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.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Someone has to tell it like it is. :)
LOL! Insatiable couple! :P
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
You know them? :)
AHAHA! I was going to say... it is very unlikely, no matter how vile he is, that it will be forgotten! :P
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
LOL. :)
Uh Oh! What are they going to do now?!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Spray some Toad Repellent Potion around? :)
Look at Ginny, all wise and stuff!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Someone needs to be thinking. :)
Heee... She's created a monster :P
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Yep. Sure did! :)
Hermione is such a lucky girl... *sigh*
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
:D
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. :)
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. :)
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! :)
Hi,
Laughed all the way through your delightful story. Thanks for sharing.

*cheers!* So nice to read about a happy ending--in so many ways... ;)
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thank you. :)

Thank you. :)
Oh, I loved this. Love how hermione is the one to save Severus for a change. beautifully written. great story.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thank you. :)
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. :)
Habbutt; bathtub
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Yep! :D
Bathtub. I like it. Good story. Thanks!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Yep. Thanks! :)
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. :)
Very funny! Loved the story. And the names are hilarious. Great work!!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Marriage by Numbers)
Thanks, gabi. :)
