I'm pleased to boast that my Website has now passed a million hits, present total standing at 1,000,063.  Wheee!  I'm sure the total is higher, since the site was up for a while before I put in the counter, but it's still nice to have the visual confirmation, as it were. 

I figured I'd pass the million mark sometime this year, but I wasn't expecting it until next month at the soonest.  Light in the Mirror has been up for 4.36 years, according to Freeservers, which puts it at sometime in 2004, I guess--I can't remember precisely.  I do know it was after I started posting CSI fanfic on Fanfiction.net, so that seems to match. 

Thank you so much to everyone who has gone to my site to read my stories all this time.  I know, it's only fic, but it means something to me.  *beam*  Thank you for your patience and feedback and recommendations and just for coming back!

That's so very cool! As one who has spent many an hour on your site I would like to thank you for putting it up and making your work available.

I know, it's only fic, but it means something to me.

It brings great joy, and much needed distraction, at times when withdrawing is necessary. It may sound silly but your fic has gotten me through some serious crap. You and a couple of other really do make life good.

God I sound like an ass kisser. *blush*

Actually, you sound very kind--thank you! :D I'm glad my stories make you happy. People like you are why I still HAVE a site up.

Hee, I'm so happy for you, VR--and it simply confirms something I've known all along; namely, when you write well, people will seek it out!

*tosses confetti!*

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks! I'm pretty delighted!

[tres_mechante.livejournal.com]

That is awesome! And for the record, it isn't only fic - it's a part of you that you gift to your readers. I don't comment as I should, but please let me say it now: Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.

*hugs & champaigne*

Congratulations on a well-deserved milestone. I will not confess how many of the one million hits are mine and you can't make me. But I will admit to being a HUGE fan of your prose.

Champagne and chocolate-coverred strawberries all around!!

Ooh, strawberries... Thank you for commenting--I'm always glad to see your name come up! :D

Congratulations on 1,000,000 hits!

I think I'm only responsible for 250,000 or so. :B

Seriously though, your site is a wonderful place to get lost and forget the world for a while, and though I originally started going there for the CSI fics, I've discovered the joy of your other stories as well.

Thank you.

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thank you for reading. You are always a joy to hear from!

Thank you for putting it up.

And really does a fellow English major need to explain why what you write is important? Don't get me started. I may not be able to do what you do, but what you create and allow me and (countless others) to read improved my life in ways I could never describe in words.

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

I may not be able to do what you do, And once again I say, prove it. :P I don't believe you, you know.

Thank you, my dear.

1 million hits

Congrats on the stats. But most of all, thanks for many hours of really good stories about GSR. You've made me laugh and cry in one story but most of all you've made me care deeply for these wonderful characters. anne
