You know EQD doesn't accept mature fics, right?

oooh...:trixieshiftright: mystery....

3312601 From the rules, EqD does not accept:
-X-rated content, including sexually transgressive or gorey stories
-Incest, foalshipping beyond a schoolyard crush, and other broad cultural taboos
-Humanized/anthro stories
-Avoid people from the fandom, famous or otherwise.
-Copy-paste stories (e.g. The text of Harry Potter with character names swapped out)
-Stories written in a language other than English
-No stories involving bronies. -Human in Equestria on the other hand is alright.
-No compilations of short stories.

The contest rules state this:
This means no excessive gore and no sexual content.

A mature fic is not necessarily an X-rated, ultra-gory, highly sexual fic. I've read mature stories that are mature for the themes they use, and manage to skate around excessive gore and sex. The story was originally Teen, but it was rejected for the need to be mature for the theme of the story. And don't you think a horror story contest would provide some leeway for a fic such as mine?

Sorry if that come off as pretentious or jerky. And if this fails, I'll try again next year. No worries. I don't expect to make it anywhere near the top ten, anyways.

While I don't really like fics written in present tense, it fits this story, especially the dream sequences. Generally, those dreams are its best part, while the final part, when they meet etc, is weaker, it seems a bit cliche to me, and it was then when the present tense started to annoy me.

Overall, the story is good, I can't see any mayor grammatical mistakes. There's the same issue with paragraphs as in Full Dark, but it's easy to fix.

Well, this was quite interesting :rainbowderp:

3779864 Good interesting, or bad interesting? I'm looking for feedback so I can make the Darkverse as good as possible. What creeped you out? What scared you? Was anything not creepy at all? Etcetera, etcetera.

3781585 Interesting as in "how the fuck am I gonna sleep now?" interesting.

Which is EXTREMELY rare, because fics normally dont creep me out any.

So, you done GOOD

3781954 Well, I'm glad it was satisfactory.

At least, I think I am.

Yeah. I'm pretty happy. Just out of curiosity, whose nightmare did you find the most interesting?

3782025 Twilight's nightmare.

3782340 Ah, yes. I think my personal favorite was Rainbow Dash's. Originally, the whole fic was supposed to be the library burning down because of the evil presence, but that kinda sucked, so I made it about Spike, and decided, 'this needs more', and thus the rest of the Mane 6 came along. Either way, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :pinkiehappy:

Congrats! Not only as a Masterpiece, but your story has been reviewed!
This awesome link right here!

Came here from the review. Honestly, this came off a bit weak to me. Nothing the clown did was particularly frightening. Shocking, certainly, but nothing to make me shudder. It also lacked a strong atmosphere, something I find vital in dark fics in general and horror in particular (see "The Silent Shore" by The Descendant for probably the best example on this site). I think this was due to the lack of attention given to the girls' reactions. We needed more from them for me to really feel it.

It doesn't merit a down vote, but at the same time, it didn't really do anything for me.
