I have to apologize to everyone, period. Real life swallowed me whole, as I have been struggling to make a living writing original fiction over the last 8 years. It has not been easy, & has been complicated by health issues. I hope people can forgive my long silences. Trying to make enough money to live on from writing is a lot harder--waaaay harder--than it looks. (At least I didn't leave any posted fanfics unfinished.)
Anyhoo...
These stories are works of parody (& thus are allowable under US law), and are not written for profit. Just for fun. I'm not making any money off of any fanfics, nor will I ever. I'm just playing around in other writers' universes.
...I am, however, making something of a living off my own stories. (If anyone wants to play around in my universes, you may visit my website, www.jeanjohnson.net, and look up my policy on Fanfics & Fanarts. It's reasonable enough and fairly easy to follow, too...)

Oh I look forward to reading more of this totally different look at the Marriage Law. Interesting that it has always been Hermione forced to marry Severus rather than Severus being forced to marry.
:)

Well, as I happen to be a rabid equalist, that's why I wrote it!~Lotm*foaming benignly at the mouth--grinning, too!*
I love this idea. A reverse Marriage Law, and funny to boot.
I got to the end of this chapter, only to do a double take as I'd somehow missed that it was by you. How I managed that, I don't know. Half asleep. Must be. But I'm not now... Great stuff!

*laughs her head off* Oh, that's funny! Glad you enjoyed it, whoever wrote it! ;-D~Lotm

...Come to think of it, I had a similar "brainfart" moment. I was looking at the url to Amazon.com where my books are in pre-order sales, and I was thinking, "Hey, that's a good price! I need to buy a copy of thi--** D'OH! *forehead smack* I WROTE it, and am getting effing Author's Copies!!" lmaoHugs,~Lotm
Another perfect story, and another perfect ending. It was well worth the read as always. *Sighs* Though I will always have to say it. I miss your novles, but I really did love this story dear. Julianna

Nope, that's all she wrote! Busy with other things. There are thousands of fluffy critters begging for attention in my plot-bunny refugee camp, ya know...But I'm glad I could tickle your funnybone with a cottony tail or two...~Lotm
PERFECT!
Sexy, entertaining, and I love the way you had them both end up being the cause of the marriage law. LOL. Well done.

Sometimes I like my lemon with a twist...lol.~Lotm
THAT was and abso-f-ing-lutely great chapter!
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of The Act)
Thank you, thank you...~Lotm
Bloody brilliant!
adorable and hilarious! thank you for sharing this story with us!
i thought i had read everything by you, lotm, but i just found this today! i'm loving it so far!!
This was a great story! I've never read one from this angle before and it was quite refreshing. As well as quite funny!
Still as good as the first readthrough!
Bloody brilliant! Just don't pick on us Kiwis or I will have to send Peter Jackson over with a giant weta or two 
This is still one of my favorite MLC fics. Hell, it is one of my favorite SSHG fics as well. I come back to read it every so often and it is just as amusing as it was the first time.
Call me dense, but just what is it that she has paper cuts on? Or is that up to the reader's imagination? Also, the speech that Hermione gave in her defense at the Wizengamot was brilliant. I don't think that anyone wants to come home and see that on their bed. Kudos to Hermione for pointing that out.

Lol, it's meant to imply that she got papercuts on her genitalia. And thank you. While there is nothing terrible about plump-figured women (I am one, myself), and some men do enjoy plump-figured women...combined with Dolores Umbridge's personality? *shuddersquick*Come to think of it, I can't imagine how Petunia Dursley (a svelt figured woman) ever "landed her man"...~Lotm
