So close on Dollhouse, but so far... and now, Dash of Humanity is set to end by 90k words! Foiled again! Why do my outlines always wind up having about eighteen five-thousand word chapters, always falling just short?
I don't know, but it keeps me up at night. In fact, I just wrote ____ __ _________ __ chapter one because it was keeping me up at night. Seeing as how that story is ending soon, perhaps its next iteration will hit 100k words... or perhaps, I am in fact, cursed to never write a story over 100k words in length.
Go ahead, Kaidan, break the curse and write 100,001 words. I'll be waiting.
p.s. Also this is a test of the recently re-added "Tag Story" feature. If you get this and are favoriting Dash of Humanity, but not a follower, please say so below so i know it works.
p.p.s. The "Tagged Story" is displayed as the sole story to the right of the blog, neato! Now, if only it sent a message to everyone who "favorited" it.
It works!
Wait...

I don't recall ever saying that. However, I definitely thought it.
You could always write a
1k(eh 10k) epilogue...I got this because I was following you. I haven't seen Dash of Humanity, although...
*Read Later*
... I will fix that!
*Read Later (73)*
... eventually.

Have you counted the side stories? Because if so, you should hit that mark easily.
I didn't follow you.
So, yes, this works.
It works! I'm not following you!
It works, but I am not following you, so don't spam me.
Not following, but I got this, so it works.
Yay, tag stories work.
Myth confirmed.

Thank you all for confirming the tag story functionality. I Pinkie Promise not to abuse my new-found powers.
Now I can tag Dash of Humanity when the top-secret sequel comes out.

Sequel?
Now I have to read that.
But wait I have others I simply must read.
Arg, why must I choose!
Yea, but you don't have a story with 200k+ words yet, why worry about 100k when you REALLY need 200k
Oh, so they actually got the story tag feature working? Sweet! Now I can bother all those guys who favorited my stories like everyone else.
Oh, never commented on your story, so hi and all that. Dash of Humanity is a good read.
Newfound powers have great responsibility. Now all we need is a new rule regarding spamming that will ensue if you favorites a story with an annoying author (if they haven't already, that is).
So yeah, mobile tested, mobile working.
It worked. I'm not following you and I got a notification.

That's why the tagged story shows up on the right hand side. If someone blogs and uses a story tag, a quick glance to the right reveals if the blog is relevant to said story, thus allowing people to report spammers. I suppose Knighty thought of everything this time.

Yes, he has thought of everything this time. Too perfect... I'll be watching him closely for now on.
1564779 At least you only have 73. I've got 400-something.

So you got dash of humanity 2 started, nice
