    Stepping down and stepping out

    Hey guys, I just wanted to come back and say I'm stepping down as a mod on Fimfic.

    It's been a great ride. I've read a lot of fics and made a lot of friends, but I just don't have time to stick around the site anymore. I don't really want to leave you guys/everyone who keeps pming me to do mod stuff hanging, so I figured I'd make it official and step off.

    Jinglemas stuff

    Hey guys, so a lot of people have been asking me lately if they could get permission to publish the fics they wrote for last year's Secret Santa compilation. I've been really busy this Jinglemas season so I haven't had a lot of time to handle it, but the upshot of everything is that I revoked the fic, so there should be no huge issue if you want to publish the fic you wrote for your secret santa

The Peach-Pocalypse is 3/4 written!
Expect it in your inboxes posthaste!

The peachocalypse is upon us! Repent, for the end is nigh!

And when you submit it, make sure you do an announcement blog post tagged with your most popular story.

You're just going to go mad with all this power aren't you?:pinkiecrazy:

just for you obs
just for you

This fandom is hilarious!
I am so glad of being a brony: as geeky as being a Trekkie, yet much more vibrant.

Oh, Obs... what have you done?

1620237
And both started with similar cultural subversion.

1620231
And which one would that be for you? I'll make sure to favorite it XD.

I wouldn't be surprised if Golden Fluttershy Action Figure became a rival group.
I will also be expecting a story were Twilight yells, "BOW BEFORE ME LESSER VERMIN, FOR I NOW OWN PEACHES!"

I love this fandom.

Ironically, "Applejack Eats a Peach" was the story that made me start actually reading fanfics. It isn't even very good, and it wasn't even because of the story...

No, it was because one of the comments on the story was a complaint about the story not actually being about Applejack eating a peach.

Yes, that was the comment which made me start reading fanfics.

...what even is this?

I have been waiting all my life for this moment!

You're insane. Do you know what you've brought upon yourself?

God dammit, Obs.

God... dammit, Obs.

1620696

Join us, Aqua, and things will be just peachy.

Right. Twilight Peachle Eats Sparks.

1620705
Actually, I just wrote one with Princess Peachlight Sparkle.

Mark me down for two stories in the ring!:trollestia:

WHat have you done to me, Obs?! I cannot stop writing about the Peachy Overlords! I've gotten two written, I'm making a third. Your eyes cannot handle the fuzz!

I told you the Peach-Pocalypse was nigh. Now it is a storm!:pinkiecrazy:

(Why me...) :facehoof:

(I, for one, welcome our new peachy overlordth.) :twistnerd:
(...you're weird, Twist.) :unsuresweetie:

GOD DAMMIT OBS

The peachocalypse? Seriously, I'm gone for a few hours and this happens?

Wut.


.....Wut.

...........WUT.

Peaches, of all things? Welp, least it's not clop or shipping. Clop makes me feel ill. :unsuresweetie: I'll just ride the storm.

Why do you complain that metafic rules might possibly result in people writing circle-jerking stories, then immediately rush forth to encourage people to write a giant circle-jerk of metafics?

You can't blame this on metafics being allowed. You can only blame yourself.

1621072

I guess it depends on whether you consider them metafics or not. I don't, personally, seeing as Twilight-eats-peaches is a standalone pony story concept. Admittedly the effect is probably enhanced if you're in on it, but you could suggest the same for a fic based on any number of fandom memes, and yet we seem to be all right with Scootaloo-as-a-chicken and Twilicane stories. '

At least on the surface.

You might notice that my primary objections to metafics concerned stories that dealt with Fimfiction as a website and its userbase. I stand by that, and don't see it as an inconsistency to be supportive of peachfic, insofar as the stories are actually about Twilight Sparkle, the pony, eating peaches. Not Alexstrazsa, as a pony, eating peaches.

Odds on, the whole shebang will burn out in a couple days. May as well enjoy the ride while it lasts.

1621089 Sorry, I thought you were doing it as a deliberate complaint about meta-fics. Peach on.

I've done my job, I've done it well.
I ate those peaches, gave them hell
Wrote three fics in a single day
My creativity is burnt away
So now you have three more peachy times
While I wither away from all these rhymes
Enjoy the Peach-Pocalypse, and the Day They Attacked
They'll make up for the comedy the third one may lack
Read up, my friends, don't be shy
Cross my heart, and hope to fly
Stick a peach right in my eye
Let your Peachy Dreams fly!
...
So yeah.:twilightsheepish: I blame you for it all. But I friggen loved it!

I don't know which I'm more angry at: The fact that this happened or the fact that I'm thinking of joining in.

Well, at least now everyone will hopefully stop spamming the story tag feature. Though it's not like it really ever affected me, since I usually follow anyone who writes something that I liked enough to fav.

May as well have fun with it while you can. The chance may not come again.

And he had opened the fourth fruit crate, I heard the voice of the moderator say "come and peach". And I looked, and behold a peach coloured horse; and his name that sat on him was Obselescence, and peaches followed with him.

(From the book of Fruitelations)

And I usher in the age of Peach, whereupon the final battle between man and peach shall commence.

I don't suppose you could commission a new banner for the site could you? Just swap one of the letters? FIPFiction, just till this dies down? I know you don't approve of meta-ness, but still...

I accepted the challenge, and it is complete. I slaved my day away to the peaches, and rewarded you with four fics of peachy goodness. In a weird way, they go in order despite not being sequels.:derpytongue2:

I've laid down my Peachy Fics at your feet in the hopes that they have sated your thirst for the Peach!:pinkiecrazy:

I'm gonna go sleep now, been up all night and day writing.
You're welcome, you crazy Santa ModMan! Enjoy the Peachocalypse I left for you.:moustache:

Obs... what have you done?!

Look at what you made ME do!!

This madness MUST END!!

"Obs, let's do this now and never regret it."

writes Twilight Eats a Peach

"Obs, I do not regret this. I do, however, rue and lament it."

I'm going to try stick the peach joke into my story.
Obs, this is your fault.

First trixie and pine cones, then Twilight and Peaches, whats next? Rainbow dash and orranges?

Btw congrats on making a big meme with Twilight and peaches. I love it :pinkiecrazy:

Me wonders if Obs even intended for this whole Twilight and peaches thing to be a meme in the first place... :twilightoops:

Which is it Obs? Was it an accident or was it all part of your master plan?

1625061 Mod references peaches and a subFandom for peaches is born. And people thought twicane thingy was weird...
