26 weeksThe Day of the Dead Anthology22 comments · 4,649 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 · 23,889 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 · 15,433 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 · 18,267 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!

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!

What could this be...
Edit: Knighty, you are a bloody god. Have number 479 I.O.U of my soul, plus all my wins.
...
...
Second edit: Umm, slight problem. What is someone loves the floating Dash so much, they become addicted to her. They poor so much emotion into her that she starts to respond and think for herself. Then when they leave for long period of time, Dash thinks they have left her, and start doing supernatural shit that gets people killed. I smell a creepypasta to be written...
Third edit: Reading Clopfics with Dash watching is kinda awkward...
EPIC!
Awesome!!!!
Knighty you are so awesome!
Very nice
Bueno.
Oh this is awesome!
KNIGHTY I WILL SLAP YOUR ROPLCOFTER, AND WHEN I'M DONE WITH IT, I'LL PEEL MY WEEF!
Woa. Rainbow Dash sits on boxes.
Neat - I expected just random floating.
i love you more every notification
653249 Desktop ponies must always be running.
Awesome.
Excellent. Have a stache.
You with me rainbow?
Rainbow:
nice! now only if I knew how to use this tool correctly...
also, there's some blank space on the right side of the screen past the news box and the banner and stuff.
653250 This, all of my this.
653248 Including all his NSFW blogs?
653242 Muy bien!
Though Knighty, you do realize people will start demanding other ponies soon right?
This is amazing. Thank you very much for this small but highly amusing addition to the site.
Seriously, I laughed at this way more than I should have.
I win
And if you hit the Konami code... shit gets real...
653259 Of course even the NSFW posts
653267
And do it again, and again, and again, and again...
Knew about the Dashie earlier, as well as the snow... but the ccs stuff is new. (never mind I would have no clue what the hell ccs is)
653250
True....but not for Rainbow Dash at least!
653277 Eh, there's a point of depreciating returns. I think around 3 is the most you can have while keeping them sufficiently apart for a good amount of time. After that, you have issues with them merging while typing the code.
I call this Peak Rainbow.
I wondered where the snow button ran off to.
I honestly thought it was going to be R34.
THERE IS A DASHIE FLYING AROUND AND I FUCKING LOVE IT
hope favorite private setting are next, thanks as always.
also cool if you added user set headers. it's like the next thing like what you have done already other then like css color for blog and forum post and other areas, like story frames and other miscellaneous frames on the site.
Effing love it! Is there a selection of colors we can use, or should I just star typing the names of random colors?
Those options are AMAZING! It's really too bad my computer is too old to properly ran Dash and the snow when I got multiple tabs opened.
Thanks for the amazing work!
653296 Try to use #EFE9C9 as the background color. It feels a lot warmer and closer to the previous colour scheme. The new texture messes a bit with it but I'm satisfied with it for now myself. You can try this website to try out hex codes and this page to learn more about CSS colors. You can also extract the color with the sampling tool in Photoshop.
Has somebody already found a nice color-combination she/he would want to share? #000000 for both looks a little bit dark but it looks nice to try
Epicness ensues!
I already played with that interactive Rainbow Dash a few hours ago. But this background color changing thing is VERY gusta.
Now how about them emoticons, since we can't use the [img] tag to pretend we have a larger selection anymore? xD
WHAT IS THIS SORCERY??!!
TEARS OF HAPPINESS --->
<--- TEARS OF HAPPINESS
Oh My Celestia. Knighty, I Love you. I am so happy with what you have been doing with the site, and this just makes it Better!!!
653303 I'm liking a #47008F for background, and #660099 for the toolbar. I am also a fan for purple.. Either way, I like it.
Being able to customize the colors is great. I'm personally going with #DFD9C9 for the background a bit, since I grabbed that from an old screenshot. I haven't decided on the toolbar color yet, though. For now I'm using #699864, which is just a slightly different shade of green.
Wish I could choose which of the desktop background ponies was on the screen, but having Dash flying around is fun...
KNIGHTY STOP INFLICTING RESPONSIBILITY UPON ME
653302 I don't understand some of what you just said, so I am just going to nod and say yes.
...
Yes.
Checking out that page, though.
653320 You can pretty much have any colour you want with the hex codes. Right now I'm using a set of colours based on Trixie!
Background: #5EB0E5
Header: #9ECEEB
Over the Lunaverse boards I posted a thread with codes for each of the Lunaverse 6. You could easily do the same with the Mane 6 obviously, and I'm sure someone will come along with the codes for these. Hardest to copy will be Rainbow Dash off course
for Derpy/Ditzy the codes are as follow:
Background: #C2C6D5
Header: #F5F8AA
653237 Oh great. Now I'm gonna have nightmares about that.
Damn you, sir. Damn you.
The Color Settings are bugging me.....
Question: What are the color Codes?
other than that.... love the interactive pony
reminds me of the Desktop Ponies.... sad that the site died tho....
653325
Just wait till I write it. This is gonna be fun...
653328
Type the name of the colour you want.
Want Blue? Type in Blue. Want Red? Type in Red. Simple really.
653330
oh.....
thx. I really didn't know that......
thought that I needed a color code or something.....
653328
It's just the same color codes web designers use in css. A pound sign, followed by 3 two digit hexadecimal numbers, for red, green, and blue values. If you look around here, you can find the standard ones, plus a color picker at the bottom. Just make sure there is a pound sign before the numbers, like this: #DFD9C9
653334
Thank you for the info!
That page was very useful.
653333
Well, for more advance colours there is. But most of my fav ones are just basic anyway.
EEEEEEEEEEEEE so cute...
653335
No problem. As has been mentioned before, you can use Photoshop or Gimp for getting the values, too. I personally had an old screenshot of Fimfiction, so I just opened it in Gimp (since it's free
), clicked the background color with the eyedrop tool, clicked on the current color to open the color chooser, and wrote down what it said for "HTML Notification" on the screen with a # sign before it.
But yeah, if you don't already know which color you want, that page is great...
