Letters From A Disgruntled Friendship Student

Wow.
Even months after knowing this is what I wanted to do to commemorate one million hits, that remains the only word I can come up with to express my reaction to getting Letters to a whopping seven digits.
Now that's not one million unique hits. Letters didn't go viral and captivate that many bronies. That's thousands of readers coming back again and again. To me, that's a success greater than unique hits.
For some time now, this story has been the most successful story I've ever posted online. Before this, it was my alternate ending to Cupcakes, which got onto Equestria Daily. I'm rather proud of the fact that Letters has gotten this popular from being spread around brony networks other than EqD. I have only come to dislike their fanfiction guidelines more and more strongly as time has gone on in my three years in the fandom.
More than anything, this story has helped the comedian in me thrive. Especially during Season 4, where I've attempted to deliver chapters on a consistent basis. It has helped me become much more confident in my jokes, as well as do my best to satisfy the 51 people who are laughing their flanks off, and to stop worrying about the 49 people that aren't. Along with other events as a brony, this story has helped me take a defiant stand against political correctness. Anything, anywhere has the potential to be funny.
Lastly, I would like to share how this story has had a positive effect on my life. Letters had been in the planning stages in the weeks leading up to the scariest moment of my life, the horrific truck crash in Arizona that put an end to my driving career. At the time I was putting finishing touches on The Cupcake Chronicles. As the days went on, we made our way home, and I contemplated the future of my driving, too naive at the time to know there was no chance of recovery. Seven weeks later, I was terminated, and my savings of $8500 slowly drained away keeping gas in the car and a roof over my head. This has proved to be the perfect stress reducer. Blowing off steam and making people laugh at the same time? It doesn't get more perfect than that.
From the bottom of my heart, thanks for reading.
Love,
milesprower06

Congratulations my friend.
This is wonderful
That's a nice pen. Love the old-timey ones.
Congratulations.
On an unrelated note, where'd you get that writing implement? I kinda want one.
You're very welcome. As long as you keep them coming, you'll have a reader in me.
You're welcome!
4206340 Staples.
And it's because of people like you that I try to be satirist myself.
I'm only a recent convert in the last two months, but I didn't know such horrific things happened to you that ended your passion and related so closely to your other stories. To know that this story helped you recover so quickly from such a life change makes my own problems seem so... petty.
Truly, you are an inspiration to those of us who laugh at what you write to make our days easier, and to those of us, like me, who wish to take that laughter you give us, and give it back to others.
I hope you never stop writing, because I think many of us here will never stop reading what you write.
Congrats!
You definitely deserved this!
Congrats to you milesprower06!

You've come a long way Miles. I remember stumbling upon Letters in the Feature Box on the home page, a little while before A Canterlot Wedding came out. Since I've read it, I've come to know quite an impressive writer with a helluvan interesting personality.
Congratulations, ol' friend.

Congrats, man.
That was beautiful. And of course, congratulations on the 1,000,000 hits.
Congrats!
Congratulations!
And EqD criticized this work of art for having the characters OOC...
You have taken OOC and made it into one of the most fucking hilarious stories of all time.
I would not worry about EqD, for they have no concept of thinking outside the box, and therefor, limit themselves severely.
You, good Sir, think outside the freakin planet!
Take a bow. You've certainly earned it!
4206535 I try my best to think inside a chimney.
Where's Pinkie at? She needs to throw ya a party something fierce, Miles. You've more than earned it.
Wow, you've really been through a lot. It makes me wonder how you make it through all of it and such a simple thing make you happy after all of that wow. I can only call that true perseverance. Congratulations miles, congratulations.
Congratulations!
Oh hell yeah.
Congratulations, you deserve it.
Happy to help.
And I'll keep coming back, and checking out anything else you happen to write.
These aren't tears, they're liquid pride.
Dear Princess Twilight,
Pinkie told you the name of her drug which is bitchass-ho be warned or just send her to the moon.
Goodbye,
Electric Brony
Now for 2,000,000!
Good Job miles, can't wait to read more chapters! also i like how you mix in RL events/times/news once in a while into your story, Keep going and keep being politically incorrect! we don't want you to change!
Congratulations!
Congratulations. Thank you for a twisted, persistently entertaining alternate read. May there be many more letters and views in the future.
Wooo!

Congratulations!!!
In past seasons, my wife and I would watch an episode on Saturday, and our first question after completing it was, "Do you want to watch again?" This season, it's been, "What do you think Letters From A Disgruntled Friendship Student is going to be like after this one?" You've provided so much joy, and I am glad to know that you are being provided joy by your success. Keep up the good work.
Congrats!
Sir, it was a pleasure to help contribute to that one million, even if it was a small percentage. Just keep on going strong.

That reminds me that I need to get new ink for my fountain pen...
Also, nice handwriting!
4207529 You're joking, right? My handwriting is atrocious.
4207545
If you think that is bad, you should see mine.
HUGS!
Well done, sir. Well done
And thanks for providing the perfect material to write responses to
4207768 A couple more months for those. Second anniversary isn't until June.

Try to get something published. Seriously. YOU. ARE. A. WRITER. And you could, now you should make money off of that. If you published something, I'd buy it. I mean, you can't publish fanfics because of copyright, but you know, something else.
LOL 69th most viewed. Very fitting.
We love you!
If fanfics could be legally published I'd buy this one.
Thanks, your welcome, and keep it up, we love you.
