    Scratching Itch (Also, Where Do You Come From?)

    Wow, the votes were pretty scattered. Oh well, we had a couple come up above the rest. I have an idea that I will be working on when I can. Something quick and dirty, just for the sake of getting it out and posting something.

    Have an Itch (Vote for Best Pony)

    I have that niggle in the back of my brain telling me to write. However, I'd like a little warm-up exercise before jumping back into any major projects.

    So, because it worked so well the last time, let's do this again. Vote for best pony! Preferably none that I have or are currently writing about.

    Let me know in the comments below.

    Where the Hell Have I Been!?

    Hey guys.

    Unfortunately writing has been completely dormant as I've hit the insane schedule regarding three jobs that pick up when the weather is warm on top of other projects. In fact, I'm convinced that I've actually messed myself mentally through all of this.

300 favorites for Number One (Question for Watchers/Readers) · 6:56am Apr 30th, 2012

Honestly, I'm surprised. I could have sworn No Need For Words would have reached this milestone first. Not that I'm complaining, mind you! It actually makes me happy that the story that I, for lack of a better phrase, put more effort into is getting a little extra love. I'm still proud of all my stories, but I'm just being honest.

So, thank you all! I've said it nearly every blog post, but I appreciate all of the likes, comments, favorites, and watches!

Also, finals are upon me this week. So by Friday, I plan of writing like I was still in school. And had a paper due the next day. About sensual ponies.

But before that, I have an honest question for you all. I check the stats on my stories and see the referrals from different sites, but that only gives me a vague idea of where some of my readers come from. I'm kind of curious where the once-in-a-while favorite during a dry spell comes from and there's been a recent increase of people liking and watching.

So... where did you come from?

I know quite a few from the Sensual Fiction General and Ponychan and a couple of my stories have been posted on some forums, but like I said, that's only a vague idea and the numbers don't seem to match up with the views they've gotten. Did you find my story in a search for specific characters? Was it recommended to you? Were you just clicking around at random? Was it back when they had the "If you liked this story..." lists?

I apologize if this is a little impersonal, but I am genuinely curious and would love to hear where you heard of my stories.

I saw it on the "New Stories" part of FiMfiction.net all the way back then :eeyup: the premise interested me, and I loved (still love) reading well written 2nd-person stories :raritywink: :twilightsmile:

Read No Need for words. I thought the writer was good and checked to see if there where any more written stories and read them. Simple as that

Lol I JUST favorited your story, Number One, like an hour ago.

Being the sucker I am for a good RD romance, I was just browsing the Romance section, and the title and picture of Number One caught my eye while the description made me read it. It was just a random occurrence that I stumbled upon it, but man you are one hell of a writer, and I can't wait to see you expand on Number One!

fund it by chance and read it and i loved it make a sequel plz it is a good story.:pinkiehappy::pinkiesad2:

Hmm...If I remember correctly I first read(And faved) Number one when I was browsing for 2nd person persepective stories, specifically. Those are always fun to read and I can safely say that Number One is in my top 5 for 2nd person perspective stories that I've read. Sooo, yeah. There ya go. :pinkiehappy:

I heard of your stories from the Sensual Fiction General thread, where I've been watching for a long time. I've never actually made an account, but I regularly check there for whenever I feel the need for pony love :3. I'd also like to say you were one of the first Authors that I latched on to, I've loved every story that you have pushed out. And if I may, I'd like to personally thank you for the hours of enjoyable readings.

If memory serves, I read "No need for words" first, when it got featured, and I loved it so much that I wanted to see if you wrote anything else.
Then I read "Number one", and... you can guess what happened :pinkiehappy:
I just love your works.

I just filtered by rating and romance.
A couple of next pages later and I found Number One.

Straight Dash is best Dash.

I was trying to find a few good 2nd person perspective stories and somehow stumbled on yours. It was great.

If remember right, I saw "Number One" under the "If you liked this story..." list under another story I was reading, so I decided to give it click and a read. And of course, I liked it alot! Im rather a big fan of 2nd person stories so it struck home as one of my new favorites.

I was looking through "romance" and 'No Need for Words' caught my eye, mainly because it was heterosexual (which is so hard to find :unsuresweetie: )
After reading and favorite-ing that, I looked at your other stories. I already read through 'Number One', favorite'd it, and now I'm waiting for the next chapter of 'Room 213'.
I LOVE YOUR STORIES! :pinkiehappy::heart:
