    Daring Do and the Red Shoe Diary

    For years, since nearly the start of the series' rise to international fame, the rumors have persisted: Was there an adult-oriented Daring Do story? Has our intrepid explorer gone down paths far more sordid and saucy than her audience could have imagined?

    New Red Shoes Chapter is Live!

    After far too long of a hiatus, Red Shoes is officially back with a new chapter!

    This time, we'll be hearing from the co-owner of Sugarcube Corner, who has a saucy but sympathetic tale to tell.

    I hope you enjoy, and let me know in the comments. Cheers, all!

    Red Shoe Diaries: The Return

    *blows the dust off*

    Yikes. I let this sit for way, WAY too long. As I'm typing this I'm realizing it's been 4 years, since this story last updated. That's horrendous, and also entirely my fault. True, lots of life has happened to me, and then there's the world going mad besides. But still, I should NOT have let this story lapse like this. For that, readers, you have my apologies.

It's My 2nd Birthday! (and you're all invited) · 4:41am Jun 15th, 2015

Two years. That's 730 days. Or put another way, double the best song from 'RENT'. :trollestia:

I looked at the calendar today and realized that my Fimfic anniversary is approaching in just four days. So, while I have the time tonight, I thought I'd take a look at the current state of the author, and how I've fared relative to last year.

Current Stats (as of 6/14/15)
Stories submitted: 14
Words written (fimfic count): 132,224
Followers: 217 (and I love all of you) :rainbowkiss:
Most viewed story: Full Bloom (2,138)
Least viewed story: A Dog's Best Friend (230)
Highest rated story: TIE between Night Rose and Two Sides to Every City (100% each)
Lowest rated story: Sins of the Fathers (88%)
Achievements Unlocked:
--EQD feature (Night Rose)
--Royal Guard feature (Scars)
--Won TwiDash 4.0 Contest (Remembrance Day)
--Honorable Mention, MMDG contest (Sins of the Fathers)
--Edited my first story for another author ('Moonstone', by Loyal)


This compares very favorably to my status this time last year:
Stories submitted: 7
Words written (fimfic count): 57,885
Followers: 91
Best Like/Dislike Ratio: 'Two Sides to Every City' (33/0)
Achievements Unlocked:
--Feature Box (2x) for Full Bloom
--EQD & Las Pegasus Tribune feature (The Furthest From the Tree)


Overall, a pretty successful year, I'd say. And this week's episode has given all of us a new mountain of material and ideas to work with. Oh, and a special shout out to SilverFlare and Noble Thought for their help with a couple of my stories this past year. I am in your debts, gentlemen. And to my good friend Loyal, I couldn't have come this far without you, and working on Moonstone with you was an experience I'll never forget. I owe you more than I can express. :)

Finally, I hope you all will stick around to see what else comes flying out of my keyboard. I know I'm not the best or the most prolific writer here, but I truly, truly appreciate every read, every comment, and every fave from all of you. Thank you for your continued support and readership.

Here's to whatever's next! *salud*

Nice! Congrats :twilightsmile:

I just checked my own stats and… I missed my own first birthday back in March :facehoof:

I actually think the best song in Rent was the song Rent (or at least I assume that is the name of the song). Granted that is also the only song in that musical I actually enjoy enough that I would be tempted to put on my MP3 player. Most of the rest I would be happy to never hear again (though the song you mention is one of the more tolerable ones).

Couldn't have asked for a better co-pilot on my best and most favorite story thus far. Best of wishes moving forward into the next year, decade, or however long we are blessed to count you among our ranks.

Kudos, my friend. Kudos ^.^

(And thank you for all the well wishes. They really do help.)

3151202 Thank you, good sir. And right back at ya. :)

Happy 2nd Annibirthery!:pinkiehappy:

Happy birthday! Looks like a well-spent year. :twilightsmile:
