Dear Princess Celestia,

I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. Things seem to be falling through the cracks lately. Spike thinks I should go see the doctor, but...

And here we go! Time to explore!

The group, Crack Ship's Inc, has initiated it's first prompt contest!

At Crack Ships Inc, we believe that anyone and anything can fall in love. After all, Friendship is Magic is all about making friends, and it's not a huge leap from friendship to romance.

And if anyone can become friends, then anyone can fall in love.

I decided to throw in some code yesterday to monitor how many people browse the site with the mature toggle on, and how many are logged in.

The results were:

Mature / Non Mature: 425,382 (48%) / 452,128 (52%)
Logged In / Not logged In: 409,824 (47%) / 467,686 (53%)
(those are page views)

Thought they might be interesting to some people.

But seriously though, HiE fics are banned.

NOT REALLY. IT WAS A HILARIOUS RUSE.

Usually this post wouldn't have gone up until Friday, but I've seen a lot of concern over the handoff of control of the site from knighty to Poultron, and I wanted to do my part - no matter how small - to reassure everyone that FIMFiction will still be FIMFiction, and the community-driven interview and poll posts will continue as usual throughout the transition (though FIMFic Gold™ members will gain voting rights over who gets interviewed each week).

We'll be ready with a full explanation of all the features Gold Members will

First of all, I want to clear the air right away. Yes, knighty posted this news on April Fool's Day. Yes, he made the blog post very sarcastic and humorous. All of that was just to sort of cushion the impact, if you will. Some big changes are going to be coming under my banner, and they're going to start as soon as the move is all settled and everybody is up to speed.

Greetings to all my loyal readers! I’m taking a break from my regular update schedule to share—

Yes, my schedule. Stop laughing.

Dear Fimfiction,

It is with bittersweet regret that I must speak to you today.

As of today, I, knighty, will no longer run and maintain Fimfiction.net. Instead, I relinquish full control of the site to my best friend and homosexual life partner , Poultron.

Hey folks! I hope no one missed me too much last week; I was very sick (feeling much better now, thanks for asking) and just couldn't summon up the wherewithal to put one of these together. We had a great turnout for the Favorite Genres poll, and you can check out the summary of results here and grab a copy of the raw data
