Contents

FIMFiction features thousands of user groups that cover topics from proofreading to character discussions that serve as a "writing school". [6] Academic studies have identified a system of "distributed mentoring" (in which writers receive feedback from various members across different channels) within the My Little Pony fan fiction community. [7] [8]

Unlike many fan fiction communities that tend to mostly be female, FIMFiction has a predominantly male audience. [6]
