New interlude chapter's up. I'll probably do another one geared more towards metalcore soon.

How is it people can take the time to click something, dislike and leave without ever bothering to view the actual story? Does it make them feel big just disliking without bothering to attempt to understand something? I just don't understand. I can tell when viewers have actually looked at my stuff before they like or dislike...you see, the viewer count actually increases. Maybe they should actually attempt to read it...who knows, they might like it.

Guess who has two thumbs, a diploma, and a habit of writing the stupidest stories on Earth, and just graduated from school?

This guy!

Aside from still not being able to find my keys, things are only gonna go up from here! (Hopefully).

Meanwhile, I now cringe twice as hard as before when I re-read my oldest fics... aside from "What If?".

It's been a long time coming, and to be honest, I'm still not fully satisfied. There's a lot of old fimfic backgrounds that I was never able to find, but I've finally decided to release what I have for the next version of Fimfiction Advanced.

Welp, I asked Fimfiction to delete my account in February. That was two months ago... I’m still here...

*sips coffee and drums fingers on table*

So, how was your weekend?

Since even Bad Horse says I’ve out-nerded him, I might as well explain how I did it in great, excruciating detail. Because I’ve finally published the results as fit for human/pony consumption.

Had a nice weekend away from home with my gran. Was fun. ^_^

Unfortunately that means I've missed the episode, so that's probably what I'm going to do today on top of finishing up a Ghost Squad chapter for some time this week.

Also have some updates for these userscripts because Solly's left these waiting for way too long.

Pinkie Pie, please, I told you to stop doing this. I don't want Kaidan to slap us with a C&-- Nope!

I officially despise the brony community. The tales of "love and tolerance" is a myth. If you dare speak you'll be called retarded and autistic while be attacking. Fuck the bronies.

Right now, 1,638 people and/or ponies have answered the fimfiction survey. Thanks very much! I didn't expect to hit 1000 for a long time.

So, half an hour after publishing the latest chapter of Context_SHIFT I was on the feature box.

At the time, I had received one upvote and one favourite (compared to pre-chapter numbers).

...

Go figure.

666 Notifications. 420 Unread chapters.

Yes yes, I know, now get back to writing...

- (By the way, Appleshy is not in this pic, but it is the best thing ever. Just sayin'!)

So today knighty threw up documentation for a FimFiction REST API. I've only skimmed the documentation so far, but from the looks of things I should be able to throw together a Google Apps Script which will integrate with Google Docs and allow you to post/update stories from within Docs. Could be neat!

We'll see how far this goes.

In my previous post about different ways of measuring authors' popularity and quality, I introduced the "thumbscore per view" measure (TPV), which is

TPV = (thumbs_up - 9.027 * (thumbs_down+1)) / views

This is a rating of a story or of an author, which has an average value of zero over all the stories on FimFiction.net.

This announcement has been some time coming now, but I think now I should finally be the one to speak on the matter.
I am retiring from FiMFiction.
