Not related to Literotica, but I got my first songwriting commission not long ago! It felt great to compose music and lyrics to spec and get such positive feedback.

On a side note - I never realized there would be so many good things to look forward to after 50. Our culture pushes the narrative that's all downhill after 30 or 40, but I have not found that to be true at all. I do miss my younger body, but not much else.

I didn't publish my first e-book until just before I turned 43. I've published 225 since.

I suspect that 50 is the point when most people finally get all their shit into a single pile. Therefore it's all still to come.
 
Nothing compared to most of you, but I a moved past 50 followers today, two months and a few days after my first story published.

I am also happy with my personal output. Earlier today, I submitted my 17th story across three categories, totaling just over 250K words. Mostly to a reasonable reception, but all in the same series. I also wrote two other stories, not in that series that I have not submitted.

Pretty sure a sweep will catch that particular vote. You know how the haters are. :(

I didn't expect it to last. I've had stories at the lower end of the Hall of Fame list and they were bombed out of sight as soon as they were added.

ETA: The new score should put me at around spot 17. Plenty more room for bombing.

That's very impressive. Congrats.

Back in 2017, not long after I started publishing stories, I started monitoring my stats fairly closely. Sometime after that, I decided out of curiosity to monitor the stats of other authors, to see how I was doing by comparison. Because I'm a competitive, geeky person that way.

You were one of the authors I monitored, among several others.

On May 1, 2019, almost six years ago today, these were the follower totals:

Silkstockingslover 26352 By far the most followed author at Literotica.

Lovecraft68 11823 You were number 3, after TxTallTales.

Me (SimonDoom) 1832 I'd been publishing for about 2 1/2 years at that point. I was about number 190 on the all time most followed list after publishing a bunch of incest stories.


Today:

Silkstockingslover 56,689 Still number 1, by far. Over double the number from back then. It's hard to imagine anybody ever catching her, especially because she keeps publishing.

Lovecraft68 25,003 As of the moment I just checked. You are number 2. More than double the followers of six years ago. But in absolute terms Silkstockingslover's followers lead has doubled.

Me (SimonDoom) 6195 My numbers have more than tripled. I'm number 64 on the most followed list.

The gap between us in absolute terms has increased, but in percentage terms your followers have a little more than doubled while mine have much more than tripled. So, if that rate keeps up, sometime in the next 30 years I may catch you!
 
Do not invite the Boomers in; they're like vampires.
