To those who follow my work and those who have contributed to Sonic Feet Reborn over the past years, I am honored by all the hard work and love that has gone into this story as a whole and I would like to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to you all! Today marks the seventh anniversary of SFR and I could not be more proud to say that it currently has 328 chapters in total. It has been quite a fantastic journey and I look forward to many more new additions! Also you can look forward to more chapters from myself on the way! |
Friends, I feel extreme guilt over my spotty at best login and postings for the past two years. I apologize for the almost criminal amount of times i've logged back in, felt guilty, made a post and then left without a word for months to wash, rinse, repeat. You don't deserve that kind of treatment, those of you who have paid for my work especially. I want to be here, writing for you all. It gives me pure joy to post a new chapter, but as of late, I have had an extremely hard time doing so. No more excuses, no more fanfare, you deserve better from me: Your eternal servant, STTB |
Back again, Have had a very trying couple of months, Life does tend to get in the way, but that's no excuse. I apologize, but don't feel as if I deserve to be forgiven for making my commissioners wait for so long. No more broken promises, if you've been patient with me this long, I profusely apologize, but do not expect anything in return. Thank you for waiting. STTB |
For those of you who have fan'd me, or have been waiting for a chapter from me, I would like to say, No! Your eyes do not deceive you! For the first time in ages, I have written and posted a chapter to Sonic Feet Reborn! I would like to take this time to apologize to those whom I have kept waiting and thank those who have been patient during this chapter of my life. I am glad to be back and hope to satisfy and serve to the best of my abilities. Your humble servant, Servant to the Blue |
Greetings, I am writing this right now to let everyone know I'm not dead, I also feel I need to apologize for a few things too, the first of which is for being away for so long. I have no real way to continue this, so I'll just come out and say it, I have hit an all time low with what I and my family and friends believe to be depression. I have had a very stress inducing semester of college and I am trying to sort through my personal life as best I can. I can only ask for patience as I try to deal with this beast in the best way that I can. I feel awful and that I've let a few people down. If I owe anyone a chapter, I will make every effort to get to it as soon as possible, but as I said, I need to take time to get my personal life in order. I will be back as soon as possible. Thank you for your friendship, love and support, STTB |
I understand about depression. I'm currently dealing with it and it's been severe lately. Take care of yourself. |
I may have only known you for 10 months, but I feel like you and I have spent a lifetime together. We've been through ups and downs, helping each other all along the way. I can say with the utmost confidence that you deserve every iota of happiness that this world has to offer. I know things seem really rough right now, but know that there is a light at the end of this tunnel. I love you with all my heart and will do whatever it takes to ensure your happiness comes back. If it's any consolation, the past 10 months with you have been some of the happiest I've ever had. Even during the bad times, just having you around made absolutely all the difference. I couldn't be more proud to call you my dear friend, brother, and perhaps most importantly; my loved one. I love you so much fuzzbutt. |
To get fans, besides entering contests, blogging, and generally socializing, one of the easiest ways, IMO, is to hang out on the Community Newsfeed instead of just your personal one. When someone clicks Newsfeed on the left, they only see what is on their Personal Newsfeed. This is only stuff from people they have clicked the Plus sign (by their name) of. Clicking someone's Plus sign means you are becoming an fan or are favoriting them. After that, anytime you click Newsfeed on the left, they will now appear on your Personal Newsfeed when they post in their notebook.
But if you are advertising, you want to have as many folks as possible read your newsfeed posts. This means you need fans. To find fans, since I suspect you are in a niche area, one thing you can do is do a Search for members who are into the same stuff and start posting on their newsfeed (AKA in their notebook) and sending them social emails to start making friends. You can even tell them to click your Plus sign to start seeing what you are posting since you like similar things. Of course, don't do this right off the bat. You want to make friends first, not come across as a salesman.
Another thing you can do is look at everyone who has added to your interactive and cross reference that with your Fan list to see who isn't a fan of you already. Then do the same thing as above, targeting people who have already added to your interactive.
Finally, you can go to your Personal Newsfeed by clicking Newsfeed on the left side, then click "View the Community Newsfeed" on the top-ish part of your Personal Newsfeed. This will show you EVERYONE'S posts. Start clicking Like and commenting on stuff. Over time, when you've been doing this for a while, people will start becoming your friend and will click your Plus sign. Thus, whenever you post, they will see it, even if they are only on their Personal Newsfeed.
Good luck and congratulations on so many chapters! WOOHOO!!!
