26 weeksThe Day of the Dead Anthology22 comments · 4,653 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 · 15,435 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.

118 weeksAll Our Best [Royal Canterlot Library]115 comments · 18,270 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!

Bout time.
Damn straight.
Thank you.
awwwww. okay, i am a bit sad right now.
i started one
but okay, i don't mind, carry on Kighty
Seriously? We're still going on this joke?
Give it a rest.
THE WALKING DEAD: FiMFic edition.
Wait, I thought April 1st was yesterday?
Meh
973485 It is called beating a dead horse.
What about 2nd person where 'you' are portrayed as a human? Or anthrop for that matter.
Whatever.
Wait, seriously? Its April 2nd now >.>
Of course,this also eliminates most crossovers as well.
I do hope you're just beating a dead pony.
973485
You're a Brit. You know how to use your time-traveling powers.
So does he.
So the admins basically upset a huge hunk of the user base, treat it as a joke, and more or less more or less act like drunken teenagers at a frat party at the uproar.
Bye.
Is fimfiction powered by google like EqD?
I knew it.

973504
Byeeee don't let the door hit ya on the way out!
973504 Lol That made me laugh, though I am pretty sure knighty is sober and not at a frat party.
As I question why I even bother Caring.. Because continuing to screw with us is totally going to encourage us all to quit bitching and stay..
Edit: (Inb4 I get told 'bye'... I'm not meaning I want to leave in any way. Just being tired and bitchy.) Carry on.
973503
Oh. True.
973506
No, I think it's powered by A/C.
hm, have we passed the point where it's no longer 1st april anywhere in the world anymore?
edit: soooo, i don't get to keep my gold account then?

GMT - 12:25
Yes, yes we have.
973514
Pretty sure...
You sure got me
static4.fjcdn.com/thumbnails/comments/with+quot+women+quot+_bb6ef20c200d2be05adab94d7c39ea4c.jpg
I knew it.
It was funny to see all the people leaving aggressive comments about the no more HiE fics and not realizing April Fools day.
1-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/a/image/1336/04/1336042032066.jpg
It's sad that people fell for one of the most uninspired attempts at trolling that i've seen since a few random shitposters posting "umad" on various forums.
wait so the ban was not real?
973513
Goo to know.
973517
Srsly, one-man band, srsly.
Disappointed... I was looking foward to the down fall of the monstrous and over done HiE fics.
973508 Knighty since you're a god again you might as well use your power to make mature story cover art possible. I'll even offer my left nut as an offering. I don't need it anyway..
Sorry, I'm on a slowpoke mode, whats is this all about...?
Damm you Knighty, for a second I really thought you were serious.
That was a good ruse.
oh knighty!
973520>>973518
okay, so it was a regular joke, not an april fools one
You Sir, are not a gentleman.
Seems to be, I was more amused by the people taken in by it. When it wasn't making me a sad sad pony.
Seriously what was the date? (Random Out of Nowhere Change) + 1st(April) = Prank!
Fairly simple maths.
As an aside did you know that performing an April Fools joke or continuing one after Noon passes is considered bad luck in some places?
Knighty, will you have my babies? <3
973536
He's a gentletroll.
The reaction from most people was fantastic to say least...
Good job Knighty
My hat is tipped to you, sir
Welp, not gonna lie. Had me worried for a second or two.
Until Poultron said no Human fics. Then I knew it was fake.
I can't believe some people (more like retards in all honesty) believe and still believe HiE's are banned. Nobody in their right mind would talk about anything that would be considered an important announcement on April fucking fools day. *One-thousand facepalms*
So you still think pissing off your entire userbase and then getting your other staff to troll them and in one instance call a person "an immature 12-year-old faggot" is funny? There's April Fools jokes and then there's just being a douchebag. You should have stopped this before it got out of hand. It would probably be a lot more tactful to issue some sort of apology for this whole mess instead of rubbing your giggles in our face.
/rant
If you continue to keep this nonsense up and poke fun at us, then I'm probably going to pack up and take my fics elsewhere, which is a shame because this is the only fanficition website whose community (and GUI) I really like.
EDIT: Stop replying. I'm not going to answer.
973508
Totally writing a fic about you for this...
Although it was amusing watching everyone panic
973542
Precisely.
I'd still slap him with a banana for having to listen to all the whining though.
I'm surprised so many people fell for it.
I also hope my comment doesn't get filled with knighty.
