Thank you so much for this absolutely fantastic story. I always get so excited when you update. I simply adore you and this story. I find myself re-reading it from the beginning all the time because I just can't get enough. You are such a wonderful writer. Thank you so very much for taking the time to write this story. It truly is wonderful. I hope your birthday was as fantastic as you and this story are. Thanks again for you and your creative mind.

Oh wow...didn't realize you were only 2 months older than me! Happy Birthday from a mis-placed Canadian in Australia!

Okay, onto the story. I check almost daily for updates and immediately read any new chapters. However, I'm terrible at posting reviews for each one. So I know I reviewed you a few chapters back and my opinions haven't changed. You Are Awesome! I love how you are developing the world and the constant dynamics between Harry, his mates, children and extended family. It feels very real, not the 'picture perfect' family or 'completely disfunctional' family that is often portrayed in novels. I'm enjoying reading about how Braden (sp?) is growing, as well as the other five though we don't really know a huge amount about them yet, do we :D

I enjoy reading your new chapters, I think they are getting better in flow and pacing, not to mention the whole Dracken lifestyle. I'd love to learn more about the Dracken community, maybe through another of those big parties that happened a few chapters back (my fav...the one where Harry is pregnant and gets his hair braided). My only twitch, I suppose, is how extreme Harry's mood swings are. I know in the books, Book 5 was his hormonal year but I thought he matured after that...I just think Harry wouldn't be quite as emotional all the time, BUT this is Dracken Harry, not Voldemort-Defeater Harry so I don't know how battle-hardened he really is. Anyways, I look forward to reading any and all new developments

Oh, and I know you ranted about people poking you for updates. I promise to never do so. I'm just grateful that you are putting in such time and effort for this project. The people asking for immediate updates are idiots who don't realize that you are a real person with a life outside of writing ( though by the sound of it, becoming an author is your dream?) so please, ignore them. Take the time you need, I'm pretty sure your fans would prefer a well-written update that you have enjoyed writing and are happy with the finished project than a hurried chapter done to make critics shut up.

Anyways, I'm off to bed as its 230 am and i have work tomorrow. Have a fun birthday!

I have not reviewed here before, but I have been following Rise of the Drackens religiously since its beginning. I am so glad you are not letting those with no lives push you around and into either quitting or rushing the quality of your writing. You do what you need to do, HAVE a life, and just enjoy writing when YOU feel like it. Those who are true fans and really, lets face it ADULT, will gladly wait patiently for the next installment of such a good story. I also wanted to say I really adore how you write the interactions between Harry and all his mates. Sometimes with OCs its hard to really feel much of anything for them. But I do love how you've portayed Nasta and Max. And can I say, Nasta just makes me drool with his maturity and sensitivity. And Max's horndog tendencies always makes me giggle. I love that there's always some special little time with each of them and Harry. Anyway, I just wanted to show my support and love for your work and encourage you to continue on. Always blessed be.

Happy Birthday :D
It's your birthday but i'm the one feeling so spoiled getting a new chapter to read. Ashleigh does seem like the scatter brained type so I hope things turn out ok for Harry. He has enough to deal with on his plate.
