Hello. I do things every now and then. Also, ponies.
That moment when you realize that your 114 unread chapters total over two hundred thousand words.
It sucks because the majority of my favorites are stories where I would normally drop everything to go and read because they're that good. A word of advice to the wise- don't let your chapter updates pile up.

Oh I hate when that happens.
I had to clear out my favorites. I had about 1,000 unread updates.

But... but I can't clear any of these out! I already cleaned my favorites out two weeks ago, and I didn't add anything new!
I know how you feel
I caught up a bit but I still have 68 chapters to read with commonly about 8000 words per chapter.
But, aside of the fact that I keep playing too many games, I kind of keep writing on Lost Radiance.

Because I have 1641 update to read :D.

Probably need to do that, although if I really wanted to, I might be able to read all of mine in a month of two of passive reading...
I have about 1641 story updates to read. Of that, 10% I probably won't like anymore. Of that, 40% have the status of, "must read." If I can read an average of 40k words an hour (sometimes up to 60k, depending on how awake I am) and each story update averages at 3k words, I think I'm screwed
...4923000 words to read...
...about 100 hours of reading (probably more)...
...Add in the fact that some are still updating...

And I thought I was in bad shape!

Eh, it's not too bad. I'm just worried about that 500k monster The End of Ponies that makes me suffer from feels (chapter 8/52-- I think I can do it...). Anymore stories like that and I'll probably die from an overload of feels :C.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I'm on like chapter 6 or 7 of EoP. I don't know if I'll ever finish it... but I'll try.

I'd recommend trying to finish it. One you get to chapter 8 and the whole, "Time is immutable" thing, you kinda get mad though. Psh, people always say something's impossible, yet they're proven wrong by a brave person who can actually push through that barrier (you'll know what I'm talking about after chapter 8). Still, I know Skirt's style, and I know there's no way the Cataclysm can be undone. I kinda hear an epic song at that point, as Scootaloo's goal is now to fix something that will at least allow others to live in a better world, even if it is absent of ponies... not sure what song though. Maybe One Final Effort (that Halo 3 soundtrack that opens with the piano) or another song that has that tinge of finality. If you've already gotten the time thing, I kinda have a crazy thought, but I'd rather not spoil chapter 8 (or is it 9?) if you haven't read it, though.
Just a question: do you experience any feelings such as: sadness, agony, and/or despair when reading it? Trying to figure out why the heck it can actually make me sad (I'd put it up there with the movie I Am Legend) which is really interesting, considering that only a few professional novels have been able to move/connect with me on such a level. Not sure if it's because Skirts is an amazing writer, the premise of the story is incredibly moving (two goddesses "died." That Cataclysm must have been pretty intense. I'm just wondering if they're still alive in a spirit form since Scootaloo never finds their bodies in the Canterlot ruins...) or a multitude of things, but it's highly confusing to me.

tbh, I don't remember. I haven't read anything from it since, like, over a year ago... I just remember that it was pretty good.
1034229
That's usually a good indicator that it was a good story. If you ever get time, I'll read it at the same pace as you or something. It makes the story a lot more interesting if you have someone to speculate over it with. Meh, anyway: do you use Skype at all? If you do, could I add you? I promise I don't bite... I only go through an existential crisis every 3 minutes
...wait...
