I'm a student at DigiPen with some skills in music, art, programming, and particularly writing. I've written a variety of fanfics, usually involving ponies in some form or another.

E

The Legend of Nightmare Moon. Simple, right? Not for Princess Luna, who must bear the burden of her mistakes. Since her return, she has never been able to talk to anypony about the night she embraced her inner darkness. At least, not until a visit from Twilight Sparkle.

Chapters (6)

336962 I promise I don't plan descending into grimdark or slasher elements. I may end up pulling the Dark rating later depending on how things go. The story is simply my take on how Luna becomes Nightmare Moon.

Looks good so far. Tracked.

Wow, that was fast. :raritywink:

337249 Not sure why I felt like trying to crank out the second section, I just did. Killswitch Engage for whatever reason triggers my writing abilities and then I can't stop writing.

well, ponies don't have thumbs, but other than that this was a solid chapter. Perhaps hoof?

350834 If I recall, I'm always seeing ponies pick up or manipulate things with their hooves that they shouldn't be able to. Best example I could think of is Season 2, Episode 2, when Applejack takes her hat off of her head after seeing Discord's vision.

It's easier to explain with the alicorns than the pegasi :rainbowwild: I figured they could just hold the blades in their mouths.

Darn, I knew I was not being very clear when I said that. I was talking about this sentence to specifically point out their lack of thumbs, I didn't mean that they can't hold stuff.
"You really think I'll return that castle so I may spend eternity beneath your thumb, raising the moon for you every night as if I were another one of your servants?

351537 ...OH! I just got caught up in writing the dialogue and that completely slipped me! Thanks for pointing that out!

I feel kinda dumb after ranting about how ponies pick things up, now. :derpytongue2:

None of the emoticons are sad enough. I don't know if I am really "enjoying" this per say, but it is a good story.

354933 I hope I'm not overdoing it on the depressing material.

No you are doing a really good job, Luna's situation was extremely sad and that is what I am sad about. You are capturing the correct amount very well.

There needs to be a Luna emoticon. One with a person's arms around her, giving her a hug. Telling her, "Everything's gonna be OK."

383024 No joke, this is probably the saddest thing I've ever written. Sadder than my story about a girl and her father's alcoholism.

383603

Sadder than some of the scenes in my fanfic masterpiece, "Twilight Sparkle and the Witch Baby"?
I challenge you to a sad-off!

It's sad, but it's kind of sweet, too. There's a lot of fan speculation on this period of time, obviously, and while there are a lot of huge, sprawling tales that take this exploration in an epic direction, which is fine in its own right, it's also nice to see a simpler, more concentrated version that probably, honestly, is closer to the sort of thing the canon would do if they ever chose to depict this moment.

569682 In all honesty, I had intended for it to run a bit longer and the ending, while not perfect, was decent. The whole theory of the power of the Elements of Harmony being amplified by the number of wielders was something I just came up with.

I also think I didn't get deep enough into Luna's mind to explain why she lashed out at Celestia, but it gets the point across that she was upset and acted brashly.

I'm glad you liked it!

I dont understand why this has not been featured and doesn't have 700+++ marks.

I'm not even saying that just for anything....I loved this fiction, it was right on par with the greats, a few minor grammatical errors but hell, nothing is perfect.

I think I like this explanation of the Nightmare events better than any of the others I have heard.:ajsmug:

596223 The ending wasn't too good, in my opinion, but I'm surprised it went for so long before getting a dislike. Breaking 1,000 views works for now :)

Thanks for the kind words, man! Glad you liked it!

Now if somepony cam explain why my Molestia clopfic is getting air...
