Ponythread LV:55 Ponythread learns Agility!

I miss that counter. Before they removed it, I think I was at around eight million words read; it's probably jumped to around twelve by now.

...I have no life.

And here's some math to prove it, using ten minutes and Excel.

Assuming:

• The majority of stories (60%) is at or around the Fimfiction minimum of 1000 words;
• Around 30% of stories are around 10K words, or a smaller story.
• Around 9% are longer stories of 100K or smaller.
• One percent are stories like Background Pony, or the End of Ponies, and stretch past the 300K mark.
• There are a few outliers that stretch to 600K+ words. We'll just call them a round 2.5 million for the whole of them. This includes Project Horizons, a Dangerous Business, Fallout: Equestria, and other doorstoppers.

If you total all the stories and run the numbers, you wind up with a total of around 3.68 billion words, all in the space of two years. That adds up to 504 thousand words per day.
