We exchanged emails a long time ago about your story Bread and Board, but other than that, you don't know me. I'm purely a lurker in fandom.
Anyways, because I love your HP fic, I was very interested to see what you'd have to say about DH, and I'm still interested to read your reaction once you get it.
With respect to what you say above, though, OotP was the book that got me interested in HP fan fiction. I read everything I could get my hands on until HBP came out and then... I just didn't care anymore. You're right that something happened during Book 6 that just made the universe less compelling.
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with DH. Despite its flaws (and there are many), it practically makes ME want to write fic, and I don't write. I'll check back later to see what you think after you read it.
