Addendum: After much thought, and consultation with fans, I have submitted to taking the lyrics that precipitated this message down after finding a workaround that somewhat addressed my concerns. However, I am leaving this blog up as it still encapsulates my feelings on this matter, and addresses what I believe is something we fanfiction writers should address. In addition I still encourage people to write the moderators and ask that they consider modifying the rules in a manner that will help

Here's a Youtube Video for those of you who are too lazy to read it:
Spoiler Alert: I'm going to be talking about episode 22 of season 5 of MLP:FIM, and speculating about the finale. If you are not caught up to the 22nd episode, then catch up before reading this. If you are caught up, read on. Or don't. I don't control you. You have free will. Hopefully.
I am on FIMFiction.net for 10 years now. The anniversary was actually on Wednesday, July 19th, but the release of "The Sky is Gone: Acceptance" on my Patreon account made me stay up long the day before and I had to catch up on sleep, so I could not write this blog entry there. But I want to write about what happened during these 10 years.
Here is a retrospective of 10 Years on FIMFiction.net:

Ladies and Gentlemen, darf is back from his very short hiatus and has done three things on the site that speak for themselves.
So, I just had to go through all of my fics to see if they still look alright, since knighty has now implemented a way to change the layout of a fic between indented and double-spaced and it was switched to double-spaced for me by default.
I won’t write a blog entry now to say what I think of those new design choices (Hint: They suck.), I lack the energy, but I just wanted to write this in case anything looks off in one of my fics.
1. my girlfriend who may or may not be parasprite is super snuggly and I love her so much oh my goodness yes she is my girlfriend and yes I am so happy with her oh my goodness gracious me yes yes yes
2. Brasta_Septim is the best friend you will ever have and I'm super happy that he's here too
Yesterday, knighty wrote a site blog post about changes to FIMFiction.net. He implemented new features on the site in the last few weeks and summed them up in a changelog:

One of those changes to FIMFiction.net is sticking out and heavily discussed in the community right now. You sure heard of it already, but for the sake of completion, I mention it here anyway:

There’s only so much that can go into a story, especially one with as many characters as 16 has. So I’m opening the floor to asking these characters questions. Post your reply with any questions you have and Sweetie Swirl will be happy to answer them (I’ll be editing this blog to add those questions).
The Dark Season is over. It lasts always longer in my mind, sometimes a few days, sometimes a few weeks, but now it's over. The Fluttering Scare is gone, at least until next year, and Fluttercheer is back. The curse gift has been taken. And in place of The Dark Season steps the Hearth's Warming Season, the Season of Light. It begins exactly today and with it, there comes.....

I am finished with archiving everything from MythrilMoth. I went over five different web presences and archived content by him in the WaybackMachine. It was an insane amount of work and I'm just tired now, in total, it took 47 hours and 12 minutes to archive it all. But it was necessary, because Zef implied a possibility that his accounts could get deleted, either by his wish or by demand from his family.
So, let’s talk about some more stuff that got added here with the last update: The emojis one can use now.
I need to address this..... “feature”, because it will bring a little change with how I handle comments that get written under my fics/blog entries and on my userpage. To make this as short as possible:
Please don’t use any emojis when you leave a comment anywhere on my account.
My broken wrist is almost healed, but I just broke another rib by coughing. I'm OCD with allergies, constant cough and clearing throat. Popcorn shell in throat led to coughing fit, rib break.

I'd pay a lot for a tool to search and replace all "Anon" on Fimfiction with any name. Thousands of awful stories would suddenly be readable!
A writeoff story came out last night and has already hit the featured story box, Present Perfect released a story with a title based on a thirty year old joke, and curiosity drove me to read a story with a terrible pun for a title in the featured story box.
Another day in the life of the front page of FIMFiction.
