    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 » Adverts and Emoticons"' · 10:52pm Jul 23rd, 2011

Decided to go a little easier on the site today, since it was a Saturday after all and I haven't played TF2 in a little while (a week) :)

Emoticons: So the first thing I've added is emoticons in blog and story comments. They won't replace any text smileys like :), they all have somewhat verbose names in fact. Just click on one to add it to your comment!

Adverts: I've been wanting to sort out my adsense account for a while, so I did that today and I've added a couple of pretty unobtrusive adverts to the bottom of the page, and the bottom of the sidebar. Hopefully they'll help me pay for the site bills....and buy chocolate.....mmmmm

Stories on hiatus: Following a suggestion, I added another option for story status, "hiatus". So stories that are incomplete but aren't ever going to be completed (or certainly not for a long time) can be marked as this.

That's about it I reckons.

And on pony servers I may add! :rainbowkiss:

Why do I feel the need to add a pony to every comment?

Speaking on story status and such, when will the final answer on... um, saucy... fics be decided? My project after The Empty Room will have a PG version and a full version, but it would be cool to be able to post both here. :rainbowhuh:

Wanderer D

That makes sense! :twilightsheepish:

Thanks!

Doesn't "hiatus" mean break though? Shouldn't never-gonna-be-finished stories be labelled "cancelled" or something?:unsuresweetie:

knighty

Mmm that's a good point. I could add that.

@Wlah

Really? That's terrible. That's like EqD vs. Equestria After Dark. If that's the way it turns out, I'll probably just take my "normal" stuff off of fimfiction and stick with ponyfictionarchive.

knighty
Site Owner

That was the idea I thought of for now. Nothing is set in stone at all. If you're THAT concerned about having clopfics on the site, and you're gonna remove your stuff just because I'm not 100% on having them on the site (a lot of you think this is a simple issue) then fine, go.

The reason I came here in the first place was because of the suggestion that you were interested in open expression: At this point in time, adult rated stories (ie clopfics, and highly violent gore fics) are not being accepted. This is most likely going to change soon though, so stay tuned. And that the issue was a technical one. Oh yeah I should have added that there really. Might be something I could quickly do tomorrow, it shouldn't be too difficult. Probably just a ton of code to change to filter out stuff... Now it's looking more and more like that's lip service. So as a writer with many, many thousands of reads, why would I be interested in a site with inferior service?

knighty
Site Owner

Yeah it's because my thoughts on the matter keep changing, because it's not as simple as that. The issue is not technical at all. The issue is legality because I live in the UK and beastiality/underage fanfics (which these would arguably fall under) are debatably illegal. So I wanted to cover my bases before I make any rash decisions. I'm sorry if you think the site is an inferior service just because I'm not accepting clopfics right now.

Also can I ask why you're posting anonymously? I mean, I'm pretty sure I know who you are but I'd like to know.

Hi Mods! This is me, traveling to the past!

I'm getting the audio of advertisements when I'm reading! I don't know why, this hasn't happened before!

The most important question is about capstone length ( https://infogram.com/write-my-business-report-1h7g6k0r3vp8o2o?live ). Generally, we prepare from 30 to 50 pages depending on the topic, its complexity, and the amount of the examined issues. But don’t panic – we’re at your service, so we’ll examine the chosen topic and prepare the project decently.
