It was inevitable really wasn't it. This will likely become the main site chat from here on out so if you're on Discord, why not join?

26 weeksThe Day of the Dead Anthology22 comments · 4,651 views
The Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) is a now-famous tradition from ancient times that has been a huge part of Mexican Culture through the centuries. Like so many things in Mexico, it's influenced strongly by certain aspects of the Aztec people.
It has shaped the way those of us with that heritage look at life and death in many ways, and most importantly on the remembrance of, and honoring the deceased. We traditionally decorate little altars dedicated to the memories of those that passed away… but it's not a somber occasion.

50 weeksPSA: Using AIs to Write and Publish Stories in Fimfiction698 comments · 23,890 views
Hello everyone, this is a PSA (Public Service Announcement, for those of ESL) to put to rest consistent questions about using AI to 'write' stories and publish them here. This is not intended as a poll or a request for feedback. It is exclusively a clarification on an already-existing rule.
People ask: "Can I, oh great and powerful D, post a story or chapter that I got ChatGPT to write for me?!"
And the answer, my friend, is... No.
Absolutely not. Not in a thousand years!
Because you didn't write it.
It is not your creation. You are NOT the author. In fact, you are the opposite.
There seems to be some confusion when interpreting the following rule:
Don’t Post (Content)

106 weeksPhishing Awareness167 comments · 15,434 views
Have you ever found yourself in a situation like this?
And then you magically find yourself in a suspiciously familiar site, except that you're not logged in, and it requires you to do so?
Well. Don't log in. This is a scam, and a cheap one at that.
There've been recent attempts to obtain Fimfiction users’ personal data, like passwords and/or emails through links like the one I'm making fun of above. And a distressing amount of people don't seem to know what phishing attempts are.
If you HAVE entered a site like this and put in your data, make sure to follow these basic steps at least.

117 weeksAll Our Best [Royal Canterlot Library]115 comments · 18,268 views
As should be obvious from 15 months without a feature, life has taken the Royal Canterlot Library curators in different directions. While there’s still plenty of awesome stories being written in the My Little Pony fandom, we’re no longer actively working to spotlight them, and it’s time to officially draw the project to a close.
Thank you for all of your support, suggestions, and comments over the years. We’re grateful to have been able to share seven years of exemplary stories with you, and give more insight into the minds behind them. In the spirit of the project, please keep reading and recommending fantastic fics to friends—the community is enriched when we all share what we love.

152 weeksReunions: A Swapped Roles Contest!57 comments · 16,431 views
Okay guys here's something fun presented by Nitro Indigo.
Presented by me, I guess, but I digress.
Swapped Roles Contest
Last year, I (Nitro Indigo) noticed that there was a surprising lack of roleswap fanfics on this site. To fix that, I decided to run a roleswap contest over the summer themed around secrets. While it didn’t get many entries, it nevertheless attracted the attention of some big authors and was the origin of two of my favourite fics. Overall, I think it was a success, so I’ve decided to run another one!

225 weeksMinor Rules and Reporting Update747 comments · 15,925 views
Hope everyone is enjoying the new year.
Some small changes have been made to our rules as well as to the reporting process.
Rules
"No attacks directed at individuals or groups due to race, gender, gender identity, religion or sexual identity."
This better clarifies our previously ill-defined hate speech rule and includes groups as well as individual attacks.
"No celebration, glorification or encouragement of real life criminal activity."
This includes past, present and potential future crimes.

There's truly no time like the holidays. What's better than copious amounts of food, quality time with family and friends, hearing the sweet sound of Trans-Siberian Orchestra on repeat, and unmanagble financial stress from our capitalist overlords?
Gift exchanges of course!

On a more related note, this might actually convince me to start using Discord,
Now, we simply need for the staff to give us those new character tags we've been screaming about for the past years and everything will be fine.
But knowing this site, I doubt they'll ever add those...
4377111 Juuust you wait
I thought I turned these off >:'
So do you ship Fluttercord?
Predictably, chaos has quickly ensued.
Will you create a nsfw channel on the server since you banned it on the site?
Post ID photo in order to post porn. Seems fair.
As in site update information will be exclusively released there? Has there been any update information released in the last year or so since the last post here?
4377153
There is an IRC server, and I think he means a replacement for that.
4377153 4377157 This right here.
4377112 We've been waiting ever since the end of Friendship Games, Knighty.
How long are you going to leave us hanging? We're not like the Wondercolts or Shadowbolts. Pretty soon, we're gonna drop out, fall through the hole to Equestria, start some new lives, and leave the human world behind...
I am so confused what??
4377167
How about you'll never reach Equestria because it's a fictional world created by a woman in her 40's.
Nah.
4377112
...Dare I ask if we can get an ETA on the tag system update? I'll be patient either way, but it'd still be nice to know a general timeframe.
4377199
You don't have to speak vocally with Discord, you can type messages out. That's the way I use it, because I'm also not very comfortable with speaking out loud in such chats.
4377213 You can set a nickname per server. I think... But anyway, any name is fine
...because running strange software nobody can check for vulnerabilities or spyware from people you don't know over a network is a bad idea, no matter how many of your friends tell you it's totally safe even though they have no way of knowing that?
It's not worse than Skype, but I don't really see how Discord is any different from Skype.
I recommend Mumble, if you want to do that sort of thing.
Why isn't this a "Social Site Post" ?
Yesss
Discord is slowly taking over.
"First one website, then another, and another, ad finally the whole of Equestria! Mwahahaha! Would anyone like some tea?"
4377296
I feel like you could say this about basically any program.
4377297
This.
The post wasn't important enough to clog our damn feed with.
I have no problem to Sponsore a Mumble Server.
And yes i have something against discord because it is from google and propertary.
4377340 It's just my recommendation. It's one of those things you don't think about when you give everything the benefit of the doubt, so if people are aware of what they're signing on for here, then I'm happy.
Sounds good! I'm in!
Inevitable? I think you mean overdue. In fact, this needs its own fanart!
How do I type on this chatroom thing?
4377356 I have 2 Teamspeak server but i think in this case is Mumble better because no License Costs.
And befor you ask i have many Server and a VOIP Software don't need many ressources.
Nice, Knighty!
Now you can have people directly spam you
with irritation when you update the sitelove and affection for an awesome site.~Skeeter The Lurker
It was about time.
I knew it. I flipping knew it would happen someday.
And so it begins: Skynet will be voiced by John deLancie.
That should make for a rather unorthodox robot apocalypse, wouldn't you say?
this thread is just
there is so much what in this thread
4377126 4377197 oh my god no it's a text chatroom program that has voice functionality, not the other way around
4377153 he said "main chat", not "main news"…
4377199 then just use text, the voice chat is totally voluntary. you don't even need to listen in, you can just talk to people in the text chat
4377213 no one minds what your name is, use whatever the heck you want, but if it really matters to you, you can set a different nickname per server if you'd like
4377296 It organizes groups of people into servers, so that a single community can have multiple rooms for different topics (for example: #general, #pictures, #writing-advice, and #site-help), which helps diffuse conversation. It also has non-intrusive voice room functionality that you join and leave at will (as in, when you start a voice call, you don't ring everyone in existence), it's significantly less memory intensive, doesn't slow down your computer like crazy, and the call quality is off the charts.
if you'd like an analogy: Skype is like someone's private home, and Discord is like a clubhouse.
4377340 …Discord is run by Hammer & Chisel, Inc. They have absolutely zero affiliation to Google.
Because glorious TeamSpeak master race.
4377194 Rebuttal : In the multiverse anything is possible.
What could possibly go wrong?
Now we need a graphical display window with cartoon characters--like Microsoft Cartoon Chat from ages ago. Only with ponies.
Which would lead, naturally, to a ponified "Jerk City."
4377194
That's the most dislikes I've seen since your last story
4377970
People are just salty because they won't be able to visit their pony waifus in the afterlife
4377984
What!? All my hopes and dreams have been ruined!
img04.imgland.net/GQPaI2v.png
4377984 You don't know that, because no one knows what their personal heaven or hell will be until they actually get there. Also, the universe is a big place, and we've barely seen any of it. For all we know, these "fictional" worlds are just glimpses into actual worlds out there.

Hey, little suggestion here: could we add an art section to it? Obviously we wouldn't want anything really adult there, but some of us have illustrators and such, and some are just looking for one to help personalize a cover.
Just an idea.
I'm more of a Mumble guy
I am commenting here because no one else has for 5 years.
Why can I no longer join the server, I know I was banned for no reason whatsoever I didn’t do anything wrong.
