Jumped on the Harry Potter bandwagon in 2000 (when Goblet of Fire was out in hardback). Prisoner of Azkaban is my favourite in the series, followed by Order of the Phoenix. I read and write in the SS/HG corner of the Potterverse.

Have you read Margaret Atwood's A Handmaid's Tale? The sex scene reminded me of it. Poor Hermione this has been one hellva month hasnt it? I am proud of her that her hex to the door cannot be removed. you go girl!

Intriguing story. It will be interesting to see how her relationship with Lucius does or does not develop.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! I hope you will enjoy how it does/doesn't develop.

Thank you! I hope you will enjoy how it does/doesn't develop.
Nice lemons! Now for the Lucius part. I can never decide which combination I like best, and am very happy for Hermione that she doesn't need to choose. If one leaves her not quite satisfied, falling asleep no less!, there's always the other to help her out...
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you!I hope you'll enjoy the next chapter.That's the theory. We shall see if it's the practice too...
Absolutely brilliant! I've just read this story from the first chapter to this point and want to do nothing but clamour for updates! If I keep discovering marvellous stories containing Hermione/Severus AND Lucius I'm going to end up converted to the threesome... terrible, terrible. *makes innocent eyes*
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! I'm very glad to hear it. I hope you'll be pleased to hear that the next chapter is being betaed, so should be coming soon.It does seem that if you start reading this threesome, there is no escape. Certainly the case with me!
Ooohhh. Ominous little House-elf, isn't she. I think Hermione had better watch her back around her.Well, the only thing Krum achieved was to get things moving quicker between Severus and Hermione.I wonder id Lucius is going to be able to cope with being second to Severus?
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
She certainly should. Not that she knows to do so...Krum did a great job with that!We shall see...
Poor Lucius. Jelous of Severus and a Muggleborn. I wonder wich is bothering him the most - that he is jelous over what Severus has or that he is jelous over a Muggleborn?
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Poor man. Probably the latter, although even I'm not entirely sure with Lucius!
I am loving this story. I thought it was a hoot that she accepted Viktor's challenge. I like Tricksy too. I am looking forward to the next chapter.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! Glad you liked that bit. I'll be interested to know if your perception of Tricksy changes...Next chapter coming as soon as it's been betaed.
Wow! Fabulous job! I just found this and read it straight through. I find myself panting for the next chapter, please! I find also find myself overcome with sympathy for poor Lucius. I hope Hermione's gentle with him!Great story, waiting for the next chapter!!GG
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you, I'm delighted to hear it!Next chapter coming soon, it's being betaed.
Well, challange was partially advoided. Nice scenes.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
All parties involved are fortunate that Viktor backed off. Thank you!
I love how Severus was considerate of her recent lack of activity as well as seemingly not bothered that she'd had any activity at all, but man, forgetting being with Ron entirely would be a real bear.I shall assume that there will be no SS/HG/LM in this story? Only SS/HG as well as LM/HG?Poor Lucius.The elf didn't knock her out, did she?
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! Certainly a concern - if she forgot that, she could forget anything that happened during that time.We shall see...Nope, the elf hasn't done anything. Yet.
uh-oh, that Tricksy is starting to look more dangerous! I am still dreading Lucius' turn while he is still forced to not wear Cissa's ring, etc. hmm, maybe a duel with Viktor would've made Lucius feel better! thank you for the new chapter. btw, when does a signature turn gold - after Lucius does his thing?
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Good, she should be!A signature would turn gold if one of them was a virgin, so after Lucius does his bit, all of the signatures should be silver.Thanks for reviewing!
that was nice but i'm so distracted from thinking about what it will be like with malfoy.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! You'll find out soon, the next chapter is currently being betaed.
Sev did ok, can Lucius do better?
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
We shall see... soon. Next chapter is being betaed.
That was gutsy of Harry to arrange a meeting knowing full well she is going to rip his head off. Not that he doesnt deserve it of course. I am looking forward to Lucius turn in the sack! Oh and that elf of his Tricksy? Yeah she has completely freaked me out. 
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
He probably thinks it's been long enough that he's escaped, silly boy.I hope you'll enjoy the next chapter. Excellent, she should do...
Stupid Viktor! And that house elf is going to cause some serious problems before too long...
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Indeed, indeed!Thanks for reviewing.
That was very good chapter, but now I'm really looking forward to consummation part 2...gab
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the next chapter.
That was hot. And that house-elf is going to be trouble, isn't she?
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! Trouble's one word for it.
So glad to have a new chapter so soon. Did I tell you I like your fic very much ? ;)
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you, you have now!
Well - one down and one to go and Severus left her wanting ... maybe Lucius will be the one to satisfy????
Great chapter but the house elf has got to go before she hurts Hermione.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! We shall see... Unfortunately the house-elf is keeping her intentions secret from her masters.
That house-elf is sounding quite threatening. Can it/he/she take actions on its own thinking it is helping its Master? What is the deal with Lucius? He is getting more upset as time passes? Is it just jealousy, him missing his wife, the unfairness of the world, or him fighting his desires? Hermione is letting her power go to her head.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
We shall see what that house-elf can do.With Lucius, it's mostly a combination of jealousy, grieving Narcissa and possibly fighting his desires.I might be being dense here... I don't quite understand what you mean by this: Hermione is letting her power go to her head.
Response from Maddie (Reviewer)
What do I mean by "Hermione is letting her power go to her head.[?]" It just seems to me that she has the men by the short hairs. Women are in short supply and Lucius and Severus appear to be tip-toeing around her, trying not to upset her. In a normal husband/wife relationship I think there would be more give and take and less of Hermione calling all the shots. An example would be the owl message which her husbands believed was a challenge. Without reading it out loud or answering their inquiries, Hermione, understandably upset, takes care of the matter herself. This seems quite heavy handed and inconsiderate of her over as this is such an important matter, the likes of which was just being discussed at the breakfast table. It really should have been a matter discussed by the three of them. They should be a unit. Right now, IMHO, it appears to be Hermione and her minions.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Ahh! I see what you mean. But at this stage, it's not a normal husband/wife relationship. Given time, Hermione (and her husbands) should adjust.Part of the problem is that from her time with Harry and Ron, Hermione is used to acting on her ideas without explaining them at first. She's not used to having the company of intelligent men yet...Also, if that challenge had come from anyone other than a friend of hers, say an ex-Death Eater, she would have been less likely to act impulsively.
Yea, thanks for the update! Nice touch with Hermione offering to duel Krum... very nice indeed.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! Glad you thought so.
And now reenter Ron and possible Harry-- a wtch can have two husbands, but can witches SHare husbands?
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Good question... I think because there's so few witches to wizards, there can be no more than one wife to a husband, although there can be more than one husband to a witch. Two at the moment, although if any more witches die...
Fascinating story - a sad premise, but not without its moments of humour and lots of potential for romance. Looking forward very much to more.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! I hope this can live up to some of that potential. More coming within a few days.
Could the ministry be just a little more intrusive--or a little more inclined to leak information? Jerks.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
They could certainly do with a Data Protection Act or two!
I am totally loving this story. 
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you very much! Delighted to hear it.
