That feeling... · 9:36pm Apr 27th, 2013
Well now, this is my first blog for this site and possibly ever to my knowledge but my memory is usually in shambles so I don't really know. Who really cares, right? There's a first time for everything.
As I'm writing I started thinking about well known stories, stuff like Fallout: Equestria, My little Dashie etc. I started browsing through the many different groups and what do you know? There are folders about those stories containing sequel's and other things based on them or inspired. We all started out as small writer's who just wrote for the fun of it or because it's just something we really like to do, right? For whatever reason we write we write we all started out small, in my eyes none of us really expect to get as much attention as we would really hope for, so take what I just said and put yourself in the author's shoes.
As time goes on you find out that you've had a large following and inspired so many other's with that piece of writing you've done and now you're one of the most well known writer's who people talk about. You get things like:
"You heard of Fallout: Equestria?"
"Of course I heard about Fallout: Equestria!"
or
"Have you read My little Dashie?"
"Of course I have, I even cried after finishing."
I can only imagine how the writer's must felt when they first discovered their writing's have become extremely popular, heck, Fallout: Equestria has so many additions I can't even count. I've seen it on Equestria Daily quite a few times myself so it's definitely out there with it's own fanbase.
I guess what I'm saying is that it must be liberating to know you've done such a good job, to the point where people are talking about it, getting inspired, crying. Just loving your work and spreading the word. It makes me happy when I think about the success of those author's and what they've managed to accomplish, because I know it must feel good, there's more I want to say but it's kind of hard getting everything in your mind to translate through your fingers or hands. I just don't know the exact words to describe that feeling...I just wonder what it feels like.
