First- I enjoy the smut. You generated some real heat just from Harry and Hermione kissing.
Second- I don't get where Hushpuppy didn't know where this was heading- the freaking title says 'Harem'. The only thing missing is direct mention of Gabrielle's involvement (though your summary should probably say 1/2 story, 1/2 smut- saying it's 1/2 plot isn't meaningful).
Third- are you going to chart an end to the canon story from these changes, or is this just going to encompass Harry's bed adventures? There's nothing wrong with taking a trip down an idyllic path in the midst of a stormy life. I guess I'm just wondering how much (non-smut) action to expect from the fic.

Thank you so much, I try!
Actually it was originally Harry/Multi but I changed it to harem because of the complaint. Hopefully there wont be any more sad people :{
Finally, this story is absolutely going to arc from mid-6th year to the end of 6th year, then a sequel 7th book AU, followed by a few one shot style epilogue chapters.
As the story progresses it's going to become more and more AU as far as plotting goes, at the moment however there's a good 3 weeks of no action according to the lexicon which all of this (so far) is taking place. The next big plot point coming up as far as book plot goes is Slughorn's Christmas party and Draco and Snape's overheard conversation. All that's going to happen, but obviously altered by the already AU events of the fic.
By the end there will be MUCH non-smut action, but many things need to be established before that can happen.
