I'm a forty-something American woman who is addicted to the SSHG pairing, relatively new to this fandom. I'm also considering starting some original fiction soon...
Check out the story I co-wrote with Remarkable -- it's called "Hidden Attractions" and (as soon as it's through the queue) it's archived under the penname remarkable_linlawless.
For those who are interested, I've got two WIPs at my website (which I will eventually post here, but not until I have a complete draft). It's easy and free to join the website, so I hope you'll visit!
I am honored that my story, Witchy Woman, has been selected as a featured story for September 2010. Better yet, this honor came with the very awesome banner at the top of this post!
Here's a couple of banners my friend Atuliel made for the two WIPs at my website:
Reviews for Hermione's Happy Housewarming Party
Bravo!! :) I enjoyed that throughly. Very fun and light hearted. A perfect little fic to put a smile on my face. :) Thank you for sharing, lin!
Poor Slytherins, they keep getting all up and trapped by their Gryffindor lionesses... *cough cough* poor babies...
Response from linlawless (Author of Hermione's Happy Housewarming Party)
ROFL! Yes, poor babies, indeed! (I doubt either one is complaining -- unless, of course, it will serve some secret purpose to do so). :D Thanks for commenting!

Hi, Linlawless! I'm here via the Quiz. (It's fun to read your stories for a change, instead of your reviews, lol!) I love this scene, and love that they immediately feel such an affinity with each other. It's a great read, very seductive, and no wonder that her party is ultimately 'happy'! :)
Response from linlawless (Author of Hermione's Happy Housewarming Party)
Thanks so much (belatedly) for the review. I'm glad you enjoyed this little 1-shot. :D
Heeeeee I am glad Severus will stay while Hermione kicks the rest of her guests out! LOL!
Response from linlawless (Author of Hermione's Happy Housewarming Party)
Hehehehe, ( think she's using positive reinforcement on him. This way, he'll show up for any party Hermione might decide to throw in the future, don't you think? ;) And he deserves a little extra reward for being such a gracious guest. :D Thanks for reviewing!
Well, that's one way to warm a house ;) This was not too angsty, not too fluffy, not to silly, not too dramatic... not too anything. It was simply perfect. I've never thought of Severus as "boyishly adorable", but then unfortunately, I've never seen him as Hermione has this night. Nicely done.
Response from linlawless (Author of Hermione's Happy Housewarming Party)
LOL -- I would love to see him that way myself! Thank you for the lovely compliment. I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
Oh, I love it. "Boyishly adorable?!" Yes, I can actually imagine that.
Response from linlawless (Author of Hermione's Happy Housewarming Party)
LOL! Sadly, none of us are likely to catch that expression on his face, so our imaginations will have to do, won't they? Sigh. Thanks for commenting!
Love the way she left the partygoers to sort their own problems out. :)
Response from linlawless (Author of Hermione's Happy Housewarming Party)
Hehe, thanks!
An enjoyable read! Thanks! AV

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for reviewing!
I really enjoyed this, both the first time through and on reread. Lucky wizards apparate, otherwise someone might wonder why Severus' car was still there after the party.Thanks!
Response from linlawless (Author of Hermione's Happy Housewarming Party)
Thanks, I'm glad you still enjoyed it the second time through. I've often thought that Apparating would be a heckuva useful skill! Between that and Accio, I'm kinda jealous that I'm not a witch ... 
Thanks for reviewing!
Absoulutely wonderful! I would love another bit about "afters" but this is very good, even alone. Truffles! Sara
Response from linlawless (Author of Hermione's Happy Housewarming Party)
Thanks very much! Maybe the muse will hit me with ideas for "afters" at some point, but so far, she's been quiet on that ... Glad you liked it, anyway!
Love it - love all of it, except that it is done! More? I'd love to see where they go from here!
Response from linlawless (Author of Hermione's Happy Housewarming Party)
Awww, thanks! For the moment at least, it's done (I have 3 other WIPs going and I just can't handle more than that -- actually, I'm not sure I can handle that many! 
). Thanks so much for commenting!
Wonderful story, and a great way to start off my morning at work (shhh...)! Severus managed to maintain his reputation for snarky behavior and still get the girl at the end, as is only proper. Loved the description of Hermione's home, also--my parents had friends in San Antonio many many years ago who lived in a house with a castle-like tower in it, and I always loved that place when I was a child. I immediately thought of their old house when I read your story!
Response from linlawless (Author of Hermione's Happy Housewarming Party)
I totally love those old houses with the turrets and towers and things -- they always call to mind fairy tales and romance and possibilities for me. I'm glad I'm not alone in that. Thanks for the compliment, and for commenting. I won't tell on you for reading at work -- it'll be our little secret, 'kay? 
great party!!! Wish he was a guest at mine
Response from linlawless (Author of Hermione's Happy Housewarming Party)
LOL, you and me both! Thanks for commenting!
I really enjoyed this, loved Severus' inner thoughts and the hotness at the end. Also wondering if it will be followed up with a sequel.
Response from linlawless (Author of Hermione's Happy Housewarming Party)
Thanks very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have no immediate plans for a sequel, but I'm not ruling out the possibility for sometime in the future. Thanks for commenting!
