Enjoy!
Death Stare poem, L is Real, writings took off with such zeal,
First multi-chaptered fic, M-rated to boot.
Teddy, Spence, Stewie B, all those villainous OCs,
Master Hand and Crazy Hands were sons of Master Core.
Iwata tribute, prequel fic, a crack pairing that's so slick
Contest entries and a drama tugging at the heartstrings
Down throw nerf was so crazy, Bayo won out over Daisy
Special New Year's Eve fic to close out the year…
[Chorus]
I didn't start the fire,
It was always burning
Since this site's been turning.
I didn't start the fire,
No, I didn't light it,
And we shouldn't fight it!
Contest host, Day of Wrath, ballot tallies did bad math,
Sneaky schemers plotted last year's update patch.
Tier list drama, 1P Mode, UC Davis, here I go!
L is Real sequel took up most of the year.
A hundred themes, song-basted stories, celebrating Weegee's glories,
Single-player campaigns got a novelization.
Making friends along the way, fic reviews, shout "Hooray!"
L is Real duology became a trilogy…
[Chorus]
Pikminfan, SeththeGreat, WriterofWorlds, all such good mates,
QuietBoyHood, Paradigm told wonderful tales.
SolarEnergy07, your reviews brought me up to Heaven!
L is Real threequel was a dark tragedy.
Writing with such energy, meeting Jimmy Prodigy,
Weegee's soul got ripped away, what else can I say?
[Chorus]
Weegee's character took a turn, a new direction, I did yearn;
Everyone is here, so enemies became friends.
Mario's Odyssey, LM3, Weegee's secret diary,
My magnum opus signaled a brand new day.
E. Gadd's rise, King Boo's fall, the lockdowns gave me time for all.
Turning from the tourneys to a brother's loyalty…
OC villains were redeemed; they're heroes now, it would seem.
You've read of the last 30 days, now read about the first.
[Chorus]
Fic ideas coming faster, old fics got a big remaster,
Some went in a new direction entirely.
Creative spirit shining bright, a tale of goodness and of light,
I hope to pick that one back up once I find the time.
Rain, snow, sleet or shine, I'll be writing fics so fine!
These past ten years served me well, now here's to ten more.
Got a prequel in the works, plus a road trip with some quirks,
And after that—well, just you wait and see…
I didn't start the fire,
But when I'm long gone,
May it still burn on, and on, and on, and on…
These past ten years have been a rollercoaster ride, and I wouldn't trade them for the world! Here's to the next ten years!
