We almost hit three milestones at the same time there.

1,000,000 hits on Fimfiction alone.

8,000 comments.

Unfortunately, we're just shy of 4,000 upvotes, so we'll have to settle for 2 out of 3.

As always, thanks for reading! Hopefully there will be more hiatus content soon!

I had no idea what I had.

I thought that if I was lucky, and the ideas flowed enough, that I'd get 26 chapters out. An entire season of parody.

And here we are, more than 100 chapters, and more than 1,000,000 hits later.

There sure were a lot of them, and I've had the time and comedic mindset to compose responses to 24 of them.

Apologies in advance if I didn't get to yours. I either didn't have time, or couldn't figure out how to respond humorously.

Letters' 2nd anniversary is tomorrow! Looking forward to celebrating it.

There goes that idea for the Rainbow Rocks letter.

Thank you so much guys.

Wow.

There are no words.

Actually, there are words.

But with needing to be up in 7 hours, with 230 hits to go, I don't think that's gonna happen.

So time to open up that $40 pen and pack of parchment. It's nearly time.

...what I've been planning for the million hit milestone that Letters is certain to cross in the next few weeks.

Well, today after lunch, I went and got my materials needed.

Overnight, Letters became the 69th Most Viewed story on Fimfiction.

Getting this close to 1,000,000 hits, I'm checking the counters quite frequently.

983,264 as of this writing.

Yesterday, 'Maud Pie' brought enough traffic to Letters that it broke its 2014 daily hit record, with 7,770, inching one out over the previous record of 7,750 when I posted Filli Vanilli.

I took 30 minutes and tallied up all the hits from all existing chapters on DeviantArt (I stopped posting Letters there shortly after Season 4 began). 7,524. So it's obvious why I stopped; the traffic DA gave me over the span of more than one and a half years, Fimfiction gave me in just a day.

Attention readers of Letters From A Disgruntled Friendship Student:

I have decided to bring back an oft-requested reader event for my most popular story. Many of you voiced your disappointment when you missed the last one, and asked me if I was ever going to do it again.

That's right, I'm planning another chapter consisting of letters from the readers!

Letters fans! Since I clearly cannot make a poll filled with 99 chapters, I'll merely ask you outright.

What is your favorite chapter in Letters From A Disgruntled Friendship Student?

Bonus awesome points if you can tell me why.

Because the cover changes every now and then.

Yeah, finally took that image that I found awhile ago and slapped some text on it. Quite fitting, no?

I rarely drink. So I thought I'd treat myself to some whiskey and soda on the Saturday after Titanfall releases (I've never been drunk). So at first, I decide to start playing and drinking after everyone leaves after the pony episode.

Then of course, that devolves into not waiting for everyone to leave. Then drinking during the episode. Then, thanks to Zach, drinking BEFORE the episode, to see how it affects my letter.

Oi vei.

I half-expected this to happen. With Brady here last week, and for another week, my writing has taken a back seat.

By the way, Happy Hearts and Hooves Day everypony. Go do your school teacher a favor and hook them up.

But yeah. Simple Ways is sitting at 238 words, is not done yet, I leave for work shortly, and will be going out to dinner with Brady afterwards.

Maybe I can finish it up tonight with another run through the episode.

By going over to the "Most Comments" tab of the Browse menu, you will now find Letters in the 10th position.

Soon to be #9.

Holy cow.

This one's gonna be hard, and I'd rather it not be a dud. Check back later in the week.

Well, after telling me that he needs to be nagged to get work done, I went and did just that. So now, we have another hilarious voicemail rendition of Letters!

I'll put part 1 up too for those that haven't seen it yet.

So I turn 26 today.

A brony friend treated me to a chinese buffet today, and today, I bought a Play and Charge Kit for my Xbox One, a new pair of mittens (I'm told mittens are better than gloves for cold weather), and a new fleece balaclava, so my silk balaclava can only be used for cosplaying.

And I also commissioned a custom cover for Fractured Elements.

I just get the feeling that they could be a bit deeper if I took a day or two. A reader pointed out that a handful of Season 4 letters have been less about the insane story of the Disgruntled universe and more cheesy one-liners. Funny or not, he has a very good point.

In other news, I'm working on the first chapter of the Fractured Elements expansion, which is seeing some more scenes added to it.

This weekend saw Letters surpass 750,000 hits.

And that's without counting DeviantArt's numbers, which I have stopped keeping track of.

I'm beginning to think that seven digits by the end of Season 4 just may be possible.

Here's hoping!

And I've also got a pair of authors working on two separate spin-offs of it!
