F/F/T3K15 10/8: Spoopy poll! · 2:10am Oct 9th, 2016
Well, it's a wrap on that creepypasta duology. Props in particular to author Obscuruptus for being an awesome sport about us tackling some old shames.
Secondly, equally fitting for the Halloween theme, the horror theme, and the release of Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location yesterday (which I did NOT notice until this morning), today we wrap up "Springtrapped."
Final order of business: we're trying out a new way to do the polls. We're not gonna give you the titles or authors of the stories up for election, and I ain't linkin' 'em. What I WILL do, however, is give you the word counts, as well as choice excerpts selected by Ring to exemplify exactly what you'd be in for when riffing the stories. This is in an attempt to stave off bias towards/against familiar names.
Story 1, 8K words:
It was like something out of a horror movie. There was blood everywhere, on the floors, walls and even on some of items in the room. There were also dozens of pieces of bones scattered across the scene, adding more creepiness to the already disturbing scene before us.
It only got worse from there when we quickly found remnants of the museum staff among the mess, concluding that they were all brutally killed.
Now we knew that the villains were bad ponies, but they were never killers, especially not at this kind of level. The very thought of them actually committing this horrible act worried us greatly.
Story 2, 13K words:
Silence permeated the lavender blue living room as the three occupants slithered around on the carpeted floor. Two of them looked ready to piss themselves, and the other just stood up on her hindhooves; back hunched over and her straight, rosy mane covering her right eye. The pupils were constricted to the extent that they were barely visible anymore and desperate ecstasy was written into her features as she approached the couple. Her toothy grin only added macabre to the maniacal portrait that the other two witnessed, and they shuffled back as quickly as they could; trapped within their own home.
Story 3, 15K words:
A mare with a ghostly-white coat, red-and-green mane, and silvery eyes stood over the other side of the bed, looming directly over Twilight. The light of the moon from the window behind her cast a shadow of the pony over both the bed and Twilight, and the unicorn had never even noticed beforehoof.
The unknown pony was smiling. It was a strange, unreadable smile; she was obviously happy, but it wasn’t precisely clear as to what she was so happy about. In Twilight’s mind, it probably would have been best not to know the reason at all.
Story 4, 10K words:
...actually, no, you don't get a quote. Because even the tiniest sample from the story would give away exactly what story it is. It'll be left a mystery, but know that you will likely recognize it.
Y'all are lucky to get this much out of me for a promo. I don't usually have the time to spare for proper wordy blogs. Have fun, gang.
Could you please provide a list of the original Fanfic Theatre 3000's riffs?
4247450 A. Damn near none of them were ever actually finished.
B. There are so many comments on many of the docs that they'll crash before they load, and so few on others that it may as well just be a straight copy of those parts of the story.
C. I don't even think I have that list anymore.
