http://www.fanficmaker.com Makes truely terrible tales https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC38ZqCCbG5ylNmuAEd4BMWA Pretty big update today;

* In celebration/cashing-in on a certain new film, you can now take your fanfic to space. Simply press the new button at the end of the style settings (should work on all new browsers, but probably not well on phones)
* Added a FAQ section with details on the various features, using state of the art 90's GIF technology. (seriously, we still use Gifs and its 2016, its embarrassing)
* Added Star Wars:TFA preset
* Added Sonic:satAM preset (which actually should have been in earlier, but the preset list wasn't refreshed)
* Internal Code updated to use GWT 2.8, Guava 20.0 and Java 1.8. This should mean its all a bit faster
* Lots and lots of bugfixs on snippets - hopefully no more "getting stuck while loading" errors.

Ok, that's it, hope people have fun with that new button. Feel free to link us to videos/pics you made so we can share them on our blogs and youtube channel.

Theres a yearly charity event where a comedy sketch group plays probably the worst videogame ever made for as long as donations are high enough. Its been going 10 years, and raised a astonishing $694,000+ dollars this year.

Fortunately, for anyone tuning into the stream, they do a lot more then just play the game in the corner.
One of the things they did this year, to our absolute delight, was not only read a fanfic made at this site, but also do a interpretation of our illustrious default author.
Enjoy;

Fanfic
Serenity Darkmoon Raven?

(The game in the corner, incidentally, is DesertBus....it takes 8 hours in real life to score 1 point, and all you do is drive in a straight line.)

* Heros can now by set to use a gender neutral pronoun by specifying unspecified. I choose 'they' as the most established/accepted one to use, even if it does sometimes leave it ambiguous if your referring to one or more people.

* The url system is more robust, letting you refresh the page and it returning you to the same page while also saving the current story details.

* Additionally, the url will change each time you edit a new setting.
(specifically when you click away). This lets your own "preset" and then just save it as a bookmark for later use!

Thats it, more features maybe in a week or two.

]]> 8th Aug 2015 01:10:00 GMT+2 http://www.fanficmaker.com * Auto-capital letter use at the start of sentances for alternative names.
* Alt-names chosen not quite so often, and never for a characters first mention
* A few new requested presets added.
* Internal support for setting/using variables. Should help write storys that refer back to earlier things easier.
* Stoped browser-selection of title. (told you these were minor things :P)
* Added a few messages because the tshirt takes such a long time to generate

Note; This update might have messed up some story links. Really sorry about that. Due to the way the random seed works its hard to keep things exactly the same when I add new things.

Thanks again everyone for using the fanficmaker and spreading it around to help the site grow :)

]]> 6th July 2015 19:00:00 GMT+2 http://www.fanficmaker.com Anyway, thanks for everyones support. Great to see people shareing their creations with others. Share the horror!
--
Please let us know if theres any problems with this new version as a lot changed internally.
Loading is still a little slow for the first fic that appears, then it will speed up for ones after. I havnt been able to deal with this yet.
Also, as mentioned below, we will try to add/updating the story bits more often. So you might want to keep backups yourself if you
want exact copies of your storys.
Thanks again!

]]> 21 June 2015 20:00:00 GMT+2 http://www.fanficmaker.com * Visually not much changes but MASSIVE internal changes to make it quicker to edit/update things in future.
* Lots more story snippets, almost double what was there before (and more to come!)
* Popup help system for some stats
* Quite a few new presets
* ability to email a copy of a fic as a backup (and you should because....)
* ...links wont link to the *exact* same fic as we improve snippets. If you want an exact copy, keep one yourself
* tshirts
]]> 21 June 2015 19:42:00 GMT+2 http://www.fanficmaker.com * Updated the secret page a little
?? - what should I work on next? We really need more story templates
- But also the ones we have already could do with updating to better use Hobby,Power and Setting...umm..Settings - So new ones? or better old ones? :) Vote in the comments! ]]> 27 Nov 2014 17:00:00 GMT+1 http://www.fanficmaker.com * Added another shipping template: party time ]]> 4 Oct 2014 17:00:00 GMT+2 http://www.fanficmaker.com * Currently only a few templates for this, but more will be added next week.
* Discovered 5 or so templates previously wernt ever showing up due to a bug...so...umm....now theres "new" story bits added!
* Inteligent Titles for some fandoms. Try, say, "Harry Potter" "Chuck" or "My Name Is Earl" and it will now make plausible sounding titles for those shows/books. * Asycn loading - the story will assemble from the top down, letting you read the first bit as the rest loads. * (hopefully this will compansate for the increased semantic use slowing it down a bit) * Ok, I think thats it. Have fun, and please spread the links :) The more support I get, the more I can create! ]]> 4 Oct 2014 17:00:00 GMT+1 http://www.fanficmaker.com * Sorry about that :(

* As a work-around a link to an old copy of the fanfic maker will be provided.
* -------------
* Thanks for everyones support! Keep those suggestions and ideas coming :)

Failed. It does popup eventually, but Opera browser is much quicker for some reason.
]]> 22 Jan 2014 12:00:00 GMT http://www.fanficmaker.com * Started adding a new feature "|" operator in names acts as a OR.
eg. Picard|Baldy|Shiny Head
