I enjoy memes and hating myself to the point where people in my vicinity get concerned.

One night in Canterlot, a writer finished his very sad book.

Only one week later, 1/6th of the Equestrian population was dead.

Wait, if I don't even follow you, why did I even get a notification?

Hmm, still, this seems to be a rather promising story. I'll be reading.

1/6th of the Equestrian population is dead.

Raped to death....





...by ducks.

...just from the name, I know that this story can only end in tears. An ocean of them, drowning the general populace. The description only serves to enforce that knowledge. The first chapter drives it home. And I cannot help but watch in morbid fascination as a plague washes over the land, bringing naught but death.





...great, I just went and depressed myself.















YoU aRe NoT tHe OnLy OnE...

Great story, but really needs work on spelling and grammar. It removes a lot of the intensity and suspense. I would proofread the story again or see if a friend would volunteer to do so. The worst grammar/ spelling slip is here:

:flutterrage: !!!MINOR SPOILER ALERT!!! :flutterrage:

"What she scared the living wits out of her, and traumatized her to no end." ( As supposed to "What she SAW scared the living wits out of her, and traumatized her to no end").

Hmmmm....interesting...I must see more to be sure, but I get the feeling this is gunna be a good one!

...Sweet Arceus. Dis gun b gud.

THE JOYS OF READING, EVERYPONY

Keep this up and Equestria is going to start burning every book they can get a hold off. :twilightoops:

Wait, why uh... did all those copies get delivered to the school? I mean, nothing says edgy like dead children, but I don't get why they didn't deliver the intended literature. I also don't know of any teacher who would ever assign reading material they hadn't at least skimmed beforehand. Heck even when I got to choose the book myself the teacher had to review it before allowing me to do a book report on it. "Oh look this mysterious book 50 Shades of Grey was snuck into the school. It's a book, so it must be good to assign it."

It'd make more sense if it was just Cheerilee and a handful of other students who tried to stop her and inadvertantly glanced at the open book, the other half of the class backed into a corner permanently traumatized from being unable to stop their classmates from frantically committing suicide. I suppose it could have snowballed to everyone in the class trying to read it, but there'd at least be a few left who were babbling about the demon book.

I know you were trying for the "Perfect Storm" thing, but relying on shaky premises in order to get everyone to look at the book at once makes my reaction go from :fluttershbad: to :unsuresweetie:

This is one of the greatest dark fics I've ever read. It's just so.... frightening, and depressing at the same time. Like, fav, and follow. You earned it. Keep up the great work! :raritywink:

I think I'm a horrible person, because the description reminded me of this:

:trollestia:

Reading the fic right now, by the way. "Dark" is my favorite genre here, and I hope I will end up curled up on the floor whimpering by the time the story is done with me... :pinkiecrazy:

:rainbowhuh: The description made it seem like a comedy, but the tags say different.... hmmm

This is amazing. All the scenes are fleshed out, mostly all in the right places. There might be a few errors here an there, but it didn't detract too much from the experience for me.

Yeah, the description seems so blunt that it seems like a comedy. The story also says otherwise.

BRILLIANT! 11 out of 10 Grim Dark Work! The Environment, the morbidity, the story is BRILLIANT! The gore is not overloaded, the plotline isn't insanely idiotic, and the way you pieced it together was professional. :pinkiecrazy:

Sir, you have earned a favorite! :pinkiehappy:

This is... Is this a joke?
If it's an actual depressing story, the fact that I'm laughing shows that it's failing horribly.
Definitely worth a fav, though. Freaking hilarious.

ONCE UPON A TIME, IN THE MAGICAL LAND OF EQUESTRIA...

This got so messed up I laughed....then progressed to crying....... no one has ever written a story that could do that before.... f:flutterrage:ing hell you magnificent b:flutterrage:rd good show.

5166689

Yesss. Thank you for that ref.

They're exploding now? :ajbemused: Really?

The chapters are getting progressively shorter. But this one did seem interesting. While I'm not sure about whether the ones who read the book now explode, or how anything exploded at all.

With how anachronistic the show tends to be, It is not unreasonable to think that the supermarket had some propane tanks.

Starting to sound like a sort of apocalypse. Sounds great, keep it up! :pinkiecrazy:

Tragically, most of the book the author slaved over will never be read, because people off themselves after the first two chapters.

...
I have no fucking clue what is happening. This is so nonsensical as to be comical, but the tone is so serious that I'm not laughing as much as I should.

ahah, at first I thought that there would be influenza from when the author left his house to publish, due to how horribly he was living. Undoubtedly he met some ponies along the way, and from there it grows.
But no! He just wrote a horrible book, that makes people oh-so sad...

You shut yo mouth. There are plenty of things in supermarkets that can cause explosions, and due to the fact that everypony is committing suicide, it's not unheard of to blow oneself up. :ajsmug:

Please, keep up the great work. This is an excellent read, and I really hope to see how the rest of it goes!

This is absolutely amazing... I just have to say..... :rainbowkiss:

THIS SPAWNED FROM A SHOW ABOUT CANDY COLORED HORSES. WHAT THE FUCKITY FUCKING FUCK.

Please tell me Pinkie's face wasn't splattered with her own blood. Kill anyone else just please don't kill Pinkie. :fluttercry:

Oh my FUCKING GOD, I LOVE IT!

Im enjoying this WAAAAAY too fucking much. Please continue

PinkiePie, only pony brave enough to cradle two babies with blood on her face B)

well, shit got real.

Wow. I've got to say, even with the over the top blood stuff at the beginning, this has really managed to capture a really creepy feel to me. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind if I wrote a story similar to this. I've had this story idea for a while about mysterious deaths happening in Equestria, but it's more an auditory cue that does it. I'd dropped it for a while because I knew I couldn't get it done by Halloween, but this story has inspired me to pursue that idea again.

Thank you for reading!

And I do not mind one bit. Go ahead. Haha.

The title reminds me more of this

This is a beautiful story.

At first this was kind of funny in how ridiculous it was.

It's not anymore. ;_;
