I haven't read this yet, but is it what I think it is? :rainbowderp:

An "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" crossover?

5841497 not so much a crossover as parody...

That was...interesting.

Honestly, the bit about Sweetie and the ponies with socks club was the best part of this chapter.

...still interested in seeing where this goes.

Why did I read this before bed? :facehoof:

Sweetie Belle tried to start a ponies in socks club but she kept distracting the colts at school and it got shut down real fast.

Yes, she is very distracting.

Submitted for the approval of the Night Mare Society...

She does not mean call girl, does she?

I should totally replace all her frosting with colored Crisco!

Crisco: When generic vegetable shortening just will not do.

Her eyes darted to the wingpower station, wanting to see how far she'd surpassed her usual record of 16.5.

There hasn't been a pegasus in Equestria in two hundred years. Flight is unnatural.

If that is true, why was there a wingpower station?

This is interesting, I would like to see more.

~KBO.:twilightsmile:

the CMC telling nightmare stories--only one image comes to mind for that, the first frame of this comic where Scoots is channeling her inner Courage-The-Cowardly-Dog :rainbowlaugh:.

5842333 Uhhhhhhhhh... because.... reasons? >.<

lol I remember that picture. Seems those two couldn't take the imagery of Sweetie Belle in socks story well. "AHHHHH! She's too cute! Get'er outta my head! AAAHHHHHHH~!" as they bolted back to the safety of home as they tried wiping out that mental image.

Anyhow, this was pretty cute. Guessing Rainbow Dash flew herself into a whole new reality, or worst, that Zebra didn't mention the rock is a cursed item that made her the fastest, but ONLY, pegasus in Equestria. xD

Liking how well Babs fits in with the sort of bully character from the series. Nice parody. I say go with it. At least a couple more nights wouldn't hurt.

Sweetie Belle tried to start a ponies in socks club but she kept distracting the colts at school and it got shut down real fast."

OMG LOL

Oh, I remember Are You Afraid of the Dark? You even included Mr. Sourdough or whatever his name was :pinkiehappy:

5848132 I'm impressed and ashamed that everyone caught onto this reference so quickly lmao

I don't understand the scarecrow thing. I mean, it's a good story (really, these are epic), but I have no idea why scarecrows are used in scary stories. What started it? Was it an old myth, or urban legend that got passed around a lot, or what?

5848717 2001 was the wrong year to be born in. I really want to watch that now! I swear, I'm in the wrong generation!

5853483 I have no idea but it's almost a law that you have to include scarecrows at least once or else the terrorists win. I've done my part.

"It's gonna be locked now, ain't it," she said, before trying the handle. The door didn't move.

Why do they never try to shatter a window?

The scarecrow was at the bottom of the stairs, straw sticking out of its clothes and neck and legs, wooden arms reaching out towards her.

Sure does not sound like Turnip Head.

Applejack turned and watched in growing horror as the scarecrow seemed to animate itself right before her eyes,

Actually, it sounds more like these.

The next morning, Applejack returned to the house with Blue Blood, the local constable.

People in horror stories are idiots. That includes ponies.

DO NOT EVEN GO IN!

Everypony I know says bragging is bad. That many ponies can't be wrong.

5853742 It's a traditional marker of accomplishment, a large portion of the writers on this site do it. Doesn't hurt anything. Besides, I don't consider it bragging.

Can't wait for Sweetie and Apple Bloom's turn. Babs told one heck of a story. Wonder if they'll eventually get ambushed in the middle of one of their stories. xD

Nice little campfire stories. Hope to see more tomorrow or whenever.

Great chapters, keep it up:pinkiehappy:

It also made me think about "The Willies" (1990), a great cheesy little movie about scary campfire tales
and I recommend it:twilightsmile:

5853839 I already know exactly what both of their stories will be. If you want a sneaky little hint, you haven't seen the last of that shady shopkeeper...

5853483

The Scarecrow is The embodiment of fear, it's sole purpose is to bring forth one's darkest desires in which many cases the individual is not yet ready to face, that feeling of the unknown or un-faceable strikes us with fear.

Many of those who have fears associate their fear with an outside tormentor most of which are inanimate objects and or items resembling distorted living figures.

Ex Cases.- The Tall Man, The Boogey Man, Slenderman, The Crying Woman, Many dolls and of course a item that has been around for many,many years The Scarecrow.

:twilightsmile: -This is purely my opinion on the matterof course.

I was about to say- are you afraid of the dark too.

Loved that show!- used to watch it all the time back when I was a kid.

Great story I enjoyed it.

What did Night Scholar post? O.O I never delete comments... I came to check the activity and it was gone...

Apologies.
I just asked if you were planning on having a ponified Dr. Vink, but then I decided that question might get into spoiler territory.

5848132 Now all we need is a pony version of that nutbag, Dr. Fink

...damn...

That was genuinely terrifying. Sweetie's best at telling scary stories.

Very Japanese style horror, actually.

5939620 This one was inspired by Japan and Kiefer Sutherland... they're both on my watch list

The Pokèmon "è" is done by Alt+Numpad 0232. Not sure about the accent the other way around.

Those were awesome :o Now... I fear that Zecora's powder may have... done something... =\

Nice! Keep up the good work my friend.

5939704

Ah, okay. Thought I read Zecora first, then "the zebra" after.

... Now I'm even moreso curious about what Bad Things might come :o

"I need a new mirror for over my work room, the one I have is just so... boring," she said.

There is only one reason to need a mirror on your ceiling. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. Say no more, say no more.

*This word requires an accent over the 'e' AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT *JonTron ECH noises*

You could always do a Google search for "blasé" and copy and paste it. Or, like the Em Dash (—), which is what is supposed to be used to abruptly end a sentence(among other things, click the link), not a hyphen, which can be added by holding down the Alt key, and using the numerical keypad to the right of your keyboard, type 0151, you can get the "é" with Alt+130. I have a list of many of the Alt symbols on Google Documents, if you want to see them, I could send you a link via a private message. I think it is about twelve pages long at this point.

This chapter elicited emotions from me that I did not think I had for Rarity. I need to reevaluate my life.

~KBO.:twilightsmile:

It is pretty neat that every chapter has the same number of words.

5939875 Finally someone noticed that! The first two chapters had the same number by pure coincidence, and when I finished the third one it had 2,193, so I just did some careful editing to satisfy my OCD. At this point it's just another way I try to challenge myself creatively.

5939948 Inspired by? Yes. Ponified? No.

5939954
Ah yes, that would be Mr. Sourdough. Accent on the "dough".

Pretty cool one. Looking forward to more :moustache:

Will there be a sequel? Why was The Tale of the Last Guardian called The Tale of the Last Guardian?

5989229 A reaccuring character in the show this story is based off of.

5939902 Wait a sec! The story says "complete". Does this mean we aren't getting any more?

6017197 There is one more. The last chapter I was working on I was halfway done writing before I realized it was stupid and I haven't figured out how to rework it yet.
