It's been two years
It’s been two whole years since I started Papyrus Rampant! Thank you to all my 800+ loyal subscribers, thank you to all my readers, and thank you to all my commenters - from those of you who’ve been here since 2022 to those who joined this last week. I keep saying it in every one of these anniversary posts, but it’s still true: you're the ones who keep me coming back to spell out and develop my ideas into full posts week after week.
And there’ll be more. I’ve got drafts ready for the next couple weeks, and ideas beyond that.
Like I did in last year’s anniversary post, I thought I’d call out some of my favorite posts. Please chime in and comment on what posts are your favorites!
