Kim Cramer is living happily ever after with the success of her romance-meets-sports Web site, FantasyHusband.com.
Since launching the online game in July, she's appeared on CNN Headline News, Geraldo Rivera's show and a Philadelphia TV talk show. She's also been featured in numerous newspaper and online articles.
NBC's "Dateline" is planning a segment.
And her two partners, Patty McAlpine and Kay Colvin-Guthrie, are writing a book about the Web site. They've also been featured in media reports.
Cramer, a Tallahassee accountant and self-proclaimed football widow, said she's been blown away by the media coverage.
"I guess it's just given validation to the whole site," she said. "It's just really been a very positive experience."
The Web site, similar to a fantasy sports game, uses real guys for its athletes. Each week, they're judged on their responses to various domestic scenarios, like a visit from the mother-in-law.
Players score points when their team of fantasy husbands responds with sensitivity; they get fewer points when their team acts like a pack of Neanderthals.
So far, some 800 people from all over the country have signed up to play. The cost is $9.95 for seven weeks.
The game is in the middle of football season now, and Cramer is planning a New Year's Eve party to kick off the 2007 basketball season.
Cramer, McAlpine and Colvin-Guthrie are picking a new group of guys to play husband for the 2007 basketball season. They'll be more diverse in terms of age and culture than the last batch of dudes.
"It's going really well," McAlpine said. "We're having a blast."
