Astrocity


Wanted for writing and crimes against humanity. Mostly writing...

T

Strange things happen within the Everfree Forest. All ponies know that. What they don't know is what lives in it. Everyone is in for a surprise when a zombie comes crawling out of the wicked forest. Call it a curse, an awoken evil, or a cruel joke. It could be many things. No one expects that it wants to talk of all things. But under all that decaying flesh, there's still a heart, though not necessarily still working.

Maybe it takes a shy pegasus and a little bit of kindness to get that heart pumping again.

Set before Twilight's Kingdom.

This is looking good so far. I look forward to more.

An intriguing premise... but doesn't the current cover rather give away the twist, if it means what I think it does?

IE, the 'undeath' really being the effect of poison joke.

Still, I'll give this a try once it isn't Get-The-Freaking-Heck-To-Bed O'Clock.

5027410 Didn't mean to make it a twist or anything.

Eh, fair enough.

Just thought I'd point it out before bed, just in case.

And the first chapter made it pretty obvious that poison joke is involved anyway.

Once more, with gusto.

Only read the first chapter yet, but like what I see so far. I do question what possible personality type the poor mare might have had for this to constitute a 'prank,' though.

Just seems quite a bit more mean-spirited compared to what poison joke did in the show proper.

Well it could be that she just happened to die in a patch of poison joke, and the poison joke is then somehow keeping her undead. But I suppose we'll find out eventually.

I am loving this story!

A decidedly odd, yet appealing tale

This is a great story and I am looking forward to see the next chapter :pinkiehappy:

There's something beautiful in how the concluding paragraph of each chapter turns distant and contemplative.

Very interesting premise, if the new chapter hadn't put it on the front page briefly, I would never have found this. Would love to read more.

Intriguing idea. I hope you do more of it. :twilightsmile:

I am glad this this wonderful story got updated :pinkiehappy:

Please let the continuation to happen a little earlier than in year and half this time.

Huh... interesting...

I am intrigued and inspired to write something... oh lordy what have you done.
Nice job.

Awww... so sweet and yet... this will have a sad end.
I wonder what this pony's story is? Hmm...

Nicely written.

This I like, more you write?:scootangel:

I just barely came across this story, and I'm completely charmed. :twilightsmile: I hope we'll get to see it through to its conclusion.

Very nice chapter, good work well done.
Looking good so far, so keep it up.

Awww this is such a cool premise, I love it! :heart: I am loving Goldie... I want to know more and see this go on through, so keep it up!

i am loving this, it is pure awesome sauce, so good work on this man :yay:
Loving it like Mcdonald's :heart:

Is the zombie a human?

A fascinating read. Here’s to hoping you update this more regularly from now on.

A pretty cool concept for a story and it's well executed. Can't wait to see more.

This is creative and unique.

Well done, very well done.

Then, without warning, he faints. [...] I gingerly lift him into his basket [and] throw a blanket over the young dragon.

Oh, poor Spike. :trollestia:

Nopony believes him, and now he's going to question his own sanity. :facehoof: :pinkiecrazy:

Eh, hope he gets a chance to get to know our zombie a little better later on. :pinkiesmile:


Great story, will track. :pinkiehappy:

Poor Spike. Oh sorry for taking this long to read the latest chapter of your story.

Huh. I was under the impression that she was never going to really regain her past, but now it seems like she might be able to.

Hmm... quite interesting here, I ponder if she'll ever remember who she was? I'm quite interested in finding out her past...
Nicely done.

I am just waiting for the beating at a dead horse saying to come in

love this story so far... please continue

Aww I love Goldie :heart: Her thoughts, her experiences with the world around her, I love them!
I can't wait to find out more about her.

Good work.

So, was it the timberwolf that was rustling the leaves? She says she is glad she saw the timberwolf one last time, but there is nothing said about the timberwolf showing up before that.

Shit , I liked this story some times ago and just realized I forgot to fave it :facehoof:
Well , at least I somehow found it again to correct that mistake :twilightsheepish:

This reminds me of a movie trailer about an apocalyptic world filled with zombies. In it, a girl was saved by a zombie who, instead of eating her, loved her at first sight and wanted to be with her.

So Is that guy Goldie bit going to turn into a zombie? I know that she isn't your stereotypical zombie, but who knows where this story could lead...

Warm Bodies. Good movie.

I take a few steps forward and look back at the dark forest. I see a wooden tail vanish behind a tree.

Silly one.

Whew... broken laptop? I know that feel, mine broke and I had to replace the screen, was quite the affair... but even after I fixed it, it wouldn't turn on. Waited six months before trying to turn it on again.

Good work on this chapter though man, was an awesome read!
And I wonder that myself... will Hoops turn? Or...

Good show.

Wow, this is great!

Sorry for not reading this sooner :facehoof: I hope that the next chapter will be up soon.

Ahhh, how true that last line can be.

Good work on this one, good work.

So this story rises from the dead. Like a certain someone. :thinking: Looking forward to the next chapter.

Are these the Romero zombies that are shambling mindless monsters made from the recently deceased that just eat everything; or the "Return of the Living Dead" zombies who can plan ahead, can move even if they're almost nothing but bones, eat brains to stop the endless pain of their existence and can only be destroyed by nuking everything?

:pinkiecrazy:

"There are people who are good at coming up with names. I'm not one of those people..."


Me nether
