    Oh god 90s throwback marketing

    crystal pepsi parody of the oregon trail to promote the crystal pepsi rerelease

    eventually they'll have throwbacks to things I actually remember and I'll feel old

    Review It Later

    Like many users on this site, I have far too many fics in my Read It Later bookshelf. Unlike most of those users, I have a plan to get through it.

    I'll write reviews of the stories I read.

    Required reading for internet arguments

    I'm talking about this post.

    tl;dr: Name-dropping logical fallacies isn't enough to make a good refutation. You have to explain why something is bad reasoning.

    Quick reference for the icon tag

    Fimfiction has another undocumented bbcode tag: [icon]. It gives you access to the various vector icons that Fimfiction uses for various purposes.

    What you do is this:

    This is a camera: [[b][/b]icon]camera[[b][/b]/icon]

    And it gives you something like this:

    This is a camera:

PSA: Fimfiction has a [code] tag. · 2:43am Jun 26th, 2015

I don't think anyone here has ever mentioned this tag, and I didn't know Fimfiction supported it until I saw someone use it.

This tag is spelled [code]. You close it with [/code]. Things in a code tag will come out in a monospaced font, where all letters are just as wide, and a space is the same width as a letter.

This lets you perform precise alignment.

This is intended for posting fragments of computer code on Fimfiction, as code uses precise indentation for ease of reading.

If you aren't into that sort of thing, it can be used to post ASCII art.



Spongebob Squarepants .--..--..--..--..--..--. .' \ (`._ (_) _ \ .' | '._) (_) | \ _.')\ .----..---. / |(_.' | / .-\-. \ | \ 0| | ( O| O) | o| | _ | .--.____.'._.-. | \ (_) | o -` .-` | | \ |`-._ _ _ _ _\ / \ | | `. |_||_| | | o | \_ \ | -. .-. |.-. \ `--..-' O | `.`-' .' _.' .' | `-.-' /-.__ ' .-' .' `-.` '.|='=.='=.='=.='=|._/_ `-'.' `-._ `. |________/\_____| `-.' .' ).| '=' '='\/ '=' | `._.` '---------------' //___\ //___\ || || LGB ||_.-. ||_.-. (_.--__) (_.--__)

Unfortunately, fimfiction's monospace font is way too tall. This means that ASCII art will look terrible (this was a mediocre piece to begin with though), and will be even more annoying to see in a thread than it would normally be. I'm saying you can do this, not that you should.

A more legitimate use of this would be to represent something computery within a fic. Like, if Twilight is hacking into the Pentagon, you would put a pile of technobabble inside a code tag.

[b]Also, bbcode tags are still processed in the middle of a code block. In my opinion, they should not be.[/b]
