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.
Swapped Roles Contest
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.

This better clarifies our previously ill-defined hate speech rule and includes groups as well as individual attacks.

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 » MLP BOX T-Shirt Contest · 8:30pm Jun 25th, 2018

Hey guys, MLP BOX are doing a competition for a t-shirt design to be included in one of their boxes, and since I know we have a mix of people here including artists, we thought it'd be a good idea to promote them so you guys can get in on it too. Below you can find more information about the contest:

Brony.com and MLP BOX have launched the first in a series of "Design a MLP T-shirt" contests over on Brony.com. The winning design, voted on by site visitors, will not only be featured on a shirt but the winning designer will also win $1000 dollars pending approval of their design by Hasbro. Second and Third Place will also receive a cash prize. All winning designs will be printed and be made available in t-shirt form for sale through the Brony website.
Featuring the winning designs, the t-shirts will soon begin to also be distributed through the MLP BOX service in the coming months. MLP BOX.com is the first My Little Pony monthly subscription box service, which delivers various MLP Merch to your doorstep each month for one low price plus shipping and handling to the USA, Canada and parts of Europe.
The first Design a Pony t-shirt contest ends on July 12th, 2018. So all submissions must be sent in through the site before then. Future contests will be theme-oriented and ask for fan art centered around particular ponies as suggested by social media.
If you'd like to submit a design, artists can upload their art here as well as read the submission guidelines, rules, etc:
http://www.brony.com/design-pony-tee-submission-page/
If you'd like to check out the nearly 100 designs already submitted for the contest, please visit here:http://www.brony.com/my-little-pony-t-shirt-design-contest/

I would if I had any artistic talent whatsoever. But you're right, this is a good place to promote this.

Presumably the admins of brony.com know to reverse search every image submitted to make super sure that art thieves aren't submitting contest entries.
