APPRECIATION POST ALERT
Okay, sit down and listen because this is historic.
On Saturday, November 9th, 2024, I nervously started my very first One Direction fanfiction ever—and yes, I went full solo Louis Tomlinson mode. The story? Unfiltered. The plan? Just a little fun obsession project. The reality? A 50-chapter, emotional, chaotic masterpiece that would take over my life.
Fast forward to Sunday, December 15th, 2024, and I finished it. That’s 36 days, 5 weeks, and 1 extra day of me obsessively writing, crying into my laptop, laughing at my own chaos, and probably questioning every life choice I’ve ever made.
Now, let’s talk how long this story’s been out in the world: as of today, December 27th, 2025, Unfiltered has been live for 1 year, 1 month, and 18 days. That’s 411 days of chaos, drama, and Louis energy being delivered into the world. And somehow… it’s still thriving. People are reading my solo Louis baby, laughing, crying, screaming, and probably wondering if I need therapy.
And the best part? This first-ever 1D fanfic, my solo Louis saga, has 22,000 reads. TWENTY-TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE. Sitting through 50 chapters of my obsessive nonsense. I cannot. Louis would probably smirk, roll his eyes, and whisper, “Bloody hell, they went full extra.” And he’d be right.
So here’s to Unfiltered: my chaotic, messy, emotional, hilarious, dramatic, totally unfiltered first 1D fanfic. The story that turned my first Louis obsession into a full-blown, widely-read saga.
To my readers: thank you for laughing, crying, screaming, and surviving this 50-chapter rollercoaster with me. You made my first solo Louis fanfic feel like a legendary event.
Unfiltered, you absolute disaster of a masterpiece, you did it. 1 year, 1 month, 18 days out in the world. 50 chapters. 22,000 reads. My first 1D fanfic. Solo Louis. ICONIC. LEGENDARY. UNFILTERED.
