Smoldering It Over 3rd Anniversary and Smolder 900 · 4:20am Aug 24th, 2018
Today marks the third anniversary of Smoldering It Over being uploaded and coincidentally happens to be the same day that it has reached nine-hundred views. I feel like I simply repeat myself over and over again when I say how humbled I am to have reached this milestone, but it couldn't be more to the truth. I was excited to know that thirty-four viewers had taken a glance at it and left a comment or two. At nine-hundred, I still get a comment from time to time, perhaps a message here and there, and it still makes me quite happy each time to hear how someone got some enjoyment out of it.
While it doesn't hold a candle to many other stories on this site, I am still proud that it has steadily risen over the last year and has been given an overwhelming positive response. While it desperately needs an editor and some severe rewrites to fix the formatting, dialogue, and a few inconsistencies, it remains my first attempt at a story with a rather simple message which seems to resonate with some and that has been enough to keep me writing as much as I can over the course of this year.
So I would like to just take this opportunity to thank everyone for giving this a chance and those who may read it without following or adding it to your library. Nine-hundred to me is the same as the thirty-six as it is all the support I've need to keep putting in the effort to improve with every chapter.
So thank you to:

Many of you I have spoken with through PM's and each of you have given me in some small or large way a very significant boost of confidence over this year. Throughout these three stories you've all been very kind and supportive to this silly idea I had, but it has been very uplifting to me thus far. To those who read this story, choosing to just be an observer or impartial reader I want to thank you as well. It's all thanks to you that I have found writing these stories so enjoyable and have gotten the chance to speak with so many talented people.
So from the bottom of my heart I want to say thanks for being a part of this in all shapes and forms. Whether you stopped after the first chapter or have some how read every single chapter to its current one, I want to thank you for giving this story a chance and being the best part of uploading to this site. I sincerely hope that your own projects are coming to fruition and have just as many astounding supporters encouraging you every step of the way.
Sincerely,
~Turtlehaus
