God I understand about the Dracobang! I love Harry too as a character, I mean I really love him, he is my one and only, honestly, but for my harrybang, it's hard not to see Draco as a central character too. I think it'll be pretty obvious when people read it, but I hope I've managed to make it Harrycentric enough! :)

Anyway, I've had blocks like these and I agree, changing POV often helps. The block I had was different and it was all a question of genre. I mean, I was mixing two different genres and I didn't even know it and I've learned that, well, it's not really possible. Or it is, but I'm not skilled enough to. So once I'd picked what I really wanted to write, I felt liberated and now I'm having great fun. I had no idea it could happen! :)

About your fic being a ragbag, I know other very talented writers who write like this, I mean, out of order and betaing for them has taught me a lot. I admire people who are able to do that, I feel it's really complicated to do but it's helped me realise it's good to focus on what you want to write at the moment, not necessarily what needs to be written in chronological order.

God, I'm going to shut up now because I'm knackered, I've just had drinks with friends and I'm afraid I'm not making any sense tonight, sorry!!! :P

And I hope some day you'll get to write this story! :)
