Badges are not high on my agenda, but it is nice to receive one when it is earned.
I took a quick look today and guess what? I don't have a Famous story badge. I never had one either.
I decided to check, and to my great pleasure, I discovered that I have twenty-two famous stories!
That has to be worth shouting about, doesn't it?

No famous stories for me yet. Takes a while around here, I guess, given the low traffic.

Quote by AnnaMayZingI tweet mine and promo them on a couple of my other (non-SS-related) forums but I don't exactly have hoards of followers (and, to be honest, I rather like it that way). Social media just isn't my thing. Even on here, I generally stick to the forums and don't get much into chatting or profile posting on friends' walls and that sort of thing.Quote by MendallaTo be honest, there is a magic word, Twitter.

Congratulations Anna, 22 famous stories is an excellent achievement and I know it didn’t happen by itself, you work hard to promote your work and this site. Thank you for that ❤
I’m afraid I don’t even know what constitutes a famous story and the full list of badges and their meanings has, sadly, not been transferred to the new site. Yet.
Now that my story is done, a few facts and figures.
3 Books:
The Nurses:
140,543 words
426 pages
42 Chapters.
Kindred Spirits, Distant Hearts:
115,792 words
351 pages
33 Chapters.
The Long Road Home:
132,442 words
401 pages
39 Chapters
Total:
388,777 words
1178 pages
114 Chapters
For a tale that began as a short story of around 5000 words, these figures come as somewhat of a shock. However, I have loved every minute of writing it and would like to thank the many thousands of people who read and enjoyed it. Especially those who left such wonderful comments.
Now it is done, I shall have to get it published. Who knows, that might take another six years! 😳

Just an update. I now have 28 famous stories (2500+ views). Still no badge though. 🤣

Shhh. You're making verbal jealous (he's wrestling with his first novel right now). 😋

Dang! I'm not worthy! Congrats on nearly half a million words!
I'm pulling out what little hair I have left trying to get to 110k!
As my daughter would say, I'm "jelly" of your accomplishments!

I wouldn't say that 110,000 isn't an accomplishment by any means. That is a full-length novel that a great many people would be envious of. Be proud! 👍😊
