Slightly intimidated · 10:02pm Nov 14th, 2016
This is the 3rd day that I'm a Zeppelin has been in the featured box and it's now at 502 likes and countless favors. I'll admit it. I'm excited, but slightly intimidated. I want to continue writing more stories that get picked up like this because I have a dream of making a little on the side through patreon writing stories like this, but I'm afraid this is a one shot deal.
Guess only time will tell, but till then, we'll see. Working on the sequel now, and I hope you all love it as much as I have writing it.
On a side note, if you're new to my page, welcome! Please check out my other stories, and let me know what you think.
We're all Zepplins.
4302346 yes. Yes we are.

I just hope I don't become a one hit wonder.
4302399 that's true. And it still racking up likes is well.
Sequel?
SQUEEE!
If you keep up the good work and play your cards right, you could get Featured every time. It's not as hard as you might think.
Congrats, by the way.
I wouldn't worry too much about it all. Just write with you're heart and edit a lot, and your good to go!
Want a little bit of advice from someone who's been in that boat?
Just keep writing, and don't get sad when your next few stories don't get nearly as much attention. The feature box is a fickle thing, that gives one man fame and another man lack thereof, and reverses that situation at will. If you got it once, just keep writing, take advice, read your comments, try to improve, try new things, try old things, and you'll most likely get there again.
Also a piece of much more practical advice: on all of your stories, in the author's notes, just add a single sentence asking politely if the reader would consider following you. You'd be surprised how many people are willing to do so because you asked nicely.
