2.0 Kilopones · 1:00am Jun 5th, 2014
And lo, the great moderator Meeester looked down upon this bat, and saw that he was deserving of a reward for a long and prosperous career of writing tales of things that explode, sarcastic unicorns, and frenzied copulation. The moderator did grin, and spoke the holy word; "kek" unto the bat, and did click the sacred story-approving mouse button, and granted a single watching.
Thus, the bat ascended beyond the scope of mere mortals, into the promised land of two thousand pony friends.
But for real, you guys. From the bottom of my heart --- thank you. And a shout-out to my posse of legendary friends and fans:
Nathan Traveler, who has been with us since the very beginning. My first teacher and friend on this site, back in the day when I was still a wee, beardless knave. It was you who started this long, crazy trip. Look at me now, guy who shares our name.
Cloudhammer (who finally realized Fangwarden sounds stupid), another one of the oldest of my friends. He and I worked together on many things, and he was the flint that first sparked my interest in diamond dogs. See how that turned out?
MisterMoniker, undoubtedly my special somepony, whether he likes it or not. Collaborators on a story, brothers in the military service (bitch can't pull rank on me now, hah!) and probably the source of some of the best banter anywhere. This man has my utmost respect and admiration for his talents in comedic property damage and thinking outside the box. Also, he needs to get on that sequel.
Bad_Seed_72, for convincing me that incest is wincest. For some reason, I enjoy bothering her and she enjoys my idiocy. Also; has a huge, throbbing userpage. I fully expect your next clopfic to have a sex scene with everyone's favorite bat (moi) for this name drop.
Curran, for possibly the most enlightening conversation upon the origins of King Sombra there ever was. I bounced ideas off of you for weeks, and we basically wrote a story through PM's. Truly, you have an incredible imagination, and helped develop a lot of my own headcannon about the Crystal Empire.
Noble Cause, for your steadfast support, encouragement, and assistance in a variety of things. It ain't easy bein' steezy, but you make it look that way.
RavensDagger, for incredible assistance in the editing and proofreading of Dead or Alive, which I fully intend to finish one day. Also a great source of literary knowledge, both in the mechanical and applied aspects.
Oh, and Kinky Pie. You know what you did, you dirty whore.
rip oberyn you had the most metal death ever
2k watchers? On a fan fiction site...? Woah

BATPONE WINS

2175863 Am actually impressed, thats a LOT you know grats btw
2175864
Oh boy, someone actually did!
See what you've started?!
2175876
...
Uh, no? I'm still clocking him at 2,000. Also, do you even white text? It's not even true white.casual
2175883
Yeah, I saw the text. He did drop to 1,999 for a few seconds until I refreshed again.
I'm such a filthy casual.
2175888 One of these days I'll reply to someone in full white text just to see their reaction. Or if I even get a reaction.
Picks or no proof
2175876
It's like saying "WHATEVER YOU DO! Don't. Press. That. Button."
I got a certain pleasure out of following and unfollowing over the course of several minutes. Then I remembered that there is more to life than pressing buttons.

That's like saying there's more to life than living.
Some here.
Huzzah! May you live on to fill our reading holes with your hot sticky stories!
2175901
Shut your whore mouth.
Have you ever played any Borderlands games? Because you seem to make me think of Sir Hammerlock.
2175916
I have. I can assure you though, I am not British, nor a gentleman, nor a scholar, nor a big game hunter, and certainly not a cyborg.
Dearest sexy:
It's the least I can do, stud muffin~ I'm happy to help whenever you need!

Cloudhammer went back to Cloudhammer? I knew something seemed right the last time I saw a story update from him.
Congrats on 2K, you crazy bastard!
D'awwwww, you.
Lol, batpony clopfic? This is something I can do. 
2175905
Stop making me blush guys, it's not fair! N-not like I like you or anything... B-baka!
2 K Horray! Time to be proud today! Trying to find a 2000 image worthy for this moment but all I keep finding are Y2K referances... uh... yay?
2175915 yes mistress
2175984
Yes, yes, let the incest flow through you. You already got me writing R63 M/M incest, so your powers must be growing stronger! There's no stopping you now!
2176008
I miiiiiight have even more incest planned.
I can't stop!!!
2176020
It's already too late for me. And soon, you too, Rust, shall be writing incest as the one true wincest before too long.
2176031
Yesssss!
More of the wincest OTP shall be made!!!
Congrats on reaching the mighty 2k, you crazy, lovable, and very disturbed individual.
How shall I deliver the celebratory hookers, my lord?
Oh you, you know that you'd have come up with Echo without me
. And I still like Fangwarden, but decided the time had come to reassume my true identity. Hoping my muse comes back so I can make more horsewords.
This needs a toast.
*Raises a bottle of vodka* Here's to that one guy who writes about magical rainbow horses. Whether his stories be about everything from a mute mutt with a severe case of wanderlust, to a bounty hunter who likes blowing shit up, to a Mary Sue whose story got canceled, to a batpone with a badass eye patch, to the most adorable goddam crime lord ever, to a farmer and a doll who do the nasty, we will always enjoy reading whatever he puts out.
To Rust, may his days be filled with booze and women. Cheers!

2175916 Have you ever played any of Valve's games? I don't know why, but something about you seems to remind me of them...
2177659 I may of once or twice. I cant recall.
Can't believe I missed this shit.
CONGRATS ON THE BOUNTY OF FOLLOWERS, YOU FUCK. And thanks for shoutin' me out even if I haven't been around.
