Everypony Hated That 3 stories
  • Everypony Hated That 3 stories (Bookshelf title does not indicate I disliked the fic!!!) Wow! That basically didn't end well for literally anyone in the story! It wasn't even an apocalypse, everything just went horribly wrong for a few stupidly unlucky horses! Usually implies sadness over sheer fear factor, but still the sort of sadness that makes your skin crawl. There is no happy ending. The pain lives on after the credits roll.

  • Stuff about Apocalypse Scenarios 11 stories I just like stories where everything is basically awful forever for the whole world. Might have overlap with Dark With A Good Ending and Dark n Bitter depending on how many ponies survive.


  • Dark with a Good End 9 stories Shelf Title does not necessarily mean nobody dies. It just means that the badness stops one way or another and at least someone survives long enough to see the end and maybe move past it. Horror comedies are abundant here!


  • Bittersweet Top Picks 7 stories These ones kinda hurt, but it's not all bad. Implies some sort of 'gentle' or hopeful resolution that cushions the blow from the rest of the story. Everything else might've been painful but it's over, they're at peace.


  • Pony of the Week Becomes A Freak 4 stories Involves the sudden or secret downward spiral of a single focal character into Probably Murder. Implies a lack of outside forces directly acting on the character's mind such as possession, but can include mind altering drugs and supernatural sources of stress. It's usually Twilight or Pinkie.


  • Impostor Syndrome 3 stories Implies that the wrongness is contained entirely within one horse, and is the result of an outside force acting upon that horse instead of being a (semi)voluntary action. Said horse may not actually be who they claim to be, hence shelf title. Mutually exclusive with PotWBaF shelf


  • Dark n Bitter 14 stories Well that went REALLY wrong REALLY fast. 'Oh Shit...' ending and/or elements of fridge horror are mandatory here! Nobody gets a happy or even painless ending here!


  • What In Tarnation? 4 stories There's a repulsive twist in there somewhere. Something gross happens to at least one person as the focal point of the story. The gross thing can be gorey or not, but cannot be sexual. This genre overrides all other shelf categories unless there's a total apocalypse scenario in there somewhere too.

At the end of the world, Princess Twilight Sparkle is hidden away in order to survive. All that she has to keep herself sane is a single old computer-turned-journal, and she has no intention of giving in to madness just yet.


Thanks to NaarPuni for the cover art! (DeviantArt Link)

Now has a dramatic reading thanks to ObabScribbler!


Now has continuations: Fade and Falter


Warnings for apocalypse scenarios and strange grammatical choices.

This was written in about an hour for a myriad of reasons, including a want to actually get some writing done, a personal goal of trying to write a short story in about 1,000 words, and for fun.

This story has received some major edits as of April 22, including beefing up the content of several logs, adding some new logs, and other alterations throughout the story, both plot-wise and grammatical.

Under the impression that they are lucky, since rarely do mares ever give birth to twins, the Cakes decide to have another go at the whole having-a-baby thing.

They could not have anticipated the result.

Inspired by "Born of Man and Woman" by Richard Matheson.
