When doing stories set in the past... please do your research.

Not knowing what you are writing about can... cause issues.
Example:
My dad read a book set in London and he was a bit annoyed that the author had characters riding bikes... 200 years before they were invented.
Extreme example.

Feature I wish Fimfiction had

I wish fimfiction would clean up the in-progress list.
What do I mean?
Currently, if you go searching in the in-progress stories... you will find allot of dead/hiatus fics that the author never bothered to label as being dead/on hiatus.
What I wish would happen.
* Mark any story where the author hasn't logged onto the website in a year as dead.

Why harems are hard to do well

There are 3 types of harem stories.
1. Porn -> This is done for exotic scenarios. The goal is to be erotic, not deep story telling.
2. Wish fulfillment/Mary Sue -> Everyone loves my character! Everyone I fantasize about will mary him/her! And get along, even with wildly different and clashing personalities!

Examples:

I lost my glasses because of a Tornado yesterday.... · 11:41pm May 25th, 2016

My glasses flew away while I ran into an old outdoor tornado shelter (wind was strong enough to rip them from my face). Staying safe with all the local wildlife, standing in a couple inches of rising water as water pours in from cracks and holes in the old concrete.... getting to leave at 11pm when the danger passed. Fun.

Then I spent all day working in 80% humidity fixing fences that had been knocked down, that had been covered with debris and are submerged in water and mud .
