Yup, I like the tone and language of this one a lot. Especially Millicent's boldly grasping the bull by the horns and starting a relationship with Harry.

And I'd love to see Luna's animated wood-origami (golems, perhaps?).

So, I think I might have a little more of a clue about why I like this one more than the other one (Luna's Pet?). In the other one, Harry and Ginny are already in an established relationship, which means that the idea of adding more to the relationship kind of cheapens the pre-existing one. In this one, and the younger ones, Harry's not really in a set relationship (friendship with Hermione notwithstanding) before being introduced to the idea of sharing, so it's not such a "betrayal" of the pre-existing one.

I'm not sure that's all of it, but I'm sure it's at least part of it.

Thank you! That's interesting. Makes a lot of sense, really ( ... )

Have you read chem prof's "Hermione's Realization, Ginny's Insight"? It deals rather well with the idea of Harry's loving both girls in their own way, and the girls' being able to figure it out and make it work. It's the only one of his stories I like, but it's a stellar example of some real thinking going into a sharing relationship like that, rather than the oh-too-many stories of the "Let's see just how many girls (young, middle-aged, old, dead, whatever) we can add to Harry's harem just to see what different kinds of smutty situations we can come up with" genre.

I appreciate seeing your thoughts behind the possibilities in your sharing stories--makes me examine my own feelings, which is always worthwhile.
