I can sorta relate. I'm not a full 1000 miles away, but far enough that it makes it really hard to get away to her for more than a weekend, maybe two, a month. We try to stay in daily contact via IM, or phone calls (We both have contracts that allow for 80+ minutes a month of free long distance.) and there's our shared LiveJournal... Some things I've done, although I've never done them regularly: Trading video tapes back and forth. (Aakasha wrote a wonderful short story involving this sort of long distance scening...) Where the dominant sends a video to the sub, commanding them through their paces.... and the sub is to videotape themselves watching the tape, and performing the commands on it.... then sending THAT tape back to the Dom.... Sure, maybe web cams would be easier, but somehow the clunkiness of the tap exchange just seems to make it hotter.... Making personal mix discs of new, favorite music. Stuff that makes you think of them, or them of you... or doing specific things to you.... Sending them books, clippings, short stories that you've read and found interesting.... Does he have a particular cologne, or you a particular perfume? Send each other samples. "Packages from home" of cookies, cakes, home made recipies, soup mixes.... hell, even coupons or gift cards.... Generally, anything that makes them realize that they have been on your mind.... or that you've been on theirs.
