few more chapters, the differences will begin to become much larger.
The relationship between Harry and Voldemort in this one will be more of a mentor-like or paternal role on Voldemort's part. It's a strange sort of friendship, with Voldemort being someone Harry starts to respect and willingly follow and take advice from.
To Err is Human: This story will be semi-clean. Description: Abandoned by his friends and imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit, Harry is rescued by an extremely unlikely person. What happens next?
The relationship between them in this one will pretty much be equivalent to that between a master and a high ranking servant. Voldemort IS a Dark Lord, and Harry willingly follows him, with everything that goes with it. But, things are a bit more complicated between them than that, thus earning the semi-clean label. Let's just say it's safe for you to read, no matter your feelings about slash, but I felt safer labeling it semi-clean.
There, now you should have a pretty good idea of which of my current Harry Potter stories would be to your taste. Hopefully this'll cut down on any issues or complaints later. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact me, and I'll be happy to answer them. I'll update whenever I can, but needless to say with real life being so hectic and three stories to worry about at once, it'll be rather erratic. Thank you for your patience.
