Holy buck a new story by JasonTheHuman!
*drops everything, reads immediately*
A new a JasonTheHuman Lyra fic? I'm in!
EDIT: Well, Bon-Bon fic. But still!
Lyra's reaction... it is the same as mine to this story! And new episodes of Red Dwarf as well? Could this day get any better!?! No, I think not. It has achieved maximum amounts of awesome possible!

Whats this?! Something new by JasonTheHuman? With Lyra and Bon Bon?
Instant like and fav! ![]()
One of my hands
is covered in butter so I can' accurately praise this, I am sorry. But don't fret for I will follow this!Halloween enters JasonTheHuman makes horror fic with Lyra and Bon bon
(its because of Halloween right?)
THIS HALLOWEEN WILL BE GLORIOUS!![]()
Faved and liked before i even read it, because i know that dis gon be gud. ![]()
I don't really have much to add here... I mostly just feel compelled to do an 'inb4 featured' comment.
I'll have to give the first chapter another look later, when I've got the time to read it... well, properly, I guess. For now I'll just stick with the standard "I like the story, keep doing what you're doing" thing. Oh, and just pretend that I threw in some generic MOAR picture.
Good work, etc... and this reminds me that I still need to drag myself around to reading the second half of Anthropology. ![]()
Anthropology's author puts out a story. Insta-fav without even reading it, like a boss.
Alright! I'm glad to be seeing more of your work Jason, you were inactive for a while and I was getting worried that Anthropology had been your one hit wonder.
So far, this fic is pretty damn good! I like how Bon-Bon is ripped from her comfort zone, and into Lyra's! I've also noticed that you have added a lot more detail in your descriptions of settings and actions than in your previous fics. I hope you can keep this one alive and fed, and a word of advice, don't set chapter dates. Don't rush yourself in getting the chapters out, take your time, and give love to the chapters you do complete.
Try to use some more complex sentence structures, and show us the emotions of the characters when they're talking. I noticed a lit in your
past fics, that a lot of the time, the it would be:
"That would be great!" Lyra said.
Try doing this: "That would be great!" Lyra said, her posture relaxing with relief.
One example from the story is when Lyra says she heard something:
Lyra's ears perked up. "Wait. Did you hear that?" She glanced behind her into Bon-Bon's room.
"Hear what?" Bon-Bon said.
"Listen."
This could be changed by adding details like:
Lyra's ears perked up, and her head cocked slightly. "Wait. Did you hear that?" She glanced behind her into Bon-Bon's room.
"Hear what?" Bon-Bon asked, her annoyance towards her tennant showing.
Lyra put a hoof to her lips. "Listen." She whispered, her head lowering slightly in an effort to hear the unknown sound.
It really fleshes the characters out more, and gives us a clear picture of what the they're doing. I hope this fic turns out as good and as well recieved as Anthropology, I know you got a like and a fave from me!
Oh Lyra... didn't you learn anything from Paranormal Activity?
The one who thinks the haunting is cool and makes light of it *always* gets it in the end. ![]()

For that opening alone you get a favorite and a thumbs up. :) The story being good will just be gravy beyond that. ![]()
seems kind of like 'a ghost story,' but from Lyra and Bon-Bon's point of view.
No. No first. "First!" comments are for attention whores.
Anyways, like it so far.
Separate rooms? Disappointing...![]()
Otherwise, I'm looking forward to more.
This reminds me of A Ghost Story I once read...
But I can't wait to see what happens! *kicks feet in excitement* Jason, it's good to see ya back.
Im feeling a certain
vibe from this.
For some reason I was listening to the dead space theme while reading th
is. Need MOAR.
Getting a poltergeist feel just like most everyone here. All that's needed now are chairs stacked on the table and it'll be complete. Only THEN would I want to see their house implore on itself! But I'm getting ahead of myself. It's good to have you writing again Jason. Anthropology was and still is one of my favorite fics. Looking forward to what's in store for this one.
i read this purely based on zee description. i cant say im disappointed.
A perfect ghost story to get into the Halloween spirit! This is great! ![]()
Silver out!
I LOVE Jason the Human's work! Anthropology was excellent, so I have high expectations for this one.
no pressure, ![]()
Nice to see you writing again! ![]()
Saving this for later in the month when I do my holiday readings <3 (yes, I do quirky things like HOLIDAY EVENT READINGS!
)
Yep. Like it. Gives me a certain Paranormal Activity feel.
I wonder if it's really a ghost or just some advanced prank for Nightmare Night.

This had me rolling on the floor ![]()
If I could like a comment,you would get one just for your avatar.
Persona ftw.
On the subject of the story.
very good.Some nice jump scares present,can't help but feel it would be more impactful as a video,but I'm not going to complain.
It's been a while since something has been able to instill a good fear of the paranormal in me.I will report on my paranormal visions and other such paranoia as the story continues.
*tracked*
Well, at the time I had my hand stuffed into a bag of popcorn (I need the calories), and seeing as how a buttery keyboard is no fun, I was forced to type with one hand. I could have gotten up to wash my hand to type a 2 minute response, but the effort involved just seemed to great for the reward. Also, I knew it would make people go "wut?" And well...
Oh look its a lyra fanfic, I havent seen one of those since,

Its the first time to read a Dark story.
Dont know what it feels like......
But enjoyable ![]()
If only if Bon Bon knew that humans were real, and that there are over seven billion of them. I for one, say that Lyra is the only sane pony!![]()
>>1387627 Really? I instant-faved before reading! ![]()
>>1392303 You should read ShortSkirtsandExplosions! Soooo... many... Lyra... fics....
(but seriously, he's amazing, especially Background Pony.)
>>1390030 I know, that was me too!
But then my sister said "Are you really doing a speadsheet on there?", so I kinda shut up. ![]()
Lovely to see another story from you and I'm anxious to see more of it. I do wish your Lyra was just a tad more weirded out though and maybe Bon-Bon was the excited one about ghosts just to do a reverse of the normal Lyra/Bon kind of relationship and manias but still looks like this'll be fun. Thanks for sharing! Added to my favorites.
Goddammit Celestia! You moved the cemetery, but you left the bodies! Didn't you?! You left the bodies, and you only moved the headstones! YOU ONLY MOVED THE HEADSTONES!!!! WHY??!! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?????!!!!!!!!!

Way to keep suggesting something had happened only for there to be nothing at all!
I kid.
Nicely done, found myself looking forward to every line.
Well, folks, strap on your unlicensed nuclear accelerators and call in the local witch doctor, 'cause we've got a ghost to wrangle! Looking forward to more.
Wow, you must certainly know your paranormal. This story actually resembles some of the things that poltergeists (Or in this case ponygeists,) do! And you wrote in such a correct way! I love it! Liking, and tracking. Please my good sir, carry on. ![]()

Acheivement get!! not firsting!!

This is so awesome, it actually sent shivers down my spine. And in perfect timing for Hallowe- Ehehe, I mean, Nightmare Night. I'm tracking this, without hesitation. ![]()
