got featured.
Proof:
Maybe there's hope for me yet.
forgive me I'm still reading Immortal Rain still.
5723214 11k words is not something to scoff about. Take all the time you need.
35 unchecked pm messages and over 3k in feed (the middle globe option). So if I sent you a pm message, would it take a long time to expect a response?
Congrats on the feature for the new story, btw. 👍
Haunting picture for the cover of your story, but also appropriate. Does this have anything to do with Swamp Fevor disease?
5723216 Nah, I'd respond to you immediately. I just choose to ignore all the death threats and the like.
have you tried a comedy clop?
5723218 I should probably stop writing for myself and write for the populace instead. Comedy clop does sound like a recipe for winning.
Congratulations Bad Dragon!
5723226 It's funny, actually. I was just about to hang my writing quill if this story failed as my last 2 stories failed. Maybe there are some redeeming features in me yet.
Congrats! It took me over 8 years to finally get a story featured but then in December of 2021 I got three of them featured and then again in January of 2022 with "Winter Storm Izzy." I know how it feels to have stories that don't do so well....along with ones that do good but don't hit the featured box.
5723217
Fair enough, and understandable. Didn't account for contents of the letters. In that case, you can just delete or ignore the unwanted ones.
5723215
Well that's the answer, people just don't like eseys in form of short stories
5723250 As pathetic as it sounds, getting featured on this site was my life's goal.
And now that I've achieved it, I could become a tree without regrets.
5723291 You're right about the feed, I should probably use it more; but it's nothing like it used to be. Just a month ago, I had over 200k messages in there.
5723292 It's ironic, but I tried to win a writing competition with that one. To enter, however, there was a minimal word count far above the one on Fimfiction.

I know how you feel about getting featured. The bad thing with me is that it was self-insert clop that got me featured three times in one month. It took a while for me to get a story with substance "Winter Storm Izzy" featured....of course that was because of good timing.
5723310 What is your goal now that you've achieved your spot in the featured box?
5723346
1,000 followers.
5723348 I'm the Fimfiction champ, you know? I bet you can't beat me.
Oh, you already have...
5723350
I know exactly how to get them too but the bad thing is, I haven't been in the right mindset to write those kinds of stories for a while.
5723351 Well, you're not far off, so you'll get them eventually, anyway. But what then? What do you do when there's nothing left to do?
5723357
Keep writing, keep providing my followers with material.
Hell yeah! Congrats, dude!
5723381 Sounds like a plan.
5723400
Well, I guess throw enough darts at the target, one of them is bound to stick to the bullseye.
5723898 After so many publish stories, I think it was about time. Took me a lot of misses along the way, though.
5723907
Yeah. But whether you keep up the pace is another story altogether. Not to mention building up a good reputation with the audience. Let's face it man. People have a hard time taking a fanfic author seriously especially when they're known to be a troll and such. Just saying man.
But hey whatever happens, happens.😅
5723910 I doubt I could fix my reputation in any way after all this time. It might explain why my stories sometimes get bombed with downvotes though.
5723957
Well...yeah. but it's never too late to start. Sure it's going to be an uphill battle. But hey it'll all be worth it once you reach to the top. Just have to work at it and still determine and all that jazz. And if all else fails then just create a new account and start with a clean slate or whatever. Just tone down the trolling and don't pissed off the wrong people and whatnot. You know deal. With that said, good luck, you're going to need it, friend. 😄😅
5724208 A lot of luck will be needed, indeed, if I am to exorcise trolling out of me because
I yam what I yam what I
Yam and I yam what I
Yam and that's all that I yam
'cause I yam what I yam
and there's lots of trolling to be done
5724235
Still needs more work.😅
