Hello all,  I am a 53 year old from NZ.  Although SSHG is how I started and still my main pairing, I'll give pretty much any pairing a try, whether it be reading or writing.  Sev and Herms need a bit of variety at times. ;)

Funny take on ML challenge! Quite AU but that isn't a bad thing.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Thanks. :)

Definitely an interesting take on the marriage law so far, but I have to admit that hermione seems very out of character with her brazen sexual nature, and Ginny seems too naive in comparison. Snape... Well, I never believed that he'd be a virgin (though I can see why people think he would be), so I guess the vote is still out on him.

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Hard to know what Hermione's and Ginny's sexual natures would be like post war. You never get their point of view in the books. Who knows what's going on inside their heads. A sexually repressed Hermione wouldn't provide much humour, so I decided she had discovered her latent sexuality over the summer preceding the story, and that Ginny had been holding out for Harry. :D

Oh! Look, I think I skipped some chapters there... got caught in reading, again. :) Lovely story, dear Sunny! Cheers! 

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Thanks for all the lovely reviews, Mel. xx :)

Poor Harry! And Severus is being rather a saint, isn't he! :P

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

He knows which side his bread is buttered on. :)

Gah! That friendship between Ginny and Severus is just so adorable.

Someone has to tell it like it is. :)

AHAHA! I was going to say... it is very unlikely, no matter how vile he is, that it will be forgotten! :P

Spray some Toad Repellent Potion around? :)

Someone needs to be thinking.  :)

I just adored the giggling fits with Hermione and Ginny. They had a tone to them that rang so true! 

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

They're still teenagers, after all. :)

Meladara

Blast! That always happens. I get all engrossed, and then BAM, 3 chapters have seemed to slip away. I love the stinging hex. I think if Hermione isn't careful she will find herself quite outsmarted! :D

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

She may indeed. :)

Meladara

Oh! Poor Hermione! That was rather rotten of the Ministry to tie her name to the law, gets them rather off the hook for the outrage!  I can't wait to see how Snape reacts! 

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Hi, Mel! Yes, blame it on the Know-it- all! :)

At the beginning I was really excited to know how your story continued and liked your idea for the ML.However, while reading on, i realized that your snape and also (or especially) your take on Ginny was too OOC for me. sorry. [for example, it just didnt seem very plausible for me how the two of them (snape and ginny) interacted. My version of snape would never allow any student to call him by his first name while still at school or let her slap him, etc.]

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

That's okay.  Everyone has different likes and dislikes.  I appreciate you taking time to share your opinion.  :)

A very fun take on the MLC!  I laughed often and had a great time reading this story.  I loved Severus, his personality was perfect for someone who was learning how to relax and be happy.  Ginny was wonderful, I enjoyed how supportive she was.  I also liked how real Hermione and Ginny's relationship was, that they shared things with each other so well. 

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Thank you! I enjoyed writing it. :)

Ahhhh... what a sweet ending.  I love the kids and the origins of their names.  And a happily ever after always goes over well with me.  I hope you've got something else in the works for me to enjoy very soon.  You don't want to see me in withdrawl... it isn't pretty :)

Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)

Working on it.  There's a SSHG exchange piece to be posted on LJ in July and after that will be posted on TPP. And a new one I have planned but haven't started yet. :)
