It's been quite a month.

Bad? Well, I've had as many downs as ups, I suppose, but that's not important. What is important is the milestones I've passed and goals I've achieved...

The hundredth of you clicked that 'Follow' button back on the last day of July. I still can't imagine it... I've only written six stories for you all, and one is trash and another barely salvageable, if I ever bother. How can I have caught the eye of this many ponies? Well, I'm not going to complain. I'm grateful to have you all here: Noble Thought, Wolfcape, Zhe, LightningBass94, Pen Expers, Surry, and the other hundred of you... You mean the world to me.

That's not all - far from it. I've also taken my GM test at the Changeling Panic group. Changeling Panic, known as Mafia or Werewolf outside of Equestria, is a forum game in which two teams of players butt heads in a game of deceit, suspicion, paranoia and manipulation with the aim of killing each other off and taking control of a small town. It might just be the most fun a girl can have with her tail down! The GM test was difficult to pull off, but I had a blast and the players did too, enough that the administrators agreed to make me a full-fledged Game Master! Now I can run games of Changeling Panic for the group whenever I'd like. I hope to satisfy your bloodlust. Maybe I'll see some of you there, eh?

So, how many of you remember How the Other Half Lives, the story I wrote in a week's time at the tail end of June? It won second place in the Transformation group's Body Swap Contest! Twenty-five dollars is nothing to sneeze at, but the real prize is what else came of that story: the satisfaction of knowing that something I wrote helped others. I've heard from so many of you who read it and found the insight or the courage to accept a part of themselves that had previously gone ignored or misunderstood. This story wasn't for the contest. It was for you.

And, um, most interestingly... I'm still shocked. I never expected this. Um... Yeah. Most of you are here because of the story I wrote back in March and April, Miss Sparkle, Psychopath. Well, it looks like you're not the only ones who liked it. It looks like maybe first place in Blundy's Challenge wasn't too much of a stretch. twilight-the-pony decided that it was good enough for Twilight's Library.

So... That's interesting.

In the light of all of this, I just want to take the time to remind you all once again of how much I feathering love you guys. You gave me the courage to write, to chat, to let others past the walls I'd built up around myself. You made me realize that maybe I do have the talent to share what I create, and that maybe some of you really do care enough to want to see it. That's more than I could ever have asked for, and I owe everything I've become to you.

So, yeah...

I'll see you all next time I feel like gushing.

Okey dokey lokey... Thanks, Remare!

How do you even put so much raw happiness in a blog post? Just reading this made me smile. Again.

Silliness aside; Congrats, again Miss Sparkle still has got the sting, it seems. Continuing upwards.

I've not read How the Other Half Lives, heck, I missed that you had a new story. Congratz on silver-place, anyway. I added it to my Read Later's, so I'll hopefully be on it soon.

Have some Pie's!

You diserve it all

It still amazes me that I have around 120 followers and I've maybe written at the most 15000 words

Ooh, you're planning to read it? That's wonderful! Your thoughts on Miss Sparkle were a very fulfilling read; I'm curious to see what you think of How the Other Half Lives. I hope it meets your expectations.

That's because you excel in so many other ways as well, like Being a Kick-Ass Individual. The occasional sexy Luna doesn't hurt either.

[The DJ Rainbow Dash]

Congrats for a hundred follows! You're an excellent writer dude, and deserve every one of those.

Can't wait to see what kinds of things you have planned for next month!

[Noble Thought]

Congratulations, Adda! I'm glad to hear things are going well for you, and I can't wait to see what you've got in store for us next!

BASK IN HER TINY GLORY

I'd join Changeling Panic, but I think my english isn't good enough.

Honestly, I think you'd fit right in. If you want to try it out, don't let that stop you. I can't see anypony I play with making fun of you for any mistakes you make... not to be mean, anyway. Maybe a bit of gentle ribbing. Besides, getting involved in a text game like this might help you improve!
