New Milestones Thread

Yesterday it was exactly three months since I last published a story.

Feels like a milestone in the wrong direction.

I hear you. It's been 17 months for me.

Going on a year myself. Sometimes wonder why I'm still here. I am working on something but still.

I'm working on a dozen somethings. I've given up feeling bad about not staying focused and finishing them, though.

I just realized that I have a Loving Wives story: Hall Pass (750 Word Project) with a solid 4 star rating. It’s a 4 with 966 votes, which in that category is a super high rating. That seems like an accomplishment.

I went 17 months from mid-2023 to late 2024 without publishing. There's life after the gap.

My last story was #50, and it got me past 900 followers, both of which feel like milestones.

I have 1 very big project, the rewrite. It's been complicated to say the least, along with real life. I plug away when I can but it's been rare. Changing the mood, tone, and in some ways the direction of the story has been a major challenge, along with writing style. Oof.

Well, overnight I got my 100th follower. Triple digits, I've got to admit I'm pleased.

I have officially started a very large project, including building a new website, starting a blog, planning a new podcast with just me, and getting the ball rolling on a test anthology to be released in August. With the potential of more anthologies to come.

@SighonSocial and @Rambling_Chantrix are my partners in this endeavor and I'm so happy to be working alongside them for this.

They encourage me to do the things I want to do, yet question my capability of accomplishing. But with them, I know we can do this and I am so excited to see what happens.

I am not doing a good job of dodging allegations that I'm secretly trying to take over smut communities

..... And one smut server to rule them all?

Wait, I thought there were rings involved.

"You get a sad porn. And you get a sad porn. And you get a sad porn."

Jokes aside, Erozetta is a delight to collaborate with, and I'm very excited for what we've got cooking.

 

[Statius]

Im just not sure if my joke belongs here or in the LOTR thread?

 

[Erozetta]

I mean... My leadership style is to watch the chaos and give a chiding finger wag if things get nasty but not before. And I created the server on a whim of, "Oh, yeah, sure, why not?"

And now I like the damn thing and wanna do good in the world with it.


You at least have some organization on your side to temper my chaos, lol

Not sure I wanna get into cock rings... But who knows what @Rambling_Chantrix and @Erozetta are working on other than smut domination

Maybe I was referring to "purity-rings"...

Yeah, OK, no one here will believe that, will they.

Blasphemous heathen!

Oh wait.... That's me, just not about smut

It brings me joy when I can leverage the tools I learned from managing a kickstarter and being in a political cult for good, lol

So much easier said than done, unfortunately. Anyway, I'm on the verge of derailing this thread, I should probably cut the jokes.

That's a milestone! Me stopping myself derailing a thread-- too much

 

[NoTalentHack]

Nice.

I do keep finding the volume of people clicking on stories phenomenal.

Since 20th November last year, when I rolled over the million clicks, I have another 100,000 clicks on my stories.

How many people instantly click away, we don't know, but the numbers on this site a phenomenal.

Maybe, just maybe, that's why it occasionally falls over!

So, this morning I am officially paying 1 Gbps broadband prices for 5 Mbps broadband. @SugarStorm have you seen my axe?

When I headed to work this morning, I thought I saw it on the road to Mordor. It said something about getting its edge back. Seemed like a personal journey, you know? Not that magical axes are my thing.

I remember when my dad got us 0.5 Mbps (from a 128kbps ISDN connection). Proper hallelujah moment there. It felt like we lived in the future.

On the way to Mordor, did you meet a girl so fair? Did Gollum creep up and slip away with her?
