While studying an alien spellform, Twilight makes the most important discovery of all time... The one which could doom her planet. | Horror Rationalfic with Lovecraftian & World of Darkness elements. Deconstruction / Subversion of Displaced.
I keep saying I need to come post about this here, but between two hurricanes and everything else, I haven't been able to get on this site in general. I'm posting this now, because I will regret it if I don't.
It's finally election day in the United States, and in about 14 hours, you will finally hear us shut up about it.
For those who haven't seen my post about it a few days ago, it is once again April, and as I've done for the last few years, I'm running my horror event, possibly for the last time...
Ehh, I liked the older one better. I kind of want something weirder, though, like her pony head split in half to reveal even more teeth just so she can eat like a whole watermelon or something. Maybe a really big apple. Since her story will be more about popping up and being essentially an eldritch abomination pretending to be a pony, it makes more sense. That cover makes me think somepony in the story is either a necromancer or some kind of edgelord.
4643911 ......I haven't posted the scene at the end of Chapter 6 where her head gets split down the center with an axe, have I?
4643910 I switched it to the new one because it works better than the old one for the content of the story: there is a person dying by having their form melted into essence in this story, but the World Eater and Worldender don't come up until the sequel. I understand though: I was lamenting the fact that skulls are used for grimderp edgy bullshit so much that I know it's gonna be hard to make it work. The other idea was a hand dissolving from the wrist...
4643920 Yeah, that's the scene you commission for a cover. Stone faced, maybe even exasperation with an axe in her head would be perfect. A single brow raised like she's Dwayne Fucking Johnson sounds awesome.
4643929 Except, that's not the focus of the story. The only truly visceral things happen to Meta, because she's the non-corporeal being telling the story, and that's like one of 3. The main point of the story is subtle, psychological horror, and to use a visceral picture would detract from that...
Ahh, I kindà think the old one was better. But it's just a cover, and only silly people make judgements based on those.
