Hey there!! Just a fellow MLP fan here!! Feel free to send me a message if you ever want to just talk, I'm always up for a chat!!!

It's Nightmare Night, and something is off. Maybe it's the full moon outside, or maybe something much more sinister. Twilight becomes entrapped within something she finds she can't quite explain, but she knows one thing for sure.

Something is not right.


Winner of Poniverse's Nightmare Night contest 2014! The gore is pretty mild, and it's mostly implied!

Set post-season 2, but pre-season 3, so Twilight is a unicorn!

This is confusing. BUT it is not bad it is good but like i said confusing.

My reaction to this fic:

BUCK man, that was freaky! Admittedly, it wasn't exactly explained what happened (I kept thinking up until the Dark Magic book entered the equation that Twilight was gonna be a werewolf, but I actually like the book explanation more), but you gave us just enough that the ambiguity levels were understandable, and actually made it more effectual even. Very excellent scary fic for Nightmare Night, kudos!

5209130 Aww, thank you so much!!! I wanted to keep it ambiguous enough so the reader was like "waaait a second..." and then got really creeped out when they finally realized what was happening. :trollestia:

Thanks a ton for reading the story and liking it, it means a lot to me!!! :pinkiehappy:

I was in the mood for atmospheric creepy and this certainly scratched that itch. Even though the reader can figure things out midway through, you add enough details throughout to keep pushing interest through to the conclusion. The introduction of the book makes the whole story have a slight tragic bent to it.

Good job on this one.

I found my way here some month-and-a-half late because I found out you won the Poniverse Nightmare Night contest. (Congratulations by the way!) Might as well read it now, right?

I can safely say that your first place finish was well-deserved. This story really is quite creepy, and I liked how you structured it, going from place to place, revealing a bit more about the story with every scene. The foreshadowing is not very transparent, but I kind of like it that way; it underpins Twilight's obliviousness to the situation. This is the kind of dark that I just can't pull off.

Now this one's probably just me, but I couldn't help but feel a little . . . let down(?) by the ending. It just seems a little bit too deus ex machinima. I don't feel the resolution is explained enough, besides mentioning the catch-all, overused "dark magic" point. I guess some could find this ambiguity as creepy; I just find it incomplete. Ambiguity, to me, is when the resolution is never explicitly stated, but several valid interpretations exist to explain it. This resolution has an explanation: dark magic—it's just not altogether a very satisfying one.

Don't get me wrong; I still really enjoyed this story (to the extent that one can enjoy darkfics, at least). I'm just voicing the one niggle I had with this otherwise great horror story. It's very fitting for Nightmare Night.

Oh, and would you excuse me? I have to go clean the tomato juice off of my Twilight plushie. Sticky tomato juice . . . hmm.

Something is not right.

Oh! It's the remnants of my ketchup explosion! Silly me! :twilightsheepish:
