Okay, so the first story I ever wrote was posted on this very site. I've always been a great essay-writer, naturally gifted with the English language, and knew I had the guns to make something that looked good.

As far as ideas, using my imagination... that was much more difficult for me. I've never been good at putting my thoughts down on paper. Sure, I can write words, but they don't really mean much. My first story here was my first ever foray into how I feel.

So I started writing a review, and as I was trying to get to the second chapter of two, come to find out the story got taken down, presumably by the author. This is the worst thing to happen to me since I learned Flash Sentry was canon.

Story is Elements of The Seasons, by TheRealPonykun. Please worship him ceaselessly.

Her name is Crystal Snowflake, apparently, but we all know she's a special snowflake.

Now, I typically leave my humorous reviews as little nuggets of fun to find in a forgotten story's comments somewhere. My blog is a weird mixture of ideas that I have that either only work in blogs or are something I've been thinking about and want to get some other opinions on.

Not today, though. Today, it is a review of a story that most would consider "bad."

So, I'm going to let you guys in on a well-kept secret of mine: I like cartoons.

To those of you who guessed this before now, I am shocked and want your mind-reading powers.

Okay, this post isn't actually making fun of cancer. Cancer is some pretty serious shit, kills millions every year... it's an epidemic that steals far too many peoples' hopes and dreams away before they have a chance to do anything. Cancer is fucking horrific when it strikes.

Okay, so, I'm a really good editor. Like, not "I went to college and came out with a BS in English" good, but "I have a high school diploma and no education past that, but I have incredible talent in spotting errors" good.

"Scootareader," I hear you saying, "your OCs all suck. Why is that?"

Well, before I block and report you, I'll tell you what my method on OC creation is! Throughout this blog, I will explain where my inspiration to create OCs comes from, why my only recurring OCs are jokes, and why most stories are, to me, extremely disinteresting.

The first OC I ever created is Enigma.

Such edge.

I realize belatedly that I've never given a statement on how I feel about those silly 227 people who expected or continue to expect something meaningful or long-lasting from me. I guess now is the time to share my sentiments on what it means to be followed or be a follower.

In His Infinite Grace and Wisdom, knighty decided to bestow upon us a means of "watching" other users to see what they do. The system, known as followers, is the FIMFiction equivalent to a popularity contest.

For the first time in a while, I think I'm going to try to be heartfelt or whatever. We're all human, I guess.

I'm not that long-lived on this site. I've seen plenty of users go inactive, I've seen plenty of users stay active throughout my time on this site, I've seen plenty of new users come on this site to pursue their dreams, and I've seen plenty of those new users have their dreams crushed and leave this site the same way they started: alone and with no one.
