Well then. After a paltry three days, Side Effects has racked up almost as many views as any other story in my gallery, with almost twice as many favorites! Double! What?! I'm blown away. I can't even understand it. That's not even mentioning the rash of watches (for which I'm ever grateful, of course). Now, I'm no numerical genius, though I do have a mind for statistics, but from what I've come to understand, this particular story is a rather popular one. So much so that I'm awed by the audience reaction to it.

In fact. I suppose that this journal entry has no real purpose other than to simply acknowledge my own amazement. I suppose I'm just curious as to the sudden and mysterious jolt of attention, considering I don't really think that this is my best transformation piece. Was it the fact that it was a cow? Was it the boob-focus? Was it the pacing? I mean, I'm far from complaining. If anything I feel honored. I'm just excitedly perplexed, if that's even a viable combination of states-of-mind.

Also, and wholly unrelated to the topic of this journal, is it bad that I want to have a barracuda character for the sole purpose of having a different character call him or her a "barracutie"? I want it. I want it so bad, simply for that one, single sentence. It would complete me.
