Just Past the 150th Mark

[AsylumSeeker]

I had started to post this in the Author's forum where it really belongs, but they're all talking about nonsensical things with no relation to writing, and I knew it would be lost there, quickly swallowed up.

Just wanted to share this milestone with those of you that might actually care. I'm in the 150+ stories club. I just had a conversation with Laurel, the kind and loving person that she is, and she had informed me that such statistics are not tracked, but she is sure I am in a small group. I don't know, was just curious.

I am bound and determined to post 200, and from there hang another hundred, and keep on doing that unitl the good Lord demands otherwise. And for the record, I have never posted anywhere but here. I have been angered and insulted and even left for a time or two, but this is my home.

And for that, and all of you, I am grateful.

A big hug to you all. Especially Laurel.

Yeah, I know, Past and Passed, made a booboo but can't seem to edit it, dammit!

Congrats, AS! A remarkable achievement!

Thanks!

Thanks GDP, it's seriously appreciated.

that's wonderful AS....congrats

I have no doubt that you will reach 200 and beyond, you are a very talented writer, and anyone as to have someone as good as you stop writing would be a shame.

Congratulations


p.s. you can't change the name of the thread title, it's locked.....wonder if that's something ladyci can do?

Many thanks, love! I have had a few meltdowns, but the meltdowns-per-stories is a small percent! Always a pleasure to hav a chance to peruse your shapely "vocabulary", lol.

I doubt the group is very large as well. I'm sitting at 306.

Congratulations, and not just on the volume, 151 stores is about a million words!

Far more worthy of praise than simple volume is the staggeringly high proportion of H markers, and long serial stories with an H on EVERY chapter is very, very rare. You really do write what the Lit community wants to read.

Wow, that's impressive SR! Great for you! I asked Laurel if they software kept any stats on stories written but no, such is not the case.

Thanks, snooper, but I'm no DanielleKitten. She doesn't have the numbers but when I last checked every story she had was a sizzling "H" !

Congrats, AS.

You deserve the recognition, now if only certain 'people' could restrain from riding your coattail and boast their own achievement; everything would be perfect

Also of note, AS, is that you're way up there on the "Favoritist" list (38 on a top list going down to 250)--everything indicative of your stories being very well received.

 

[CopyCarver]

Congrats, AS.

Time to celebrate 151 with a jug of 151?

 

[MarshAlien]

Congrats, AS. Very well done. Production and quality.

Thanks SR, good to know! I felt I had my hand on the pulse of Lit - er <looking down> - well, maybe not on the pulse of Lit, but they seem to keep the same tempo, lol.

Thanks CC and LadyC! And Marsh Alien! Good to hear from you all!

After So Many, The Stories Become Unmanageable

Tending a small flock of stories enables a writer to respond to comments, which I do like to do. But with this flock I don't recollect to whom I've responded to, etc. It sure would be wonderful if color-coding could be added to a future version of the software Lit is running. And I'm not complaining when I say that, Laurel knows my love runs deep and true and my dedication is to this wonderful site.

Just speaking my mind while the little one throbs... Oh, that was so totally inappropriate! I forgot to remember the camera adds 10 pounds... 10 pounds!

What would you want the color to code? I'd be happy if there was a "date of last comment" tag. I sometimes run across a comment that's a couple of months old, because there's no way for an author to know that a new comment has been registered unless they can keep track of the number of comments a story already had the last time they checked it.

That's all fine and dandy, but how many free downloads have you sold? Apparently, selling free downloads is the only true measure of a writers worth around here.
(I have tried several times to purchase free downloads of your stories, but I can't seem to find a place to enter my credit card number.)

If you want to buy a free download, there's a slot at the lower right edge of your Smidgen laptop that you put your credit card in, the silver strip on the top and to the left. You do have a Smidgen laptop, don't you?

No, but when I was a carpenter, I was always moving things a smidgen this way or that.

Perhaps your post will inspire AS to write a story based on a smidgen, (which may or may not be related to a pigeon.)

Shakes, dude. Been awhile, hope all is well with you and yours! Thanks for the kind words.

I'm not color-blind and so I don't really care as long as there is a discernible difference. But of course these are all pipe dreams anyway.

All kidding aside, I have sold some of my smut. Turned down other offers as well. Was once approached for "original" stuff that sold for $30 a story and managed 30 before that ended. And then I "won" a couple of Lit awards, so I'm thinking them as being "sold" too. Won't retire or anything, but at least my work is not completely voluntary.

However, haven't collected a penny as an editor.

Hmmm, here's a start, maybe my first poem.

SR had a smidgen from which the girls would lick,
the salty flavor often made those same young girls sick
But when it swelled into a mast they'd throw their frail bodies upon it,
like crashing ships upon hard rocks, they'd impale their pussies upon it

Ah well, not great but you get the idea. Not suggesting SR's mast is an ylonger than the rest of ours, by the way. LOL.
