    The Day of the Dead Anthology

    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.

    PSA: Using AIs to Write and Publish Stories in Fimfiction

    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)

    Phishing Awareness

    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.

    All Our Best [Royal Canterlot Library]

    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.

    Reunions: A Swapped Roles Contest!

    Okay guys here's something fun presented by Nitro Indigo.

    Presented by me, I guess, but I digress.

    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!

    Minor Rules and Reporting Update

    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.

    Jinglemas 2019

    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!

Site Post » Groups Post - August 2014 · 8:29pm Aug 10th, 2014

August already? Where has the time gone?

Here are all of the submissions I've received since last month's post. Check some of these groups out next time you're looking for something new to do.

If you've got a group you want advertised next month, send me a private message with a link to your group and a brief description of what it does and why people should take a look at it.


Fimfiction's Madhouse

"What fun is there in making sense?"
Regardless of how much there is, there's so much more fun to be had in making anything but sense. To anyone and everyone who agrees with that sentiment, fell frea 2 joyn da grupe wif le abuve tit-le.

A most splendid group it is, as well, complete with padded walls, straightjackets, and complimentary white make-up and green hair dye for all who join the gathering of insanity.

But what's a group without the story collection it boasts? Fimfiction's Madhouse hosts a wide variety of fics that will make your brain attempt seppuku are fun for the whole family! Anyone can add stories, but only ones which disregard sanity, sense, and/or canonical portrayals of characters are allowed to be added.

What's that? Will there be contests? It all depends on whether the penguin-snake hybrid can balance a stick of butter on its nose while wearing a cheerleader outfit and holding seventeen cups of sangria as it eats a baseball.

Come on down and have fun! And don't worry, Nurse Ratched is hog-tied and being watched over by Pinkamena. Now if you'll excuse me, the cupcakes are ready.


If you have a story with potential, but only a few likes or views, The Hot Muffins can give you another opportunity to share your work.

Everyone is free to submit their stories anytime, and as soon as they pass by a simple review process, they will be added to the group folders, and maybe, featured in our periodic Featured Muffins blog post. This way, every week you can find new authors and fics.

Our group already have over 400 members, and we're always looking for more contributors. Come and share your stories with us!


Zero Punctuation Reviews

Have you ever looked at a comment on your magnum opus and thought, "Boy, this comment would sure be better if it accentuated the negative, contained gratuitous analogies and left me emotionally crippled..." Well, you're in luck, you masochist! Submit your story to Zero Punctuation Reviews and prepare for a gut-wrenching critique that tears your beloved story's guts out and berates them right before your very eyes!

Keeping in the spirit of ripping of other people’s work, we've formed a group dedicated to separating the art from the shite, all after the style of a certain foul mouthed Australian reviewer.

So if you’d like your story to be brutally dissected by our team of world class critics, or if you yourself would like to join in on the messy butchering sessions, then come on over to our page at Zero Punctuation Reviews.
It’s a regular family, only you get more snide sarcasm and all the brony tears that you can drink.


The AppleDash group is organizing its third contest - all around the theme of Competiton!

Many detractors of AppleDash say that they can't work because 'they compete too much'. This contest is based around the idea of subverting that - show how competition can bring them together, or bring out the best in both of them!

Details are found in the thread: http://www.fimfiction.net/group/956/appledash/thread/122895/appledash-contest-3-competition


The Flutterdash group is exactly what it says on the tin, we're a community built around and dedicated to stories exploring a relationship between Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.

At present, we're having our second ever writing contest. So if you're a creative type looking for a little extra inspiration and you're partial to exploring romance, then we'd love to see what you can do.

More detailed information on the contest can be found here.

We hope to see you around.


The Baker's Group is a group for sharing baking recipes and chatting about whatever. It was inspired by a suggestion of a certain admin of the Writer's Group. Baker's of levels are welcome and the sharing of tasty creations and their recipes are strongly encouraged. But please try to point out any allergies in said recipies for allergy sufferers, because the last thing anyone wants is to be the reason someone had to go to the hospital.

The Baker's Group is not just for baking tips. It is also a place to chat about anything, from reminiscing about early school days to fangirling over anime to debating about pony headcanons. Whether you like baking or not, come on down and check out the Baker's Group!


Badass Twilight = Total Domination is a group dedicated to anything and everything badass about Twilight. ( Who would have guessed >.>)

This group is active year round and hosts multiple contests year round. Some of our contests we will actually make a joint effort and work with other groups unassociated with us, but typically the contests are limited to groups owned by one of the admins.

Speaking of admins the group has recently purged itself of all useless admins opening up a wide assortment of jobs. The positions offered for admins are anything from sorting stories to finding artwork for group. If you are interested in working with us then go to this Thread and follow the directions.


That's it for August. Don't forget to send in your submissions for September!

[More obligatory whining about group notifications]

2359107 Curse you knighty, fix ur crap site, etc etc

And now I have sent my utter shit story to be reviewed by the Zero Punctuation Review group.

So, I have a question. Is anyone allowed to promote a group?

I mean, does someone have to be a part if the group to have it sent into this? I'm not planning on promoting a group I'm not a part of, but this still relates to my question.

Also, does it have to be the administrator/founder of the group promoting it? I would like to promote a group I'm a part of, but I'm only a contributor for it, and I'm not sure if that's allowed.

2359453 you should probably check with the admin of the group first, and make sure they're okay with it being promoted. Plus, somebody has to write the ad up.

Yeah, until we get back group notifications. A majority of social communities known as 'groups' are pretty much ghost towns now. So I see no point in advertising the Equestrian Saiyans group right now.

Thanks for the offer though.
