A thirtysomething Brony from Pennsylvania with a library degree. I also have a Patreon.
Guess what? I'm done writing the next chapter of Manifesto.
I just need to give my prereaders a day or two to look over it, and then it'll go up.
Until then, here's Despacito being played on a guzheng.
I've somehow gotten out of the habit of posting updates. Oops.
Anyway, you've no doubt noticed that I don't post as often as I once did in the past. This is largely because improvements in my life situation mean I have the wherewithal to engage in hobbies other than writing fanfiction.
Goodness, it's been a while, hasn't it? You're probably wondering why my pace has slowed down on Manifesto. Well, there are several reasons, but the most relevant one is that I find myself rewriting large swaths of this chapter as I zero in on the best plan for Sunset to take. I'm basically going back and forth between two ideas that can't really be combined into a single one, and for
In case you missed my last blog post, I'm taking a break from the adventures of Celestia and Daring Do to write the next Petriculture story. At this point it looks like it'll be fairly short -- about two chapters long -- and I recently finished up the first chapter, which will be posted once my prereaders give it a final once-over.
Even the degree to which senpai has noticed you.
By the way, I'm not really trying to make some sort of statement about whether or not this is a good idea, as it's not really applicable to me (as of this posting there's only about 60 or FIMFiction users who could have an effect my result). I just find the idea itself interesting, that's all.

Ahh, thanks for turning me on to this!
That was interesting. Plus it was a neat reminder of some people who I had forgotten were following me.
Yep. As a modeller, I'd make all sorts of adjustments to it--like, I'd first adjust follower count to an estimated number of currently-active followers, using the average fimfiction user half-life (which I estimated here for writers as 1.76 years). I've been on the site > 3 years, so maybe half of my 1100+ followers are still on the site, and my popular stories have gained me a disproportionate number of followers due to being out so long. (I have a reputation as a literary writer, yet I've gotten more than half my followers from "The Saga of Ravenblood etc. Nightblade" or whatever and "Sisters". So the number of active followers I have for the kinds of stories I usually write is quite small; probably 200 or 300!) But then I'd have to write a script and put it on a web server or no one else could compute it.
I think I'm more interested in average followers per follower: (followers of followers) / followers
I'd also like some metric of insularity, say (followers of followers) / (unique followers of followers). I have a lot of followers of followers, but the people who follow me tend to also follow GhostOfHeraclitus, horizon, Skywriter, Cold in Gardez, bookplayer, etc., and vice-versa. I might have (wild guess) 150,000 followers of followers, but only 6,000 if you remove duplicates. I think I'm in one fimfiction ghetto, largely unaware of the vast bulk of writers and stories except from seeing them in the featured box.
3331971 - You're definitely right that the idea needs a little tweaking. That's partly why I said it's not applicable to me; I've only got four followers who have more followers than I do, and yet my score is still 11,257.
