There has to be a first milestone.

Welcome aboard.

Got my second W today, and I got it for a story that's deeply personal. The culmination of everything I've been doing and working on for, like, five years now. Maybe six.

Feels good.

Just hit 100 followers. I know some of you folks are legends in your own lunch time but it feels special to me, considering my stories are pretty niche and I'm certainly less than prolific.

It seems I've been at 108 for a very long time. I have had new people follow (some in the past week), but it hasn't changed in forever. It seems I get a new one and lose an old follower at the same time.

39 of 40 red H’s. No sweep is going to repair the one miss. I blame Duleigh for convincing me to write a 750 word tale (or was it tail?) . Luckily it was received so poorly if I take it down, no one will notice…

My 750 word stories never crack a Red H either.

Still, I consider a 4 or higher a great score.

If you remove the story, you've ruined your milestone. No one is perfect, and their scores should reflect that they aren't perfect. Do you know what happens if you are perfect? You die! Because there is nothing left for you to learn or learning to be gained from you. And besides that, people like to kill perfection. Ask Christ about that.

I wouldn’t seriously consider taking down my 750-worder. Someone on the AH wrote a few years ago that it’s actually cathartic when you no longer have an unblemished red H streak. At the time I thought it was justification for that author’s circumstance, but I’ve since come to agree. It may even provide the impetus for me to finally publish in LW. We’ll see…

No, no, no don't go there, just NO!

Last week, I trimmed my fingernails.

Now, if you want to brag about that, it must have been done with a chainsaw or a jackhammer kind of tool!

Published my first poem, non-erotic even.

Well, not so much a "poem" as the short, late night ramblings of a brain cluttered insomniac who dreaded getting up for work in the morning.

I think that's true. Once you have a story fall short of the mark, you stop worrying so much about it.

Got that out of the way with the first one.

I posted my first story here 21 years ago, a month before the wondrous Ogg joined Lit (under that name, he used to read anonymously, as I did, before that). I had exactly one grey pube then.

My "Cindy Heller" humor and satire story topped the toplist for six months, and I got 'E's for that, and three other stories.

I really think you have to tell us how many grey pubes you have now. It's a Chekhov's Revolver kind of thing.

The only black hairs I have now are in my nose and ears

It counts and so does the 100 mark. For me, getting over the 110 seems to be on hold. And yes, I probably needs a new story to get to that mark.

A little ditty from the old west bandit, Black Bart the Gentleman Bandit

Here I lay me down to sleep
To wait the coming morrow,
Perhaps success, perhaps defeat,
And everlasting sorrow.
Let come what will, I’ll try it on,

My condition can’t be worse;
And if there’s money in that box
‘Tis munny in my purse.
-Black Bart

Over 500 Favourites.
Not that they necessarily mean much - often just a bookmark, and someone recently managed to fave two chapters three times each in a day - but it's something above total indifference.

42 out of 57 Hs, another five have had or would if they had more votes. The rest include stories that are more experimental or straddle categories, not giving readers what they might expect, and the 750 word ones.

Onward with the next story (or four, that I'm in the middle of...)

Finally hit 200 followers in only 8 months.

Well TECHNICALLY I have 198, because of @NoTalentHack , @seraph_nocturne, @DomBombadil, and @MsFrizzleFucks

While I certainly appreciate it,

I don't know why you followed me, LC...? You know what the fuck I write. You don't wanna read what I have to offer
