I'm excited! Almost 100 people give a shizzle about what I do here! Any way I can get to that triple-digit mark today?

About 10 years ago I made an account here under the name "John Bon Pony". I wrote a story with no intention of having it blow up, just for the hell of the thing. The internet had other ideas. The story exploded and for a while I was one of the top rated authors on the site. But with the popularity also came anxiety. I suddenly felt every chapter had to be better than the last, which led me to rush more than a few just to get something out. And nothing I wrote afterwards ever measured up. I felt

I'm doing things different this time around. I'll tackle the stuff I wanted to accomplish this year in this blog, and post my resolutions tomorrow. Let's see how I did this time.

1) Get a second job/pass classes with at least a B. Check!
2) Reach 100+ followers. Not quite. Got 92, though, and that's more than I thought I would have when I started on this site.
3) Reach 200,000+ words total. Almost, but not quite.

So to those who enjoyed the story "Met Your Match", I have news for you: I do have a sequel plan. Notice how I didn't say "planned", since this is mostly going to be a long continuation for this verse... If I ever get to writing it, of course. Heh.

I actually had a really hard time picking today's stories. Not because I couldn't find any I wanted to review, but quite the opposite; I had too many to pick from! I think I had about 9 I really wanted to review, then just narrowed it down based on the author. But even that was hard.

But now, now I got some stuff to review:

Once again, it comes time to look at the resolutions I made at the beginning of the year, and see how well I did.

1) Get 150+ Followers... Not quite. 132 isn't too shabby, though. Thanks guys!
2) Get to a total of 300,000+ words written. Check!
3) Finish Days in the Mind of One that is Great and Powerful. Check!
4) Watch all Episodes of Season 9... Ehe... I kinda let that one get away from me...

I had a totes awesome time at EFNW~! I loved it all! Even met with a few RL friends there and had a blast. Maybe got a bit too drunk at one point, but I still remember most of it (seriously, pony-themed drinks are epic. Especially ones named after bad guys~! They just get you totes wasted super fast!).

And now it is over, and we must depart. Good evening, Baltimare.

If my month so far is an example of the year to come, then 2018 is going to be great.

Admittedly, it started off rather poorly. I wrote less than 2,300 words for the entirety of the first week of January. It looked like my little pledge to myself to hit 1,500 words/day for the month was a pipe dream.

Day One!

Alarm went off at 6:45. Hadn’t slept badly, and felt pretty ok. Excited for the con! No more sensation of still being on a plane, either, which was nice. No one else up yet. Had a shave and didn’t cut myself – great success. Not that I often cut myself shaving, but sod’s law says that when that does happen, it’s on an important day. So an important day where my face survives the morning intact is off to a good start.

PETA asked Games Workshop to make Warhammer fur-free.

So, there are apparently people in the world who are appaled by killing virtual animals for virtual furs, and you still wonder why 2016 looked the way it looked...

It was my birthday this past Wednesday -- woo I'm 23 give me stuff woo -- but I had no ways to come in here and post anything.

There was a guy supposed to come to my house and install a router on Monday, true. But, the dude came in, looked around, said "Hahah wow I have no idea how to deal with this," and immediately left.

So no Internet till today, and no birthday blog. Instead, have a birthday story.

...First you both go out your way
And the vibe is feeling strong
And what's small turn to a friendship
A friendship turn to a bond
And that bond will never be broken
The love will never get lost (and the love will never get lost)
And when brotherhood come first
Then the line will never be crossed
Established it on our own
When that line had to be drawn
And that line is what we reach
So remember me when I'm gone (remember me when I'm gone)

So, as a lot of you have noticed, I have an abundance of stories on this site. Problem is, a lot of them are random one-offs that tie into my main story, "The Not-So-Normal Adventures of King Sombra and Pinkie Pie." Now, the reason this is a problem is because... Well, here's all the one-shots...
