    There are any number of culprits I could blame for not having written anything of late (aside from the barely-up-to-FIMFiction-standards 'In Which A Pony Gets Diabetes'). I could blame online roleplaying, webcomics, a lack of inspiration, issues with my RL energy, The Binding of Isaac, and so on and so forth. But instead I'm going to blame a number.

    3,060,386.

    That's how many words of stories on this site I have bookmarked to read later.

    That does not include stories I'm following (12 unread chapters at this point, with 30 notifications, some of which no doubt are notifying me of new stories by my favorite authors). That also does not count any words added to those stories after I bookmarked them.

    Over three million words of stories that I deem at least interesting enough to look at later.

    Thing is, I'm not sure there's going to be a later. That number has been going up, not down, of late.

    What I'm trying to say is, there is a lot of at least decent ponyfic out there, and instead of pining for me to write more of something or other, maybe you should go and enjoy some writing by authors who actually seem to be able to write prolifically, not just competently. Not that I'm going to say you can't compliment me or anything, but... wow.

    Three million.

    That's a big number.

    I'm not sure how much I've got marked still to be read, but apparently I've read a bit over five million words about ponies in the two months since I came here.

    And I thought my 667,784 was a lot...

    Geez laweez, how many stories is that? I've currently got around 70 sitting in my read later bin.

    ... Make that 71. Your story, The Monster Mash, looks particularly entertaining.

    Keep up what you're doing though, and I hope you'll find time to read some of my stuff when I post it. I'm already flattered that you are following me, though. :twilightsmile:

    Im a slowpoke, but I have this technique that I use for Aton of unread chapters. If the story has at most five unread chapters read those ones. Then you basically read five chapters a day until you have no more unread chapters. Hope it helps.

    LOL that's nothing I have over three hundred unread chapters in my tracking list and ten pages of read later stories.  They took away the read count but I think i'm up to 12 mil words read.
