The Milestone thread...Brag here.

[MelissaBaby]

It always bugs when people are all 200,000 views, all red H’s, golden toilets etc.

Whatever is a big achievement to you, you celebrate it and we’ll be here for you to do so.

Go you!

For most of us, the biggest milestone of all is when we submit that first story.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would be on this list with some of these all time heavy hitters. I was fortunate enough to post two well received stories in the past week I Found My Wife's Black Dildo 1 & 2 that have jumpstarted my follower count. But to be #2 for a seven day period and followed by some all time icons on Lit makes me really proud. I'll drop like a rock in the coming days and weeks, but for this one moment in time, it's pretty f'ing cool.

Where is that list? Wouldn’t mind finding myself…at number 5,049.

One of my stories, At the End of the Tour, accumulated 500 comments this morning, about 11 months after publishing. Of course, a solid 100 or so of those are "You ruined the ending with the sequel," but...

That's a staggering number. Actually too many. We all love comments, but that's a lot of non writing time reading all of those...

I was about to ask what a golden toilet is and how do I win one of those... you know what? Never mind.

If you aren't fucking with me and do want to see it: From your My Home page click on the Explore icon at the top of the page. In the drop down box click on Favorites. Scroll down the page until you see Most Followed Authors on the right hand side. Click on More Most Followed Authors. The list of the top 280 All-Time, 30 days, and 7 days are there for viewing. Why 280? I have no fucking idea...

The final (hah) chapter of the story I first published on Lit in '06 will go live in a few days. It's a good feeling - although I've already been told I need to come back with an 'update' on how their lives are 20 years later.....

I know I've mentioned in various places here and to various people how the story originated - my exes nephew had recently turned 18 and flirted like a fiend with me - not my type, ew - but it was funny and I came home to write a story about him. Called it incest, although technically it isn't, published it and added a few chapters over the years.

Went to a memorial for a family member last week and saw the 'kid' again from a distance - he's now 35? years old and good grief....how the heck did we all get so old? Still not my type, for anyone keeping score. A 20-year update might not be a bad thing....

Now on to the dozen or so drafts languishing in my folder, they may have a chance for my attention at some point soon.

300 in less than 12 months.

I never thought I could do it, honest.

 

[SimonDoom]

I just passed ten million total views.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Holy crapatosis, Batman, that's a lot of reads!

I just passed ten million total views.

 

[Publius68]

I just passed ten million total views.

That is incredible. I just went and totaled up my own views, expecting to be over halfway to a million, and feeling lightheaded about that.
I have 3.7 million views.
That is... mind-boggling.
No matter how views here are defined... 3.7 million page views of my silly, stupid smut is... terrifying.

To have TEN million?!? Holy shit. I bow to the buddha nature of your genitals...

 

[Codoc24]

Well, after SimonDoom and Publius68 talked about millions of views, mine seems a little pathetic. I hate to follow their posts. My first story that I published in 11/2022 just passed 30,000 views. woot woot. I'm happy that it has a 4.7 rating too.

 

[pink_silk_glove]

My oldest story posted three and a half years ago has less than 5k hits. All six of my submissions have less than 20k combines hits. None of my stories have anywhere near 4.5 rating.

Keep banging at it, use Prowriter for editing, and #1 - look at the world around you, get your characters from the characters you already know. Let the world set your stage, you just have to add dialogue

Oh, there's nothing wrong with my work.

Thanks though.

If your work is good but you're barely reaching 4.5 then maybe you should get out an meet some people, help a friend it need, have a wild fling something to get in touch with humanity so people will like you

Play nice, puppy boy.

Play nice, puppy boy.

Obviously, he measures his self-esteem by the scores he gets. To each their own.

Hit 1500 votes on my story Last Few Days of Summer in 14 months. People seem to like it and I'm pleased it's been nominated for the Reader's Choice award for 2022.

[samhasstories]

Probably not a milestone per se, but I recently published part 4 in a series that started in 2018. The new one seems to be getting some positive results, which is nice on its own, but I'm also seeing some renewed activity - new favorites, etc. - for the old ones. Which makes intuitive sense, but the idea of people sort of bingeing the previous entries to catch up for the new one is gratifying.

We made the trip between OKC and Denver in record time yesterday. Eight hours and forty-five minutes, meaning Jo sped the whole way. I'm super surprised we didn't get pulled over and ticketed.

 

[SyleusSnow]

A personal milestone: today I hit 1200 followers on Lit.

34 stories, 255,958 words, 93 main characters created and 93 orgasms described (yes, I keep count *grin*) with 1,646,270 total views.

And it only took 6 years, 8 months, 1 week and 5 days since posting my first story in Feb 2017.

With kids that's an easy 11... No idea how you did that.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Snacks for Donnie, bladder control for me, and 5 stops to empty out us, fuel, and get back on the road. I suspect we doing around 90+ mph much of the time. If Donnie complained about needing to go, we'd pull off and find a place for him. We only got fuel on 3 of the stops. You'd be surprised how fast a souped-up 1970 Mustang Mach-3 Fastback can go. In fact, I sat in the back seat with Donnie and avoided looking outside the car. I don't think Donnie likes traveling much right now. However, he did get a lot of sleep on the way.

At 54 years old I beat my old high score of 265kmh on a public road. I went 266 and washed my underwear with a pressure cleaner when I got home. God bless motorcycles.
