New Milestones Thread

Apparently they follow you around, but you haven't been caught yet.

(And congrats on the milestone of course!)
No, they haven't, but I can hear the footsteps, and when I look back, they are with those lustful eyes, drooling mouths, and licking their chops. Oh, goodness, way too many men! So, I make sure to keep a safe distance between us. Fortunately, they aren't organized.

Throw them some story scraps from time to time. It’s usually enough to keep the rambunctious horde at bay.

I recently looked up someone who had favorited one of my stories. He/she/they have been with LE for seven years and my story was only their fourth favorite listed. Two of the others were high-scoring stories by one of my favorite authors which gave my ego an even bigger boost.

I know it is possible they meant to merely put my story into their reader list and misfiled it, but it was a kick nonetheless.
 
.but that screen shot may as well be a bullseye.
I know. I've been here before:

Last time, I didn't post a screen shot and it still dropped down the list within a couple of days. So I figure I've got nothing to lose this time.

True, the top list snipers will always see it, the forum type are lazy and need to be handed the target

Only way around it is to have so many votes it would take a concerted effort and by more than one person to get it down, but that doesn't happen often.

My issue with any top list is seeing a story that's had a high score that's endured for several years, hundreds to thousands of votes, and gets supplanted by chapter 99 of an endless series that has a 4.95 because only 40 people are reading it. Yours is fairly new, but at least the one over and just behind yours is carrying a good vote total.
 
I'll preface this by saying it will be short lived, but right now, for today...

I slipped into the #2 spot on the most followed author's list.

But its Heyall, I just passed and he's a lot more prolific than I am, but in this moment? I'll take it.
I noticed that and wondered if you had been in that place previously? Weird to see two of the top three most followed authors within only a couple of followers of each other. Congrats to you both for incomprehensible success. Now only ~30k more to catch Silkstockingslover…

No one is catching Silk. She could stop writing today and would still getting favs every day.

This is the highest I've been. I was number three once, and Heyall passed me and Tx Tall Tales who had been ahead of me but I went passed them some time back.

Like I said, it will be brief, Heyall puts a lot of stories up, I put all my new work for sale and just drop an old story here a couple times a year.

I am proud of the fact I have less than half of his story file, but am right there because I've had a few stories that have really hit.
 
Milestone 1) 200 followers. Which is nothing for those of you with over 1K or even 10K, I know. That is in spite of milestone (2)...

Milestone 2) After almost a year hiatus, my most recent novella was actually kicked back for edits a few weeks ago, after a couple of weeks of being up! Not appropriately in my view, but as is often said in the hangout, we are but guests of another's house here...
