Pleasantly surprised by this story so far, and I'm not a huge one for grimdark too! :)

TheManWithTwoNames said...

Draconequus, but no Discord tag?

Must investigate.

From FIMFiction to Equestria Daily, huh. Well this story is going to be scary for a purple body, striped mane, unicorn. *_*

@Is the Cake Really a Lie?

Just correcting something:
Joy. inb4 Twilight dies. Shipping and comedy... must... resist... Gotta think it's worse than Rainbow Factory, gotta think it's worse than Rainbow Factory, gotta think it's worse than Rainbow Factory, gotta think it's worse than Rainbow Factory, it can't be worse than Rainbow Factory, can- Buck!

There is no such thing a fossilized glass.

Rainbow Factory was actually pretty tame in the horror dept. It was only "bad" in that it set the actions of it's chatacters as standard canon for it's universe, rather than using a catalyst for it's events. That made it disturbing to think of the characters in that light.

This story seems set in a universe using the Show universe as a template so I don't think we need to worry about that kind of trauma.
That doesn't mean this won't have nasty shit going on. I'll personally wait till this is complete to read.
I do enjoy a good horor story but I'm very particular as to what I consider "good" in the genre.

lol 3x combo

Yeah, I'm gonna add that I was massively disappointed in Rainbow Factory. Way over hyped. All those people calling it "worse than Cupcakes" are nuts. Whole lotta buildup to a weak payoff. And its hard to feel bad about random, just-introduced OCs being murdered, period. I understand that Scootaloo doesn't have any other canon Pegasi friends, but damn, if you're gonna base the whole thing around Pegasi getting slaughtered, you might as well shove Fluttershy into the meat grinder too and I AM SO SO SORRY I JUST TYPED THAT, PLEASE FORGIVE ME. ;_;

@mycutiemarkisagun

You are forever stained the the one who suggested Killing Fluttershy.

cheezesauce said...

@Gypsy yup!
@Blueshift glad to hear that
@TheManWithTwoNames That's because the story is based of the idea of Discord. But Discord, as a character, isn't going to appear in the story.
@Nykkes64
@Ravey Thanks!

@Is the Cake Really a Lie?
Well, I'm willing to bet my boots that this story is gonna have a happy ending :D
@Ironlenny
fossilized grass
@Ahiam94
@DPV111 I intend to keep the blood and gore to a minimum. It supposed to be a [dark-horror] tag instead of a [grimdark]



Thanks for all your comments!

Ah lovely to know. I enjoy grimdark action-adventure, but prefer dark (non grim) horror.

So far the horror fic I hold in highest esteem in the fandom is The Silent Shore. I'm hoping this will deliver.

DPV111 said...

@mycutiemarkisagun

Conversely, I hate canon characters being OOC even in alternate universe settings.
I probably would have enjoyed RF significantly more if either all the characters had been OCs or if the story had not taken itself quite So SERIOUSLY.

DPV111 said...

@Gramis

But technically, by RF lore. There is no way Fluttershy should not have been killed as a filly.

cheezesauce said...

@DPV111
I read The Silent Shore a while back. It's very well written, expecially with all that description. But i kind of prefer more action, instead of characters just wondering around and noticing spooky things.

DPV111 said...

@cheezesauce

I'm just a sucker for atmosphere. The part with Twi walking to the balloon with her eyes closed nearly killed me.

Srelio said...

This scars the shit out of me. Love it.

Somethings are unforgettable. Some things are unforgivable. THAT WAS ONE OF THEM.

STORY: Tast don't do horror, sorry. S'the only genre I don't touch.

cheezesauce said...

@Srelio
thanks! :D

@Tast
awww... but but Í promise it has a happy ending!

DPV111 said...

@Tast

Also the Michael Bay Presents story had Fluttershy hold a box of rusty knives while standing inside a woodchipper and then be teleported by Twilight halfway across Ponyville.

I won't spoil it for you but she dies horrifically.

Alondro said...

@cheezesauce

The happy ending you promise: The monster is totally revived and kills everypony! :O

You: But it WAS a happy ending! For my kind, at least... MUWAH HA HA HA!!! *and then it's revealed that YOU are a draconequus!* D:

cheezesauce said...

@Alondro
>_>
<_<
-_-" Dammit! how did you find that out?! It's a happy ending as long as a few ponies survive right? :p
