    Realize I haven't breathed a word about this, and that I'm generally silent on the blog side of Fimfiction as it is, but I'm attending Everfree Northwest this year!

    Glimpses 2 - Now Complete

    Though it was a day late, hopefully, it's not a dollar short. I've posted the final chapter of Glimpses 2! I hope everyone enjoys the last chapter and enjoyed the story as I whole. I would also like to thank everyone that submitted suggestions to my blog about a month ago. The anthology would not have been nearly as interesting without your input!

    Last Chapter of "Glimpses 2" slightly delayed

    Just what it says on the tin. Need 1 more day for the "Core" chapter of Glimpses 2. Should be up tomorrow. After that, the story will be complete!

New Milestone & Current Status · 1:03am May 12th, 2016

Once more, the gracious community here at Fimfiction has bestowed me with another honor.

As of today, I hit my 8,000 follower milestone.

Really, I wish I could have more celebration for this, but sadly work and real life things have been eating into my writing time. There is another big milestone coming up this summer though, and that one I can actually plan for since its a set date. But I'll try to incorporate something fun to celebrate this milestone as well into the one coming later.

For those of who you are among my new followers, and those who are still around that are part of the old guard, let me say thank you. Really, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all of you. Those of you who so eagerly await my stories when I do manage to get a new one out. Those of you who come and see me at conventions to here me talk on panels. Some may consider the #horsefamous as a bit of a joke, but all this just lets me know how many people my writing has entertained.

I just hope I can continue to entertain you for the foreseeable future.

So again, thank you. You guys and gals have let me enjoy a lot of firsts here on Fimfiction. I've been the most watched author for years thanks to all of you. I was the first to hit many of follower count milestones. 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, and now 8000. I was the first author to reach those points over the past several years. And you may be saying I shouldn't be worrying about the numbers, but you'll have to forgive me. I'm a computer programmer, I have to work with numbers on a daily basis.

Still, thank you. Thank you. Eight thousand times thank you.

Sincerely,
Pen Stroke

Jesus christ, 8k? Dude, you need to stop :rainbowlaugh:

I'm only one, but you can have my "You're welcome" :twilightsmile:

I think we owe you a thank you, Pen Stroke, for giving us something worth following. :raritywink:

I'm a computer programmer, I have to work with numbers on a daily basis. Don't I know the feeling. :rainbowlaugh:

I don't think thanks will be enough to suffice... No, we need something grander, if I had it in me to do so :twilightsheepish:

Wow. 8000 followers. Just ... wow. Congrats.

It's still amazing that it keeps going even higher.
Congrats dude.

Do a new Nyx story, it'll hit 10k easy.

It's over 8000....................Okay someone had to do that Joke, sure it wasn't 9000 like I would have liked but way it's better to make the joke now, so anyway I would love to see another Nyx story if you were up for making a new one, also I got to ask this question Pen Stroke, is there a chance you will ever re-print "Past Sins" again?

I'm only 7,519 followers behind you! :pinkiecrazy:

Congratulations Pen Stoke.

JMP

Congrats. Your 8k followers are well-deserved. Past Sins was my first story on this site, and I still consider it my favorite MLP fan fiction.

Congrats! I only hope that other authors on this site can one day match that...and pray that I'll be worthy enough to have a fraction of that.

Wow, great! I'm glad to be a part of that group!

Thank you for the wonderful stories. And that hundred dollars. See you Friday.

Set date this summer...
Bronycon again?
#HopefulWishingMatters

That's truly amazing! And well deserved too! Congratulations, and thank you for creating so many wonderful stories for us to love and enjoy! :pinkiehappy:

See you in Seattle!

I have to say this...
Pen stroke, I cant thank you enough, for if it wasn't for your story past sins I wouldn't be here today in the manner I currently am. You're stories helped me find myself once more after years of doubt and depression, reminding me of my reason for living. And also thank you for getting me involved on this site because if it wasn't for Past Sins I wouldn't have met any of my fellow authors that I am now friends with. So thank you, You sir literally both saved and changed my life all at once. I can only hope to one day come close to your level of talent.

Congrats and thank you for being you! Without you being who you are and creating the stories you have, I wouldn't be as invested in Fan-fics in general. So thank you for opening my eyes to such a beautiful and breathtaking world. :ajsmug:

Woo! Well done Pen Stroke! I think that 5 is a milestone, and I haven't even reached that! I can't even imagine the honour of getting 8,000, let alone being one of the first, so, again, well done! :pinkiesmile:

I feel the same, but even my miniscule number of followers makes me happy. I don't feel the need to share my achievements with the world, just the few that are special enough to me, and have found my corner of the ilfracombe! :derpytongue2:

3940034 Now that's an enlightened attitude.

I realised that after watching a live painter online, Sapphire-Shine. :pinkiehappy:

I was going to draw Anime Style of me and my boyfriend, but after saying that I was struggling, I realised that I didn't need to share it with the world! I even felt that it was attention seeking. :unsuresweetie:

Srsly dude, if it weren't for past sins, I wouldn't havefound this site!! And I'm conssidering a reread..........mebe..........ok yea, for sure!!!!:rainbowlaugh:

3941675 Being an artist is awesome!!!:pinkiehappy:

You wrote an epic story (Past Sins) that was what led me to this site and thus all the good that has brought me, and have wrote many other good ones:heart::heart::heart::twilightsmile:
