    Endings Are Hard

    You know, when I asked for ideas for the Cloptober Challenge, I was reasonably confident I'd be done with Suck by now. As it turns out, while I'm mostly done with the ending, I find myself wondering if I'm tying the plot points, if it's going too long, etc. I'm actually thinking of splitting the ending in two and using what I have now as a Chapter 9.

    It's Cloptober!

    First off, I'm knee-deep in Ch. 7 of Suck, and should have that done in a day or two. We're reaching the, er, climax, as it were. ;)

    Cyan Pony?

    A commenter on a story I was reading brought up something rather interesting. In most fan-fiction, Rainbow Dash is described as being cyan-colored. However, this is not the case. Now, the linked pic is not being, as I'd say, polite or constructive, but the point is made. Cyan is far too strong a color for G4 Rainbow Dash.

    Fixing Black Tags in BBCode.

    OK, here's a little something for editing. Now, as you probably know, FIMFiction.net uses BBCode for submitting stories. Yes, one could use Google Drive, but I could never get it to work, so I usually use LibreOffice Writer to make a new HTML document and type up my fic there, then save the HTML file and use the source code (open the HTML doc with a

Can't exclude characters? · 8:21am Aug 11th, 2012

Okay, as you all know, the FiM folks have been shaking things up recently. Now I don't much care about the whole search to google thing, as I have a tendency to fave anything I'd want to read again. However, the browse search filters seem to have an interesting omission - the inability to specifically exclude characters. This may seem minor, but I usually make it a point to exclude OCs when browsing, if only because the signal-to-noise ratio with OCs dramatically favors noise, even against the average. I hope the ability to exclude comes back soon, if only to save me from at least some of the pages of monotonous tripe.

I agree completely I too tend to ignore OC tags and hope that the percentage of people doing so helps encourage authors to not mistag use of other background ponies. I miss the feature so much because there is only so many 'Bloodstorm Bulletface' alicorns I can stand seeing before I give up on my search!
