Though, I'm not crazy about some of the new default bookshelves.

Over the years, entries have disappeared as those fics have shown up on FIMFiction.net. I never thought I'd see FOE and "It's a Dangerous Business" on FIMFiction.net (I failed to convince Kkat more than two years ago and couldn't track down Jetfire), but now, only FOE:PH remains.

And it's funny, because nowadays, seeing a GDocs link on a fic submission is almost as bad as seeing DA or FFnet. It carries a lot of stigma. "Just get a Fimfic account!" I think loudly. Even in the recent contests, there's been maybe one GDocs submission that wasn't total crap. (Not counting I Am Demon, which Aquaman submitted in a GDoc because he was almost out of time for it to be published on Fimfic.)<br /><br />Also, I have insider info that suggests the bookshelves might actually be coming. :O Shh, it's a seekrit.Present Perfecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195959811544391904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-28922114164466052832014-09-22T06:48:53.599-05:002014-09-22T06:48:53.599-05:00That was before I started to read pony fan fiction...That was before I started to read pony fan fiction. I think Equestria Daily was still the major pony site when I first got involved with the show, but its prominence was in decline. I mostly read fanfics on my kindle and what I've noticed most is that FimFiction has made that a lot easier. Older stories and reviews it was a struggle a lot of the time to get a story on my kindle in readable form. Ever since FimFiction became the go-to place it's been really easy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-884628008018391522014-09-22T01:12:50.810-05:002014-09-22T01:12:50.810-05:00I remember that happening to me once or twice back...I remember that happening to me once or twice back in the day, but I can't remember when, because back then I only read stories from the archive that were recommended to me, not necessarily the new releases. It must have been an update of something I was following.<br /><br />I remember when FimFiction was first getting its start, too. Funnily enough, back then, it was actually my least favourite format as a reader, because before I had an account and could just favourite stories, I bookmarked the EqD pages of all the stories I liked, and if it was hosted on FimFiction there was a single link to the story page instead of links to every chapter, and it meant an extra page load before I could get to reading. It's weird what sticks out in the mind.<br />DannyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273313206696087395noreply@blogger.com
