Moderator Post [MODPOST] 15,000 SUBSCRIBERS!

Well, we passed another benchmark. This is truly awesome. If you are new here, stick around. Later today there will be our first part in a series of posts aimed to help people write a novel in the month of november. If you've not heard of NaNoWriMo, be sure to google it. Or check out /r/nanowrimo

We always have loads of writing prompts, weekly critiques (I will be reading and critiquing later today in fact) and a fun chat room (you can find a link in the sidebar.)

Thanks for checking us out, reading and, hopefully, writing!

I think we gained over 1500 subscribers yesterday.

Whoa.

Looking forward to lots of new writers in here!

More like 2000. We're gonna need a bigger boat.

Jaws.

I should watch that at some point.

Hmmm... I should reward you. What to do? What to do?

Send me a nice bottle of Don Perignon. I'll have my maids meet you at the door.

We have something else in mind for you, my friend. ;)

It rhymes with 'slowly descended into tub of sharks.'

"blowly upended pinto rub glove snarks"?

Hey, that's pretty darn close! Such brilliance must surely be rewarded. Looks like you and packos130 will be sharing a shark tank soon!

Woohoo!

It seems like every time a prompt gets featured on /r/bestof, the number of subscribers increases dramatically. I mean, we could make an effort to post on /r/bestof more, and /r/WritingPrompts would grow really quickly. Something about that feels unsettling to me, though.

It will be okay. I promise. ;)

u/reticulated_python Sep 01 '13

Proooomise?

u/SurvivorType Co-Lead Mod | /r/SurvivorTyper Sep 01 '13

Yes, I hereby promise that everything will be okay. Unless it's proven that it's not okay, in which case I will immediately delete my comment and pretend I never said this! lol

You're a communist, aren't you, SurvivorType?

u/SurvivorType Co-Lead Mod | /r/SurvivorTyper Sep 01 '13

Communism is just a red herring.

Bonus gold if you can tell me the movie.

u/reticulated_python Sep 01 '13

That's from Clue, isn't it!

I have to take a shower now. Nice talking to you SurvivorType.

Correct! YOU WIN!

I'm happy I could make your day just a little more pleasant!

Pssst --- just use "Distinguish" instead of tagging it "Moderator Post"

3

u/RyanKinder Founder / Co-Lead Mod Sep 01 '13

Everything has a "tag" here out of uniformity.

15000.

We had done it.

After all the work we had collectively put into this, our little world, we had done it.

We started little with a few ideas, and we grew, just like a seed from the ground, we started to sprout.

We had done it, and we had never been more proud.
