>tunafag threadAlready a bad omen.
>>41751652After that opener, the only way to go is up, right?
>>41751666Don't test me.
>>41751673how about a quiz?
>>41751652Yeah but it was nice that he made a thread.I guess the usual baker buggered off for christmas.
>>41751638>no ITT blurbsouless...it's over
>>41751833I remember when "the usual baker" was Filly.Good times.
>>41751863>"Filly's gone, man. I'll be outside."
>>41751866Fics in the vein of Black Cock Down?
>>41751652>>41751833>the usual bakerThere's one guy who bakes threads more often than the rest, but thinking that he's "the baker" is how we get to no one baking a thread. Everyone who's read enough ITTs can be a baker. I've baked several in the past when it was needed (including the last one), too, but the timing on this one worked incredibly poorly for me.In other words: you should've stopped this.
>>41751974There's still time to make an actual thread.
>>41751974
>>41752091Based Ponk.
>>41752091Hey that's gay
>>41752199But one of them has a fat cock.
>>41752204No.
Slowly...
>>41752086No. This is our punishment.
>>41752480I'm okay with things.
>>41752204
>>41752576No.
Has anyone noticed that Google Docs spell check has gone to shit lately? I'll type in a word that's clearly misspelled and it won't even do the little red underline. It also refuses to correct American spellings to British ones, even with the language settings on both the document and my Google account set to UK English.
>>41752926>correct American spellings to British ones>>>correctI'd normally say you shouldn't use Jewgle services, but you deserve each other.
>>41752934Well I've got it set to UK English, so I expect the Jew to consider that to be correct. FYI, it also doesn't change British spellings to American when it's set to US English, either.
If the TF2 comic can finally get its last issue then your favourite deadfic can update too.
>>41752999I only keep an eye on deadfics so I can complain about them ITT in the unlikely event they stop being dead.
>>41752926It gives weird grammar suggestions too, like it'll get the tenses outright wrong.
>>41752999It can't. By law Lunamom fics never finish.
>>41753266Does it count if Luna finishes inside her daughter?
>>41753284Luna would never cum inside Twilight, no.
Should we change to /gay/ or /futa/?
>>41753484I can start posting more, to compensate.
>>41753484You can if you want to, but I'm fine where I am.
>>41753494Why the fuck she so fat
>>41753146It also hates Cadænce.
>>41753528So it's the bug queen
>>41753517You fucking what?
My subconscious is a genius.
:crab: he's gone :crab:
>>41753640Detailed horsecock on the blackboard, nonny.
>>41753743It's an educational diagram, for Luna's sake. Or rather, for her students' sake.
>write one AiE story>it still gets tons of attention even though I haven't advertised it or updated it in monthsNo, AiE is most definitely the meta.
>>41753677If only the rest of you were on the same level.
>>41753834I know you, finish that story
>Twilight twilighted in the twilit twilight.Behold my genius
>>41753908purple/10
>>41753834There is no meta. There are only horsewords.
>>41753834Wholesome is the real meta.
>>41753923Isn't that gonna be completely oversaturated with Jinglemas?
>>41753935Can't be meta if you never release it, canary.
>>41753932You know what's never oversaturated? GOOD fics.
>>41751638>Fics discussedWhy do you do this? It would be better to write "ITT: Autism" and leave it at that.
>>41753834>Huh, maybe I should write some AiE >just to gather some followers, of course, to read my REAL stuffI'm worried this will start a slippery slope of putting in less effort for more "reward", and drive me to feed a bigger and bigger ego.
Gonna try writing something for the first time in a long time. Wish me luck. Or don't.
>>41754263That's how it always starts
>>41754263
>>41754263Whatcha gonna write
>>41752091>>41752204Well?
>>41754318Is this a mare who knows how to raise poultry? Of course not. Her roosters are downright obese.
>>41754280I'm just dicking around with a prompt to see if I can remember the basics of creative writing and can string together a coherent draft. It's going okay. I'm clearly rusty but it could be worse.
>>41752926They're all shit. Gdoc, Word, LibreOffice. I'm sure FOSS Anon's obscure Linux word processor also has a shit one. Google search is the only one that actually works.
>>41754261That is THE way, Anon. You shouldn't fight it. Walk the path of the AiEslop, and become popular.
>>41754275She's so lewd.
I just started reading clopfics. Holy shit, so many good...shit. why haven't I read them earlier? This fandom has so many great clopfics
I dropped The White Mare this morning. Is it shit?>>41754696I recall that Google Chrome's spellchecker has a setting that pulls corrections from Google Search.
>>41755290You can check the club's discussion of it. The answer is mostly yes, but many anons are too blind to see it.
>>41752926Google has switched to using AI, which doesn't actually know what a word is. It's why search results have become garbage too.
>>41755314Google's search results have been shit long before AI.
>>41755479>>41755314Skill issue. I was easily able to find a girl's real name, job, email, and rough location through it starting from just the few details she shared during our pony erp.
>>41755002I like that one with an older spike and cougar rarity
>>41755607That's a good one.
I think I'll read The Cadenza Prophecies next.
>>41755673>I'll readNgmi
>>41755643I like the comic based on it too.
>someone on the sinbox with only three likesDamn slow day today huh
I have a magical power. When I mention Star Trek: Birth of the Federation, somebody considered writing a crossover fic.
>>41754696I remember the old days where I'd install the Google Toolbar just for the spellcheck it added.
>>41755744I do not intend to write a crossover fic
>>41755759I don't even know what I'd do a crossover with. Warframe?
>first fic to break 200 likes is going to be the fucking borderline shitpost i wrote at midnightWhy
>>41755897Human tag.
>>41755897Adoption anon it's great that you're writing so much and all but you really need to stop attentionwhoring in the threadI'm worried all the success is going to your head
>>41755907I wanted the fucking back one to be the first...
>>41755916Take the win. My biggest fic made my other fics see an uptick in readership anyway.
>>41755907Fics about rarity eating a sandwich?
>>41755939The Archetypist?
>>41755952ain't she a spider in that
>>41755962It's one of her less predatory incarnations.
>>41756001Those allegations were unfounded and unproven.
>>41755897You could use this opportunity to learn that getting popular on fimfic is a lottery and just accept whatever numbers show. And what >>41755924 said. But putting a human tag on it indeed may have helped.
>>41756014Will my fic do better if I add a scene at the start where the human narrator draws a book from a shelf and begins reading it aloud?
>>41756014It's definitely the human tag.
>>41756011Fancy Pants didn't kill himself.
>>41756021>Epstein! In Equestria!Why do I get the feeling he'd wind up with woona?
>>41756042She's very in touch with her inner child.
I need to stop reading unfinished fics
>>41756051Which one hurt you this time?
>>41755939Vague search is working well, LLM continuing to be uselesshttps://www.fimfiction.net/story/46359/holding-onDoes Rarity eat a sandwich in this story?==================================================No, based on the given text, there is no mention of Rarity eating a sandwich. The narrative focuses on their interactions and does not include any details about food consumption.==================================================Chunk 8 0.6709168000000001 @6% in https://www.fimfiction.net/story/46359/1 "So, stop me if you've heard this one. The great and powerful jet-setting Rarity, of Manehattan's Carousel Fashions, invites a pony to a lunch date in the town where the two spent their adolescent years. Her invitee, Twilight Sparkle, experiences several emotions, the strongest of which is abject surprise. " Twilight fed Rarity a wry grin. "Not that I'm not happy to see you, but it's been years ." "I know." Rarity took a bite of the sandwich, then took a drink from a levitating water glass. "Can you blame me, though?Chunk 12 0.592015 @4% in https://www.fimfiction.net/story/46359/1 I stop them before they get the chance, though, since if they break up, I think the business goes right along with it." She chuckled and took another bite of the sandwich, the combination of bread and flowers unexpectedly sweet in her mouth. No wonder Twilight preferred it. "But they're not the reason I'm here." Twilight nodded. "Yes, let's get to that.
>>41756060All of them
>>41756021Yeah because he's not dead.
>>41756146Changeling.
>>41756166No I'm a person.
>>41756021>>41756042Celestia couldn't handle someone taking her little sister
>>41756296Taking her little sister where?
>>41756318to pound town?by a private jet to his private island, of course
>>41756322>pound townIt's called Ponyville.
>>41756388So that’s why Celestia sent Twilight there.
>>41756453I mean yeah? She wanted her to meet some bitches.
>tfw no traumatised pony gf to tell you that she feels like a dog, because you just took her to the pound, after you have passionate sex with her
>>41754696My test of a spellchecker is if it will let me write "beauracracy" and correct it.
>>41756525Bearucracy
Any fics about Hatsune Miku pony?
>>41757011>not even including a pic
>>41736322https://www.fimfiction.net/stories?q=hatsune+miku&order=relevance
>>41757011>>41757019oops
>>41757019I'm not asking about generic crossover fics with Hatsune Miku, I'm asking about fics incorporating the official ponified Miku. Seems there are none though.>>41757015Incognitoposting.
>>41757052Official?
>>41757069He's probably taking about these.
>>41757085What a cutie.
>>41757069>>41757085Indeed.
Adoptionon, what's your fic a crossover with?
>>41757144SCP Foundation.
>>41757121Yeah, they both are.I'd probably buy it over any of the M6/Princesses simply because you get two nice figurines instead of the humanized character taking more than twice the shelf space of the pony. Although as far as the heretical art of de-ponyfying ponies goes, they did a pretty good job with Celestia and Pinkie.
>>41757182I'm wondering if there's any fanart of them humanizing the princesses but like, making them so that their proportions kind of match how they would be as a human relative to other ponies. Like freakishly elongated and like weird elven angel beings rather than looking normal. I saw that sort of one time in a fic with Celestia entering EqG but that's about it.
>>41757182The H7 are all based on their EQG designs. Still waiting on them to finally reveal Candyass and Bugbutt.
>>41757190>freakishly elongatedSo their EQG designs?
>>41757182I'm happy that I got Luna and Celestia. The boxes they came in are also very nice.
>>41757200Nah like even if they were actual humans it'd be like looking at some sort of cryptid. Biblically accurate humanized alicorn or some shit.
>>41757196People would be way less upset about eqg if they looked like that. Who knew that fixing their proportions and making their skin a normal color other than Rainbow would make them no longer an eyesore?But their Celestia and Luna's designs are so much better than the eqg garbage it's not even funny.
>>41757205>it'd be like looking at some sort of cryptidSo their EQG designs?
>>41757210Buddy I'm taking legs seven feet long and multiple arms while they belt out enough solar radiation to cook the average man where he stands.
>>41757209>making their skin a normal colorThis guy got the pleb versions.
>>41757215So their EQG designs?
>>41757218Proof?
>>41757209>my purported ideological grievances with EQG would disappear if it looked like anime slopGooner mindset.
>>41757160There's a tag for that.
>>41757237I kind of wanted it to be a surprise.
>>41757209>spoilerLiterally what is wrong with making the retard who's only good at sports a nigger? I'd be much more upset with Luna getting that treatment.
>>41757182That's the best looking humanised Celestia I've ever seen. It makes her look like a fairytale princess from a magic fantasy show. I'm reminded of W.I.T.C.H. or Barbie, but it's so much better than either.
>>41757232They would not disappear, no, but it would over go a lot better back in 2013. Them looking so horrendous definitely plays a part when they're supposed to be the characters we know and love. For a lot of people, in a way it felt almost sacrilegious to take show the eqg ayys and then say that they're the M6. Humanizations were a thing this fandom did pretty regularly before eqg happened and largely killed off the concept. >if it looked like anime slopAnon they're mostly the same designs, only executed better. Other than the Princesses, which look great.
>>41757250>only executed betterAnimeslopified. Meanwhile EQG mogs literally 99% of anime in terms of outfit variety and appearance changes.
>>41757244I was joking, but Luna being (kinda) black is funny.
>>41757256That'll happen when it's meant to sell toys.
>>41757250>they're supposed to be the characters we know and loveDYEWTS?
>>41757085I got a cheap bootleg of this set and I wonder if I should hotglue the human Migu before throwing it away.
>>41757257The real pill is that Luna is white moonlight pale and Celestia tanned.
>>41757264Sell it.
>>41757263They're not the same people, but they're still using the same names and similar characterizations for them because they're supposed to be *the* Pinkie Pie, *the* Rarity, etc. That's what connects it to FiM, the reason why the series exists in the first place (to sell "human" pony dolls), and also the worst thing about eqg. A hypothetical spin-off about a set of OC ayys going about their lives and occasionally contacting Equestria would not inspire a tenth of the ire eqg did.
