Anniversary maybe? · 11:34am Dec 2nd, 2018
So, I kinda just now realized something... It's been over a year since I started writing my little story.
For context, I know that the "official release" of my initial story, "One Bolt, Many Questions", was on December 20th of last year. That was also the day that I first signed up on this site and became part of an incredible community. I posted the first 25 chapters of that story in almost one fell swoop. And the rest was history. But I had been writing this story for about a month before I actually felt confident in submitting. It wasn't until that moment in chapter 25 that I believed it was even good enough for the eyes of the public. And what a ride it's been since! I haven't stopped writing for a single day since that point, and now I'm well over 100 chapters in to follow the version of Equestria where Boltsinger plays a part!
I know I've said this before, plenty of times, but I have to say it again. To all of you who have read my work, considered reading my work, contribute to my work somehow, and have grown to appreciate my little pony here, thank you. Bolt is, for lack of better phrasing, a part of who I am. Not that he's a self-insert, obviously, but he's helped me deal with a lot of my own issues. The fact that you can appreciate him and what he offers to the lives of our favorite ponies means a lot to me. So, as a little bit of thanks, I've got a little picture for everyone that I've been saving for such an occasion.
Makes me almost sad that Bolt only has about two stories left as the "main character" after the current season. Of course, I have some pretty epic plans after that point!
