Site Post » Meta Stories · 2:22am Dec 11th, 2013

Hey guys,

One of our rules that gets frequently contested is "meta" stories. Part of the problem is that it can be quite nebulous and the line can be hard to draw for how much meta content a story needs to be disallowed. Consequently, we've decided to run a quick poll to see how people feel about this issue because it really isn't for our benefit anyway. If people want meta stories then it's silly to ban them.

Site Post » Userscripts and AJAX subrequests · 1:16am Dec 8th, 2013

It's come to my attention that some people have written userscripts for the site that automatically issue additional subrequests via AJAX. Due to the potential for these scripts to create server load issues if large numbers of users use them, you are no longer allowed to advertise or mention scripts which generate AJAX requests without user action, or that generate multiple AJAX requests for a single user action. (A user action is defined as either a click or a keyboard shortcut.)

Site Post » Minor Fimfiction Skin Update · 4:33am Dec 5th, 2013

Over the past couple of days I've been working on cleaning up some of Fimfic's skin which has slowly morphed away from my original design as things got hacked on, which tends to happen a lot (look at any big site like youtube and you'll see all sorts of mismatched styles).

Dealing with you idiots is a full-time job already.

Annoyed, is more like it. What is this story you sent me. “Sweetie Belle Discovers Ice Cream”.

Site Post » [Interview] Kegisak’s “The Colour You Bleed” · 5:57pm Nov 29th, 2013

Today’s story is quite a bit longer than the last few we’ve featured, but don’t let its size scare you away.  Behind those fifteen chapters (plus an epilogue) lies a classic tale of revenge, betrayal, and growth, couched in immersive worldbuilding.
