Pick a pony for a serial killer fic. · 3:07pm Apr 15th, 2013
I'm thinking of writing something where I can horribly murder ponies with a serial killer. If you could pick one serial killer(s) who would it be? Preferably it'd be a pony no one has written a serial killer fic about yet. (so pinkie, rarity, big mac, and twilight are out. Dash sort of from Rainbow Factory.)
Has anyone done Cutie Mark Crusader serial killers? Or Vinyl Scratch, she travels plenty and could easily kill some ponies. Who do you want to see on a killing spree? Derpy? Berry Punch? Diamond Tiara? Trixie? Gilda?
(picture the cmc cuting out cutie marks to try and 'gain' another pony's cutie mark. Maybe they cook them up and eat them to gain their power? Just picture Scootaloo carving Dash's cutie mark off and chewing on it like beef jerky. d'awww.)
p.s. I'm also probably going to start writing/editing again on Wednesday. I must admit, recent caffeine intake has boosted my morale substantially, though.
you nigger
i'm doing a serial killer fic
and it's better than yours
because it has lightning dust in it
also i would go with the CMC idea
"cutie mark crusader homicidal sociopaths yaaaay!!!"
i would fav the shit out of that
i picture Vinyl as the show off her killings kind of pony
but no i havent seen any Vinyl or CMC killer fics yet

Challenge accepted. Who can write the best serial killer fic? I'll let you go first so I can
plagerizefigure out a good motive. Anyway, I really need to wrap up some of the 5 concurrent stories I'm writing first, then I can write a mature gore fic.I am leaning CMC but maybe someone has another great idea. They look so innocent, right up until the three of them lure you into their treehouse...

I could picture Vinyl backstage during a song at a night club, drugging and killing a pony. Also, probably raping... but let's not get ahead of ourselves and devolve this serial killer fic into something truly disturbing quite yet.
CMC serial killers?
I'm not sure... I don't remember one so...
My response to CMC serial killers?
Lols, I rewatched that and I can't help but laugh at the idea of this scenario:
CMC - And we were thinking Twilight, what if we were to try getting our Cutiemarks
in killing everypony.
Twilight - *Eyes widen* Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!....
CMC - Okay Twilight, yeah... We get it! You like the idea!
Octavia.
CMC killers has in fact been done, most recent one I can think of was Scootaloo becoming one after accidentally finding it to be her talent and enjoying it, and trying to get sweetie and applebloom to get into it as well.Doesn't mean it can't be well done. I imagine something of a Dexter in training story arc, as they try and get the hang of doing these things without being caught, figuring out the tricks of the trade through trial and error.

Huh... Can I have in on this competition?
I'm in the planning stages of this huge Final Destination fic I came
up with a while back. I know that technically it might not count as a
serial killer fic but there is two things to keep in mind.
One: In the Final Destination movies, it is pretty much established that Death
is a sentient being with a will of it's own, so Death could be labeled as a killer.
Two: In my fic, though this is a bit of a spoiler (but not really because I'm going to
establish this part of the plot rather early in the story) there is going to be an "investigation"
taking place within the deepest reaches of the underworld, Tatarus. So whether or not it actually
happens, in my story, Death is a being that can be confronted.
1009616
It seems like it's been done I just don't feel like searching for one. It's not plagerism if I come up with the exact same MO on my own, haha. CMC brings about the apocolypse by Bronywriter is sort of a serial killer version of them
1009631
I guess so, though I won't be writing it for a month or so. I have other stories to finish first.
So ideas so far:
1.) CMC (eats pony cutie marks)
2.) Octavia (uses piano wire to suffocate ponies)
3.) Vinyl (kills them during dubstep songs)
4.) Cadance (murders with love, as in 'oh I really love this power saw, let me stick my ____ in it. GAH!!!!)
Yeah i would have to go with the Cmc's it just seems right, and nopony would suspect the cutie mark Crusader!
1009657
Hmmm....
Even though I vote for the CMC, here is some ideas for stuff to use if you were
to go with Vinyl.
After a kill, she uses the various parts of the bodies as instruments of a sort and prerecords
the different sounds she can make. Then she uses the sounds in her repertoire of shit to mix for
her next performance. And perhaps even have her record her victims screams of agony and she'll
use those in her dubstep as well =P.
I'm using best Mane 6, so she's taken
That GiF sold it for me.
CUTIE MARK CRUSADER SERIAL KILLERS YAY!!!
why not cheerilie, everypony trusts her with their kids, she could easily come over to discuss their "Homework" and kill an entire family.
The gif convinced me, either the CMC because of the checklist, or Berry Punch cause the fandom says she's drunk almost all the time (srsly, though, no offense but drunk people tend to get crazy and bloodthirsty), maybe Pinkie from Cupcakes (I'll go with BP on this one)
Here is a list of ponies that have already been used as far as I know (So everyone knows)
Rarity - The Secret Life of Rarity
Fluttershy - Murdershy (I think it is a tumbler thing)
Twilight Sparkle - Twilight's Dollhouse (I wonder who wrote that :D )
Rainbow Dash - Rainbow Factory
PInkie Pie - Cupcakes
Big Macintosh - Sweet Apple Massacre
Cheerilee - Cheerilee's Garden
Possible Characters:
Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Applebloom (Cutie Mark Crusaders)
Lyra Heartstrings - Lyra could use her music to lure ponies to there death
Bon Bon, Berry Punch - Bon Bon can sell poison candy, Berry Punch can murder victims in her basement and use them for wine
Luna - She was banned to the moon for a thousand years, of course she is going to have problems
Derpy Hooves/Ditzy Doo - Undercover as a dimwit to lay the suspicion off of her
Vinyl Scratch, Octavia - Can easily travel on tour for music, which was pointed out by author ^
Trixie - Ignoring that last episode we saw her, it could be possible
Nurse Redheart - She secretly kills patients from time to time, covering it up as natural causes for disease. The perfect disguise!
Colgate - Similiar situation to Nurse Redheart (Just thought of this, but like Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street)
Characters that would seem extremely out of character unless very well done:
Spike - He doesn't strike me as the kind of person to kill something else
Granny Smith - Her hip is shot
Silver Spoon, Diamond Tiara - They are brats for the most part
Celestia, Cadance, Shining Armor - Out of character for the most part
Soarin, Spitfire - I don't even know how
Applejack - She would be difficult, since she is the Element of Honesty
Characters that I deem impossible for certain reasons:
Time Turner - Fandom heavily believes the Doctor Who bit, which being the serial killer type just doesn't match up with
Filthy Rich - Why would he want to kill other ponies, he is *BEEPING* rich! Unless it was kind of like Batman, but bad..
Gilda - Claw them to death?
Donut Joe - He sells...killer donuts?
Other suggestions:
OC Characters (Mostly to kill)
Revisiting a character already done but with a completely different perspective and reasoning
I hope this list helps you out!
How about Bon Bon and Lyra? Lyra could lure ponies, and then Bon Bon could poison them.
I do remember seeing many CMC serial killer fics.
Try to pick a background character that you like, and give them a good personality. In serial killer fics, while I do enjoy the gore scenes, I always love it when a character is given a deep personality(or mentality) . My suggestion is to use Caramel or Noteworthy, since they have little to no canon personality, so you have a clean slate to work with. I suggest them over more popular background ponies because most bronies have their own headcanon for certain ponies more than others. I myself hate to see Doctor Whooves gorefics (unless they have a completely different character and back-story that are really strong) because my personal headcanon interferes with that. The same goes for Derpy, Berry Punch, and Carrot Top because the personality for them in my headcanon may strongly conflict with their personality in the story. As I have said before this is reverted when they are their own character, and they have a strong personality. When this occurs, I am drawn to the story, just because of the change and interested due to the creativity of the character. Also, think about a good motive, for murder, other than just murder. The rush, the voices, a compulsion all come into play. But most of these still has to be triggered by something. In Bronywriter's The secret life of Rarity Bronywriter has gone out and said that it's not a murder story, but more of a story about addiction. Motive, character, and general creativity all come into play when writing a story involving murder. But above all, have fun with it.

Yeah, there is an uncanny valley between showing a main character descending to madness, and a completely unknown background pony. If you take someone like Lyra and start murdering people, tons of Lyra fans would just find it weird to read. As Bronywriter proved, you can turn a main character into a canon killer and make it compelling.

CMC sounds fun but it has been done. Twilight's Dollhouse isn't very serial killery, more of a story of unending friendship.
Here are some I like (in addition to cmc even if it's overdone.)
Colgate the demon dentist of sweet street. "Just a little nitrous oxide and we'll begin the operation..." It's such a perfect cover and they let you knock them out.
Luna as freddy krueger (whose movies I've still somehow never seen. Dream killing ftw?)
Cadance - grants 'wishes' / curses people to 'love' something to death (imagine if Twilight suddenly loved sharp objects, or hugging Spike and crushed him.)
Gilda does eat meat, and I hear pony meat is the most succulent of all.... in fact, ponies may be The Most Dangerous Game.
Derpy Hooves, murders anypony who is cruel to the disabled... by disabling them and setting them loose in her maze of death! (live or die, make your choice...)
Applejack could take honesty too seriously, and start killing anypony who lies. I know Bronywriter is doing her and Fluttershy soon in serial killer fics and I don't think I'm ready to go toe to toe with him in a serial killer fic.
Maybe Celestia is like the god emperor from Warhammer 40k, and requires a steady stream of pony sacrafices to stay immortal.
1010401
I did consider "Soilent Candy." Bon Bon would basically be cupcakes at that point, though.
1010352
The Most Dangerous Game would be a great way to kill ponies. It'd have to be a unicorn or skilled pegasus, or even Gilda. She could kidnap them and set them loose in the Gryphon Kingdom where they hunt ponies for sport. (Okay, now it's sounding like predator...)
Octavia is rich enough to do it, but how does an earth pony kill pegasi and unicorns? She'd have to remove their horn/wings and that defeats the purpose of hunting dangerous game.
Bonus points if anyone finds out if "The Most Dangerous Game" has been ponified yet. I think Gilda and Dash as partners, hunting down ponies, could be compelling. Perhaps Gilda spared Dash from the tournament in exchange for Dash's word she'd help kill ponies. Dash would regret what she has to do to stay alive as she hunts down her former best friends... (I'm thinking some kind of shock collar would have to be involved.)
1009596 Could you please do Applejack? Everyone in the fandom has a grimdark fanfic except for Applejack, even
cking Fluttershy! I had an idea where the Apples have a fucked up family tradition where they turn ponies, though they prefer unicorns, into fertilizer for thier Zap Apples. Mainly because Zap Apples require magic to be made and unicorns have the highest levels of magic (and they completely lied about the origins of Zap Apples)

Dollhouse isn't gorey or mature. I have a lot of stress and pent up anger, and I want to brutally, sadistically, mercilessly slaughter ponies so I can project my co-workers onto them while I do it.
.... okay I see your point, I'm pretty fucked up in the head. Maybe I should break out the hard liquor and see if that helps.
1010789
Applejack would be fun to do, she's the one you'd least expect. She'd make an excellent "Dexter" (able to tell who is a bad pony and end them.) She'd also make a great killer with your idea, fertilizing the zap apples with the innate magic of the ponies she murders.
If I still feel like writing incredibly gruesome will-probably-get-banned fiction in a week, I'll go through with it. Hopefully the homicidal ideation passes by then.
Zap Apple Farm! Where your fears and horrors come true.....
1010842
Hm, well that's an acceptable reason in my book
My vote goes for the cutie mark crusaders then. Keep in mind every idea has been done, and some ideas have been done more because they're good ones. Taking this into account I think a cutie mark crusader slaughter fic holds the most appeal to me.
1011113
I just need some MO's and a valid reason for them to cannibalize ponies. I figure Sweetie wants to be a doctor, accidently messes up and a doctor kicks her out of the hospital. She starts killing to 'learn' from the cadavers.
Scootaloo I'm thinking wants Dash's exact cutie mark for herself. She finds a book or something at Zecora's describing cannabalism or something to gain another ponies power.
Applebloom... now why would she kill? Maybe she has a temper, accidently seriously hurts Diamond Tiara, Sweetie plays 'operation' but only makes it worse, and Scootaloo decides since she's dying anyway to eat her cutie mark and see what happens? Once in, they get addicted to the rush?
I don't know, but it keeps my up at night...
Also, so many other fics to write first.
Have you considered Little Strongheart? She could be forced to kill an enemy of the tribe by her father, which could send her down an emotional spiral where she feel anyone outside of her tribe to be an "enemy" to said tribe. She could be compulsively killing anypony, maybe her father?
1011418 Or *cough cough* you could always use my idea *cough cough*

I am being so inconspicuous
Doesn't Trixie already have a murder fic? One where she traps Twilight and admits to going around killing unicorns for their magic and that she is next.
OH! OH! OH! Pick vinyl, Pick vinyl. I dare you.
CUTIE MARK CRUSADER SERIAL KILLERS, YAY!!!

That's my favorite idea at the moment. Babs, Apple Bloom, Belle, and Scootaloo (hey, their serial killer team name could be B.A.B.S.) each have a different motivation to kill. What starts as the "first death" will force them to lie to protect each other, because if the guilty party of the first kill is ratted out, they'll all be put to death as accessories to murder.
Something like that, to try and explain the MO's and stuff here would just confuse everypony. One story at a time, I have two near completion to knock out first.

DO IT!
I absolutely adore gore fics!
1014985
It's on my to-do list now:
1.) finish Puppet
2.) Finish Sanctuary
3.) Start CMC serial killers
4.) finish Big Mac
5.) finish Dollhouse
7.) cry because I have less then 5 simultaneous stories to write.
8.) Finish scootaloo
9.) Buy a spaceship
1015063 Finish Dollhouse and then Puppet, 'kay author? 'Cuz that'd be a really good idea.
1015063 Damn, I was really hoping you'd go with my AJ story.
Oh well. I gave the idea for you because, lets face it, there are no Applejack grimdark/serial killer stories, and if one were to write one, well, that would really set the tone for later grimdark AJs (if there are ones). You have alot more writing experience than I do, and I'm 50/50 on whether I'd bomb it or not, so I thought you could do what I might fail at doing. I'll run with my idea, and if it sucks, well I gave it my best shot. Hmm, bet that was what was going through SargeantSprinkles's head when he wrote Cupcakes, and look at him now! Pioneered the MLP grimdark fanfic genre. Man, if I'm lucky enough, might just end up like SS... a guy can dream.

Don't be sad. The main reason I'm not doing it, is Brony Writer called it like a month ago. He's a much better writer of serial killer fiction then I, and it's his next story (after a few last chapters of his Killer Rarity-verse.) So, if he decides not to write it, or somehow does it poorly, then I'd gladly write an AJ Serial killer. 99% chance his is so epic, mine wouldn't stand a chance. And I'm not just saying that, he's like some kind of serial-killing genius.
1016461 ......Well now I just feel silly
1015063 that's why you finish a story then start a new one
