Hello there, fellow reader, writers, and authors of FanFiction. It DetectiveFox here.
I know most of you have been complaining that I haven't updated this story in a long time, or asking if I have just abandoned or forgotten about this story.
The truth is, I haven't forgotten or abandoned it. Its more the fact that, from rereading the chapters I have written and posted so far, I had stupidly pushed myself into a writer's block corner.
The main areas for being pushed in the corner was the character development, as I really did give some of the characters stupid OOC personalities, which creates unwanted conflicts.
Then there was the speed of the chapters, as I have tried to speed up to the first events of A's, I've made stupid mistakes that either don't make sense or I've removed a plot item which has thrown the balance of the story.
It is for these reasons that I am going to rewrite this story.
Before you complain, if you carefully reread through the past chapters, you will see the mistakes I have made that has pushed me into a corner. Don't fear, I'm not going to take this story down. No, this will remain up as the 'original' version.
For those of you wondering about what changes are going to be made, they are listed below.
These elements are not being changed in the rewrite:
=Harry is the master of the Book of Darkness, Tome of the Night Sky, and the Wolkenritter.
=The events of A's will be taking place during the Christmas time of his first year at Hogwarts.
=Shamal will become the new Muggle Studies Professor and Signum will become the new Discipline Head. Vita will be posing has Harry's adopted younger, same age, sister and Zafira as his 'accidental' summon familiar.
=If Reinforce Eins survives or not, will be left blank as not to ruin it.
=Supportive/Grandfather-like Dumbledore.
=Through Harry's doctor, Doctor Astra, and Hayate's adoptive mother, Doctor Sachie Ishida. As the two doctors were very close friends and Sachie is an expert when it comes to nerve paralysis, the two kids are introduced to one another over the phone. Prompting Harry to learn Japanese and Hayate to learn English.
These elements that are also staying, but have been altered:
=The Jewel Seed arc took place in Japan when Nanoha was nine. A year later Fate was put on a year of probation, due to her part in the Jewel Seed incident, under Lindy care as they stay on Earth. Nanoha also joins the TSAB that year.
Come the next year, when the event of A's takes place, the two will have some TSAB background and experience to their names. They are now, also, the same age as Harry instead of being a year apart. For those wondering, the incident with Nanoha's injury will take place in the following year.
=Hayate is at the same school as Nanoha and her friends, while she isn't close with Nanoha or Arisa, she is close friends with Suzuka due to their love of books.
=Dumbledore will confront the Wolkenritter about their true identities, just not until after the A's incident.
=The parasite scar won't be removed, until December during his first year, just prior to the A's incident.
With that said and done, this is the part where I would like your thoughts, opinions, and constructive feedback with the changes that I have made.
Below are changes to which I would like to know what you think, this is my first story and I really want to make it a great one. Not something just to be left to the side and abandoned because I ended up pushing myself into a corner with no way to continue it.
Please look at each one closely, as I would like to know your thoughts.
The First Change falls with being the whole, who is the Wrong-Boy-Who-Lived?
The main reason I'm keeping this theme in the story, is because if Harry was seen as the Boy-Who-Lived, to many purebloods would be questioning who his knights are. As they would know James Potter had no siblings or cousins.
So the first option is to keep it as it is. James Potter living, tossing Harry aside because he believed he was a squib and doting all his time on Michael.
The second option, is to let James Potter die alongside his wife on that night. Instead, Neville Longbottom is named the Boy-Who-Live. The using the fame corrupts theme, Alice takes her godson in for the publicity, but the moment they are out of the camera sight, they dump him on the steps of his mother's sisters home.
The reason Dumbledore doesn't stop her, is one he doesn't know. Second, is because he is also trying to aid Sirius Black, who was thrown into Azkaban. However, the Death Eaters that escaped with bribes, have gained high positions and are blocking his every move.
Thoughts and comments? As while I like sticking with the theme I have, I have been finding it hard to keep writing James and Michael out with the personalities I've given them, which is one of the main factors pushing me back into the corner.
The Second Change comes in the shape of the character interaction. As I've focused so much on Harry, that I have given little to no character development to the Wolkenritter or HP cast members.
The mainly look at this is:
Should I show Harry interacting with the Liese twins, before they leave and the Wolkenritter take their place? Or keep it at the normal pace, like at the start of this story where he mentions them thinking of the past.
Should I show more interaction between Harry and Wolkenritter, in the year between Harry's tenth, when their released, and eleventh birthday? So instead of just one chapter, give it two, showing Harry interacting with each guardian instead of just saying it. Plus slowly showing the fall of the Dursley's instead of just dumping it all on at once.
At the same time, should I show more interaction between the Wolkenritter, as they explore the new world that their master lives in? As while I have shown some interaction with them and their master, the only time they've talked to one another was briefly shown bar when they start the hunt for the cores.
Plus should I show more interaction, phone calls and email than later Owl Mail, between Harry and Hayate to help so the friendship that has been formed between the two of them? As Hayate will be playing a role in Harry's life, so I though show some interaction, then just having her appear and leave you all confused about how close friends they are.
Then the interaction between Harry and his Wolkenritter, with the HP Students and Staff at Hogwarts?
The Final Change comes in just outright asking you, the readers, for Constructive Feedback.
Are there moments, in the previous chapters of this story, that you didn't understand and wished to be explained more? Are there moments that didn't really need a lot of explanation to it? Anything thing at all, just let me know.
I wish to make this a great story as it is my first story. Again, this will not be taken down, as it will be a reminder to me. While I know this is my story, I would like to hear your thoughts and opinions as a writer, so I can improve it.
I am really sorry if you were hoping for a chapter update.
Please let me know you thoughts, you can send them by review, or PM if you want. Thank you all so much for the support my first story had received.
If all works well, with this constructive feedback, the first chapter of this being rewritten should be up on New Year's Day.
