Since I found this site. That's right, it's my 1 year anniversary of being on this site. And damn if it ain't been quite the journey, yeah?
And in that time, I have:
Published 6 stories. (Of decent enough quality. Save for Radioactive, I'm proud of that one.)
Created 23 Blog posts. Many of which got pretty good receptions.
Gained, somehow, 322 followers. Still not sure for what... I just read'n'comment.
Faved 1602 stories. And read them allllllll.
Read an unheard of 500 million words. At least... That's the average I get from trying to figure it out... Probably horribly off, so take it with a grain of salt, yeah?
Achieved 10 out of 29 on my To Do list. Which is cool, indeed.
And met more kickass people than I could have ever expected to meet.
Seriously. This has been a treat, finding this site. Meeting you guys and reading your fics... Best time of my currently crappy life! I mean that.
Still, I do have a few people I'd like to tip my hat to... They'll forever be better than I:
These guys have probably been a few of the greatest people I could know, and they were the ones who helped me get my start to becoming the the guy you all know today. There's more, but, I simply don't have the room to show you. Or time. Mostly time.
Well, I suppose there's not much else for me to say... Except... Would you mind...
Allow me to reintroduce myself.
My name is Skeeter. Skeeter The Lurker of FimFic.
I am the resident reader of this grand site, and also the resident nice guy as well.
Never stop writing, and I'll never stop reading. I'll leave a comment, and I'm always happy to have a chat.
I'm not hard to talk to, nor am I hard to get ahold of (the Do Not Disturb on my Skype is simply to stop the dinging). Yes, I know the command to stop the individual chat notifications, I'm too lazy to type it in. Drop a comment on my page or PM me or just shoot me a message through Skype or Steam. I'll respond to each of them, guaranteed.
I'm a pre reader by trade, and love to figure out plots with people, want help? Just ask.
It's a pleasure to meet you all, and I hope to speak to you soon. But for now...
Have a good day!

It been a joy spending this year (or so) we've met. Have a good day too, Skeeter The Lurker.
How many words do you read per minute?
I've been here a fair bit longer than you have, and I just hit the 800 mark a couple days ago.
Not that it really matters anyway.
One year, eh? You should put on a Suit & Tie, go out on the town and Take Back The Night.
(What am I doing...)
He's more like Skeeter the Omnipresent now. In any case, happy site B-Day. This is also the day I can deliver your XCOM gift.
Coincidence?
Yes.
Live, Learn, Let go

Congrats on the year anniversary, and holy hell you read a lot. I'm glad to have know you, Skeeter. Stay awesome.
Hey cool I got mentioned
I feel quite honored somehow, Skeets.
Also my face is right beneath Derpy's naked butt... I agree with that
You handsome motherfucker, stay classy.
Happy "birthday"! And congrats on the 300 followers! It's amazing what you've done over the past year. I mean, over 1,000 stories?

Thank you all for the kind words.
Here's to another year of awesomeness!

500 million words comes out to an average of 951 words per minute and that's if you red all day everyday. So calculating eight hours for sleep, an hour or two for whatever it comes out to about 1630 wpm... I call false.
Also, how the heck did you calculate because I got: total site word count (867,677,121)/ total story count (57643) = average word count (15053). Which when multiplied by 1620 gives you 24,385,215 words read... Which based on the stories I've seen you commenting on it's probably a great deal higher than that but I doubt it's anything over 50-70 million.
Sorry about mathing all over the place, welcome to the one year club.
1404774
Like I said.
Probably horribly wrong. Take with a grain of salt.

Also that would equal 1.37 million words per day on average.
That's like reading Diaries of a Madman in a single day plus 40K.
