I've been told that people think only bad stories end up here. This is definitely not the case, in fact we have had 2-3 six star stories in the last few. When an influx of updates comes in, they are compiled here instead of posting five things and spamming the new stuff. Some nights I will only get three, and I toss those up the old fashioned way.
In other words, don't ignore the update posts. As always, you can find past ones quickly by bookmarking/selecting the UPDATE link.
On with the stories!

VastaKustutaNone that I was hoping for, but I may give that Skies one a shot.
VastaKustutaYay story updates.
VastaKustutawasn't expecting this, but cool!
VastaKustutaGo to bed. I bet everyone else is in bed.
VastaKustutaGrablagrbrah! The Night that Never Ended updated! I know what I'm doing tomorrow!
VastaKustutaAnd I missed this one too. *sigh*
VastaKustutaUpdates!
VastaKustutaMore updates!
God I love updates!
too much grimdark D:
VastaKustuta@Knifepony
VastaKustutaI'm awake and getting ready to leave.
Dumb timezomes.
I think the "Only bad stories" stigma of these posts has to deal with the fact that certain stories (mainly Fallout: Equestria) are guaranteed an hour-long bump whenever they update, but that same guarantee doesn't carry over to any 'lesser' stories.
VastaKustutaIf you make an exception for one story, you're saying that other stories don't deserve that same treatment for whatever reason; quality and popularity are the first two criteria that come to mind when evaluating a story's worth. Therefore, if a story doesn't get its own post when others are being lumped together, it is implied that it's not good enough to deserve its own post.
That's not to say anything about the actual quality of the stories, and it's definitely not me giving my opinion on any of the stories that end up here; it's just what I think the stigma comes from.
Do we even have a European guy who manages EqD when everyone else is asleep?
VastaKustutaI mean, there's always a lull in Britain at around mid-day and early afternoon.
@Municipal Engines
VastaKustutaIf they don't have one already, There's probably a bunch of UK bronyfolks who'd give a left hoof for the shot (partly guilty myself. XD), but methinks they're probably quite happy working the system they have going already - can't see much of a reason to change what's worked this far along now.
Derp. So annoying when none of the updated stories are any of the ones I follow xD
VastaKustutaBreaks my heart, it does :( xD
You know, it's been over a year since MLP FiM began, and I still haven't seen the most obvious crossover done in detail: Charlie the Unicorn.
VastaKustuta@Municipal Engines
VastaKustutaThere isn't enough content for 24/7 updates, so I just roll with prime time.
yaaay somthing i rread
VastaKustutaGah! Nothing I read :L
VastaKustutaAlways wondered how it was decided whether or not a fic was in here or not. It's all so clear now!
VastaKustutaIsn't your first post of the day usually at 9AM Pacific?
VastaKustutaWhat? People think that the stories in the lumped together posts are bad? But...so many awesome stories get posted in here. So many...
VastaKustuta@Sethisto This is Insomaniac time, NOT Prime time. Or asian night time
VastaKustutaWhatever im going to sleep
VastaKustuta@Knifepony
VastaKustutaPretty much
Where mah story?!?!?
VastaKustutaIs it funny that the ad banner that appeared for me over this topic said in big letters, "FREE SHIPPING!"
VastaKustutadamn it, the stories I'm waiting for haven't updated yet! DX
VastaKustutaWhere's My Little Alicorn? Shame the updates are so damn rare. As well as that other fanfiction, of that pony in modern times searching for some lost kid of some pony of a higher class in Manehattan. I even forgot the fanfiction's name! Anyone remembers it?
VastaKustuta@Sethisto
VastaKustutaI'm guessing your case is the foremost?
Yea I get insomina all the time. Thankfully I usually don't need to go anywhere...
@gamblinpony
VastaKustutaI keep asking myself the same about my videos. :P
@Zamoonda
VastaKustutaBreaking Bricks?
@Sethisto No worries, I do get it from time to time.
VastaKustuta@Knifepony
VastaKustutaPony-induced insomnia is the best kind of insomnia.
I am impatiently waiting for something that I'm reading to pop up...
Com on guys, finish those stories!!
@CX4Ever
VastaKustuta*come*
Confound my morning grammar.
@Nick Nack
VastaKustutaThis guy has got the right idea. I bet that even if there were this many updates in one night, but one of them was FO:E, it would get its own post. It just seems like an elitist system.
@Nick Nack
VastaKustutaExactly what I was thinking, it should be either ALL of the fic updates condensed into these posts or NONE of them.
And I'm firmly on the ALL of them side.
ALICORN Y U NO LOVE US!!!
VastaKustutaYay, TNTNE is back! Now I have something to keep me occupied after work. W'hoo!
VastaKustutaTwo days in a row where fics I read have updated?
VastaKustutaObligatory YES......YES by Bison. :P
thank celesta another "the night that never ended" update!
VastaKustuta@TenchiFreak5
VastaKustutaYeah! That!
