    It's a convention thing that you might have heard about on this site. I'll be around there this weekend, likely hanging around in Twilight's Writing Room in the afternoon. Feel free to say hello, or track me down and demand an update to No Plan Survives Contact.

    Finished At Last! (Sort of...)

    It's finished! Finally! All it took was...dear Celestia, ten months! Bloody Tartarus that seems like forever ago...well, regardless of how long it's taken, it's finally finished! My first ever multi-chaptered story is finally complete at almost 70k words! Time to go celebrate with Blackjack and Apple Cider. But before that, let's answer a few preemptive questions.

    Replying to Comments

    I don't really make a habit of replying to comments except in a few rare cases, and even then I usually keep said comments out of the actual story feed and use PMs instead. There are a few reasons for this.

    The Novelty of Notebooks

    Whenever I'm constructing a chapter for one of my stories, I usually write things out first by hand. Not because I have any sort of problem with a keyboard or typing things out, but one of my major flaws as a writer is how easily distracted I get. There are about a million and one things on the internet that can draw my attention at a moments notice and even as I type this blog post, I'm

Five Tags Fimfiction Desperately Needs · 4:34am Jul 26th, 2014

5) Mystery

Saying that the Season three ending of MLP is a divisive topic amongst the fandom is sort of like saying that World War One was a bit of a tiff, but despite however much we'd like to put any debate of 'mysteries' behind us, I still think this is a relevant tag for stories that doesn't really fit into any of the currently available categories.

4) Drama

The middle ground tag for stories that are neither tragedies or comedies. Considering we already have the extreme tags of Tragedy and Random, it's puzzling why we don't have this bit of middle ground.

3) Parody

It would save authors a lot of grief if they could just put a 'Parody' tag on their stories to better showcase the intent of their work rather than just having to repeatedly tell their audience not to take their story too seriously.

2) Sci-Fi

Don't look at me like that, I've seen more than a few fimfiction stories that got spaceships involved...

1) Friendship

How in the name of Celestia's blazing sun is this not an available tag? I have to assume that the people who created this site watched the series and I really hope that they know the title of the show and the message behind it, so why are we stuck with just Romance? Yeesh...

Yes! So much yes. I would dearly love to be able to search and sort by those catagories.

Another one that's needed is a separate tag to differentiate between HiE/PoE stories and humanized stories. Even with the existence of the "Humanized Ponies" group, it's hard to find a good humanized fic due to the sheer number of HiE stories.

I would also appreciate a second-person tag. I don't like second-person stories unless they're choose-your-adventure stories, and not all authors make it clear in the description that a story is second-person.

What does a "friendship" tag even mean?

Look if you want Drama go to Tumblr and on any post say you respectively disagree boom their is your drama

I can attest to the desperate need for a parody tag.

We do have a Friendship tag! We just call is Slice of Life, because Friendship is life. No not Shrek, Friendship. Friendship is magic, Friendship is life.
