Site Post

I have just now heard that there's a genre of stories being published on Fimfiction.net called "LoHAV" or something. Which supposedly stands for "League of Humans Acting Villainously." Apparently these stories about humans in cosplay going to Equestria and becoming the character they're cosplaying as. Which is okay, I guess, but after reading a few of these stories I have to agree with the criticisms that these stories aren't about My Little Pony. It's been a consistent problem with the story approvers that people are publishing stories about becoming their cosplay of Optimus Prime or Darth Vader or whatever, and honestly that's just really stupid. This shouldn't be an issue, and I would've said something about it earlier if I'd been made aware of it.

If you guys want to publish stories like that, the upcoming expansion to Fimfiction to allow general stories will allow you to post those. Until that happens, though, I'm going to have to say that these stories are categorically banned, and no further stories in this genre will be allowed to be published.

Please direct any questions on this ban to the moderators. I'm very busy right now and will not be able to respond.

I hope this isn't a joke.

I hope the joke is that you're joking this is a joke.

[Meeester]

Now I never have to deal with this plague again.

[Rinnaul]

It would be obvious even if you didn't look for what the italics spell. And it still won't stop the drama in the comments.

I'm sure a simple gas mask could have helped the plague...

Wait...

Are you my mummy?

[Mountainmanmad]

Oh thank god, April fools... I lost my breath there for a second.

[Regidar]

So wait, does that mean my stories about ponies cosplaying as the characters that end up in Equestria, and then being sent onto earth, miraculously transforming into lonely virgins in lame costumes isn't allowed on the site anymore?

I know this is mentioned in the April Fools day post... but do you guys have a goal in mind for when this expansion will take place?

I'm actually way more excited for this expansion than the Season 5 premiere.

[TGM]

It's funny because they're mostly referred to as 'Displaced' now, not LoHAV.

Nice april fools tho

[Scootaloo96]

Not bad not bad at all

[Roarin Thunder]

If only this wasn't April Fools day, I could say that Knighty finally did something amazing.

[TurboTheGameGuy]

[kalash93]

April Fools prank HO!

Nice try, but you already jerked us around last year by talking about banning some things with a focus on HiE. Try harder.

[Dusty Old Qrow]

Why must you fool around like this knighty

Just ban them.

Please

[Dark Star2014]

[Ignis Nais]

While I may not like all of the stories in the LoHAV group even I have to admit there are a couple of gems in there! That being said love the hidden message! and happy 1st to you all c('.'c)

[thelaidbackguy]

2931887 I don't get it.

[Atrunia]

2931852 Yeah the cosplay ones are displaced, the LoHAV exclusive one are generally good, Resuscitatio Artium Magicarum being a good example. Of course there are some exceptions.
P.S. Read Horse Feathers, it's nice to see someone put the elements in their place.
