Not that I'm bragging or anything · 12:07am Jul 10th, 2012
The first-anniversary banner (featuring The Great and Powerful Trixie) notes that 220 million words have been posted here, presumably in the form of stories. This means that I have read ... wait for it ... one percent of the entire site!
At this rate, I'll have read it all in four years, assuming nopony posts any more stories. (Please ignore that last remark.)

I offer you my heartfelt congratulations, sir.
One percent of FimFiction's success is credited to you.
The scary aspect of this, if you ask me, is that since I established some semblance of a Web presence, I have written well over four million words - and yet I can't get more than a thousand or so to act like a proper story. Evidently what talent I have is assembled more for speed than for style.

Although, if you did put together the motivation to write a story, I would be extremely grateful. Your writing style is unique from every other writer on this site.

I haven't mentioned it here - why ask for trouble? - but I do have a back-burner story project going, though it's only about a thousand words so far and every time I add three, I seem to be changing two others. It might be better than some things that do appear here, but it's a long way from being top-drawer stuff. And the premise is dubious: Twilight Sparkle finds what she thinks is a portal, which dumps her in my driveway, and she must remember to get back into the proper location after half an hour so that her Retrieval Spell will work. (No, she will not get stuck among the humans. But she will be curious enough to come back a few times.)

I'm all for it.
Keep writing, but only post if you want to. Don't listen to little ol' me.
Well, I have a beginning, and I think I have an ending. It's getting from Point A to Point Whatever-It-Is that's going to be tricky.
And if it comes out Not Horrible, I may submit it after all.

Then I say good luck to you, sir!
