This story, when posted, will be number 100, and I'd like to celebrate my time on Vocal somehow, someway. I want to highlight some of my favorite Vocal creators, talk about my statistics and earnings, and discuss some of my most-read and least-read works.

I think about writing more than I write, but call myself a writer as opposed to a thinker.

How To Spot AI Poetry
I wrote an article called How To Spot AI about 4 weeks ago, and I realized that I focused only on nonfiction writing. With AI continuing to incorporate itself into everyday life and mingling suspiciously undetected in the fiction and poetry communities, I've decided to follow up with tips and tricks on how to detect AI poetry.

Glad to be enjoyed by you...and I don't think I could ever be this brave and comprehensive with my stats and wallet! I have over 300 blurbs up here, and I still feel like I have a lot to learn... Guess we both can't quit... 😀

Congrats on 100 stories what an amazing achievement! And thank you for the shout out omg 🥹 I might just cry! You have such amazing stories and I love reading what you create! 🖤
I am 11 stories shy of 200 and comparing your stats to mine, maybe it's time to find a new venue to publish on or find a new hobby. I have been more active on the reading and commenting side and it does seem to help, but I'll really have to take a closer look at this. Too bad I can't do a more in-depth comparison. Great article! A real eye opener.👍🤔
Congrats on 100! 💐 Thanks for the shoutout, and for linking to your underrated stories. Those are what I enjoy reading most, so now I have a reading list for this week.
Thank you for your article, I am here since a month and your story is motivating! Congratulations for 100th story!
Thank you for pulling back the curtain on your Vocal experience. Appreciate your body of work, and also your generosity in pointing to others' pieces. Cheers to the next 100!
Congrats on your milestone, Ashely! I felt good for you as I read though this article. Hopefully it will inspire others to be less passive with their approach to vocal. It pays off in the end.
Love the article. Didn't expect a shout-out. Thank you so much, I enjoy reading you too. <3<3<3
This is a great write up and some great shout outs. Loved the honest look in on the financial side, and I’m going to dive into some of the under appreciated works you posted. I would love to see an “unloved” challenge where we can resubmit some of our past stories we think deserve a second look.
Yay!! Congratulations 🎉🍾
