I am glad that you got inspired to update this story. :D

Thanks!

More substantial updates are on the way (Once I get past this bout of the flu... ugh, ack, ::Achoo!:: )

Yay! Happy to see this is still being worked on - definitely my favorite Harmony story!

LOL!
Yeah, my favorite Harmony story too (though that's a fairly small pool of options, really).
Thanks for commenting!

Great story.I wonder if you are going to have Amora come looking for the girl who became her on Halloween.Just a thought.

Hey, great question.
And, although I usually hate giving spoilers for what will happen, in this case I think it's okay to tell you:
No, Amora will never come looking for, or randomly encounter, Harmony or any of the others. The reason being, she's fictional.
(^_^)
No, seriously, it's that there IS no Amora in Harmony's universe, nor in any other universe accessible to her. No Amora, no Thor, no Asgard. There's only the idea of those things. And all the memories and powers she copied from the 'real' Amora had to come from a long, loooooong way away (metaphysically speaking).

Which is not to say that there isn't a LOT of things for Harmony to do, 'cause believe me, there are tons, but that particular story arc just isn't in the offing.

As always, thank you for commenting!

It was a pleasant surprise to see a new chapter in this excellent story. I look forward to reading more.

I am happy to have surprised you in a pleasant sort of way!
::Executes a formal bow::

I'm so glad to see this story isn't dead; I'd honestly written it off some time ago.

Usually when I go back and reread a story that I was a fan of some time ago I find it's not anywhere near as good on rereading. This story is not one of those times. Even after more than a year and a previous reading I still find this a very enjoyable read. Congratulations; this is very well done.

::Even after more than a year and a previous reading I still find this a very enjoyable read::

What a wonderful compliment!
Sorry it's taken so long to get back to this, but there should be more posted fairly soon.
Thank you for picking it back up and giving it another readthrough... that gives me all kinds of warm fuzzies!

Edit/Added: Still haven't forgotten about this story. Finally back to writing in a serious way--expect significant movement on this one before Halloween.

Glad to see this story is still ongoing.

A nice view into the family/court that Harmony is building.

I liked the thoughts on enhancing Angela into a more capable bodyguard, especially given the dangers in SunnyD.

More soon please.

Hey there, thank you for the reviewage.
Angela needs an edge, yes, very much so.

As for more, well, NaNoWriMo starts today, so... we'll see.

Was he really that stupid and mouthy in canon?

So glad to see you back! Thank you for the update on how Harmony is progressing.....it seems she's settling in pretty well, gathering friends and followers. Can't wait to see where you take her next. Thanks again.....

Nice to see some familiar people in the reviews!
Thanks for commenting on this very minor installment--working on actually substantial chapters now.

I should think she might change her tune about xander when she finds out about all the shit he's been through and done.

EDIT:Speaking of willow shouldn't harm be able to sense her magic potential?

Mmmm, I don't know.
The antagonism between those two isn't just canon, it's canon I sort of LIKE.
(In that it gives me fun and grinchy things to write about).

What REALLY interests me, though, is wondering how Willow, and Giles, and especially Buffy are going to react, once things get to a certain point.

Edit: Remember, this is very early days for Willow... I'm not even sure she's cast her first spell at this point, though I'd have to back and check to be sure. Also, I'm taking the Hellmouth's static-y interference very seriously, here, which makes it not-so-easy to detect subtle things, especially in and around the school.
Basically, I just don't want everyone to find out everything about everyone else too quickly or easily, but I'm working to justifiy it within the rules I'm setting up.

You REALLY don't like Xander, do you? :) Angela beat him to a pulp, eh? Cruel, cruel.

Well, Angela DID sort of trounce him, yes, but wait till you see what he did to deserve it.

Well, interesting 'glimpse' of the future anyway, although I still look forward to seeing what happens in the intervening time to get us to that stage; hope you get past your current writer's block sooner rather than later.

This was mostly just me sort of sneaking past the perimeter guards that have kept me away from this story for so long, sneaking out with whatever bit of text I could carry while escaping their pursuit.
I really do feel good about my chances of ripping through the whole intervening thing, though that section will likely require a slight change of style from what's gone before.
I'll know more once I sit down in the next day or two and give it a go.

Thanks for commenting!

A fun story with an interesting twist on a usually joked-upon character.

Thanks!
Everyone deserves their time in the sun, I think.
And Harmony provides lots of raw material to work with, which is nice.

Have re-read this one again recently, and would love to have an update here. It's been a couple years. Is it officially dead?

Hope not...

Not dead, no.
All these stories, including Harmony's story, are just suffering from my lack of (choose the answer you think best applies):

A) Writing discipline (SHOULD be writing every day, but do not)
B) Writing opportunities (two jobs=little free time/much frustration)
C) Self-Confidence (I does not haz eet)
D) That Damned --World of Warcraft--! Every time I think I've escaped it PULLS me back!
E) All of the above.

The correct answer is E; all of the above.
o_O

Seriously, though, please don't give up on Harm's story, or on the author. I WANT to work on that story. I still think about it (I was, literally, making notes on the current chapter when you left your comment, while at my day job). Of course, I've done that off and on ever since the last chapter was posted, and that's been a couple of years. What I keep failing to do is put together a string of hours and days at the keyboard, writing on the story.
I'm still trying, though. Tonight I'll try again. Having had you ask me for more does help, believe me. So thank you.

So how's the writing going, are we going to read new chapter 10?
Love Harmony's approach of using her new powers to get ahead and have fun and if in the process she helps others it's ok.
Like to reread your fic once in a while when I run across and check if theres a new part

Just reread this one, and I have to say it remains one of the very best pieces on this site. Your Harmony Plus is a fascinating character, you've created a number of well-drawn OCs, and while the main cast has mostly had background roles so far, you've done a good job with them too. I'm also enjoying the philosophical explorations that you've included, and Harmony's assertion that when you can have anything, you choose beauty is a definite point to ponder. Anyway, I hope your muse is cooperative and lets you continue this soon.

Hi there.

Thank you for the nice comments; I'm extremely fond of this Harmony myself, and there are a fairly absurd number of things I want to write about, with the various other characters getting their chance to shine. I am very much TRYING to get started on this again, so that I can share those adventures with everyone.
At this moment, I honestly believe I'll have a new chapter posted in the next couple of weeks. I know I've said that before, but I really am working to make it happen.

I have to say, hearing from you guys, knowing that there are people out there who want to know what comes next... that is a huge help.
Or, as Harmony would say, It's a very Beautiful thing... and that's what matters most, isn't it?
^_^

(Harmony also says 'make sure you write me so that I'm incredibly awesome and way brave, and really funny and smart, and most important make sure my hair looks fantastic at all times. Got that, writer-boy?')

o_O
Umm... did I just say that out loud?
