I need some answers! *chews gum and looks at From man to mare views rising constantly* · 11:41pm Aug 17th, 2014
I've already concluded that my followers are either mostly dead(more bodies for necromancy projects!) or are too preoccupied with others things to read my stories...oooorrrrr answer my questions...or read the blogs asking questions and answer the questions..or bother to notice the blog because who am. Who am, Samaru? Who am? I've also accepted that my stories won't be viewed like they were in the past where I'd get quite a few hundred in a short while and several comments (I love reactions! So inspiring and constructive...most of the time), but this is only being written so that this doesn't seem like a complaint...again. What I need to know is, WHERE are you people constantly seeing Fmtm from? What source are you seeing it from?! A group here? A site somewhere I don't know? Everytime I'm awaiting a notification just for fun, someone favorites it and I don't know where they come from. Is there a secret society dedicated to reading it as a rite of passage?
It is still kinda disheartening to see the last two not getting any views. I guess only the stronk can get through this pilgrimage!
stack of stories to read and one I'm supposed to me working on
Damn... I was hoping no one would notice the pattern in my killing spree....
I mean uh...wow, I wonder where everyone went?
I think the main thing is a lot of the hype and interest in the show died down, like a ton. I think in general people have moved onto new things that they find on the internet.
Hmm... i haven't read your last two stories and that's because... well, they didn't seem to be very interesting to me... to be brutally honest, i guess i never gave them a chance in the first place, because now that i think about it i didn't even finish reading the description of them.
Your last one... i read till "dragonborn" and was like "Nope, not gone read it!"... yeah i'm not that much into Elder Scroll... and the other one with the death... it just appeared to be so dark and i could almost feel the moral sledgehammer floating above me, ready to mercilessly strike me down. But all i wanted to read then was something nice and lighthearted... so i ignored the comedy tag and read something else... that may sound harsh and heartless but that's how it went ... i'm sorry
might give them a look, but RL shit loves getting in the way
I like your elder scrolls story. I've been fighting a dragon and I thank it is dead now, so that is why I haven't been commenting. OH GOD THE DRAGON IS STILL ALIVE!!!!!! KILL IT!!! KILL IT!!!! KILL IT!!!! OH NO NOT THE FACE!!!!! AAAAAHHHH!!!!
I've been busy... very busy... what's wrong with the notification number? Why is it a bunch of lett- oh... wow, i've been gone a long while.
I've never heard of from man to mare. I just follow people I like because of stories or comments not to actually know when new stories come out so I guess I just didn't notice the new stories. I'll put the two newest stories on my read later.
I've been away from fic reading for the last.... 5 months or so, it's not that I dislike your stories, just.... I got 401 chapters in my favourites and 100 or so stories, most of them with hundreds of chapters and in there, I got about 6 Megafics where one chapter is 10k words long or more and said fics have dozens or more chapters as well as about three of those that are NOT complete..... basically, I've got stories for the next 3 years to read and it discourages me..... that's where I went
2378463 But...but...you don't even need to know the Elder Scrolls. I'm explaining the tiny bits you need to know anyways...
2380176
But... but... people useing capslock as a weapon... only Luna may have that power! Well maybe i should give it a try...
... great now i have that mental image a filly Luna with a comical oversize dovahkiin helmet... that's even worse then dovahkiin-fluttershy! -_-
2380210 I think that's just the iron helmet. It's one of the worst pieces of equipment in the game.
2380288
But it is kinda iconic, isn't it
2380322 Sure, but that's the helmet.
Here's the Daedric armor set:
img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111119214229/elderscrolls/images/archive/2/26/20111209055251!Daedric_Armor_%28Skyrim%29.jpg
2380392
Sure it looks nice and all but i, as someone how hasn't played the game, can't put any meaning to it. Without context i may have not realize it's from the game at all even, and assumed it's from some random mmo... but with the cheap armor you think: "Wait a minute, isn't that the guy with the dragons, who constantly shouts and has arrows in the knee... that's him right? right!"
2380531 Daedra armor is armor from Oblivion. Oblivion is hell and Daedra are demons, so it's demon armor. You forge that weapon by tossing their hearts into a melting pit of ebony. Others would buy them. I go to a shrine where they're art and rip them to shreds to pry that heart out of their diaphragm. No mercy for the demons. Feast on their flesh and drink their tainted souls to torture them forever.
I ran across your series several months back and rather enjoyed reading them. If it wasn't I wouldn't have read/favorited/up-voted them. But this DID remind me to hit the watch button.
2380795 It's not that. I'm not upset. Where did you see them? I'm just co,fused as to where people are seeing them.
2382152
I think I personally found you on someone's favorite's list. possibly samaru's.
as for reading stories, I have been so absorbed in to playing FF14ARR I have been getting maybe 1-2 chapters of stories i follow read per week, I was down to 170 unreads now i'm up to 205
2382178 SHAMEFUR DISPRAY!
2382287
i'm sorry... though I'm not sure if your upset that i'm behind on my followed stories, i haven't been reading yours, or that i haven't been working on mine.

explain pwease?
2382152
I did a search for all Human tagged stories, then went to the end of the list, and I have been slowly working my way forward since then. That was.....oh.....4 or so months back
2382375 warosu.org/data/tg/img/0329/73/1403640742238.png
2382513 Ah...
2382513 I hope you can read 500k words a day if your reading them all, that is a lot of stories.... also the list search system doesn't seem to actually give all stories with that tag, been some stories I had seen in the past, tried to find them using tags and key word searching. never brought them up.
2382517 i think your just trolling me now.....
2383310 Of course not.

Never said it was a perfect system, and I do deviate often like checking the front page, or chasing down sequels or linked stories others have suggested. But I have made good progress thusfar, especially considering the sizes of some stories on my list, like Blue Angel or The Lost Element
2383395 Okay, what the fuck? I understand stories having 100k words to be like a novel, but the fuck is this? 700k?! You don't smash them all in one! No one is going to read so much for ONE BOOK! It's far too intimidating! They should've cut those into sequels! That's enough for seven novels!
2383446
Would this be a bad time to point out I have read each of those at least 3 times?
2383446 I think diary of a madman is at 1.5 million words.

I think the shortest time I spent reading one of those was 2-3 days solid reading or so, depending on the level of distractions I encountered of course.

2383615 the laughs I get from you.
2383665 I can't wait for his next reaction.
2383884
The truth is quite amusing at times
2383665 Oh. That one. I remember when it was first published. Seriously. How do you get that much in a story? You're basically beating a stick with a dead horse at that point.
2385110
Simple, I enjoy reading it, and every time I re-read a story, I catch the small details I overlooked the first time in my enjoyment. Seeing the various ideas and headcannon is quite interesting, and then, finding that some are having similar headcannons is quite the thing, especially when its by different authors.
I will use Lyra as a example; in most cases shes seen as a human fanatic, always going on about the mythical humans that nopony has ever seen as if she read a reference book full of facts. In two instances she is anything but this, the first and best case to see this is in the story Xenophilia where she is a Grand Master in the Still Way unicorn fighting style, and a auxillary guard member who is quite good at her job.
A similar styling of Lyra can be found in the story Celestia Sleeps In.
But since I think your referring to the diary, I wouldn't be able to properly answer, I haven't read that one yet.
But this does remind me to at some point jump into your story list and see whats there.
2385330 I didn't ask you why you read them...I asked how you can fish out that much for a single setting. I already know you enjoyed them. Why else would you read them?
2385406
Oh thats simple, because I can!
