Hey guys! Well, I guess it's a little on the late side for most of you, but please accept my best holiday wishes for each and every one of you (except you in the blue shirt at the back there... yes you! I've told you before, I don't have any jelly babies!!! Now SCRAM!)

Anyways, I'm really sorry that this message is getting to you guys SOOOO late, but I have an excuse, honest!

About two weeks before x-mas, I got terribly sick (I had the WORST flu you could possibly imagine & was bedridden for a whole week!).

During that time, I got the sweetest, most memorable gift from [info]roboc so far (along with a healthy dose of TLC, which in turn, gave HIM the flu... sorry baby!) But back to the pressie... it’s ALL the D/Hr stories he’s written for me, bound up as if they were a real book! Seriously, each story even has it's own fanart and an introduction describing exactly why he wrote it for me. My guy has given me many things, but this one is something really personal; simply the dearest to my heart. (it actually made me a lil teary eyed as i read it). The stories are even in order, so reading the lovely book is like reminiscing about how the two of us met and how our friendship bloomed into something more.

Pardon my cheesiness, guys, but I just had to write about this pressie! And while I'm here, I thought I'd pimp his new PWP on CG, yet another great pressie from him (he spoils me, he really does, but I'm not complaining). The new fic is entitled An XXX-mas Surprise, and you can read it by clicking *HERE*.

Oh, and as if that wasn't enough, he’s also been trying his hand at drawing lately, and came up with le naughty little number below, inspired by his X-mas fic for moi. Click the thumbnail below to get a better look, and NO, before you ask, this is NOT me posing for this pic... that happened later.

Happy Christmas Raffy!

You are sooo lucky to have such a sweetie like RoBoC. But you are super special too - so you are a matched pair!

Hope you are feeling better and can enjoy the rest of the holidays!

RL can be such a pain! How dare it interrupt fandom!?!

I am always lurking around...

(and am working on a story I started at Thanksgiving - the end is just kicking my butt >:P )

PS when you had to have your dental stuff - did you ever have a root planing and scraping? I had one about a month ago and am wondering about effectiveness, etc.

That's wonderful! This is a D/Hr fic, right? *tingles w/ anticipation*

As for your dental question, no, sorry, but the procedure I had was called an Apicoectomy, which doesn't sound very similar to what you described... I wish i could be more help, sweetie.*HUGS*

Of course it is D/Hr!!!

And I just finished it. Or at least the un-beta'd version

Need to find a Beta tomorrow. Need sleep right now!


And PS your dental procedure sounds way more troublesome and painful than mine.
EEK!

Hey Raffy! Nice to hear from you, hope you had a Merry Christmas. sorry that you were sick for so long, that sucks hardcore.

so anyway....some of the wording in your post is telling me that you and Rob are maybe living together or something?

I'm just confused cuz I thought you guys lived like....on different continents so I'm wondering if maybe he came to visit you for the holidays. I've just always wondered if you guys have ever met face to face and figured I could just ask...

Tee Hee! I agree, that fic made me a lil hot under the collar (oh who am i kidding, right? it was a LOT of heat and it was nowhere near my collar ). And as for his artwork, Rob actually didn't really like it, especially the face, but he's always been his harshest critic. I keep telling him he has potential... hopefully one day he'll listen.

Take care, sweetie!

That is a wonderful present ^_^, Darlin this is completely off topic but I'm collecting Dramione facts for the Draco/Hermione article on Fanhistory.com and I was wondering if you knew the specific date that CV was created and any other facts and dates that were a turning point in the Dramione fandom. I would be grateful for any help

According to my records, CV was created on April 26, 2002 as a small fansite on Angelfire. It moved to its current home later, in January 2004, and has been going from strength to strength ever since. "Sleeping With The Enemy" ~ a dedicated and ACTIVE D/Hr group on Yahoo was formed on April 8, 2002 and now has over 3000 members (still growing!) The "dracohermionecomm" ~ CV's sister yahoo!group was formed on Jun 12, 2003 (now has 800+ members). CG (CV's fic archive), the first D/Hr only fanfic site was launched in January 2004 and then relaunched in 2005... we now have almost 2000 registered members.

As for other notable landmarks... that's a little tougher. What exactly is a landmark?I mean, for me, there are a couple of big ones, like the day I created my Smut Vault or the day I met my guy (we met through our shared appreciation of D/Hr), but those are more personal landmarks than big, fandom wide events. So I dunno....

Anyways, I hope these dates have been a help to you. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. I'll help in any way I can.

Best of luck on this D/Hr article of yours, sweetie!

Being without a computer has been hell. I really feel like I've missed out on a lot of stuff these past few months. Just trying to catch up with everyone's journals is daunting. Not to mention all the lovely D/Hr fanfics I've yet to read. Speaking of which, as always I see that Roboc has been taking exta fine care of you. Nothing short of what you deserve I'm sure. You guys put the RRRRR in romance. Here's wishing this year brings more happiness and love to you both.

Welcome back, Jeanne!!! Man, you must be soooooo glad to be back online. I can't imagine life without a comp... actually, I can. Last year my monitor went KAPUT on me, leaving me comp-less for days.
And as far as Rob 'taking care of me'... you can bet your bottom dollar he does! The guy practically showered me with gifts (for which he was thoroughly thanked, if you get my meaning )

He's a sneaky one though... he kept giving me pressies, one at a time, in the run up to x-mas and, every time he did, he acted all disappointed with how he 'couldn't hold on to surprise me on the day'. Seriously, he did that to me at least three times! And I fell for it, hook, line and sinker every time! So yeah, I'll be on my toes in future.

Anyways, gotta run sweetie!

Take care,
Raffy

Hi. um, I've just recently found your D/Hr Smut Vault, and lemme say, yum!
I hope you don't mind that I've friended you, as you seem very interesting. :)
Hope you've had a great Valentine's Day.

I'm glad that your Vday was fun, with your special someone. I mostly spent mine working on my final paper. Ew.
Well, I'm a college girl in CA, mucking around the HP fandom- trying to dabble in writing (not really working out) and mostly just squealing over the fantastically talented people here!
Other than that, I'm pretty darn boring. :P

Dont be silly! You're in college, that's supposed to be boring, all hard work and long hours writing pointless essays... at least until spring break comes around.

Hi! I'm not sure if you remember me or not but i thought i'd ask. I believe the last time we spoke was when your grandfaher passed away. I'm Aneesa (or, Neesa). I got a livejournal because...well, I was inspired. I started writing Dm/Hg fan fiction! I've written one story so far and i actually wrote it for you! I know how much you love them together (as do i...you'd have to be crazy not too). Well, just wanted to let you know i finally joined the community!

Welcome to livejournal, Neesa! I remember your kind words when grandpa died... they made me feel better, they really did.

But let's not dwell on that time for too long, especially when there is D/Hr to dwell on. You say you've written a fic? Where could I read it? *is breathless with anticipation* Can you please send me the link to where it's archived?

I saw your icon in the Draco/Hermione community, the KMS one, and I was wondering what it is from.

Le icon was made by my sis, from the movie Killing Me Softly.
