I meant to post this last night but just after I replied to you the /end/ went down again. This is one of the side things that has arisen. While this is clearly a joke I have been messing around with the idea of using gifs for a medium for an actual story. This have to be slowed down but it would be interesting to see if a fic or storyline of some sort could work in a gif. Another option would be to use gifs the way they were originally intended for storage and transport of images. (if you don't have an editor that can open gif files and view each layer don't worry or even put up the effort to install anything right now as this is just me toying around on a secondary objective). Just some text and tiny images if you wanted to add a little flare, maybe able to fit a whole chapter that way. Though the use would be questionable I could see it as a secondary way to transfer fics on /mlp/ if you could fit it into the file size limit.
