28 weeksThe Day of the Dead Anthology22 comments · 4,706 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.

52 weeksPSA: Using AIs to Write and Publish Stories in Fimfiction698 comments · 23,934 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)

108 weeksPhishing Awareness167 comments · 15,490 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.

119 weeksAll Our Best [Royal Canterlot Library]115 comments · 18,288 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.

154 weeksReunions: A Swapped Roles Contest!57 comments · 16,462 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!

227 weeksMinor Rules and Reporting Update747 comments · 15,970 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!

I will also be there this weekend
Have fun!
Welcome to germany
So how can one recognize it is you/ how to find you?
I, too, shall be there
4907891
I'm going to be there too, please PM me if you wanted to scription of what I look like
4907894
Still if you make a puplic post about your visit there or something and I notice you there, I say hi. 
Well, asking younger girls for what they look like and to meet them at galacon sounds a bit creepy in my ears.
(Was ich meine ist, sollten wir uns per Zufall begegnen freue ich mich natürlich darüber und unterhalte mich gerne mit dir, aber es wäre komisch explizit nach einer Beschreibung deiner Person zu fragen. Also wenn du einen generellen post darüber machst wie man dich erkennt, halte ich nach dir ausschau
)
4907896
Ok. danke
Just for all people going there too, it will be HOT! 🌞 ( > 30°C) We have a heatwave in germany at the moment. Be prepared
gonna be there as well. Hope it won't be too hot
4907898
Europe must be great if your heatwaves are only 30°C.
Bad Horse started this group to help people to plan/meet up/whatever, if they wish, at conventions.
There is an entry for Galacon.
4907916
Remember that not all Europeans have air conditioning though.
Huh. Apparently Fimfiction's Block button doesn't work.
I'll say hi to you right now, cutie
Do you accept drink and chat invitations from strangers?
Hope to see you all there!
4907941
Without conditioning. Unless my thermometer is broken. It is 50°C I am literally dying of heat, while chugging down the water like crazy.
This is Lithuania btw. I don't know, and don't wanna know how hot it is in desert countries.
P.s. That's the temperature in an apartment.
Try 97 with a heat index of 105
4907891
I'll have my name badge on. I'm fairly nondistinctive otherwise unfortunately
4908069
With the amount of people at the con it will be difficult to find you then
Do you think you could post how your clothes look like or better your location during the con here at some point. I think it would be great to meet you in person for once, but finding you in a mass of people only by your small badge seems unlikely. At least if you don't gather a crowd around you of course
Edit: And there could also people who simple write your name on their badge and fake to be you if there is no option to really tell it is you.
4908091
Somehow i doubt people will fake being me :p I'll wear my fimfic tshirt at least one of the days which is pretty easy to see
Don't forget to stay hydrated, Knighty
4907916
it also depends on what you are used to in your own country. Over 30°C does not happen very often over the year, so we are not that used to it. Just talking with a friend who lives in Canada where it was over 40 not long ago makes me sweat
4907916
Well for germany it is hot, not for all of europe.
Average german summer is 20-25° and rain half of the time. Now we have 38° and no rain for two weeks
4908095
Ok so it will be a game of find
waldoknighty, first one spot him winsEdit: Well, you could have told that there is a photo of you hidden in your blogs
That makes finding you 20%
coolereasier:’(
Hab Spaß! (:
Curses.... i have summer college classes and im broke af. No cons for me this year. Send many pics so i may see!!!
Am I going to see you at Family Feud or Trixie Wants YOU! ?
4909162
No I'm just sort of ambling around
Not there, but I am back in Germany for the weekend, so I'm saying hi from afar.
4909214
Still hard to find
4909260
I'm gonna wear my fimfic shirt tomorrow. I get nervous so I dunno why I made this post in retrospect >_>
4909271
By the way have you seen the sphinx? That was cool cosplay
Don't you worry knighty, germans don't bite and galacon is a friendly place
It just would be nice to meet you in person foronce when one get the oportunity
4909162
Trixie wants you was great, wasn't it?
Was you part of the Players?
4909292
I wasn't, was a bit late to sign up sadly.
Did you hear about the short-term writing contest from the Blind Brainstorm workshop though?
Damn. I'm in Germany now as well, and I was really thinking of visiting Galacon once again (I was there in 2014).
but I kinda just... didn't. Dunno why. Probably because I stopped being as interested and as active in the community as I used to be.
Anyway, have fun guys
4909332
No, so far I only know that 'red hat brony' make a panel about writing tomorrow.
I live in Denmark and I remember watching the Galacon livestream in 2012.
Did anyone see the new Equestria Girls Special teaser at SDCC?
Wish I could see this sooner. Was also in galacon
I think I saw you at the Writing Panle on Sunday, but I'm not sure
4910521
I was at the front and had my fimfic shirt on
4910525
then it was you
I was the guy a few seets right from you. Was arguing with myself if I should say hi, but I'm just too shy sometimes
4910531
I know that feel bro. I thought I saw you glancing at me :p
4910544
oh gosh xD
I first saw a glimpse of your name on the tag and after that I tried to look closer without being to obvious
4910548
Mission failed
4910553
yeah, subtlety was never part of me xD
4910555
Well if you happen to go next year and I do too, just poke me whenever, I really don't mind. Doesn't have to be a big deal, can just say hi if you want heh
4910558
will try
