So over the last week, since I put up those two videos on writing, not only have 7000 people subscribed to me (SEVEN THOUSAND?!) but I've had hundreds of thousands of views and... a chronic fear. A chronic fear that these thousands of people who subbed to me will be disappointed or even angry when they find out I don't just do writing videos. 

The thing is, I've always wanted to be a youtuber that talks about writing. I mean, writing is my #1 passion. So this has afforded me an insane opportunity. But at the same time, deciding which direction to take my channel in is really hard. 

On the one hand, I want to do more videos like those two (and I will). They took a ton of effort, reading, and brought a whole new dimension to my channel. Should I focus more on writing/storytelling? As in, at least a couple of videos per month? Or should I stay more loyal to my How to Train Your Dragon viewers, who kicked off my channel in the first place? Or my Avatar viewers? A show I essentially have a monopoly on. Or my Lord of the Rings viewers? Or Elder Scrolls? Elder Scrolls is something I need to establish myself in for longevity. 

These decisions can be hard to get right, but thank you for sticking by me <3 My heart tells me to keep doing more writing videos, so I shall.

Congrats on getting so many subscribers! Really, no matter what you do your channel will be incredible and I know that myself and many others will watch any video you make. But to be completely honest, my friends and I were so excited when I found your channel because of the quality and outlook of all your HTTYD videos. I remember when your channel existed of really only HTTYD videos, and I rewatched each one and was so excited to have finally found a channel that was about HTTYD and made videos so wonderfully. Personally, I am still super obsessed with HTTYD and my friends and I still text each other stuff like "hey did you see that video Hello Future Me did on speed stingers?" whenever you make a dragons related video. I am also not that much of a writer, I find your videos on the topic interesting but I don't think they would ever be that useful to me. (Sorry I know I'm rambling on but I'm almost done😂) I am still a Subfury at heart and would love it if you still made a few HTTYD videos here and there. Do what you feel like doing and whatever makes you happy, and we will all love it, but please don't forget about the videos the Subfuries came for and loved in the beginning. :)

I really like those two videos, but I also like your HTTYD-vids... I think a mix of things you like and want to do is the best way!

Hello Future Me

This was a really sweet story to read. Rambling is always okay! I will keep making HTTYD videos of course. I love the series, and I'm the only person making them, as far as I know, out there. I wouldn't want to leave that or this community behind. I wouldn't forget the subfuries there from the start :)
