((Feel free to delete if your not into ooc on your journal.))

Nice facts and welcome to the comm. Twelve made myself and one of the other mod's giggle. Also, loved your Mark Twain license artistic post.

It's still a new comm and theres not a lot going on there yet, but were getting there. Feel free to tag my Harry whenever. He talks to TV show muses, though hes a bit perplexed by the "other" Chicago.

Thank you, both for the welcome and the kind praise. :) I'm afraid I've been a bit lax with Bob's license artistic prompts because I've been concentrating on finishing a few Bob prompt tables for fanfic50, but I'm going to make an effort to be a bit more on the ball.

I love the idea of a Dresden-centric RP comm and came running over as soon as Lara-mun pointed it out to me. Thank you, too, for the invite to tag your Harry. I'm still not certain how the book-verse muses feel about the tv-verse counterparts, especially when they're so divergent (Bob/Hrothbert is clearly *not* air elemental Bob, for instance).

Lara's mun heaped tons of praise to me on your behalf and I think the TV!Murphy mun probably squeed when your request to join the comm came in.

I think you'll find most of the Book!typists TV friendly, one of them even has muses in both verses and I look forward to reading your stuff.

Thank you. To be honest, I'd never heard of TDF until the series (I started watching it for Terrence Mann). I fell in love with the characters and immediately went to the original source. I'm now as much a fan of the books as the series and try to put a bit of both in my fics. I have to admit that, while I enjoy book!Bob, he'll always pale by comparison to the tv!Bob (but then, I'm a wee bit biased).

This may be of interest (or not):

Saxon names like Hrothbert fell out of common use in Britain not long after the Norman Invasion in 1066. So if, say, Bob was born in that same year, he would be 942 years old in 2008.

Oh my! Yes, that is a wonderful little fact. Thank you! :) I was picturing him to be alive around the time of Steven and Maude's argument over the throne, but I do so like 942 better. It was actually one of Jim Butcher's interviews with the SciFi channel where he mentioned Bob was 800. Then another interview he says Bob is 500. Hence the comment about a discrepancy in his age.
