ReplyDeleteFree Masons.

ReplyDeleteOh my... just LOOK at all the grimdark
ReplyDeleteYou know, people probably wouldn't comlain about grimdark as much if we weren't so loaded down with them. >B(
Start something new?
ReplyDeleteSeth, do you even look at the stories you post? One of these is NOT grimdark. ONE OF THEM.
Five stories, four grimdark. Does this bother anyone else?
ReplyDelete@Cold in Gardez
ReplyDeleteA good portion of us I would believe... yes >_<
I would read more stories other than what I'm currently following, but I'm worried about giving them a chunk of my already limited time.
ReplyDelete@Cold in Gardez Yes.
ReplyDeleteRain without rainbows, thought that fic died since it hasn't been updated in like 2-3 months.
ReplyDeleteYAY! Growing Pains! =D
ReplyDeleteGrowing Pains isn't that grimdark. And now excuse me, I have to speed read another chapter.
ReplyDeleteGrowing Pains updated! Awesome!
ReplyDelete@Gayettix It kind of is, especially the Cloppin chapter. And the Hellmouth scenes.
e.e
ReplyDeleteI may try the Sci-Fi one simply because it's the only one of these that isn't grimshit
My Little Metro! I was wondering what was going to tide me over until 5:00 rolled around and the recording studio beckoned =D.
ReplyDeleteSide note: If Sunny Side dies, a piece of me will die with him =P.
YESSSSS growing pains :D it has been too long.
ReplyDeleteMy Little Metro and Pony Space?! IN THE SAME POST!?
ReplyDeleteSETHISTO!!!
ReplyDeleteI shall hunt you down for stealing my autographed photo of Rarity.
*sniff* T_T
Growing Pains?
ReplyDeleteAll hail our glorious queen, Twilight Sparkle!
"Try something new".
ReplyDeleteYeah, not when they are all grimdark, except one :P
Hmmm... Through the eyes of another pony has not updated? Where did it go?
ReplyDeleteThere's also Friendship is Magic Fiction, which has plenty of great (not grimdark) stories. Or Fanfiction.net.
ReplyDeleteEquestria Daily's story updates isn't the whole pony fandom, guys. :P
Pony space:
ReplyDeleteFUCK THE HELL YES
"Try something new"?! But I'm already following 6 incomplete stories! MY BRAIN CAN'T KEEP TRACK OF ALL THIS MADNoh look, Rain without Rainbows has an update. *le click*
ReplyDeletePony Space and Rain without Rainbows?! At the same time?! The fun has been doubled!
ReplyDelete*sigh* I come here to EqD for the best fanfics out there, and most of what I see is Grimdark. Let's face it EqD has become a breeding ground for Grimdarkf*gs when it comes to fics. Now don't get me wrong, I see the other material too and it's beyond AWSOME. But seriously, you allow blood and gore, but go nuclear on a little clopish material UNLESS it's tied to......you guessed it, Grimdark
ReplyDelete@KoA: Well there are different kinds of grimdark. To me grimdark means a very dark atmosphere, and Growing Pains is at some point just lighthearted to me, and no more grimdark, but that's my opinion. :-) (IMO Cupcakes deserves a comedy tag, so...)
