Not much to say, really; I'm Australian. I'm not an author, merely a bibliophile, a gamer and a YouTube watcher.

    Feeling Kind of Disappointed

    It's been quite some time since I've been excited to visit FimFiction, since there's rarely anything worthwhile to read these days. Pretty much all of the 'fics I've been interested in haven't been updated in weeks, and there's nothing really 'grabbing' me on the front page.

    The Blog Where I Write About Stuff That Confuses Me

    Okay, just watched To Where and Back Again, the Season 6 finale, and while it was pretty good, it does leave four big unanswered questions:
    1. How did everypony get kidnapped?

    FimFiction 4.0

    Ookay. FimFiction 4.0, the new site redesign that, for me, appeared this morning (for reference, I live in AEST, and it’s 7:27pm as of writing this sentence - the site went down at 8:30pm last night). I also know I should probably put this in a group, or forum, or whatever, if I want an admin to see this, but I don’t particularly care for such things (nor can I find them). Anyway...

    A big problem I have with "Incomplete" stories.

    Why are stories allowed to be "incomplete" if they haven't received an update in a year? Heck, sometimes I come across "incomplete" stories that haven't been updated in three years - just set that to "On Hiatus" or "Cancelled"!

A big problem I have with "Incomplete" stories. · 1:36am Feb 10th, 2017

Why are stories allowed to be "incomplete" if they haven't received an update in a year? Heck, sometimes I come across "incomplete" stories that haven't been updated in three years - just set that to "On Hiatus" or "Cancelled"!

I sometimes don't look for "Incomplete" stories because of this - I don't want to come across something potentially interesting, only to be let down by the 'most recent' chapter having been uploaded sometime in 2012 (5 years ago). This is also why I never search for "On Hiatus" or "Cancelled" - because then I will inevitably be disappointed.
Right now, "Incomplete" is on an equal level to those tags, when I feel I should be excited about "Incomplete" ('hey, I found a new story I like - and it's "Incomplete", so the author should be updating regularly! Definitely putting that in both 'Favourites' and 'Tracking'!'). As it is, I just feel like a jerk for passing by potentially interesting stories because there's plenty of clearly-dead-but-still-somehow-not-Cancelled-or-On-Hiatus stories cluttering the tag.

If some admins or whatever manage to read this (I'd be honestly surprised, considering I'm not an author and am a relatively-new user, among the thousands like me), could I humbly suggest adding a 'It's been 1 year since last update, so it's automatically changed to 'On Hiatus'; if it's been 2 years or longer, it's automatically changed to 'Cancelled'' system? To reduce clutter and improve visibility of still-updating stories, if nothing else?
