TWO. MILLION. WORDS. · 11:45am Feb 21st, 2019

I know this might not mean a lot to some of you, but I really wanted to mark this moment since it's a big deal to me.

As of this morning, I have officially published over Two Million words worth of content on FimFiction.

The last time I made an announcement like this was back in the beginning of 2017, when I managed to reach the One million word mark in less than three and a half years. And obviously, considering how I managed to double that amount in just over two years this time, it shows just how much I've improved since that time. But still, despite my productivity and dedication to such a... niche craft that likely doesn't matter to much outside this website, I have to express my deepest thanks to each and every one of my readers for following me throughout the years. Your kind words, helpful advice & suggestions, generous patronage, and unexpected friendships mean absolutely everything to me; and considering how significantly this website affected my life since I joined almost 6 years ago, I couldn't imagine where I'd be if I didn't discover such a vibrantly creative fandom. And with that being said, I can safely say that I have absolutely no regrets about contributing so much for FimFiction, as well as for all of you. :)

Now then! As per my promise at the beginning of the year, I decided to mark this milestone in my writing the same way I had back in 2017. When I reached the One Million word mark on FimFiction, I got myself my very first tattoo to celebrate the occasion. Since then, I managed to get two more tattoos that meant a lot to me for other reasons (both of which can be found in my blogs if you type "tattoo" in the search bar). However, unlike that first time getting inked, I decided to get this celebratory piece a little earlier .

Last week on February 13th, I took advantage of my paid week off work to get my tattoo, and allow it to heal before I started up work again. I got the piece from Hearts of Fire tattoo in my hometown, and I wanted to wait until my word count was officially published before unveiling it to all of you! So without further ado, here's tattoo number four on my body, and the second to commemorate my writing prowless:

(sorry for the potato quality. My phone is an Android)

That's right! Since I use the Tilde symbol so much in my writings, I decided to make it that much more significant for me. I might get the piece touched up in a week or so, but I couldn't be happier with how well-done the tattoo turned out overall. It really means a lot to me to get something like this made, and to have such a profound moment immortalized on my body. Season 9 might mean the end for the MLP series overall (at least Gen 4), but rest assured that I'm not going to stop writing anytime soon. Even if I eventually branch out into other fandoms alongside MLP, I intend to continue this tradition as the years pass. And who knows? Maybe Gen 5 will garter even more fabulous content for me to continue my work for all of you~ So for the time being, let's all just celebrate what we have as friends, and enjoy the ride while the tracks are still ahead of us.
