New Milestones Thread

[ColtonWrites]

I just had a story hit 100 votes (with a 4.76 ranking) so thats pretty cool.

Also finished another story!

 

[GemmaGemmaGemma]

I hit 1000 followers overnight, pretty cool. The majority of my stories are in I/T which helps.

I posted my first two stories in 2018 and 2019, but they were just responses to dirtywritingprompts on reddit that I decided to put on here for the hell of it. I gave it another go in 2020 and posted 5 stories that year but didn't think it was going to be for me.

I had the urge to write another story in late 2023, and ended up doing some reading which got me back into it. The story I planned to make my comeback with never got written, but one of the stories I read inspired The Running Partner which was posted in December 2023. I decided around then that I wanted to take this a bit more seriously because I had so many ideas, and have written another 23 stories in the two years since. I could and should write quicker sometimes but overall pretty happy with what I have managed to get done, and I have high hopes for many more stories to come

Got my first comment yesterday.

Feels like a milestone to me!

It was complimentary, which was lovely.

It’s been a long time since I’ve read a good book. Thank you.

You called down the thunder, well now you've got it.

You're a daisy if you do.

...oops, this is the milestones thread not the Tombstone thread.

It took over a year, but On a Wing and a Prayer finally made it to number one on the Lesbian Sex top list. Thanks to any AH members who read it and helped push it over the top. That's my seventh story to hold the top spot, however briefly.

Because it's not there anymore, of course. Having taken 9 months to move from 90 to 100 votes, overnight it received 5 extra votes, and dropped to 4.83. The top list troll has fulfilled it's noble function once again!

(Naturally, had it not been for the troll, 4.91 wouldn't even have been enough for the top twenty, let alone number one. But I'm taking the win anyway!)

Got my first anonymous comment saying my story looks like it was written by AI.

I'M ON FIRE!

So, someone needs to come to your defense and say something profound, like, "No, it doesn't."

For shits and giggles, I'm even willing to accept "Nah, even AI slop is better than this"

"This narrative contains strong indicators of organic authorship. Its structure and content display emergent complexity, nuance, and contextual grounding inconsistent with current LLM generative patterns."

I am sure my scores will suffer for pointing this out, but I currently manage to hold 20% of the 50 top EC stories on the all-time list, I’m calling it a milestone because I realized I currently hold #1. And 10% of the top 50 Group Sex stories.

I wish you no ill will, and you have nothing to fear from me, but seriously, friend.

A few days ago, one Lit member liked 42 of my 46 stories (probably bookmarking for later reading) and followed me. Never had that happen before.

I hope they comment on each and every one as they work through your catalog

Thanks, probably too much to count on though!

Yesterday was the ninth anniversary of the publication of my first story. I cannot believe it's been that long. It has been a fun run and I plan to keep it going. I've got to get back on the publishing wagon, however. Tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of the publication of my LAST story, which is a terrible record. I've published 64 stories in all, which isn't an especially impressive pace.

I'm not going to make any particular predictions or detailed plans, except to plan that this coming year will be more impressive than the last one.

I'm not going to make any particular predictions or detailed plans...

Kind of disappointed to hear you won't be doom-saying anything about the future...

Without making any hard and fast forecasts, I'm working on finishing the second chapter of an incest story I wrote a year ago, finishing a smoking fetish story, and contributing to the Pink Orchid event early next year.

Wishin' and hopin' as always.

 

[ADirtyPerv]

finishing a smoking fetish story

TIL about smoking fetishes. Fascinating. You write good stuff, so I'll hold out for that one to get a taste of the genre. I'm not sure how one fetishizes that.

Publish a single 750 worder, and you've exceeded your target 100%.

Have faith, Mister Doom!

This person is a plant for the Marlboro Corporation, I swear. Added to read later, the first thousand words were sexy as hell. Bad. Bad @ElectricBlue.

I don't know if a first story counts as a milestone or not, but my first story went live overnight, Reflections of Desire.

 

[ADirtyPerv]

I hit 1000 followers. 22 stories in I/T since June, like 300k words published. I might have gotten a tad obsessive. But it's fun to watch the number go up!

 

[DEFCOM5]

My milestone is simply that for the first time in over a month, I wrote a story. A short (2K words) romance without sex story.

Might not mean a lot but it is REALY BIG for me
