If it’s what I think it is, “Back To Basics” was an event where we were supposed to write stories about the very first fluffies, the ones that were released early by PETA to a world that didn’t have fluffies or anything like it. No feral problems, no existing herds to join, no Fluff-TV, Cleveland not having blown up yet, just a group of new and unique little pony things who have never seen the outside world suddenly being dumped into the wide world.
I drew a comic for it, but I don’t remember much else really happening with the event. There was maybe one story? And then the rest was … just … kind of not. The whole event was quietly forgotten and never brought up again.

And the rest of the post is just a bit of grumping about how slow the site is (but not blaming anyone for it).
