Ever wondered which story tags are most likely to lead to a high view count? You can find out, sort of, by doing a linear regression. You take a big set of stories, and you want to come up with a linear function like

views = a1 * Adventure + a2 * Comedy + a3 * Romance + a4 * WasOnEQD + a5 * Words + a6 * AuthorFollowers + a7 * Age

Well, Pinkamena's caught up, so I'm happy to say I just finished busting out the rough draft for another...ahem story. This one will be my longest such story yet. It even has multiple chapters!

I did a terrible job of explaining how to interpret the results I presented in my last blog post. Let me try again, without so much math. There's an easier way to interpret the results for the binary independent variables. (The tags. 'Binary independent variables' = 'tags'.)

But first, snu-snu math! (You can skip to the end if you hate math and understanding things.)

The most important difference between using the equation

8 years later and I’m still fully blown addicted to pony fanfiction.

So much has changed in my life since 2013 but this site has retained a comforting and cherished place in my heart.

I used to never read fiction, in fact I hated reading books in general. This site changed all that completely.

Thank you fimfiction community!

Hey guys. Sandstallion here. Monotone’s probably gonna be upset with me for posting on his profile, but I felt like you guys should know that's he hasn't abandoned his account.
He's having some personal issues at the moment and can't access fimfiction. Hopefully, he'll be back soon, but it's not certain. Just be patient. Thanks, guys.
Sandy out.

A rough week but I'm here again for an update and some good news. I'm now working for Another deathbattle aftermath!

A few days ago, a long-requested match between Discord and Bill Cipher on Death battle was made and it's not a disappointment. Won't spoil for those who haven't watched it.

A writing group is where a bunch of writers get together, in person or online, share their stories and offer feedback on one another’s work. Any aspiring writer should know just how important it is to get constructive criticism on their work, but some of these groups can be very intimidating. I’ve had friends who’ve wanted to cultivate their writing habit, but were put off by the blunt, harshly critical nature of these groups.

Like five people have favorited this now long-since published one shot in the past hour or so. Why the sudden surge in interest, this random gentleman inquires?

HOORAY!

So far, my latest story, "Equestria Girls: The Rubicon," now has a five to one rating, and with chapter 2 now published, it is only a matter of time to see the changes. What I start with "Rise of the Maximals" I intend to end big with it. "Vacant Niches" would serve more as an epilogue story after the big finale. Based on this progress, this may take probably over to my birthday. I may take a small break to see how the upcoming "Legend of the Everfree" turns out. Thanks for reading the fic so

Two years, 8 stories, 235 blogs and 128 followers later...and I'm just getting started! Thank you all for the BEST 2 years ever! (also challenging but let's not dwell on the negatives here.) This goofy Mich. lady truly does not deserve any of you wonderful crazies!! But since this is celebration, I leave you with this:

Heya guys! So it has been a little while since I last updated my story because, as I said before, I've been pretty busy with university work. Fortunately, I just finished my last assignment for this semester in time so I can now freely enjoy Christmas.

Well!

It seems the folks over at Equestria Daily were nice enough to give some feature time to Say Goodbye to the Hollandaise! I must say, I really appreciate it, and I'm so glad they story was enjoyed. It was something I wrote on a lark with a bit of holiday cheer in my heart at the time, so if it puts a chuckle on any muzzle at all, I'm more than happy for the effort.

Heh, this is probably my first time making a blog post on fimfiction so allow me to introduce myself.

Back when I firstcused this sitecI used an old Kindle Fire with a crack down the middle that my little brother worsened. This Kindle ended u dissapearing for over a year until I found it in my ex-meth addict mom's room. I read my first stories on this tablet and it's so nice to be reading with it again.

Yeah, you’ve got your Red Dead Redemption, and Cyberpunk, and Splatoon, but who else remembers playing THIS?

...

I'm so, so sorry, I... was thinking giving up the FAR... it's just that I've been busy (school, homework, fanfiction writing, Pony Town... need I say more?) and yeah... I'm not gonna continue it... I'll still rate stories, but yeah... it won't be happenin' anymore
