Will you plz plz plz write an 8th year dramione fanfic someday?

With your marvelous writing style it would be soooooo fun and worth it

Have you ever given it any thought?

Ah thank you so much.

I haven’t thought about an 8th year a whole lot - but I think the hard row universe could use a Voldemort wins AU and an 8th year to really round it out- I just don’t know how I’d get there 😂

But maybe someday!

I just had to stop by (because, apparently, I’ve already gone to every social media platform to scream about how much I love this fic 🫣—I swear I'm not a stalker) to say, once again, how much I love and live this story. To the point that I’m seriously considering learning bookbinding just so I can have a physical copy 😭.

It’s one of my absolute favorites, and I genuinely don’t understand why more people aren’t talking about this masterpiece. Honestly, if you ever publish a book, can I start the fan club right now?

This fic found me at a really tough time in my life, and it helped me escape reality, even if just for a little while. I’ve already read it three times, and it’s officially my comfort fic.

I really hope you keep writing and sharing your amazing talent with us! 💜🌻

Ah wow. Thank you so much. I’m glad you found Hard Row when you did and I’m so happy it resonated with you/helped with distraction for a little while. And I hope things are going okay (or better yet, *well*), now.

What a wonderful thing to hear about something I wrote! Thank you for reaching out. And if I ever publish anything in a conventional sense, I’ll let you know ❤️

Thanks again for reading ❤️❤️❤️

Hello!!!!

I just wanted to say I absolutely devoured your fic, and i can't wait to do a re read of it soon. It was so good and kept my focus throughout the whole story!!!!

I also wanted to ask your policy on binding it for only personal use?? Is it ok?

Can't wait for your next amazing fic! 🥰

Thank you so much ❤️

Personal bindings are alright with me!

Thanks for reading!

Hi Blessdtoaster! I just finished AHRTH and absolutely loved it. I left a comment on Ao3 so I won’t reiterate all of my kudos here, but suffice to say, this is one of my all time favorites and I was beaming while reading it (except when I was cackling with laughter or crying). The humor, dialogue, suspense, and world building (with WI7 and evil Evangeline) were all wonderful to behold. Draco was a hoot and a BAMF. His banter (and texts!) with Healer Lethe was a highlight. My question is hopefully not a silly one, but did you ever explain the title’s origin? I enjoyed all your end-notes and insights into chapter titles, etc., but don’t recall seeing anything about the title. Just wondering if there’s any specific significance. Please, please keep writing. You are a masterful writer and storyteller. Thank you for sharing AHRTH with us.

Hello!

The saying itself I heard for the first time probably 10 or 15 years ago, but right before I was ready to post the first two chapters, I still didn’t have a title (which is quite unlike me). I was writing out some Healer Lethe dialogue in chapter three and she was talking about how something must’ve been difficult- and I had her say “well that’s a hard row to hoe indeed”… I stopped and thought - hmm… that would be pretty good.

I liked the rhyme and alliteration of it, and I thought it fit with Malfoy’s journey of redemption in particular.

So I changed what she said (I don’t love it when the title is hidden in the narrative haha) - searched the title to make sure another Dramione wasn’t named the same, and then went on my merry way!

The file on my computer is still named “gpb dm hg”, though, which (rather unromantically) stands for “Grosse Pointe Blank Draco Malfoy Hermione Granger”.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for reading Hard Row; it consumed a decent part of my 2024 and it feels really lovely to know that someone enjoyed it.

Next one (The Devil Works Hard) is currently being plotted ❤️

Except now that I put it on the calendar I have realized what exactly it means in this the year of our lord two thousand and twenty five and I will not be celebrating.

Here’s to 1/20/26!

No question, just praise. I'm rereading (2nd time) AHRTH and currently at chapter 23. Of the Top 10 Dramione fics I've read in the past few years, you have managed to write sex the best. Not a bit raunchy, obscene, or vulgar! Not bland, sugar-coated, Sunday School approved(‽) innuendo either! Simply fantastic, So Many thanks! Truly artful IMHO. Of course I'm an 80's child and a big fan of Grosse Point Blank, so the story is brilliant too. 19¾/10 WILL be rereading again! Bonus? You only write "cunt" in reference to the crazy one that needs unaliving. REALLY appreciate that! Thank you and all the best to you.

Hey thanks so much. It was my first non “fade to black” scenario - I was very nervous about it when I first posted, so it’s nice to hear that it hit the mark with people and didn’t either reveal my own nerves or go to a place that didn’t fit these particular characters. Thank you for reading, I’m so glad you enjoyed and I appreciate you reaching out ❤️
