Brilliant!! lovely take on the werewolf style. I hope you do one for Swamp thing or perhaps the mummy.

If I may make a suggestion, wendigos are quite interesting.

I like it a lot. Of course I'm a sucker for the classic Universal monsters so that was kind of inevitable.
But anyway, I'm looking forward to whatever comes next. (especially if it's Twilight meets Frankenpony)

I like all the

Mad props on this one, LOVE IT.  Can't wait to see the rest. Although i wouldn't care if you continued just this one instead

i agree with dr. bob's idea, but i can imagine rarity doing something like a frankenpony.

SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Oh yeah.  Putting this series under a watch.

Interesting. I wonder if the others will become some manner of monster as well in their own chapters...if they have one.

Great story. 5 stars from me.

Um, slenderer?  Is that even a word?

I don't read many fics that give me so few ways to correct them.  

Thanks for all the positive feedback!  I hope the second story pleases as well as the first.  (And yes, 'slenderer' is a word.  I looked it up. )

Quick question: Are the changes going to remain from chapter to chapter?  Or is each chapter a separate continuity?

Love this story (Rarity would make a GREAT vampire) heres hoping the next thing is swamp thing (sense the monster was born cause of science i see a violet unicorn being the one to cause it.)

Here's hoping for monster-Twilight next
Also, a very interesting read. I love the fact that you put the more classical vampire in.

Huh, you know this is a good chapter (I'm going to assume you left the end open so that readers can draw their own conclusions about what'll happen to Rarity) but actually... As good as the rest of it is... I really find myself wondering what the pony vampire hunter's story is. I assume he's meant to be an analogue to Van Helsing? Where did he come from, how did he get here, is he just Van Helsing only ponified or are there differences between him and his human counterpart? I'd kinda like to see another story with him in the starring(or at least a greater) role.

That said, excellent chapter.

good stories! i like the fluttershy one better (but i am more of a werewolf fan to begin with ). can't wait to see what you do next!

These are pretty great so far, and I'm sure the next four will be just as good.

Well, I'm sure three of the next four will be good. I'm not entirely certain how you'll pull off Pinkie as a monster without the whole thing just getting silly.

Hehe. Nice stories. I await more impatiently. Keep it up.

vamp rarity, cool. hmm.. i wonder what sort of thing's gonna happen to dashie... or AJ... this will be something to pay attention to.

The only problem i saw was a mishap with 'shys orignal eye color...... but silver, not green. Her eyes are a teal-ish color. Great job, though!

Beautifully written, such poetic prose to go with an excellent story. I look forward to seeing what else you will create in this series.

Beautiful ending, I loved how you made it that she was free of her over-shyness. And I LOVED the whole werewolf take, werewolves are the best 'monster' creature

>>13194
Each chapter will be its own continuity; for one, it'd be a bit silly if each of the Mane Six were a different sort of thing simultaneously, and for another, it lets me mix up the tones of the stories a bit.  (Rainbow Dash's is going to be over the top, while Applejack's is going to be the darkest of the lot.)

>>13476
My intent there was to say that Fluttershy's eyes had changed from the corrupted green to the purified silver; if you think you can make that clearer, feel free to PM me with your suggestion!

I love these stories so far! I'd have liked this one to be a little more conclusive though, but oh well, your wonderful writing makes up for it.
Can't wait to read the next chapters! When do you suppose they'll be done?

....well it was better than Twilight, I'll give you that... I just hope the effects of these stories stay with the mane cast from chapter to chapter. It would be unfair if only a few of the ponies got super skills from after their ordeal and others are left unchanged. Also I don't approve of Rarity staying a vampire. Take her addiction of blood or something but don't keep her a vampire! Also i'm crossing my fingers for a conclusion that either makes the mane six epic Halloween creatures or something that removes any and all effects....Also, ten pony points to you for having pinkie jump out of the ground with a mallet!

>>13188  Good to know.  You learn something new every day.

Wonderful writing once again, I thoroughly enjoyed your story, despite the fact that the idea of Rarity suffering like this actually causes me physical pain.

You have a gift my friend, keep doing what you're doing.

- Yay!

This story is a well-written take on the werewolf mythology!  I deeply enjoyed it.

>>13805
As I previously commented, each story will be in its own continuity.  I might do a seventh story, some sort of inter-continuity mashup, but only if I think I can pull it off.

>>13692
You're in luck!  "Rainbow Dash: The Big Battle" is up right now!

FReakin Awesome

That was indeed over the top. Im now glad that there all separate...you are either the best dark humor writer ever or your insane...see you need time...(make an epilogue musical with all of them dancing to the monster mash!!!) oh and I want z-z-z-zombie ponies!!!!

Great Stories as a fan of Stoker's Dracula it was great to see a story that had the Vampires or Horsferatus (pardon the pun) powers only diminishing in the sun, not like many others were it kills the vampire.

HO-LEE-SHIT.

As a huge Godzilla and Kaiju fan, this was so freaking awesome... I don't even know where to begin...
Masterful. Truly MASTERFUL.

I also recommend this music when the giant lizard first becomes... you know, giant and terrifying. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6qAIaqK3_Q

P.S.
>>14471
For the love of God, DO IT.
It'd be like the Avengers movie but with heroic monster ponies... and it would be GLORIOUS, I mean... you have no idea how awesome this would be to see.
And given how well you write the individual stories, I think you could pull it off

I must say, I never expected Godzilla & Ultraman to be used in this story. Nice job. I really liked the whole fight scene. It felt like an actual giant monster movie.

So, I'm guessing this went along the lines of a Godzilla Vs. Mothra Fight, Correct? Because the only other two flying Kaiju I can think of are Rodan and King Ghidora and both of their fighting styles don't match what Rainbow did during the fight. That and the fact that one of Mothra's forms is called RAINBOW Mothra.

WOW! i never expected a godzilla/ultraman bit!! good work!!!

So... Dash turned into Ultraman (or would Ultramare be more appropriate?). Huh. That's... quite possibly the best thing ever. Like, ever. Completely.

That was great from the a point of view of a Brony and a Gojira fan (or does Otaku fit better with that?) Kaiju Ponies for the win

Okay, so I the whole thing with Ultraman(never really was a fan of that one) flew right over my, but I still say the fight was more like a battle between Godzilla and Mothra. And yes I am the same anonymous that posted a couple of hours ago.

Edit:

It absolutely disgusts me that this story only has 4.7 rather than the 5.0 it deserves

Okay, I was honestly thinking you were going to be doing the traditional hollywood monster pantheon. I mean, you already did werewolves and vampires, I figured that next would be swamp monsters, living blobs, maybe bigfoot/sasquatch or aliens.

I was honestly not expecting Godzilla and/or Ultraman.

Not saying that this is bad, just... Wow.

Keep it up!

^
Dude... Pinkie should totally turn into a living blob thing... Like a pink, gelatinous, shapeshifty blob...
That'd fit her so well, you know, since she eats so much. And she'd get even more bouncy and she'd look like pudding.

Watched Ultraman right before reading so this was double awesome!

All I can say is "MOAR!"

Ha ha, wow.  I was wondering what sort of monster Dash was going to get.  I didn't see this coming and it fits her to a tee.  Well done!

I'll be honest, I enjoyed this less than I did the last two. That may be at least partially because I'm less familiar with Kaiju than I am with Vampires and Werewolves, but I just thought I should mention it.

SIX STARS. FIFTY. ALL OF THE STARS.

I love pony stories like this that are just off the wall and yet still stick so true to the feel of the show! All of the chapters so far have been incredible.

If there's one thing I like more than vampires and werewolves, it's Godzilla.
So far this chain of stories is turning out wonderfully. Keep it up!

I was expecting the Godzilla, but Ultradash? So Awesome!
If you do go through with that final crossover, I will shower you with hugs.

5 Stars. Rainbow dash is the anti-godzilla.

>>14669  I think it would fit Pinkie more to be a ghost.  She would be less bound to physics than she already is, he could totally throw people off by making it seem grimdark in the begining, and then BOOM! Pinkie Pie, not realizing/ caring that she is a ghost, suprises everyone and tries to throw a party, only to have difficulty when her hooves kepp passing through everything.   Things could get even more wild when she learns to posses people, all of this leading to a climax when a ghost hunting pony comes after Pinkie!  Also, because ghosts need some regret in order to stay on the earth, a sad, touching moment involving Pinkie's past could be thrown in there to counter the suffocating amounts of funny Pinkie could churn up.
Either that or we could have Pinkie turn into a zombie who tries not to nibble on her friend's ears when she gets the zombie munchies and she keeps asking ponies if they had any spare organs she could have, just for that sick, twisted macabre humor.  Of course, with the zombie route, a reference to That fanfic would have to be thrown in there.....

Spectacular writing, and a good take on the vampire myth!

You did well, creating an ethical vampire.

*WILD APPLAUSE*

Immensely creative.  And just as immensely fun.

Ultradash! Awesome!

I do like the choice of music at the bottom, although as Rainbow Dash threw the monster into space, I was imagining Guile's theme playing... since it just makes everything about 20% cooler

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLJLyneZGKc

Chapter 3, not my cup of tea. Still hilariously awesome though. lol Keep it up, man.

レッツゴー！ ウルトラダッシュ！

"The energy that Ultramare receives from the Sun diminishes rapidly in Earth's atmosphere. The Warning Light begins to blink. If the Warning Light should stop, Ultramare may never rise again!"

>>14471

I'd love to see some continuity. Though, honestly, this could have been kept continuous simply by making this chapter take place at night.

What problems are there, exactly, in making them all in the same continuity? Or did you mean that you originally meant them to all be in different canons?

>>14532
Well, I couldn't neglect Rainbow Dash's ability to fly, but my intent wasn't to recapitulate any specific kaiju battle blow for blow.

>>15022
I will not reference 'Cupcakes'.  I think it's sad that that story has received as much attention as it has in the fandom.  I may have had ponies very carefully not thinking about a few things in Rarity's story, but you were not to infer that she was any sort of psychopath as a result.

As for the rest of your comment... you'll have to wait and see.

>>15342
As I said earlier, I have two reasons.  One is that having each story be independent means I don't have to, for instance, consider the ramifications of Fluttershy's lunar blessing during Rarity's story, or answer what would happen if Rarity tried to mentally dominate the big lizard, or the like.  The other is a question of tone.  Rainbow Dash's story was deliberately silly and over the top, an effect that would have been muted if I'd had to bring Fluttershy's mysticism or Rarity's quiet regret in.

Which brings me to an important question.  I've taken a break to write another piece of fiction (it's a Conversion Bureau story, and yes, that means I'm one clopfic away from losing all dignity), and part of the reason is that I'm uncertain which chapter of this collection I should write next.  Twilight's will be last, but would you rather see Pinkie Pie's story (which will be, well, Pinkie Pie's story) or Applejack's story (which will be by far the darkest of the six, though not grimdark) next?  Let me know, and I'll take your thoughts into consideration.

>>15439

If AJ's story is going to be the darkest one, than I would save it to be second to last. Aside from that, I really want to see what you do to Pinkie, I'm putting my money on somewhere between a ghost and Cthulu. Yes, I am the same guy who thought Rainbow's battle was based off of a Mothra vs Godzilla fight, and if you've seen the Rebirth of Mothra trilogy, you could see where I got the Idea.

>>15439
Hey, I'm all for another Conversion Bureau fic.

As for which Monster Mash I'd like to see next, I'd suggest Applejack's just to get the "not-quite-grimdark" story out of the way.

Is it sad I picked up immediately on the Ultraman reference as soon as I read that Dash's necklace from turning from blue to red?

Seriously, the first thing that went through my head was "The energy that Ultramare receives from Celestia's Sun diminishes rapidly in Equestria's atmosphere. The Warning Light begins to blink. If the Warning Light should stop, Ultramare will never rise again."

Please FredMSloniker, finish this before Halloween. If you finish this before then, I'll give you a cookie.

>>16861
No, he should post Twilight's Story, or the mash-up if he decides to do it, ON Halloween.  It would be perfect timing.

Are all the mane six going to be transformed into something weird?

the order i would put the chapters in is:


also, the mashup chapter is a must.

Definitely agree with teh order above me:

u are way too good a writer to be leaving us hanging this long... whats with the wait?!?

>>18781

Hey, I do things besides write, you know!  You'll be glad to know, though, that "Pinkie Pie: Gallows Humor" is now complete.  Give it a look and let me know if you spot anything that needs fixing; I didn't have my usual prereaders this time!

Hehe. Dat ending. Great job, and good luck to ya. Keep it up.

.......*shudders* I am very gland that these are oneshots that shouldnt be taken seriously...mabe for an ending, you could break the 4th wall? ...oh god that would be a scary ending.... Dash going monster sized while being possessed by pinkie pie.....do it!!!!!! Oh and are you going to have all of these up by halloween? It woulda like you have most of them written out...or stleast outlined......anyways....two more left to go! Btw: how did pinkie die?

What...what happened to Pinkie? How did she die?

You know, I think this has been the best one yet, in terms of how well-written it is.

Words cannot describe...

Excellent, purely excellent. Best chapter yet.

It's implied that Pinkie Pie's death was excessively violent, so as far as I'm concerned I'm going to imagine she exploded—and then she exploded again.

>>18960 Very messily, apparently.

Hmmm... This one was a fair bit darker than the rest...

Wow. That was certainly something. And something is my favorite.
(Note to self: Stop making puns.)

Yeah, this was definitely a darker story. Doesn't make it any less awesome though. Great job.

While a scary story it did have a happy ending. And I can only imagine the pony afterlife is a bit relieved... Very nice on hitting the characterisation.

Nice work!  You did an excellent job building the atmosphere in the story, and the ending was excellent.

Man, even with the ending this was kind of a sad one. & just how DID Pinkie Pie die anyway?

one question, how did pinkie die?

Dark but greatly done, good work!!

ULTRAMARINES!!!

To answer everyponys question, she died from diabetes.

once again, these storys blow my mind.
congratulations, good sir/madam(no Idea on your gender)

Are all of these stories continuous, or 100% separate tales?

They did the Mash!
They did the Monster Mash.
The Monster Mash!
It was a graveyard smash.
They did the Mash!
It caught on in a flash.
They did the Mash!
They did the Monster Mash.

I think you need a new prescription.  There were no 40K references in the fic; I don't know much about the franchise anyway.

Ah yes, the big question.  One of the big sticking points for me writing this fic was in fact how to kill Pinkie Pie off.  Given what we've seen the other ponies survive, and given Pinkie's capacities, I was honestly considering things like meteor strikes as ways to off her.

Ultimately, however, how she died wasn't the point of the fic, so I went with the good ol' horror trope of letting the audience's imaginations do the heavy lifting.  Rest assured, however she went out, it was a death worthy of Pinkie Pie.

Also!

(From the story description:) "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."

Why you so bad at read.

Great stuff (All that left now is Applejack and Twilight sparkle... btw are you going to one for the CMC?)

Wow, that was really good.

"It's a surprise!" The surprise is that she is going as Surprise.

Brilliant. These stories are actually really well written. I'm torn between wanting every detail of the supernatural lore (For example, how does one become a vampire in Rarity's?), and leaving just a little off, which is the charm of the short story.

So, why couldn't they have let her remain as a ghost in the way she was at the beginning, where she didn't need to possess another pony's body in order to make her presence known to everypony? When they found the "third option," I had been expecting it to be where they basically turn her into the pony version of Casper the Friendly Ghost, where she's still a ghost, capable of moving physical objects despite being mostly intangible, but also visible (if transparent). That just seems like it would fit much better with the others in the series. You have Fluttershy as a were-creature; Rarity as a vampire; Rainbow as a giant robot (I still don't see how that really fits with the monster idea); and now Pinkie as a ghost, but Pinkie, unlike the others, can only be seen by Rainbow and can't physically touch anything unless she has taken over Rainbow's body? I'm sorry, but it really seems like Pinkie's getting the short end of the stick here; all of the others are transformed into things where they can still at least mostly continue living their normal lives and be seen by everypony just like they always had, but her true form is completely invisible to everypony but Dash and, as such, she can't do anything without Dash's consent? What do you have against Pinkie?

This story is spectacular.  It's incredibly good fiction, not just fan fiction.

And I can't believe the people who are asking how Pinkie died... I mean, it's only been the topic of every conversation for the last week!  

AWESOME... TOTES WIRTH THE WAIT!!!!

NICE (Also good choice with surprise)!! so what monster you going to use next (Will it be something shocking like a kamen rider, or will you use a alien twist.
