Farewell, 2013. *BANG!* Hello, 2014. Happy New Year! · 5:18am Jan 1st, 2014
Well, time to take 2013 behind a shed and use a 9mm pill to put the old girl out of her misery.
*BANG!* Now for the dedications.
Nahmala: I love you. Thanks for being my editor, my support, and my lover.
Sayer: Thanks for being a friend, editor, and fellow nerd. You've been excellent company.
The Descendant: Because you're one awesome guy and writer. Thank you for even bothering with a nobody like myself, and being so cool IRL and here.
MrSing: My chief editor, partner in riffing, and comrade in ponies. I look forward to working more with you.
Spectre Crystaleye: The friend and sort of man I never expect to find, let alone make, in the brony community.
Bad Horse: Brainiest man on the site. I never miss your blogs.
Regidar: Commie loves you, hippie kid.
La Barata: Story talk man, and always a great source of lulz and friendship.
Midnight Dancer: Because you made the year more interesting, and it has been a pleasure making your acquaintance.
Electrexcessive: Good friend and fellow writer. Let's make this next one a great one.
RainbowBob: For just being cool as is possible for a sponge.
Simon O Sullivan: Great friend, company, and fellow research nut.
Draklox: You probably can't see this, but if you do, keep going and don't give up on yourself.
Mber7560: I am thrilled that I inspired you to write. Keep on going, my friend. PM me if anything comes up or if you want me to look at something.
Cobalt Drake: Coolest Marine on the site.
Knighty: For making the damn thing.
Shimmering Stallion: The review I wish I was.
EricKilla: The one with the best wit and sharpest tongue.
Equestrium: Never a dull thread with you around.
Obselesence: If I spelled that correctly, I'll be amazed. Cool writer, cool bro, and cool dude.
Lucky Seal: Always nice to see you. I probably got your name wrong. Sorry.
EVERYONE in WRITE and the Skype chat, whatever the fuck it's called now. You guys are my favorite partners in crime and ponies.
You guys in riff, even though I seldom show up nowadays.
Every single one of you, my 246 followers. At this time last year, I could not have envisioned being here. Thank you all so much. It would be impossible without you. Even though it might sound trite or robotic, it's not. I truly am grateful to all you guys who read, comment, fave, and vote on my stories. I could not be here without you.
And so, let's finish this with one of the most glorious sounds known to man.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year!
Acknowledged. Happy new year, K!
Happy New Year, Comrade!
Starting 2014 the way I was in 2013, for change is not always necessary, even when it's sought:
"review" should be "reviewer".
Understand this: Despite what some may consider of your stories, you have never held back with your reviewing, even in less critical reviews, showing distinct knowledge of the profession that I wish I had.
If you will take anything from this comment, let it be this: I may be the reviewer you wish you were, but without question, you made me refine my style, you made me understand that the criticality of every word sends its own message in a way that allows the author to truly 'learn' from the comment...
You helped to make me into the reviewer I am, today.

May your new year, be a prosperous and beneficial one.
Happy new year, you crazy Russian writer.
