== Background ==
Draco Dormiens was posted serially to FanFiction.Net starting in August 2000.This post by Heidi and Ebony (as ritaskeeterdp) quotes Claire from August 10, 2000 on FanFiction.net saying: "This is my first ever fic, so please review. If people like it, I'll continue the story, if everyone hates it…well, I won't!" Presumably, this was an author's note on the first chapter of Draco Dormiens. (Posted 10 April 2001, accessed 08 April 2013.) It was Claire's first fanfic and was not originally intended to be part of a series.Cassandra Claire at ParadigmOfUncertainty. Re: Shameless Draco Sinister Plug.... Posted 02 October 2000. (Accessed 08 April 2013.) WebCite. In a 2005 interview, Claire recounted:
:"I wrote quite a bit of Draco Dormiens before I ever posted it -- it was a gift for a friend of mine, who asked me to write her a short story about Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter. I did. She told me it was fanfiction and I ought to post it to ff.net - so I did. [...] I was very inspired by the fan feedback once I started posting Draco Dormiens, so I think that probably had something to do with my excitement about finishing the story. It felt like a really fun communal experience, with people weighing in about plot points and romantic outcomes."Alyssa Jackson. Writing On A Burn: A Cassandra Claire Interview. 11 April 2005.

==Comments by MsScribe: "My Dumb Ass Letter To Cassandra Claire"==
An early encounter between MsScribe and Cassandra Claire: This letter by MsScribe was written just after a previous letter, and includes two anonymous comments that are possibly by Fermatojam, making this an early appearance of a MsScribe sockpuppet. From a section of The Ms.Scribe Story (The Ms.Scribe Story: "On February 26, Msscribe related her real-life encounter with a homophobic Nutty Christian in her delightful "Baby Dykes and Luxury/Budget Motels" post [...] This adorable post got the newbie Msscribe a lot of attention and her friended-by list jumped from about 5 people to 20-something (see her Joule here). On March 3, she posted "My Dumb Ass Letter To Cassandra Claire". I highly recommend you click on this downloaded copy and read the post and its comments. It has all the classic Msscribe elements -- profuse praise of Cassandra Claire, hilarious stories about her chaotic homelife, not-so-subtle references to her upscale lifestyle, a bit of free-spirited raunchiness, and -- most of all -- inexplicable constant attacks from anonymous hostile trolls. Msscribe received far more flames in her first three months in the fandom than most people receive in their entire fandom lives. And she was an innocent and inoffensive newbie writer of pleasantly spicy het stories. It's a strange world. Anyway, she received the following two anonymous comments for daring to praise Cassandra Claire: [...] Fermatojam, I presume?"
