Claiming Hermione

[ilkee]

I have sooooo many things to share, not the least of which is the overwhelming pride and gratitude I feel about the results of the smutastic_awards. I was rather overwhelmed by the number of nominations I received, and to have won First Place or Runner-Up in EVERY SINGLE ONE... well, I totally get that phrase "an embarrassment of riches" (at least I think I do. I

Broken furnace -- brrrr, indeed! Sorry about that!

Congratulations! I'd say you "cleaned" up, but there is something inherently dirty about what we do, LOL. And isn't it funny which categories make us happiest? Best Kiss, yay!!!

[ilkee]

I've spread my smut all over the place? Does that work? lol. Duuuuuuude, I've missed you. Where the hell have you been? And then, where the hell have I been?

Congratulations on your wins lulaluv! You are the rockinest!

Oh, so you're a smut slut? I see.

I've been on hiatus. Feels good, actually. I'll be back after the holidays.

Yeah, what's up with you? It's not like you've been around a lot lately either!

[ilkee]

Smut slut. lol. hehehe.

Yeah, so just read the Gentleman's Ticky Box. Fucking hell. I can't imagine for the life of me how you came up with an idea like that. And now I get it. I know what a fucking ticky box is. Heh - fucking ticky box.

And no I haven't been around. I've been checking, or rather skimming when I can, but I've been working my ass off - like 70 hour weeks, and am just finally returning to normal. Whatever that is. :)

oooh, CONGRAAATS!!!

woohooo!!!! and can't wait for the next chap! woot woot! :P

Thanks luv! Ditto to you too! As for how long, if it all works out right, it should be up by the 18th? (I think that's right, might be a day or two sooner.) It will be a very different morning after.

yay for the pretties!!!!! on one hand, i'm sitting here thinking 'yay! there's gonna be a new chapter of claiming hermione soon' but on the other hand i'm thinking 'no! my reviews are finally higher than hers again!' LMAO. I have come to terms that overall, you're going to kick the shit out of me, especially since i only have like 4 chapters left including the epilogue, but i was happy... and I'm going to beat keogh for like a year until she updates it again, lol. but then i'm sure that will pass me too, lol.

but yes... you completely deserved your pretties (which makes me think of hair stuff because that's what one of my friends has taught her daughters to call anything that goes in their hair, lol)for all of those categories.

lol! I love that you talk about the review numbers! Seems like a taboo subject. And who knows, CH's readers may be feeling a bit abandoned and not leave as much love this next time around. Okay, I can guarantee it won't be as much love as last time, cause that was my most reviews in one chapter ever and I am still floored by it. And hey, I personally think just being on the top ten list is like WHOA huge, and I think you have cemented your position there. :)

lol @ pretties being hair stuff. I totally know what you mean!

[redheadfaerie]

yes, i agree, it is a big deal, and i hope i'm on there for a while, but i'm sure some other dramione will come and take my spot some day (since it's mostly dramione now, lol). but it makes me happy. especially since i've started putting rob up on ff.net and there's an average of 2 reviews a chapter, lmao, but then again, people started reading it at ge because it was a challenge fic, and at ff they know nothing about that... it think what bugs me there is that literally almost ever review is an update soon, especially since some of the people have done that same review a few times over and i respond back telling them that im updating it every single day (which is another reason for less reviews, lol)... reviews make me happy, but i'd still be writing and posting if no one reviewed... i just might be wondering my worth. even if one person reviews liking it then its worth it because it made them happy, lol. but i think that's how most people feel and i don't belive them if they say otherwise. i am still amazed with the love for rob,

[ilkee]

Heee hee. I was wondering about that! Thanks for the tips on costumes though. Maybe dumbles will wear striped socks to the New Year's festivities. :)
