Each of the chapters of this fic is an independent story featuring one of the Mane Six having an encounter with the supernatural. They are presented as one story because of their common theme. The stories written so far are:
Fluttershy: The Curse of the Night When Angel falls sick, Fluttershy ventures into the Everfree Forest at night to find a remedy. Though she faces danger, she escapes... but not unchanged.
Rarity: Blood and Water You know the story. Rarity gets seduced by a creature of the night, and her friends don't realize what's happening until it's too late. They find the vampire who turned her and destroy him. But then what happens?
Rainbow Dash: The Big Battle Discord's defeat didn't erase every trace of his influence on Equestria. Fortunately, hard-working ponies are already gathering the remnants of his power into Manehattan for easy disposal. What could possibly go wrong?The Monster Mash

ReplyDeleteAwesome im coming home from work and guess what i find on the internet?
ReplyDeleteLoad of pony!! Yay!!
so much sad and grimdark.
ReplyDeleteim I like one of the few in this fandom who ISN'T a manic depressive or something?
it's CARTOON PONIES WHY DO YOU WANT TO MAKE IT GRIMDARK.
People write what they want to write.
ReplyDeleteGrimdark and Sad happen to cover all aspects of Tragedy, which according to Aristotle makes up at least half of every genre in existence, including every one that takes itself remotely seriously. That's why there's so much Grimdark- it's a ridiculously broad category and none of the tags intended to help break it down have caught on in the slightest.
So yeah, some complain about the massive amount of Grimdark, I complain that Grimdark is a stupidly generic category that tells you almost nothing about the story itself. At that point, you may as well revert back to labeling everything as either a Comedy or a Tragedy.
@Hydra in a Top Hat
ReplyDeleteit's Tragedy ABOUT CARTOON PONIES.
am I the only one who see's something odd about that? I mean hell even I have a share of Grimdark fics I like but still CARTOON PONIES.
write some goddamn comedy, you know like the show itself is.
call to arms for happy stories, pls.
ReplyDelete@Blightmare
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
Why does nothing I read ever update?
ReplyDeleteI am sorely disappoint.
@Mojo
ReplyDeleteOne word:
Conflict.
Most stories need conflict, it's very rare to see one that lacks it. And even rarer to see it done decently. When people want to tell a story they often go for the easiest forms of it. Which are typically tragedy and emotional strife. So I wouldn't say there's so much sad and grim dark just because everyone's a manic-depressive. It's just that it's easier for many amateur writers to weave a story from heavier themes then it is from light-hearted ones.
@Mojo
ReplyDeleteI'm not entirely certain you grasp the concept of fanfiction. Or even the concept of fiction in general.
Gah. Fanfic writers in this fandom are so frigging shallow. They have two stock endings-- "and then they F##ked," or "And then they DIED."
ReplyDeleteAnd they use NOTHING ELSE.
Through the eyes of another pony
