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.
Jinglemas is the annual tradition on Fimfiction to exchange stories around the holidays with users on the site. This single event allows all Fimfiction users to come together and celebrate the reason for the season. Ponies!
Enroll in this Secret-Santa-style gift exchange to request a holiday themed story, to be written secretly by another participant during the month of December. And in turn, you will be tasked with writing someone else's request. Then all the stories will be exchanged at Christmas! Simplicity itself! Thanks to the hard work of the Breezies, everyone will be ensured to get their gift!
You only have until November 24th to Sign up!
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)

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.
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.
Jinglemas had 114 stories written and exchanged this year!

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.
"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!
Since it's been requested numerous times, I decided to work on making it possible to select multiple banners to cycle through.
Click here to go to the banner selected page, click the banners you want and click the button at the bottom to lock them in.

Ooh. Nice feature.
Yes! Give me something new to play with to distract me from approving all the
terribaddifferent stories!thanks man. have been wanting that for awhile.
This is beautiful!
Well done.
For some reason, every singe one I chose was one of Luna.
Now all we need is a Luna emoticon. [insert Luna here]
Nice.

It's in the browse menu
Slick!
Sounds terrible.
More optimization? I can only respond with a incoherent stream of yesses for this.

I like it!
Tank you Knighty
Sweet stuff, keep up the good work!
How about creating our own banners?
I'm sure this has been suggested before, but what if there was an option (like with the firefox personas) to create a banner of our own that we can implement for our own account. Like where you linked us to change our banner, at the bottom there would be a "custom" box where we had to upload a pic with the required dimensions and file size.
Looks awesome. Way to be, Knighty.
Why is there nothing with Discord or Chrysalis?
Thank you, knighty. It's awesome.
1183209
I know right?
Also, that's nice and all, but a nice addition would be Cross-thread/blog/story backlinks, seriously, get that stuff implemented yo.
1183537 I love how nobody understands sarcasm these days…
For convenience sake, should add on a Select All option.

Awesome. When are we going to be able to choose our own color for the menu bar again?
~Have a good one.
Where is the 'insert your own art' option?
Well, that sucks that>>1183547 got banned for spamming... did ya warn him?
I really mean no offence, or anything, only wondering. Go ahead and delete my comment, if you think it really unnecessary.
EDIT: I really am LOVING the art work for banners!!!!
1183743
It's only a 24 hour ban. That's his warning.
1183747Hmmm... only seems more kind to warn him on the blog he was spamming. But it's not my site, so I really haven't a right to disagree, I suppose.
Well, there it is.
*different topic*
Honestly, no joke: I'm on the site a lot, and I do love it
Keep on being awesome with the site, Knighty
That's all!
Excellent. Now I have something to distract me for a week, keeping me from finishing any new chapters!
Sweet, thanks a bunch, Knighty. Any chance of getting a banner blacklist alternative? I dig all the banners except for Super Creepy Scootaloo, and so being able to just de-select that one would be nice.
I think I just had a nerdgasm
Thanks so much, knighty! I hadn't even thought of that, but now I'm going to use the shit out of it! I go!
1183802 I don't think the anime Scootaloo is that creepy, unless you make it look more like a Jeff the Killer Scoots.
This is a great feature!
If can make a suggestion though, can you please add a "Select All" button? It would make things a bit faster when switching from one or two banners to all of them.
Is there a way to make a banner display on the front page? There's never anything there, even after I did the selection thing =/ They show up on other pages, just not there.
ps. bring back the 502 fiction banner pls and thank you <3
