Thanks to you all, Sky Pride has more than seven thousand followers. Slumrat Rising, as I ntioned before, peaked at just over six, and Weeaboo is still around three and change. Seven thousand and rising is really huge. It puts the book in the sa conversation with a fairly small band of other books on this site. Not the very top tier, but way, way up there. It gives a pride and confidence that is hard to put into words. Embarassing situation for an author, but an embarassnt I treasure.
What is also huge to personally is that, thanks to the comnts, the ratings, the reviews, we have constantly been a top 10 rated story on , and a top 10 (usually a top 5!) rated story on Ongoing. Which is... I don't even have words. Mind blowing. And for a hot second, a refresh and you miss it second, we were #1 in ongoing. Which, given that Super Supportive is camped out there with its well deserved THIRTY THOUSAND followers, was... pretty damn moving.
Today has been a bastard in a lot of ways. I was determined to build my first PC by hand (as opposed to pre-built) because I wanted a small form factor PC that could ga. Did you know that you can watch a dozen youtube videos on how to do sothing, and still cock it up? Well, maybe you can't, but I am a very special sort of person. Elite. Built different.
This text was taken from . Help the author by reading the original version there.
Eventually I had to take it to a PC repair place who told I had, despite having the manuals open in front of , managed to miswire not one but two power connectors. Which... is a form of overachieving, I feel. I am therefore a superior builder to the builder who makes only one or no mistakes.
Then my windows install managed to fight every step of the way, up to and including not detecting the network, or the network card, or bluetooth. Even when I did the workaround, it STILL wouldn't detect them. Then, after repeated restarts and so hastily updated drivers delivered via USB, it all started working again. Now I just need to remind my wireless keyboard that it is, in fact, wireless and should probably CONNECT TO ITS GODDAMN DONGLE. And other minor irritations.
But you know what makes it all better? Watching the book I've been working my ass off on take off. Seeing that other people like it too. Like it enough to read it, to talk about it, to rate it and support it. It might be a frustrating, tiring sort of day, but damn if it isn't ending well.
Thank you all so much.
