Reviews for Parody: The Amazing Marriage Law
~giggles~ What do you mean, wrong? Everything's absolutely perfect. Your characterisations are absolutely spot-on, and the characters' reactions couldn't *be* more believable. Poor Hermione - who wouldn't cry and fret in her situation. And those wonderful retrospective moments that you brought in throughout the chapter ... I mean I always knew Severus would become friends with Remus and with Harry; they just had those minor misunderstandings to iron out, you know ... ~happy sigh~
And isn't Severus romantic, to dance with and snog his wife the whole time of the party ... That's the kind of stuff that just makes you swoon.
OMG Wedding night next! Update soon plz!

Hahahaa! LOL I h ave some more crazy shite coming up. LOL Angst time anyone? Oh, sorry, the plot must have one twist or kink, ya know? :)
hahahaha... awesome stuff i must say ;)
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Parody: The Amazing Marriage Law)
Thanks for reading. :)
Now, don't you ruin anything, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this picture (ok, maybe Severus is a bit soft, but he does has a wife to seduce, not to mention he wants to seduce her so thoroughly that she will stay in his bed. One could blame it on his Slytherin side, being soft to achive something he wants:-)) I loved this first chapter, yes I know it has been done before, but I proudly admit to love MLC fics, and with all the rather dark WIP's going on at the moment, it is refreshing, relaxing, entertaining and plain great to read a story like this for a change. I hope you will give us the next chapter soon and that you will continue to write it in the same fashion as this first one. A great job!

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. He's only soft b/c it suits him. LOLMore up tomorrow. And I, too, enjoy the MLC stories. :) Grin. Years back, this would have been right up my alley!
*gigglesnort*
Weren't we just talking about these the other day? It's a MLC... Squee!
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Parody: The Amazing Marriage Law)
Uh-huh. It's what prompted me to post this. LOLOf course a couple of people don't see the humor in it. ~gasp~ oh the torture... snerk
I'm not sure it works as a parody, unless you know the fandom (meaning, have read all that trash out there) and know you as a fic author. I feel that a truly good fic should be able to stand alone, without much of that background. You used all the cliches that drive me mad, and overall the story is fluffy enough to make one giggle, but it wasn't "overblown" enough for me to really laugh out loud and enjoy it as a parody. But this is just a subjective opinion, don't take this as a flame.
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Parody: The Amazing Marriage Law)
I don't take it as a flame, just as someone who's a bit serious about her reviewing. Here's the definition of parody that I snagged from dictionary.com.A literary or artistic work that imitates the characteristic style of an author or a work for comic effect or ridicule.I'm imitating "funky plot, etc." from the normal MLC stories b/c I feel like making fun. I suppose what I'm going for, as per my first a/n, is to make people snicker a bit. "Good grief! Look at this!" That kind of thing.Anyway, chapter 2 will be more of the same, so you may not like it.I'm not sure what you mean in the first part of your review. Did you think I'd meant this to be a good fic? I truly know it's rubbish and am only trying to have fun.
Response from Redone (Reviewer)
Oh, I meant those who have read your other fics and have read your messages in the group etc, those readers would know that you do not mean it to be a good fic, and they would enjoy all those familiar cliches and snigger over them. A poor yahoo who just discovered SS/HG might think that you meant it all seriously. I felt (at least in Ch 1; haven't read Ch 2 yet) that the fic stands somewhere on the line between serious and not so serious, and for the "uninitiated" the comic effect or ridicule would perhaps not be so obvious.
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Parody: The Amazing Marriage Law)
Oh, okay, I see what you mean now. Ah, well. I hope they'll read the author's notes then. :) Actually, about three years ago when the challenge first came out, I did an outline for an MLC and wrote portions of plot down to include in the story. I never did get around to posting it. This is an edited version of that. Some of it was meant to be serious. Snerk. Now it's laughable, and I'm very happy I never got around to doing anything with it. In fact, I have about ten old outlines / drafts sitting round.
LOL! I think you got every possible cliché...So much fun to read!
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Parody: The Amazing Marriage Law)
There are a few left yet! Bwahahaha
This is a train wreck of epic proportions. I think the only cliche you missed was stalker!ron. Fabulous parody. ---or should I say---*squee* I can't wait to see what happens next. You've got to update soonest. Sevie and Mia should have lots of babies with her nose and his eyes.
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Parody: The Amazing Marriage Law)
I should have had stalker!ron, huh? LOL Damn.
*Giggle* Well, Hermione's spine is missing for a start...“Oh my!” Hermione exclaimed. “You mean to say, they would rape, torture, and possibly murder me as pay back?”Oh, wow! Love that line! And I've seen so many similar used with a perfectly straight face!Thanks for brightening my morning!
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Parody: The Amazing Marriage Law)
Uh-huh! I'm happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading. I'll have the next bit of cheese, er, story up tomorrow.
Cheese of the finest vintage....I loved it made me smile and giggle. All that was missing in the cheese department was some lovely silver snakes on Sev's boxers.
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Parody: The Amazing Marriage Law)
thank you!
Gourmet cheese! My favorite. I am so glad I haunt the WIKTT yahoo group, this was lots o fun and a parody that doesn't burn my eyes is a welcome change. You should have seen the first to chapters I wrote for what was to be an epic harry/ginny story with a mangled latin name about red hair before the third book came out, I'm actually kind of sad I don't have anything but a written rough copy, its fun to remember past writing transgressions :) Thanks for the story.

I'm so happy you enjoyed it. It's such fun to poke fun. And looking back on our old work--priceless! :)

~sees double~Grin grin grin.... I'm thinking of another parody.
Squee! Oh how I love a happy ending for 'Mione and Sevvie! *snicker* Seriously, this was fun to read. Rather like the cliff's notes version of 95% of the MLC fics out there, it has all the cheese, plenty of beans and very little meat, all wrapped up in two quick chapters - a fast-food burrito of a fic. *giggles* great job!
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Parody: The Amazing Marriage Law)
Bwahahaha yea! I love this comparison: Cliff's Notes.~treasures comment~
i guess i must just be the cheese queen because i enjoyed the heck out of this. yes, it was a bit juvenille but what the hey it was a parody. thanks so much!
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Parody: The Amazing Marriage Law)
And it was fun at least. LOL Thank you! :)
TOO funny. I think I squealed when I saw that Harry gave her away. *giggle snort*
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Parody: The Amazing Marriage Law)
Bwahahahah! :)
I loved this. I felt a little guilty at first even reading it, like I was being disloyal to all those marriage law fics I had read. Before long I was laughing so hard my ribs hurt. So much for my loyalty.
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Parody: The Amazing Marriage Law)
LOL Hey, don't feel bad. I totally love MLC fics! Hahaha It's just funny the same old things you tend to see after a while. :)
This is a double whammy, funny story with even funnier reviews chortle chortle!
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Parody: The Amazing Marriage Law)
Hehehe! Thanks :)
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Parody: The Amazing Marriage Law)
Hehehe! Thanks :)
That was a great parody. As much as I like a good MLC there are unfortuantly too many like your parody that were written seriously.
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Parody: The Amazing Marriage Law)
~nod~ LOL Thanks!
