And Secondly, HP questions here! (Patreon)

Same deal as the other questions thread folks. If you have HP specific questions– they don’t have to be specific to a story – post them here. If you have questions like ‘what do you think about this anime/show’ post them wherever, although realize I don’t watch much beyond completed anime seasons and some historical shows.
Before my own questions though, I will share again my answer to the question I was recently asked about which fics I’d start up when ATP/FILFycome to an end:
That is easy: GDWHOM once FILFy finishes. I would hope that by that time Semblance of Hope is also at the stopping point I want it to reach, and then would bring back Sword, Bow and Horse for the patron poll. Remember I am going to put it on hold after the next chapter, where we will finish up with the events in Brune. That would make the patron poll between two Ranma fics and two HP fics. And yes, that means at that point, Death’s Avenger would become a full-fic sized instead of episode style.
Although knowing my luck that just means that Making Waves will be finished before the Semblanceepisodes.
Beyond that… I don’t know. I’d like to get into Heroes of the High Seas, but that idea doesn’t seem to have enough backing among you all. The last thing I want to do is bring back a paused story that would just be among those who don’t get updated often. I’d also really like to get back into my Homage fic. Call it silly, but that could be a lot of fun.
As for taking on new fics? I think at least three of my current fics need to be finished before I start up something new. As for what… well, if ATPends, I think it would be fascinating to start up my Ranma/DC crossover and see what people think. On the other hand if I finish both those HP stories, I would feel compelled to also look at one of my other HP crossover ideas, possibly my HP/RWBY crossover.
Now, once more onto the actual questions.
Death’s Avenger:
Here, I have to say that, thanks to Tomon and Beleriond, I have become aware of several mistakes in the past episodes/chapters of this story that should be corrected, beyond the ones I already have seen. I am going to be going over it tomorrow night – giving each chapter another look through via Grammarly and correcting more mistakes pointed out to me at that point. So if someone points out a mistake or has a specific question/point they want to raise on this story, I will get back to you posthaste instead of more slowly as I would for the other stories.
Now on to the actual questions:
1. As a possible fuck-buddy type love interest, would a blue or red dragon work better for Harry?
2. I recently was reminded by Tomonof a World Tree that is part of the Broken Isles. The problem is that the first World Tree was Nordrassil, as in the tree was blessed by the Aspects. So… where did Shaladrassil come from? How did it become a World tree, and why? Did Frandral pull an oopsy again? Did it grow to be one on it’s own while also severing as the prison for the Satyrs captures in the War of the Ancients? These questions could be important for the next few of Harry’s lifetimes.
3. What is everyone’s opinion on goblins? I’ve looked at their lore, and found it kind of interesting. Especially the whole war against the trolls for independence thing.
4. And here is a big one. I want to introduce Earth concepts into Azeroth. However, this Harry doesn’t know much about guns, steam or anything. History, yes, you can expect to see a few roman-type legions and such when the Human’s first Empire shows up. But how to build better guns, cars, etc, that I am having trouble coming up with a way to explain. So, should these ideas be kept vague? Rely on human (and dwarven, possibly even goblin) ingenuity to do the rest? I think it would be fun to have the Humans go the steampunk route early, and have them be fully invested in a steampunk industrial revolution by the time the Horde Invades.
Um… I have also been doing some reading about post Lich King lore… yeah… No. Just… no. I know war, logistics, and strategy. The people who came up with this lore… no.
Magic of the Force:
1. What should I do about the Mandalorians in this fic? This is an issue I’ve been going back and forth on for a while. ON the one hand, they got shafted by the Order after the New Sith War, but on the other hand, they are a warrior culture. Interesting and fun if they can be directed, but if not, they can be a major issue.
2. Since I’ve used Corellia as a target in Horse, would it make more sense for the Separatists to attack Dac or Serenno? Or is Corellia just that important a target that sending an overwhelming fleet against it for a second fic makes too much sense to ignore?
3. I have been accused of adding too much power to my antagonists in this fic and a few others, so, I am going to ask: should the Sith be able to replicate runes if they take one of the space-expanded freighters intact?
4. On a scale of one to ten, how badly should Padme react to the Chumei situation?
And a final, broader opinion question: which of my HP/crossover concepts most appeals to you all? I don't want to arbitrarily state the next one would be the HP/RWBY one without asking.
Remember, answering these are not the only purpose of this thread! If you have questions, or even suggestions, please feel free to share them too, and thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts!
