    Dropping writing

    I'm about to fucking leave this shit behind. After Council is fully posted, I won't write a single word. It's just all pointless. For what, that 30 upvotes? Please. I'm a relic of the past, that thinks he can make it with his relic-of-the-past stories. I just won't bother. I'll just walk off the stage, thank you.
    There is no shame in admitting defeat when you're beaten, innit?

    Progress update - what is to come

    Hello to everyone reading this (all five of you, yes)!

    If you've been wondering about the radio silence recently, and thought I abandoned what I was writing, then I have some good news: My story focusing on Luna and Celestia is almost complete. (I'd say, the manuscript is 95% written). The way I put that (the absence of "Princess", and also, the order of their names) is on purpose.

    (Belated) Anniversary 2

    As of yesterday, I've been a Fimficcer for two years. Not much has changed since the same time last year. I published one story (two if you count the one I unpublished), so you could think things are slowing down, and I won't even create anymore...?

I thought "No Explanation Necessary" could break 4000 views by the time it reached one year old. I was wrong. It already did.
So holy shit, a LOT of you like random bullshit involving the funny green man. It has more views than all my other stories combined. It has more votes than all my other stories combined. It's the elephant in the room, and compared to all the "effort" I put into it, it is by far my most popular fic.
So here I am, staring at my monitor in my basement, and pondering if I should follow the formula to popularity, or follow my heart, and continue producing duds like my latest story.
And you know what? Screw the feature box, I'll continue writing what I truly like. I made it already with a normal story too, so I know it's possible, it's just not the easy way. And the only thing more satisfying than getting featured is getting featured with a story that one can be proud of.

With that said, things are chugging along. This isn't over yet. I haven't nearly told everything I wanted. And I intend to do so.
