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'.
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.

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
I just checked my own stats and… I missed my own first birthday back in March
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.)
