FimFetch is now social!

Well, trying to be social, anyway. :mlp-tadorkable:

We now have a facebook page for you to like!

Would you like to show your support for this archive in a non-monetary way?

:mlp-grumpyhug:

Fiction of the day posts every morning!

Never miss an interesting fic again!

Bug Fixes!

News!

So, got a few bugs ironed out of the epub generator!

Shoutout to Tulip and Barbeque for their help! :mlp-dglomp:

  • Centering within stories was broken, and is now fixed.

  • Duplicate images are now caught and combined - drastic reduction in file sizes and loading times.

  • Stray bracket in descriptor file caused problems on some readers - fixed.

  • Fixed filename extensions and mimetypes.

  • Fixed repeating blocks after centering (special case, didn't happen often)

Advanced Search Options

Finally stopped putting this off, and actually made an interface for more advanced archive queries!

Party!! :mlp-phi:

SO! What changed?

For starters, the search bar now searches by title only now. I gave up trying to make a clever AI for guessing what you actually wanted to search for. :mlp-tdepressed:

But the new interface, via a nifty dropdown box, allows to you narrow results down by fic rating, deleted status, story age, completion state, featured stories, archive found on, author name, number of likes, wordcount, story tags, character tags, and even change what order the results are given in!

Of course, I could put more, but this is the best I could figure without making too much a mess of options and toggles :mlp-tplotting:

Also! The tags and character selectors have an automagic include/exclude ability! when shown in GREEN, those selected options will be included in the search using the mode shown.

If you click on one to make it RED, then the results will do their best to make sure that nothing with that tag is shown!

(Eg, if you really don't want to see any 'Human' or 'Gore' fics)

Enjoy! :mlp-rhello:

Note:

If your browser doesn't re-download the extra css, if may look a bit weird - try clearing the browser cache

Up next? more user features, like reading lists?

Still working that one out.

Deleted Fictions

Wow, things that happen never cease to amaze me.

So, I have been tweaking the css on the site to make it more mobile-friendly, and suddenly noticed that there was a new most-popular-before-it-was-deleted story... Actually, several - all by RealityCheck.

If you're worried, he does seem to still be writing; he's moved to a different site that he likes more (ah, well. Such is life).

Also, I do still have everything as it was before he deleted it :mlp-tadorkable:

I have temporarily adjusted the default search parameters to include deleted fics in the results.. Sorry about making searching for certain fics difficult.. I'll get about to making it easier to use soon, I promise! :mlp-fecstatic:

Also, if you want to see what fics have been removed from fimfiction.net for any reason, I have a page just for that!

Enjoy!

Security!

Ok: first off, for those who have been using this site, I'm sorry for my lack of attention. There is so much wasted potential for this archive, but it still does great for mobile reading devices (I still use it that, even if I have not been able to work on it).

Long story made short, My laptop died and lost all of my fimfetch project data. Twice. During con season. All with a full-time job and a house to maintain keeping me busy.

Sometimes, I just don't want to adult anymore :mlp-ddepressed:

Anyway! Thanks to the amazing folks working on the Let's Encrypt project, I now have a browser-recognized secure certificate for HTTPS! AWESOME! :mlp-fexcited:

Hopefully I can get a replacement HD for my laptop, then make SURE to have a constant backup in place, then get back to work on making this the most comprehensive archive of all (non-hidden) fiction ever! :mlp-prainbow:

(here's hoping, anyway)

Thanks for sticking around, and stay awesome :mlp-ddealwith:
