When the Mane 6 first found out they were being secretly recorded by invisible cameras, they were a little freaked out. After some time, they got used to it. Now, Twilight, Rainbow, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie watch the show regularly. But when Pinkie Pie shows them fimfiction.net, they are greeted by a mysterious message on Pinkie's fimfiction profile. Events are thrown into motion that cause the ponies to explore the darker side of fanfiction, while reading their way through some of the fandom's most infamous grimdark tales. Sort of MST-Style, but in the view of the ponies themselves, rather than the writer of the fic.
Chapters (1)
The Experiments of Twilight Sparkle!
I'm intrigued. This could easily turn into a rather interesting story...
Although it's not grim-dark, I would doing something with 'My Little Dashie, perhaps a little reminder at the end of their grim-dark trip that not all fanfic's are messed up.
I would recommend 'Party of None,' because it's a brilliant grim-dark horror that needs more praise.
Link: CLICK ME
i like, and yes do sweet apple massacre
WELP,
There is this one fic I know of, it's called Enabling I believe. Fairly creepy.
CLICK CLICK
I'm so interested, give me MOAR, or I'll find you.
Cherilees garden is a really messed up one (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/1766/Cheerilee's-Garden)
i just remebered how sexual harvest is .... oh well
and Harvest is about the CMC (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/5622/Harvest) and just busniness isnt really well known or very gory but grimdark nontheless (http://www.everypony.com/forums/showthread.php?3503-Just-Business-A-Grimdark-Tale) i hope you will make many people sick to their stomachs
I hope you know what you have gotten yourself into
Because the suggestions are never going to end; EVER.
On that note I have a suggestion, the way you have described this and set it up looks to be more of a literary form of a reactions video; basically the story being written out, and occasionally censored, followed by their reactions. While humorous in a "schadenfreude" sort of way, it wouldn't be all that deep. But this could turn out to be very, very interesting. Rather than a copypasta of stories with reactions this could be a great way to draw a picture of their personalities.
Taking the two obvious choices above, I'll suggest some ideas. I might note that I don't actually read grimdark, but I think at this point we all know what happens in Cupcakes and R.F. Cupcakes would be a way to get Rainbow and Pinkie to consider there friendship, as well as provoking a moment of introspection from Pinkie Pie as she is plagued with doubt surrounding her own sanity. Rainbow Factory would probably be more comedy oriented, as Rainbow realizes that she doesn't actually know how Rainbows are made; which makes them want to visit Cloudsdale more while being even more terrified (Pinkie will probably
when she remembers she tasted a Rainbow).
Gah! What am I doing! Anyway, awesome idea; you have a better stomach for Grimdark than I do, sir. Good luck!
*Clicks track*
i know my fav artist Jake made the silent ponyville series not that grimdark but they do get hurt alot and has sad parts
there is 3 to pick from although silent ponyville 3 is incomplete
You should definitely do Human, by DannyJ
(I've got a few other ideas, as well:)
The Fart, by Bill O'Reilly
The Fillycaust, by Jiopop
One Final Day, by Carmine
Eternal Embers, by Esipode
Meh, there is already a very big and very good MST-Style fic out there...
cheerilee's garden, patty cakes, severing... lots of good, reeeaaaallly grimdark fics out there... but yeah, no clopiness=
in this situation.
lemme think o' some more....
Watching MLP:FIM when you're the ponies from the show... INCEPTION!
I was gonna suggest those trollfics by mrhappyface, but those are too much like sweet apple massacre. Curse my lack of grimdark knowledge!
I saw how you said "Darker Side of Fandom". Doesn't restrict it to only fanfictions.
I suggest Luna Game 0 and Story of the Blanks, extremely dark games.
And bring in other characters! Love to see Zecora's reaction to SotB, or Luna's to Luna Game 0!
silent ponyville
(reads comments) wait
no one's recommended this yet
Suggestion: parchments.
think cupcakes... as done by twilight psycho and fluttershy.
OOOOH this is gonna be GOOD!!!!!!
DOOOOD!, This isn't going to end well. Keep strong, Overlord Twilight, Dood!
Oh and a Prinny bomb will be dropped on your home if Sweet Apple Massacre is used, you have been warned, dood.
The anon messages that appeared during the story just made me laugh. I love it.
I can tell just from sitting here that these four will be scarred for life. So, I'll be waiting for the next chapter.
You'll do GOOD grimdark too, right? There's an Alien crossover on EQD I liked. Multi-chapter, if that makes a difference.
On the other side of the scale, there's Parchments. It's basically Cupcakes with Twilight and Fluttershy, except needing writing material instead of cupcake ingredients.
Why yes, I AM excited for this. What made you notice?
You can try my fic "Little Bakery of Horrors." It's a sequel to Cupcakes that describes what happens to Pinkie's next victim after Rainbow Dash. I'll give you two hints as to who it is: Once again she's one of the mane six, and once again she's a Pegasus.
It was riffed on MPPT3K just earlier this week, as a matter of fact.
At least Fluttershy and Rarity are spared.
I might as well learn more about the grimdark side, as I do intend to play a pretty damn dark story later, although it will have a happy ending.
if you plan to move out of grimdark fiction sometime then could you do 'corporal punishment'. preferably with spike, rarity, aj, and rainbow dash present.
Anyone else have Doc Scratch from Homestuck as their headcanon for the mystery user?
Tracking, can't wait for more :)
The list refers to 'probably will do'.
282347
Great ideas. I will probably end up using some.
282185
Added to the list.
282684
Good idea, added to the list.
Rainbow factory. Good fanfic great song
282231
That story was about rape, kidnap, and incest. Not to mention the abundance of graphical description of puke, shit, and piss.
Why would you enjoy reading that?
282418
The One Final Day series is great. Can't wait till the next one.
365937
It's been too long since we had a new chapter.
365921 enjoy that?
no
think it would be funny to see AJ's reaction?
anabolicminds.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=51505&d=1327199456
is this dead?
Don't use Sweet Apple Massacre. Even the author of it said it sucks.
Parchments!!
encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRSleVX11VJv5j3zmXGSDZfcBZj1nZ6NRku4GQ0v5-aBJcbWixE
Use something with the CMC in it.
Rocket to Insanity? It's where Rainbow Dash has nightmares about cupcakes that don't go away, driving her to go crazy and go after Pinkie.
Something like that, you wanted suggestions, here's one.
Hmm, actually, I'm gonna go read it myself right now.
PLEASE don't use Sweet Apple Massacre.
I'm not sure if you'll be using multiple chapter stories, but I think fLuTtEr by AnnonyMouse would be good.
i.imgur.com/nDClO.gif
Please do add Rocket To Insanity might also want to include all three of the Rainbow Factory endings, until the sequel comes out
Soo uhhhhhhh..... Where's the next chapter
It's been 3 months maybe more
Now you've gotten me into reading Grimdark fics.
Awesome....
Slender pony
fLuTtEr is not too bad, though it is over 56,000 words over 16 chapters (plus a 17th that details the sequel, CoRoNa.)
Cheerilee's Garden is my favorite grimdark so far. Pages of Harmony is also pretty epic. Pegasus device was also written as a sequel to Rainbow Factory. Ripples and The End of a Nightmare are supposed to be grimdark, too, but I haven't got to them yet. I'm really interested to see where this goes.
2269856 As the author of Pages of Harmony, even though it's not yet done (if anything, the biggest stuff is still to come), if there was a fic or something where they did read that, I would smile like crazy, *GLaDOS voice* And laugh. And laugh. And laugh. Ohhhh boy. *end GLaDOS voice*
The Secret Life of Rarity could be pretty funny. They'd be beatin down the doors at Carousel Boutique just to see if Rarity does have pony skins and what not on the walls.
Just a creepy one. Not sure if grimdark but..... Pattycakes by: Pegacorn Ondacob
Oh! Here's a few:
The Cough
Rocket to Insanity (It kind of connects to cupcakes.)
Experiments of Twilight Sparkle
Something Sweet to Bite
And I think Pony.Mov MAY count... not really sure.
Apple Sleep Experiment is a good one too.
Butterflies. It's my favorite Fluttershy fic.
I’ve got some fics in mind, you can find them below:
Rainbow dash’s nightmare
She watches, I dance
The cough
Rocket to insanity
Quod timeo
I know all of them involve rainbow dash so DEAL WITH IT!!!!!
