Took Me Long Enough! · 4:27am Apr 13th, 2016
Man, oh man. The meager trial one writer must wade through to reach that 100K word count in one story achievement. Granted, it's nothing to boast about. And the partial reason for taking this long to get there are those massive breaks between each chapter. Some published in two to four days, while most got published between one to couple months.
I'm glad, but also saddened, that it took three years to get this far.
Well I made this sound like a total bummer, huh? And it's because of the sporadic that the major followers (take SuperMarioDemon for example) of the story have "abandoned" FiMFic. Sure there'll be new ones, but I've never seen readers like said follower so dedicated into my work. It's a downer they're gone.
Bah. What's with this pessimism? I should be celebrating one of the smallest achievement a writer can achieve.
Those who've helped and those who've tracked the story, I must humbly express my gratitude for your patronage. Patronage, you ask? Yes, patronage as in your support; your likes, favorites, comments. Each little thing like those are what helped motivate me to forge on. Thanks.
Sincerely,
~Keeper-of-Harmony
Glad you stuck with it!
3867059 As am I to you for sticking around. Thank you.
Congratulations on the not-so-minor-at-all achievement! That's a lot of words. Say what you want about it taking three years, but you truly have built and established your own world and character dynamic(s) by now, or at least grown familiar with them, or both.
Try not being so down about it all. I probably don't belong to your major followers, as I was at my peak activity here before MDSLiE. So, take it as you wish; but I'm glad you chose to give Rick life in Equestria from that poll way back. I enjoy a good HiE, and, in my opinion, MDSLiE counts as that. And then, even as I'm not an active reader here anymore*, it's a special kind of fun to see that the stories which started way back are still alive, because of writer's dedication. If nothing else, that's admirable.
So I offer you some cheers, and keep on being awesome. That's not a minor achievement.
*I'm not reading much here anymore, because of multiple reasons, which can be boiled down to waning interest, I guess. That probably goes for many long-time members. But when I get around to reading again, I'll be caching up!
3868256 Your kindhearted comment is deeply appreciated. Thank you.
And the fact you, Scar and those who've clung to this story as to this day has me smiling.
3867059 Oh, and sorry for not mentioning this:
I might not have been an active commenter, but I have quietly been adoring and praising each and every novel you've written. Keep on writing, my fellow author. Your stories are an inspiration not just to me but to many others.
