Inspiration From You All · 3:36am Jan 6th, 2015
Wow. I don't even know what to say coming in here typing this. I just saw a notification telling me that I received another favorite on my Vinyl Scratch story "I'll Be One Beat Away."
And what do I see? It has just hit its 99th bookshelf.
To be honest with you all, this was a story I wanted to stop once I had finished the third chapter. I felt that it was going nowhere, and I was starting to lose the drive I feel every time I get on Drive and start typing. Eventually, I get this way with almost all of my stories, but somehow, some way, I just keep coming back.
And this has been the push I needed. I don't know how to thank you guys. When I first came here, I was getting a lot of shit from everypony. It was my first fanfic, and it SUCKED. Worse than ponies that try. Once that one hit rock bottom, I kept trying, but I just couldn't seem to hit it off. Then I wrote my Trolluna series, and I started this story, and now I have an Alien story.
In my time here since June of 2014, I've written (or am currently writing) 16 fictions, and I have a novel getting ready to be published, and it all started because I gained one follower. Coming into FiMFiction, my friend supported me, telling me I had writing skills that he couldn't see in anypony else at our school, and I never believed him. I saw ponies way better than myself, and I told him he was crazy, but look at me now.
I actually have a small fanbase. Yeah, my stories don't get as many views as the big ones, and I may get so much more dislikes on my stories, but why do I care about the haters? I write for you guys, the followers that have stuck around and believed in me, even through the stories that, personally, should never have been written.
Thank you all. I could never have come this far without your guys' support, and it's been one amazing ride. I know I won't be around for too much longer...but...what time I do have left, I hope to use to make you all happy, and I want to hear that I have given you guys smiles, feels, times of anger, curiosity...
And these times will never end, even after I'm gone...
