>We got slided
>>42736186I saw it happening lol, he was trying to kill the cheese sandwich thread and I bumped it to spite the faggot. couldn't save the fimfic thread sadly
>>42736188What happened last night?
>>42736244 The usual slides, same threads being samefagged to death and the same retards spamming posts with the public proxy to shit up the board.
>>42736258That's the wrong kind of Al to get mad at.
>tfw you're not sure if something in a borderline incomprehensibly ESL fic is intentional or just them being ESL
>>42736382Is it that new Sunset one
Damned if the Sinbox hasn't been a mess
>>42736742It's not? In the 7 new slots there's only 1 HiE/eqg/anthro, 2 clopfics, and 4 normal fics seemingly ranging from fluff to horror.That would pass as good at literally any point in the site's history, and especially in 2012.
>>42736173Man, it's been years since I've seen this thread fall off early. It really goes to show how bad things are getting here. I didn't check the board until right after I could've saved it, apparently.>AI slop taking honest slopwriter's jobskekOn the Nightmare Night/Halloween front, my plan to finish the first chapter of a humanized Queen Chrysalis story fell through, so my backup plan is to release that Queen Chrysalis anthology finally, and my second backup plan involves finishing the first chapter of my Eris commission to publish just in case.
>>42736670Yeah, when it started to talk about how hairy women's chests were I was really fucking confused
>>42737168wait what
>>42737214You heard meIt also kept calling her a toddler when Sunset's like 8 in this. I don't know if this is some bizarre language barrier, but at least it's not AI.
I've figured out why I'm enjoying The Chrysalis Gambit so much. The main cast has so many gods in disguises that it's like watching the Mafia City advertisements.
Best fics for courtly intrigue, maybe with a side of romance?
>>42737627https://www.fimfiction.net/story/500819/

>>42736173Anon, there are four fics but you only listed three fic numbers. Lights Between the Trees is the one hundred thirty-seventh book. Odds are good the count will go wrong next thread and stay wrong for at least a year.>captchaHoly fuck what is this
>>42739786Looks like that one scootadopt one got taken down too.Nature is healing. The machine god is dead.
>>42740842Reported this one too.
>>42739786Do they also take down the less obvious ones? Like where the author wasn't dumb enough to just paste in the whole prompt, but it's still full of "it's not just X—it's Y" and nonsense detail that goes nowhere?
>>42740896What do you even select for the report? Bot account?
>>42740842The one with the girl scouts that save her from being a prostitute? The guy went on discord and swore up and down with his best poker face that every single word was hand-typed with no machine assistance, and it got restored. I guess when it "technically" can't be proven even when it's still fairly obviously AI, a straight face is all it takes to appeal unless it's profoundly obvious like the tranny gamer one or the dragon city one that were just a few paragraphs per chapter prompted by an actual child.
>>42740946Not that, there was one where it was Big Mac adopting her and it had weird shit like, besides the dashes, just mentioning random details like they were important that wouldn't go anywhere.But the biggest giveaway is always when the actual author comments are completely different.
>>42740896 I believe so, yes. But most of those who try that on Fimfic are thankfully either not subtle or only have access to official AI portals, so they’re easy to spot. For the report, just start by briefly explaining why you believe it’s AI. That should be simple if you’ve spent any time in /chag/ or used those models yourself. Then include a screenshot from https://gptzero.me/. They almost always score over 90%. As mentioned before, while those detectors can be easily deceived into seeing AI writing as human, if they flag long creative writing as AI, it’s basically guaranteed to be AI. That’s usually enough to get the story taken down. >>42740943Other then write AI writing.
>>42740963Oh, cool. They have an extension.
I like how the thread's only active when talking about getting rid of AI writers
>>42740478In my defence, I was still sleepy when I made the new thread.What are the chances we finish this one before Sunday and I can fix my mistake?
>>42741610Well, I don't mind posting 238 more Lunas.
>>42741610We are dead as fuck recently.
>>42741683So's the site.
>>42741685So you're saying the new captcha works?
>>42741797I ain't gotten no indians calling my stories good (IE lying to me) in months, so I'd say it's working
>>42740478Cucker pretty much already solved that captcha.Mark my words that hiroshimoot might force email only posting site-wide in the future and that naturally people with 4ch mold will be able to post w/o a email.
>>42742344Moona
>>42742349Yep
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/528958/my-little-pokmon-grander-worldDidn’t realize this finished a few months ago. The whole series combined is eight and a half million words. God damn. There’s a good chance that that figure is never topped and that it is for the rest of all of time the longest my little pony fanfic series.
>>42742651it is impossible for a human to type so much in such short time. This is hubris and insanity. How are they doing this? I can barely push 2500 words in a month.
>>42742684It’s a easier when you are autistic and don’t care about quality
>>42742684Isn't it them copy and pasting whole wikipedia sections? It's cheating.
>>42742736Your thinking of loud house revamped. Which got removed from fanfiction.net along with the sequel. I don’t recall what the reason was, if one was ever made public.
>>42742752Huh. Guess the damn thing really is just pure autism.
>>42742651The 2nd and 3rd longest single fics both have a shot at surpassing it in time and are both still active. Theoretically, Norsewords as Skirts envisioned it may also be longer, but that will never be finished.
I see plenty of fics with autistic as balls Moondancer, but anything with autistic as balls Twilight?
So with loud house out of the running, what's the longest fanfic in existence now?
>>42742862https://www.fimfiction.net/story/300693/shearsVery unpleasant fic—I wouldn't recommend it. It's 40k words of Twilight trying to do stuff and failing due to the myriad mental illnesses the author has inflicted on her.
>no mention of Travis, who likes cryptocurrency and wants to fuck Rarity, in the OPFimficcers hate OC confirmed
>>42743340Iirc there’s some Mario fic that is like 16 million words long.
>>42743424What is the fimfic equivalent of this
>>42743456https://foalfetch.net/story/513101
>>42742862I like writing an autistic Twilight Sparkle, but it's all very short stuff. Oh, and she's pregnant, that's also important. I should write a full-length story with her sometime. You know, she's a secondary character in my newest story, so I'll look into making her extra autistic, now that I think about it. I was going to do that anyway, but it's good to have it in mind.
>>42743424I was sure that one was a shoe-in too.
>>42742862https://www.fimfiction.net/story/459048/natural-ones
I just had some guy today telling me I could use the blockchain to grow my business and it reminded me of Travis (who likes cryptocurrency and wants to fuck Rarity).
>>42742862What about autistic Twilight with balls?
>>42743877If I wanted your garbage I would have gone to your dump.
>>42743905I'm about to dump these balls in your mouth.
How's that writing going, guys?
>>42744525Almost done with it.
>>42743600Why do you allow autistic people to reproduce in your fantasy utopia.
>>42745132What's the point of an autistic gf if you can't make her your autistic wife?
>>42745132Fun fact: there’s a word in this sentence that, if you replace with a certain magic word, you’ll get banned!
>>42745892sci-fi utopia?
>>42745132Autistic mares deserve love too Anon.
>>42745132How can it be my utopia if I wouldn't be allowed to reproduce, silly?
>>42745132Do you not want to have kids, anon?
>>42746017In a perfect world, men like us would not exist.But this is not a perfect world.
>>42746024No, and for the good of society I will not.
>>42736173Requesting good horror fics for tomorrow, preferably personal favorites and underrated stories because I'd already read The Stars Had Gone Away, Circles, Pipes, etc. several times over.

>>42746409I got the bad parent kind of autism.
>>42746512Don't worry, you'll do better than Applejack
>>42746317>good horror ficsA cannot think of a single one.
>>42745892
>>42746667Applejack molesting the Twilight clone is funny but realistically she'd be one of those godawful parents that can't deal with it and thinks vaccines caused it, then watched that Zachary Levi autism boy movie and thinks it was good while alternating between being endlessly frustrated that her kid isn't normal like the rest of the family and pretending like she's saintly for putting up with the bare minimum while making that her entire personality.
>>42747073She knew what she signed up for when she decided to have a child with Dash
>>42746024Not in this world.
>>42747073You okay anon
>>42748830Tuna seems like a ship that could be explored through horror.Are there any Tuna horror fics?
I find it polarizing how popular HiE/AiE is in this board and how popular it is with greens, but not actual fics apparently. Why?
>>42748881Because it's slop.
That was weird.
>>42748878>>42746444 posted one, Tilt.It's definitely one of the Tunafics of all time.
>>42748881Because greens are when you're just shit at writing. Just turn it into a normal fic. Just turn anon into an actual character. Is it really so hard?
I feel like Travis, who likes cryptocurrency and wants to fuck Rarity, becomes less effective as a character if he's just Blockchain, the local unicorn that wants to fuck Rarity.
It's spooky time!The real horror is having a job instead of trick or treating. I'm about to find out if my cover art's ready after ten months of waiting, how about you?
>>42748881It's so lazy. It's the lowest hanging fruit.
>>42749882Just applied to a part-time job that will hopefully still leave me with enough time and energy for pony.
>>42749882Has to spend ages doing work shit but I can finally write again. Sometimes I wish time wasn't real.
