The Red Parade


Cars are still parked outside. If the rapture had happened, why was it unrecognizable? Why was the sky blue? Why did no one tell me? Do these things not announce themselves?

You hid links? No, I didn’t. What should I be looking for?

10174859
Yep! The links are pretty well hidden Well one's kind of obvious throughout the story. There are eight video/external links and six supplementary story links, I think like two are in the story itself and the rest link to each other

Interesting. I’ll search for them.

Thank you for another story! Looking forward to it.

Seeing Equestria use the same year pattern we do does make things a little confusing.

I really like the distorted pictures you've included. However, if you're putting 'clues' to be read in the squares, they're too difficult to read.

10182907
Thanks! Yeah, that was kind of intentional... maybe if you click it and get a better look?

10182903
I was just too lazy to come up with a dedicated year system just for the sake of one story lol

10182938
Ah, so that's where the hidden links were.:raritywink:

10182940
That's where the external links are, yep! You're the first person I know of to find them lol

10182945
The deleted comments I made were "hints", but then the hidden music creeped me out and I very frantically calmly deleted the comments I made. One was, "SCP is interesting if you can find it." Another was, "Say your prayers."

10184140
Oh I see! Congratulations on finding them!

10184277
Thanks! I clicked all the photos and the space in between the two stanzas of the obstructed poem. Was that all?

10184386
There are quite a few more! Fun fact, I never had this story beta read by anyone so it's interesting to see how well it's performing!

10185099
You might see a familiar name if you check the description!

You know, the Grey Mare kind of looks like Octavia in a way...

It has just been confirmed by The Red Parade that I have found all the links! I can't believe I did it! I even solved some of their puzzles! I'm surprised that I was able to do it at all! :pinkiehappy:

10174899
I found 2 and 5 those weren’t hard but like short of just spam clicking the screen I honestly don’t know where to start on the other 4

10197771
I think the next one to find links from number two, so if you found number two you're already pretty close!

No, I don't think I will come closer, th-thanks. :')

holy moly I forgot I wrote this story until you commented on it XD

Oh shit, there's even more? :O I kind of figure I know what the password is, but I thought that would be it!

EDIT: Nope, I have no idea what the password is. :B

PresentPerfect

Well, that's one! I can't believe I didn't recognize the reference! :D

I'm going to assume there's just one per chapter.

10531619

Each chapter has at least one if I remember correctly :U

10531603

uhhhhh honestly I don't remember them all myself XD

but if you found the link then I think the text should have given you a hint for the password

Unfortunately, I'm not good at these. :( I figure by this point it has to be the name of the daughter, since that's the name of the project, but I have no idea where I would have found that out.

10531722

I don't believe the name of her daughter was the password, I think it was a part of the clickable text in the link

Can't find any of the story supplementals, but i love the pacing and unkowableness in this. It's an otherworldly unknowableness, where the danger is you dont know about it until its too late, not just mystery for myster's sake.

This was extraordinarily ominous. I always love stories that are presented in this sort of fashion. Short transcriptions that leave more questions than answers. Horror doesn't usually get to me, but dimensional, alt-universe type stuff gets under my skin, and it didn't help that I was reading in the dark in dead silence. I'm still a bit uneasy. :twilightsheepish: Wonderfully done!

Also, the mystery of these hidden links is gonna have me up all night! If I counted right, I found about 9. I cannot for the life of me find the others.

Fascinating and horrifying. I wasn’t able to find all of the hidden bits, but this was still a great take on the source material. Thank you for it.

So I found all the fancy hidden stuff was a fun adventure.
love me some SPC adaptations and this was better feeling then the actual SPC one

~Reggie

This is really excellent! Well-done horror a la John Carpenter. An interesting concept, and good character voices.:twilightsmile: lots of extra effort too with the pictures and hidden hunt.
