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:

I loved this when I first read it on lj, and it's every bit as good the second time :)

Lol! Actually, over here poker isn't such a universal thing, but it would be very Hermione to hustle Lucius, and the whole back-firing plan is very Lucius.Best of all is the way that Sraco just assumes that his dad has been having a secret affaire with Hermione and that they sloped off together for a dirty weekend, despite Hermione's involvement in the wedding plans...

Yeah, the funny thing is poker is up and down in popularity here, too. Glad you enjoyed the story! :)

They form a nice pair together. Do you think Draco will have a sibbling before he has a child ? *wink*

Fun story, and amusing, thank you. Too bad Draco got his preconceptions wrong. ;)
Response from linlawless (Author of A Fool-Proof Plan)
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! (Draco isn't always as perceptive as he might like to think...)

Oh, the best laid plans of mice and men... and Lucius! ^_^
Response from linlawless (Author of A Fool-Proof Plan)
I'm sure he's re-written history by now and would tell you this was his plan all along. ;) Thanks for the review -- glad you enjoyed it! :D

I have a secret weakness for HG/LM stories (even though they require you to suspend your disbelief) and this one is adorable! I love the way in which Hermione-the-Muggleborn was able to trick Lucius-the-Pureblood and keep him on his toes, even thoough that would probably have made him seethe (inwardly -- Malfoys do not seethe outwardly!) in canon. I'm sure Lucius would never have dreamed that a Muggleborn would be able to beat him at anything (never mind strip poker)!
Response from linlawless (Author of A Fool-Proof Plan)
LOL, all that is certainly true. It's fun playing around with fanon!Lucius, isn't it? ;) Thanks for the review, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

I must say that I am not a fan of Lucius and Hermione, but I had a very fun time reading this. The conversation is intelligent, the situation awkward, and best of all is poor Draco who rushes in to rescue Hermione, only to find her in bed with his father. Poor guy. Still, it keeps Lucius distracted enough to probably care very little about who is son marries, so everyone wins.

LOL, Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it despite not being a fan of the pairing. I had a lot of fun writing it. :)

Wonderful job. I just loved the banter between the two of them and poor Lucius when he realized his plan backfired and he got Hermione instead of Lucius. Of course the ending begs for more and now I'm off to read more. This really is my favorite pairing.

Thank you! I've grown to enjoy this pairing recently, so I've been writing them more lately. I'm glad you enjoyed this take. :)
