Through the Eyes of the Governor

Milestone Achievement Gift

Holy crap--we did it! WOOO!!!!
Oh man, thank you guys SO MUCH for allowing this story to reach this milestone of ten-thousand views. You guys have NO IDEA how much this means to me. You know, I've been writing this story for over three years now and it took me TWO YEARS to get to just FIVE THOUSAND views. And it may have been two factors: 1.) Not many people being fans of the Governor. And 2.) That I was not very good at formatting my story when I wrote Part 1 three years ago. I was pretty new to creative writing at that point and it was actually because of my lovely friend Robin that I learned how to format it properly, so if she reads this, thank you, Robin and much love to you <3
Anyway, because of those things, when I did finally got to five thousand views, it felt all the more satisfying, because moving past those setbacks was challenging, but all the while worth it in the end. And then, thanks to an old friend of mine named Morgan, I went back and looked at Part 1 and saw the formatting wasn't as good as it could be, so I went back and fixed and added some extra dialogue in. After that, the views just kept POURING IN. In what took me TWO YEARS to get five thousand views, I did again in only HALF THE TIME. It could also be that more people know about, so there's more people spreading it around, but I like to think they're BOTH the reasons why lol
My favorite part to add into Part 1 was when Nick was telling Philip at his birthday party in an implying and smartass (but joking) way--RIGHT IN FRONT OF SARAH--not to masturbate in his bathroom when he was going to take a piss lol xD
Don't judge me...much. And I'm saying all of this after seeing the Eugene "bite, don't swallow" scene on TV, so I'm still in an "eleven year-old state-of-mind" as Josh McDermitt put it on Talking Dead lol
But, yeah, on a more serious note, getting to just FIVE THOUSAND views last year was AMAZING. I think it was around the time Part 2 ended (around May, I think?) But yeah, these views are amazing to me, because I don't think of the views as just a number, but as actual people and just picturing and imagining THAT MANY PEOPLE reading my story is just amazing. I know that I've mentioned the Youtube guy Markiplier in some of the Author's Note Chapters in the past, and the reason I'm bringing him up now is because he always gets overwhelmed with this satisfactory feeling (and emotional at times too) when reaching his own milestones and I totally get it, because when you work on something so hard (even if it's just for fun), it can create such a happy and satisfactory feeling inside of you to go back and reflect on the work you've put into it and see how other people enjoy it.
And now, we're not at five thousand, but TEN thousand views. Holy hell. And that just means THE WORLD to me. YOU GUYS mean the world to me. And I say that, because you guys don't troll me with crap, you guys don't insult me or anything, you just love what I write and at times when you don't, you give constructive criticisms, which I absolutely appreciate to no end. I haven't really gotten any negative feedback since the beginning of this story, but I do get constructive feedback from people like my friend Angy and others from time to time. Oh yeah, SPEAKING OF TROLLING, I saw the comment someone made on Tumblr on the "10,000 Views Surprise" chapter post that walkingdeadfanfiction.com made, and it said "Through the EYE of the Governor." Very funny. Very original *rolls eyes*
Nah, I'm just kidding lol
I thought it was funny when I first saw that three years ago, so it's not really funny to me NOW, but it's okay. I'll let my Tumblr fans have their fun. I luvs them, so it's fiiiiiine haha


Okay, so, WHAT'S YOUR GIFT, YOU MIGHT ASK??? It's this:
The early release of Chapter 39. Now, I said I would take a break from posting to focus on finishing up Part 3, but I decided since we were so close to the 10,000 view milestone, I wanted to thank you guys by releasing this chapter early. And trust me when I say that it's a great chapter. It's got violence, a bittersweet moment, and an...interesting ending. So, be sure to look out for that. I won't post it tonight, since it's really late and I've got school tomorrow, but then I get to come home and...finish a paper in my writing class. It's a creative nonfiction story about one of my buds, so it should actually be a bit fun, but I'll see if I can post tomorrow. If not, then I'll post it sometime between Tuesday and Friday. Probably Friday, since I don't have school then.
Also, before I give my final message, I think I said I was going to give you guys more details into my project "Project: War Games" in the last author's note, but I think I'll wait until Part 3 is done. Also, we may have already reached the final five chapters of Part 3. The one I'm working on right now is Chapter 41, but I may split it into two chapters, since there is A LOT that happens. Otherwise, I feel like it may overwhelm the reader, because it would probably end up around, like, sixteen pages and half of it would be intense, emotional dialogue and crap. I just don't want to fry your brains...or mine when I have edit all of that lol
So, with all that said, I hope you guys enjoyed what I had to say; and also, thank you guys SO MUCH for all that you've done for me. I am now setting a new and FINAL goal for this story at 15,000 Views. Think we can do it, guys? And hey, if all goes well and we reach that goal before Part 4 even starts, I'll set a final...FINAL goal at 20,000 lol
See ya!

Notes

Metal Gear Solid Fans:


For any Metal Gear Solid fans out there who knew about the fan-made remake of Metal Gear Solid 1 being remade in the Unreal Engine 4 under the Shadow Moses title being cancelled, I feel your pain. Indie and fan remade titles can be REALLY fun to play at times, even if they don't compare to the Triple A games of today. Fan remakes and indie games in general can be really awesome! And I guess Shadow Moses was cancelled, because Konami may have decided recently that without Kojima, they may just make a remake of MGS 1 and possibly 2. Because fans would love to see that finally happen (and with next gen hardware, it could turn into something AMAZING.) Plus, any other canon MGS story Konami makes without Kojima (unless it's about The Boss in World War II) would not convince longtime MGS fans to come back to a new story, without Hideo Kojima and certainly not after what they did to him at the Game Awards. I will post the video of that peaked my interest the most about the fan remake, as well as it's trailer, and it's cancellation video down below. Oh, and what Konami did to Kojima at the Game Awards, because...well, they done goofed on that one, didn't they? See you guys later!

So, apparently, I think there is a LIMIT on the amount of characters I can put in the character listings. I'm not sure why that is, but I will try and see if I can get the administrators to fix that.
