What it feels like, to have accomplished all of your goals in life · 3:30am Nov 26th, 2014
This is Professor Plum.
This is Pav Fiera.
He's easily a 9, maybe even a 9.5
If I put more effort into my appearance, I could be a solid 4. At least, I'd like to think so.
He likes to pretend that he actually does things around here.
This one time I did a Let's Play and it was pretty cool.
He hasn't written a single horseword.
Like Chinese water torture, I've been slowly subjecting you to over 175,000 horsewords and counting.
Especially because he has not published any stories, he has always been highly amused by his large following. For over a year in counting, we've had the running gag that he has more followers than me, despite me actually trying to gain followers, and him not understanding what he's even being followed for.
>TFW 200 Follower Special before Plum
But seriously for a minute, a sincere thank you to each and every one of you. Around three years back, I never imagined I'd be writing horsewords, reviewing horsewords as a pseudo-site blogger, getting featured and praised by the likes of the RCL, or having even a dozen followers. I was just some guy who wanted to write a fic about a time-traveling rainbow horse. I said it to other people in that RCL interview, but I'm going to say it to you guys now: I don't show you guys as much appreciation as you deserve. Seeing those faves, that excitement when I come off de-facto hiatus, those wonderful comments where you're super engaged with what I wrote and you feel compelled to talk about it and offer your theories and tell me all the bits you liked and didn't like... That whole community that we have. It all makes me feel so... *blushes, mumbles inaudibly*
Anyway. You guys rock. I love each and every ones of yas. Thanks for the follow. I didn't deserve it, but I'll try to earn it anyway.
[X] 100 Follower Special: In which Pav talks to the voices in his head, and he proves once and for all that he sucks ass at drawing
[X] 200 Follower Special: In which Pav joke-attack-blogs a friend in a good-natured way but which probably toes the lines in terms of site rules anyway, and he undersells an actually noteworthy achievement
[ ] 300 Follower Special: ???
[ ] 400 Follower Special: ???
[ ] 500 Follower Special: In which Pav officially sells out and starts writing Featured Box bait, which he starts by publishing a fic entitled Sweetie Belle Is Stuck inside a Large Cardboard Box
Man, and there was a brief 2-3 day period where I was a couple followers ahead of both of you. Then suddenly Plum got a surge of followers and Pav gets an RCL feature.
Not cool.
:(
Pav, Pav. Have you learned nothing from me? You have to sell out to get to 500 followers in the first place.
Woo! Good going! You truly are a inspiration and role-model to all of us who get followers despite not writing horsewords.

There's still time to beat Plum to 200~

Ah, but if I had actually learned that lesson, I would have 500 followers. And if I had 500 followers, one could infer that I had learned that lesson. It's an airtight logic loop.
Two hundred little horsies in your herd. Enough to build your own Ponyville.
Though I think we'll be seeing the cardboard box first.

I'mma beat you both to 300.
You watch.
Well, what else is there to say, other than:

>be follower #200
Still holding you to that.
WHEN YOU SEE IT
ah, now I see what you were doing. :V
Oh Pav, don't be so hard on yourself! You're not a 4! 4.5 at least!
Come on Pav, don't delude yourself. You know you're only a 3.7 at best.
For srs though, keep doing your thing. And also, I only followed Plum cause I didn't have him followed and it left him at 199. So... seeya!
*runs off to continue not writing*
I don't even know how I have more followers than you, like, it's crazy. It's almost as if, by applying myself, I could be popular.
I made Plum hit 200. You may now commence with the firing me from my position as pre-reader, if you wish. I shall not blame thee in the slightest*.
*will blame you for all eternity and haunt you for so long as you live. And afterwards. For at least a century. Maybe even longer, provided that there's no pizza.
Life never turns out the way you expect, eh? Way to go Pav!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!
And say what, you capped your goals out at 500 followers? You can't do that bro, you gotta go all the way! Shoot for number one! That's what I plan to do.
JOIN ME, AND TOGETHER WE WILL RULE THE FANFICTION PONYVERSE!

Right, but I still haven't figured out the 300 and 400 specials. That would require being creative
and being creative is hardwhich is precisely the thing I am good at.2617150
That's the spirit!
Besides, creativity is for the birds.
So 20th century.
Ahem

I can verify that this is indeed true. The secret is to disregard all attempts at quality and simply write as much crap as you can, as quickly as you can.

I know. It doesn't make any sense that the sequel is higher rated.
2617150 You are also good at ending sentences in prepositions! Yeas.

Dammit guys. You couldn't even let me have this one thing.
