FIFTY FREAKING FAVORITES.

It doesn't look like a word anymore. Just a weird bunch of symbols. I know it says "FIFTY," but my eyes can't quite comprehend it.

That's how it felt when I saw the number on the favorites list.

What the actual heck did I do to deserve fifty favorites? I made some Hamilton jokes. I wrote some parodies. I translated some songs.

And a year and a half later, I got fifty favorites. (Fifty one, actually.)

Thank you guys. So, so much. I cannot express how grateful I am to 21pefferc, AuroraMiri25, AwkwardJello, Betty's a little crazy22, Countess Eliza, Country-Fangirl, EmmaGranger80, G. E. Gabriels, Glitter-Fangirls-23, Glitterbutt23, Greteh, HamBurrger, HedwigIggyLover1214, HelpImAGayFanboy, HernameisBurrito, Idc at this point, JT a reading cat, Jillypotato, KotlcExpert521, KotlcForeverandever, LunaLovegood397, MagicDaydreamer, MidnightBunnyy, Nilla4, OveractiveImagination102, PepperThePuma, PercabethandLamsFTW, PercabethandLamsFTW1, Phantom Actress, Philippe Cuban, Piper Hamilton, ShyBean, Sofie Foster, SophieLunaChase, TheBackedUpT-Rex, The Forest Dog, Twins 'n Fandoms, UnderlyingLiberosis, Zline, and-peggy-schuyler-sis, buckyBarnes1970, catherine-cue3220, demigod ravenclaw, fnafan8008, hitthepin, ilovebooks12345678910, karizmadragon, kawaiipanda62, nekokenna, stargirl020, and yourdillpickle64 for the favorites. And that took a frickin long time to do, so be grateful for the list.

The only way I can properly express it is by drawing on the words of Lin Manuel Miranda.

First favorite: THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWNNNNNNNNNN-

Third favorite: Oh, am I fangirling too loud? Sometimes I get overexcited, pterodactyl screech at the mouth, I never had a group of fans before, I promise that I'll make y'all proud!

Fourth favorite: Raise a glass to the four of you, tomorrow there'll be more of you!

Tenth favorite: pRIDE IS NOT THE WORD I'M LOOKING FOR, THERE IS SO MUCH MORE INSIDE ME NOW!

Fifteenth: How does a teenage, snarky, nerd of theatre and a Hamilfan, who made an account on this awesome site and wrote some trash that somehow got popular, END UP WITH FIFTEEN FAVORITES!?

Eighteenth favorite: Well I'll be dammed, well I'll be dammed, I've got favorites on my fic! (Hehe. Eighteen? Election of eighteen hundred? Also, DAM JOKES!)

Twentieth favorite: FANFICTION DOESN'T DISCRIMINATE, BETWEEN THE SINNERS AND THE SAINTS, AND THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I'M GETTING FAVORITES!

Twenty fifth favorite: Woah, I have a lot of fans now. And they all want chapters. I better WRITE LIKE I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME!

Thirtieth favorite: Thirty!? Awesome, wow! I wasn't aware that was something a person could do!

Fortieth favorite: A. Fan come back to writing/ I have some writer's block so here're some memes/ But we're all so bored/ I know, I can't seem to write something down/ Please, could you write, like you're running out of time!/ Shh.../ Have forty favorites, would that be enough?/ I'll be back before you know I'm gone/ Come back to writing!/ This creativity is blocked./ Well, I'll favorite you anyway!/ Hey, best of fans and best of readers. (This was originally just the last line, but the song was short enough for a full on parody.)

Forty fifth favorite: Oh my Lin, you guys are amazing! Fully armed battalion coming your way! DA DA DA DAT DA!

Fiftieth favorite: There are moments that the words don't reach, there's a grace too powerful to name, she's so confused 'cause she doesn't understand, fifty favorites is unimaginable... she is scrolling through her chromebook, her cursor by this fanfic's title, she taps the screen. It's shocking downstairs! (I'm always in the basement.) Fifty favorites... can you imagine... fifty favorites... can you imagine?

(BONUS:)

Fifty one favorites: (All numbers true!)

In the end, this somehow got popular in the span of eighteen months!

She saw Wicked after writing five.

In total, she wrote twenty nine.

And was favorited by THE OTHER FIFTY ONE!

(Come on, I had fifty one favorites- you think I could keep from making this joke?)

Again, thank you guys so, so much. You're amazing and I'm so grateful you guys are on fanfiction. And we're almost at 300 reviews, another incredible milestone.

Keep being awesome! Your obedient author,

A. Fan.
