Thanks for your comment, FD. I know we are new "friends" and that you have many many readers interested in your work and your LJ (and I am one, of course). I appreciate that you've taken the time to read this.

I've plotted out most of this story. It will be H/D (sorry, Isis). The battle over the Manor is one of the major plots, and most of the story will be post-War.

And if I can stop reading other folks' way-interesting stories and LJ's and get cracking on my own stuff, I'll be that much further ahead!
