Welp, it's October, so it's finally culturally acceptable again to have a spooky skellington as your avatar picture (lookin' at you, Meeester)
Also skulltrumpet videos as far as the eye can see, because what even is Halloween without skulltrumpet
Now here's the somewhat embarrassing part - in a month, it looks like I've only been given three group submissions. Last month we had several times that, and interest has been pretty steady for awhile. This month, I've only got a total of three, and even going through my PM history doesn't turn up any I missed. If you did submit one, and it's not here, bug me about it ASAP and I'll get you added back on, but otherwise I'm just going to chalk this up to a slow month. Too many people getting ready for the SKELETON WAR to worry about what their groups are doing, I dunno.
Request Criticism is a group where you can go and get help with your fanfics. While 'Looking for Editors' and couple other groups exercise in making your story look good, Request Criticism exercises in your story building. What does this mean? Fimfiction lacks a lot of fanfics with good quality. Many writers also want to get better, but they don't know what they're doing wrong. This group is here to help you.
By joining Request Criticism, you'll learn the does and don'ts, the good and the bad, and proper spelling and grammar. (That's actually another group) We'll also occasionally review fanfics. When we get a certain number of request, we'll give some reviews to a couple of decent stories monthly/weekly. This group is here to make sure you don't fail, and we'll do our best to make sure we know what we're saying before posting.
Every fanfic, good or bad, has at least one thing that makes it unique. We're here to show you that.
This group is dedicated to bringing your ideas to life. Here you can find people willing to bring your fanfiction ideas to reality. Don't need an idea brought to life? Are you a writer? Then come along and be a part of the team that helps the others with their ideas. All are welcome so come on by today. I'll see you there.
It's about time that we take our revenge. Let the dark side flow through you. Harm everyone who has harmed you. Join the First Order if you are feeling the need to harm.... You are one of three classes.
Stormtrooper- One of the normal soldiers
Admiral- An admin
Sith Lord- Only two at a time. Margopolo and Ramses are the only Sith currently.
We will get our revenge here on FIM. And we will build an Empire!
The night of fear,
the night of darkness,
the night your nightmares come true,
there is no hiding,
there is no escape,
nightmare night will come,
it will bring your fears,
all of them,
so you better be ready for nightmare night
Well, how about that, two groups exclusively about writing and a topical holiday group. Not a bad list, despite the short length. But seriously, don't hesitate to send in groups to be advertised for November! It's free exposure, so you might as well take advantage of it. Even if you've advertised in these before, I don't mind doing repeats as long as I get a new PM each time.
If you want to submit for November, send me a PM with the following:
-A link to the group's front page, or FAQ, or rules, or whatever you want people to navigate to
(I appreciate the thought people put into making clickable links for me, but since I need the actual URL to recreate it for the blog it's actually less work for both of us if you just paste it in the message text raw)
-A brief, 150-ish word description of what the group's for and why people should join. Keep in mind that this is going to be copied and pasted directly into the blog as written, so try to avoid saying things like "it's a group I created," because then it's going to sound like I, Eldorado, created it.
I'll accept just about anything, as long as there's not a legal issue that I'm wary of. I also don't accept groups about specific stories or people, but if it's a big universe type setting with multiple authors currently working on stories, then it's usually okay.
That's all there is for this month, so I'll see you (and hopefully a few more groups) in November!
I love that he's changed his avatar
I'm the SkelePone. It's always acceptable for me to have a skeleton as my profile picture.
3437481 Do you know why he changed it?
If you don't, I'll tell you.
3437508 Rough idea, but please explain so I fully understand
I love a bit of Skelly bounce.

3437513 He changed it because it's October.
It would be a little too on the nose for the occasion.
I love how everyone's talking about that little skeleton joke with Meeester.

Guess it's time to try and write something Halloween-y themed. As you can see, I'm all ghosted up for the occasion.
I'm always a skeleton but only at this time of year am I 'spooky'.
