    Barcast Last Call

    The time has come for Fimfiction’s premiere interview podcast to close its doors. The Barcast, a podcast that’s dedicated the last eight years to interviewing authors, artists, show staff, and community guests of the brony fandom is having its final two episodes.

    First, we’d like to personally invite every single one of you to our first event, a final blitz interview marathon. Initially popularized at Bronycon 2019, we’re interviewing as many people as we can over the course of April 20th. Who are we interviewing? YOU!

    Jinglemas 2021

    Jinglemas is the annual tradition on Fimfiction to exchange stories around the holidays with users on the site. This single event allows all Fimfiction users to come together and celebrate the reason for the season. Ponies!

    Enroll in this Secret-Santa-style gift exchange to request a holiday themed story, to be written secretly by another participant during the month of December. And in turn, you will be tasked with writing someone else's request. Then all the stories will be exchanged at Christmas! Simplicity itself! Thanks to the hard work of the Breezies, everyone will be ensured to get their gift!

    Jinglemas 2020

    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 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' on repeat, and unmanaged financial stress from our capitalist overlords?

    Gift exchanges of course!

    Groups Post - July 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.

    Haven't had as much of a response this month as past months, I'm sorry to say. Keep in mind that these are free and open to anyone, even if you've been advertised before. I just need a new PM every time you want your group to appear.

    Groups Post - January 2016

    Happy New Year, everyone. Hope the holiday season treated you well. I've got a good number of groups for you to check out, so let's get right to it.

    Groups Post - December 2015

    Alright, it's December. Now I can stop getting irrationally angry at the Santa Claus Coke cans that have already been in stores for weeks, and start getting rationally angry at how terrible everyone is at driving this time of year. Also there's a holiday coming up or something, Iunno.

    Groups Post - October 2015

    Welp, it's October, so it's finally culturally acceptable again to have a spooky skellington as your avatar picture (lookin' at you, Meeester)
    Also skulltrumpet videos as far as the eye can see, because what even is Halloween without skulltrumpet

    Now here's the somewhat embarrassing part - in a month, it looks like I've only been given three group submissions. Last month we had several times that, and interest has been pretty steady for awhile. This month, I've only got a total of three, and even going through my PM history doesn't turn up any I missed. If you did submit one, and it's not here, bug me about it ASAP and I'll get you added back on, but otherwise I'm just going to chalk this up to a slow month. Too many people getting ready for the SKELETON WAR to worry about what their groups are doing, I dunno.

The Pony Prisoner

Welcome to your home from home, Your Village.
This is the Group for all stories based around or intentionally similar to the 1960s psychological thriller “The Prisoner”, starring Patrick McGoohan, wherein people with particular knowledge disappear away to the isolated "the Village", a forced utopia of mindless following meant to convince them to spill their secrets, but more than equipped to break their minds a hundred different ways if they resist. (Stories taking a few hints from Starlight Glimmer are also allowed.)

Whatever the sinister intention behind your Village or its substitute, if your character suddenly wakes up in a new town of forced happiness and complacency or is given a number to replace their name, this is the Group for your story.
“Be seeing you.”


Earth Pony OCs Rule

This group is made for earth pony OC's, that are the mane pony, or play a big role in a multi OC story.
This group is also a call to arm's for earth pony activist/lover's.
Who see alicorns, unicorns and pegasuses as over used in the fandom, so come along my fellow ponies,
let us show them the true strength, resistance and engineering of the earth ponies,
So Telly Ho!


Candy Mare it's a club for fans of the character created by Knackerman and also a place for people to post their own stories that are to do with horror, gore and general creepyness so why not join our little candy pony family after all life is no fun without a good scare. So post your best scary stories or why not grab a blanket turn off your lights and brows our selection. Hopefully you'll find something good to sink you're teeth into or maybe something might find you good enough to sink it teeth into. Pleasant dreams i hope you don't have a Nightmare Night tonight HAHAHAHAHA!!!


Filly Fantasy VI is a sequel/spiritual successor to Pony Fantasy VI. The group is for the release and discussion of the project.


Homeschoolers of Fimfiction

This group is for homeschoolers!
In this group you can talk to other homeschoolers and read MLP stories by other homeschoolers!


Admin Training Academy

ATA is to help people become a better admin. Simply ATA makes it easier, and faster to learn how to be a good admin.


Songs From The Heart is a group dedicated to the love of music. Whether it be a story inspired by music or music you love and want to post here. It could be your own music if you want.
So what you waiting for? Come on in and stay awhile!


Happily Forever After

This group is here to put a spotlight on ageless characters and present the idea in a way that isn't sad or depressing, like a lot of stories seem to. You can show the good side of Twilight being an immortal scholar, Celestia leading Equestria forever, or Discord having fun with Fluttershy's great, great, great, great, great grandchildren. If the idea of stories with ageless character being happy interests you, join now.


Anti-Clopfic Federation

This groups focus is to stop the wave of clopfics that plagues the featured box day in and day out. Specifically geared towards those typical, easy effort clopfics that get featured for the author doing little. Some clopfics can have good content, and should be featured. Enough featured clopfics, we say.


100,000 Words

This group was created for stories with word counts beyond 100,000! Feel free to join and add fics that meet this. We're always open to new stories, and discussions can be started in the Forum about these fics and their sheer word count power!


That's it for this month. Send in your group ads if you want them to appear in May!

I had a toaster repair group, but it's currently still in the making.

This will end well.

Huh. Who knew that two out of ten spots was plaguing level.

I guess I understand what y'all are trying to do, but there is a built-in way to make sure that you don't see clopfics in your feature box. Follow me through these three easy steps:

1) Go to "settings."
2) Hover over the "View Mature" setting.
3) Switch to off.

Will this get eliminate clopfics from the feature box in general? No, and they shouldn't be removed because feature =/= quality, but popularity, and we shouldn't be telling people what they can or cannot write in this space. But, if you've got a problem with seeing the clopfics in the box, then this quick remedy will work for you!

The group was pitched to me as a place to share good, non-clop stories more than some means of political activism. I get the sense it's more a case of badly worded description than anything too terrible. If it were a group dedicated to petitioning for site policy changes or otherwise harassing people about the issue, then I wouldn't have advertised it. And if it (or any other group with a similar focus) should degenerate into a bunch of people trying to be the moral police, I'd certainly encourage you to file a report about it.

Will do, chief! I honestly doubt they mean any trouble.

Mallow discrimination is reeeeaaaaaaaal :raritydespair:

What's even worse worded is the group description on the actual group page:

Welcome to ACF, where our goal is to stop the rather pesky amount of features and followers you get by merely publishing a clopfic.
