    The Good Eleven(th Anniversary on Fimfiction)

    At this point, it's no secret that I'm not writing any new fanfiction. Music tends to be my main focus these days, and I have a number of non-fiction blogposts in progress about certain artists and albums that I like. Those most likely won't be posted here, though, seeing as this is a site for horsewords and poni poni poni.

    Ten Years Gone

    Ten years on this site. Crazy to think it's been that long. Thanks for making it worthwhile.

    Number 9, Number 9, Number 9...

    Hey folks.

    Today is the ninth anniversary of my joining Fimfiction. I'm forever thankful for the people I've met and the stories I've read.

    Thank you all for being great.

    Two Zero Two Zero

    EFNW should be a lot of fun. I'm really looking forward to it and I'm hoping nothing catastrophic happens in the meantime.

    Really need to stop saying things like this.

FimFiction Update · 4:02am Dec 11th, 2012

So, this new FimFiction layout... it's alright. That is, there are positive things (popular stories!) and negative things (WHY U NO HAS BACKGROUND COLOR!?!?). Here is a list of things that are great additions to the site and things that should either be fixed or deleted altogether.

Positive:
+ More modern look
+ Popular stories
+ Cool new banners
+ Bug fixes
+ Smaller pictures (helps gather audience through description rather than art)
+ GIFs seem to work correctly now (that may just be me, but I had to individually open all of them in separate tabs)
+ This may not be new, but there seem to be added story editor features (Import from Google Docs!)

Negative:
- No background color, strains the eyes
- No feature box; featured stories limited to front page
- Brobdingnagian comments. Seriously, they're huge.
- Notifications are broken (i.e. blog posts)
- Quotes are displayed as their Unicode form (PLEASE FIX AAAAH)
- Front page feels very cramped, kills mobile devices
- Story editor is smaller
- Lack of old banners; banners are smaller

In short, everything is smaller except comments XD. Seriously though, kudos to knighty for this update. User input might have helped, but most of the negative complaints should be relatively simple to fix (I have done HTML and CSS programming, and things like the color and the comments are simple fixes that would make a huge difference).

As always, have some Floyd:
