Wow for something I began as an experiment to see if I could write clop, I'm surprised. For the fact it turned into a ~250page romance novel for one. (That took longer than I had hoped to finish, a lot longer.)
But here it is 2500 views, which is small compared to some stories here.
But here's how it breaks down.

and a whopping 412 comments! (you know you've done something when they keep discussing it)
The story can be found in 590 bookshelves, and is being tracked by 354 users. Last time I mentioned it I believe it had 309 faves before the tracking data was changed.
If anyone knows how I might better promote this oddball crack-ship tale or how it compares to other crack-shipping stories please let me know in the comments below.

As far as how to promote your story, I'm afraid I can't offer any tips. I might not have given it a read if not for another story you wrote, one that led me to look at your other stories, so impressed I was.
As far as how it compares to others, it proves that even a crack-ship can make for a good story if it is well-written. If somebody were to ask me how to write a compelling romance that feels believable, lacking any helpful advice of my own, I would simply point to this story. It has earned its spot in my list of favorites.

I can't make a Pinkie Happy that big on this thing.
Thank you!
G'day Mate;
Added to my favorites today in fact, after coming very highly recommended by a usually reliable source. Knowing full well I'm not usually a fan of most of the clop that gets published here, but knew I would love it for the story.
Oh how right he was... I still cant wrap me noggin around how you could take such a universally hated character and evoke from me, not only compassion for her but really want her to succeed. Also the studious little nerd that was Silver Spoon was absolutely adorable.
Bravo mate, bravo.
