is it bad that i can only masturbate to ponys now ?

Fallout Equestria, a story that bleeds two franchises together to build something magical. On one side, you have death, destruction, decay, and misery - on the other, you have ponies. Doesn't sound like it should mix? You'd be surprised. When the world around you is wasteland, all you're left with is hope, and as we all know, ponies can do spectacular things with just a little hope.
The last thread: >>35525781

Read Fallout Equestria by Kkat to appreciate the setting that many writers have then lent upon after being so captivated by the wonders.

The original story which spawned its own fandom can be found here: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/119190/

These next four stories comprise the rest of what is considered "the big five", alongside the original. They were biggest hitters early in the fandom, be it for having started before many others, their length, or overall quality.

Though, a reminder; just because these are the most well known, that isn't to say that there aren't other stories out there! There are many hidden gems that simply don't get the love they deserve purely because people don't give them the chance. Why not open your heart and try to find a new favorite? Anons are absolutely welcomed and encouraged to return with fic discussion of even the most obscure fics!

Topic: Mercenaries have been spotted on the horizon and it appears that they are coming to your settlement, how do you respond?

TwAIlight welcomes you to the Pony Voice Preservation Project!
https://clyp.it/tm03e5en

This project is the first part of the "Pony Preservation Project" dealing with the voice.
It's dedicated to saving our beloved pony's voices by creating a neural network based Text To Speech for our favorite ponies.
Videos such as https://youtu.be/GuJKTodX1FA. or https://youtu.be/DWK_iYBl8cA have proven that we now have the technology to generate convincing voices using machine learning algorithms "trained" on nothing but clean audio clips.
With roughly 10 seasons (9 seasons and 5 movies) worth of voice lines available, we have more than enough material to apply this tech for our deviant needs.

Any anon is free to join, and many are already contributing. Just read the guide to learn how you can help bring on the wAIfu revolution. Whatever your technical level, you can help.

The moderation staff is refusing to make an official announcement for the change of the rules to not cause panic in the fandom.
Dilateus and Co have managed to get enough orders to equate to an estimated $600 for their dog tags over the course of several hours. >>35626970

ITT, let's discuss the future of art preservation and boorus.

The long version:
After recent events, doubts have arose about the continuance of Derpibooru as the premiere image archival site for the fandom. Derpibooru recently went through a period of banning content they didn't agree with. This was brought on by accusations by journalists and twitter posters. Only after thousands of posts against the new policy and dozens of popular artists threatening to boycott the site were the changes reverted. While the offending policies have been removed, it is important for there to be competition in order to both ensure that Derpi is kept in check and that alternatives are available into the future.

TLDR:
There's other options.
-Right now Rainbooru is a good alternative to Derpi. (www.rainbooru.org)
-TwiBooru (from Twifag), based on Booru-on-Rails (twibooru.org)
-ZizzyDizzyMC is working on ponybooru based on Philomena. (www.ponybooru.org)
-Another Philomena based booru. (ponerpics.org)

Specialized Boorus:
- booru.foalcon.com (foalcon)
- www.fluffybooru.com (fluffy ponies)
- lyrabooru.org (plushophilia)
- www.bronibooru.com (SFW, no shipping, no non-pony anthro, no translations)

Latest Developments:
-Improvements to Rainbooru, too many to list ^:) (www.rainbooru.org/changelog)
-People are looking for alternatives
-Derpi staff overhaul
-Rainbooru and Ponybooru are (almost) fully operational.
-Tools available to import images from Derpi
-Twibooru is actually coming
-You can check out all the booru comparisons here https://altboorus.org/

This is NOT the Derpibooru drama general. Please keep posts relevant to booru development. (>>>/mlp/derpi)
