Groups » Groups Post - February 2016 · 7:00pm Feb 10th, 2016
Groups Posts are a monthly group advertisement blog open to anyone who wants a signal boost. If you're interested in having your group advertised in one of these, send me a PM with the name of the group, a link to its front page, and a brief description of what the group is for. I'll copy this directly into the post, so write it like you're trying to tell other people about why they should join or pay attention to your group - anything up to around 150-ish words is fine.
Equestria Girls, where the look of friendship may change, but its magic is forever.
However isolated it may (currently) be, Equestria Girls is a piece of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic canon now, and there are quite a few people who are interested in it! If you're one of them, this group is for you! Discuss Equestria Girls, its world and its characters in the forum to your heart's content. Also, if you've written an EQG story, we'd love to have it!
Family Fictions is a group for all types of family oriented stories. If families are bonding, or fighting, or just doing whatever it is that families do, then this is the group is the place for you and your fics. All types of family relationships are welcome: Parents with their child, siblings, foster or adoptive families, chosen families (like the Cakes and Pinkie). As long as it's about some type of family, it's good. We welcome lots of discussions and will hopefully be running contests and writing events soon. Open to whoever wants to join.
SunsetDash is a group for gathering shipping fics and fans of Sunset Shimmer x Rainbow Dash pairing. If you've been looking for a place dedicated to appreciating one of the most underrated shippings of MLP, this is it. Whether you just want to read fics or discuss about our favourite ship, feel free to join us and make us grow.
A shipping group devoted to Rainbow Dash and Indigo Zap. This group is open to anyone who likes RainDigo shipping, or anyone who likes Rainbow Dash and Indigo Zap in general.
LoliRock is a group that welcomes the fans of the LoliRock TV cartoon.
Feel free to discuss whatever you want in the forum section (related to the cartoon)!
Equestria's Pet Play Society (EPPS for short) is a group dedicated to those that enjoy the act of Pet Play, non-sexual or otherwise. Although not an extremely active group, the community is very considerate and thoughtful, and the group offers a Skype chat as well! They really enjoy new pets and masters in the group, and the moderators treat everyone with respect while also upholding the rules to keep the group civilized and fun. EPPS is always happy to get new members and new stories, and they welcome every curious user with open arms!
Ever wish you had known about a print run project for a story before it was too late to participate? Are you an author who would like to let others know you would like to do a print run of a story? Are you someone who would like to receive notifications of stories that may be attempting a print run? Then this group is for you. If you are doing a print run (or know of a print run project), let us know! You can post a comment on our page or our forum with details about the project. Or, join us to see notifications of project details.
That's it for February. See you all next month!
I like the Printed Fiction Hardcopies idea. This needs a signal boost.
Eh, I created a group a long time ago to for stories that feature teachers, but I don't think it's worth promoting. Doubt many teacher stories exist anyway.
This is a great idea though, and hopefully it means more active and populated groups moving forward.
I find it weird that my group hasn't received the boost it needs.
We're still only on 55 members...
3746234 Unfortunately, it all depends on who actually looks at these blogs and has an interest in what your group is about. I can't guarantee an increase in followers, I can only guarantee an increase in the number of people aware that your group is there.
I don't have a problem with advertising groups multiple times, though, at least I won't until it becomes a problem. I'm going to insist on a new PM every month to discourage people from just saying "leave me on forever," and if it gets ridiculous then I might institute some kind of rule against back-to-back ads, but for the time being if you shoot me a fresh PM same as last time I'll add you to the list for March.
