Eh. I never claimed this story was revolutionary. I do claim to be an above-average writer who loves what he does and lets his passion show in his work. I aim to not disappoint, even if people think my story is unoriginal.
And, to digress, consider television; I can name at least three different zombie shows, all with their own dedicated fanbase, each as popular as the last. Just because it's been done before doesn't mean it's bad and should be dismissed. I mean, if everyone did that, no one would ever read another Fallout Equestria, ever. But, to each his own, yes?
If you're a fan of romance or music, I've got a good story about those topics.
And I do have a few other Grimdark in the works, but these two stories are my primary focus now, as I've got them both completely finished, barring edits and minor revisions. It will be a month, at least, before I get to publishing my other stories.

7233874 I'm sorry if I 'sounded' like I tried to be degrading to your work, it's just that I'm kinda tired of 'zombie' worlds, yet games I don't have said problem, and I understand what you mean with Fallout Equestria. I go for stories in that genre that suit me, but like you said 'to each their own'. I apologize again for being out of line and have looked into your other story and am tracking it and do look forward to your other stories.

And I didn't mean to sound so defensive. My apologies too, for giving off the wrong impression. I fully understand zombies are overdone. I don't hold it against anyone to avoid something that bores them thanks to repetition, but I also advise them to watch out; spend too much time dodging bullets, you just might dodge something worth catching.
But this story isn't revolutionary or anything, which is why I'm not putting as much effort into this story as I am my others; especially Bassdrops and Bowstrings. That's a much more recent and interesting work.
I tried to spice this story up a bit by placing it in an entirely 'Grimdark' world... What I mean by that is, most of the 'namesake' MLP Grimdarks exist in this world. For instance, the Rainbow Factory is there, though it only has one worker these days. The Blanks still wander around the Everfree. I plan on them becoming a bit of a problem later. I doubt it's enough to redeem the whole 'Zombie' angle, but eh. I try. This story really is just an ode to my progress more than anything else.

7233992 never heard of the blanks. I do like 'Grimdark' stories it's just I have to find one that hit me with interest.

Well, I'm working on a maybe-crossover Slendermane Grimdark. I mean, he's technically canon, so I don't know if I should call it a crossover, but... Well, things get crazy, fast.
And by the Blanks, I meant the Grimdark game/fic Story of the Blanks. You know, this one. Looks like a zombie story. Is not a zombie story.

Funny story; I made those journal entries as a test, really. This was my first story, written a few years back, and I wanted to see how the style looked. I liked it so much, journal-like entries became a regular thing at the start of each chapter in my primary novel. I confess, I was also partially inspired by The Mistborn Trilogy and Stormlight Archive (Both astounding series by the awesome Brandon Sanderson.) which use pre-chapter entries to great effect.

The 'Dark Magic Eyes' were always one of my favorite design choices. The concept of dark magic being able to corrupt the minds and bodies of those it's used on and used by always gave me some fun ideas.
I confess, it becomes pretty clear later who the antagonist is. I left it obvious on purpose, as to utilize dramatic irony. You know he's a villain, the characters don't, which makes things a lot more fun.

Hehe! Thank you. But, interesting thing, each race of ponies go through the shift differently. Unicorns are the least affected because the magic preserves their minds, to an extent, allowing them to cast dark magic with some degree of competence. It may never be touched on, so;
Earth Ponies, who were the intended recipient for the plague when it was created, undergo the most painful transformation. Their bodies warp, forcefully enlarging muscle mass, while maintaining volume, making them more dense and more powerful, but slower due to their muscles being too much. They've got a body like Snowflake (Bulk Biceps) crammed into the size of an average pony.
Pegasi are, in a way, the opposite. They are slimmed down, becoming agile and fierce. Think of them like Hunters from Left 4 Dead, able to charge and leap where other zombies, at most, can run. Only these beasts can fly. Put in the fact that they retain their magical flight abilities, despite their rot, and retain all previous levels of skill from flying, and you've got some nasty undead. Put simply, Undead Wonderbolts would be a living nightmare.
