On Losing

I was informed that I failed to advance in the Aniblog Tourney. I can’t say that I’m disappointed or surprised. I had a tough group which included the winner of the last Aniblog Tourney, after all. My scrappy little blog, barely six months old, had itself a great run. More than anything, I’m proud that I didn’t devolve into name-calling, trolling or general animosity towards my competitors. It’s really the last thing we need in this little community of ours.

My hope is that the Aniblog Tourney would allow my thoughts to reach a greater number of viewers. Clearly, this has been the case. I’m glad. For every 100 people who visit my site, I hope that one of them will find it worth their time and continue reading. I’ve never been one to care especially about daily views or anything like that. One guy that reads 10 of my posts is worth much more to me than 10,000 people who cursorily glance at my site and move on.

So I’d like to thank all of you, dear readers, for continuing to support me. You guys keep me going. Hearing your feedback, knowing that you’re out there, thinking about what I’ve written― it’s mindblowing. It’s humbling. It’s motivating, it’s inspiring. So here’s to moe. To the memory of youth, to beautiful blonde girls, well-defined collarbones and gorgeous, slender shoulders. Prost.

Everyone continue to vote for Yi. I would commit massive voter fraud for her if only I could figure out how these computer things worked.

  1. It was an honor to be in the same group as you. Keep it classy, my darling. ^ ^ And thank you so much for the support!

  2. I came to know your blog thanks to the tourney, at least I’m sure I’ll be checking regularly for updates since such great themes are discussed here. Keep up the good work.

  3. Good run, Akira. I love your writing and I definitely believe you deserved to go far. It was just tough because you had quite the group of death. Keep fighting the good fight!

Don't be shy. Say something.
