Today's Vault entry is a sad, sweet story of love and loss that seems to connect and speak to its readers very well... possibly because, like our last entry, it draws a great deal from the author's own life.

[Shipping][Tragedy] • 7,400 words
Lyra receives a mysterious book from an old friend, confessing a depth of feelings she never knew existed.

As usual, hit the break for an interview with Melionos himself, and links to Black and White wherever fine pony literature can be found - and don't forget to get your copy from the Vault's Downloads page as well.

I know some of you have noticed this already, so I thought I'd do a blog post to explain.

Nothing too major, basically what we've done is allocate the last 2 slots on the featured box to the old algorithm used waaay back. It's based purely on rating and updated time, so it'll show existing stories which have been updated that are well rated regardless of when they were accepted. Hopefully this should improve things!

I'd like to try and get a discussion going on the "Dark" category.

A description for it is found in the FAQ:
Dark: A story which includes "dark" themes. This can include light horror, or more graphic depictions of things like violence and rape.
EXAMPLES: Batman is a good example of a "light" Dark universe, whereas the fanfiction Cupcakes is a good example of a "dark" Dark story.


And that is basically how I view it as well.
But we all know categories are usually viewed very differently from person to person.

So, the question up for discussion is how you, users, see it and use it.

- What do you, as a reader, expect from a fic that has a "Dark" category added?

- If you're an author, what kind of stories would you categorize as "Dark"

And, as I've seen submissions that has the "Dark" tag and yet are rated "everyone"...

Do you think that makes sense, if so, how?


P.S: This is not because I want to change anything on the site.
I just think it would be an interesting topic to discuss.
