my smile met my eyes once.... but they didn't get along.

A mysterious spell causes the mane six to slowly transform into monsters at night. Can they find a way to undo it before it becomes permanent?

This is a very interesting story so far. I hope there are more chapters soon.:pinkiehappy:

So what try of monsters the main six turning into?

Kinda sad that fluttershy is a ghost (wanted her to be something awesome) but I do like this story ! Continue pleas

7431869 They... kind of said it already
Twilight = Vampony/Thestral/Bat Pony
Fluttershy = Ghost
Rainbow Dash = TimberWolf
Applejack: Dragon/Reptile of some sort.
Rarity: Unsure/Butterfly/insect
Pinkie Pie: Changeling

7432019 Yep. Rarity's will be identified in the next chapter.

This looks to be fun. I'm not sure the Mane Six look scary enough, but I really like monsters and stuff.

7432652 Their new looks are only beginning. Like the description says, they're slowly transforming into monsters. Glad you like it though!

Interesting. I'm not sure about bat ponies being monsters, but maybe it she starts getting fangs and vampire-y tendencies it be more believable. So far I like it, though!

Interesting premise. Looking forward to more.

7499548 Next chapter is in the works... I'm having some trouble writing Zecora :unsuresweetie: But I'm not givin up!

The five of them filed into the room where the two pegasi were pouring over their books.

That would be "poring".

"Just promise me if things seem like they're gettin outta hoof, you'll write to her lickety split, ok?"

Twilight smiled. "Deal."

"Ooh, lickety split! That sounds like a great name for an ice cream sundae!" Pinkie exclaimed. She began listing off possible ingredients to include.

"Well, obviously there'd have to be at least one banana, because you can't have a sundae with the word 'split' in it and not have a banana!" She paused. "I wonder why.... I mean, what does a banana have to do with splitting? Maybe cuz it's usually a big sundae you can split with your friends? But, couldn't you do that with any sundae? Hmm...."

"Maybe it's because when somepony slips on the peel, it looks like they're doing the splits?" Rainbow suggested.

"Ooh, that could be it! Because then you'd wanna buy them some ice cream after that nasty fall to cheer them up!" She frowned. "But having a banana in there seems like kind of a cruel joke. I mean, wouldn't that be a little 'too soon'? What if the pony was seriously traumatized by the fall?!"

Rainbow Dash stared at her a moment before slowly saying, "O-kayyy. I think I'm just gonna not answer that."

Actually, to quote from Wiktionary....

First attested about 1860, in the US, as a fanciful alteration of lick and the verb split. lick appears to have something to do with animals made to go faster by means of a "lick" of a whip, although it may have also originated due to a preference for rapid licking (the "quick lick").

That would be "poring".

Oops :twilightoops: Thanks, I'll fix that.

This story is faved and it updated. Yet it's not listed in my recently updated stories. What?

"Meaning this spell would've been created at a time when dragons were considered just as dangerous sirens, changelings, and even vampires.... And that means this spell must be very, very old... far older than I'd considered. No wonder we couldn't find anything; spells this ancient would only be found amongst the oldest and rarest of records. How did I not see this sooner?!"

Uh-huh, that's nice Spike is still in tears, jerk.


Zecora was fine. Discord isn't that bad, try and find a Star Trek adiobook read by John DeLancing if your that worried about getting his voice right. You might find one on youtube,

The opening line is forgettable, and I don't think we even needed the scene at the picnic, mentioning was enough and it didn't add anything.

Seeing as Dragons and Changlings are recognized species in-universe, why would they register as monsters?

The mane six were introduced adequately enough, and the monster forms are alright. I assume they'll get more monstrous as time goes on.

"Rarity, this is a bad thing, remember?" the alicorn reminded her.

Aside from the cosmetic problems, why? They are in full control of their faculties, their psychical differences are easy to hide and do not drastically effect their lives, and they get super powers. I think they get super powers. I really like super powers.

Twilight still stops comforting Spike when she gets her idea. I do not like that.

Pacing is fine, but you do need a real reason to not write to the Princesses. At least Celestia could simply not know the answer.

"Rarity, this is a bad thing, remember?" the alicorn reminded her.

Generally, people/ponies view turning into a vampire as something not good.

you do need a real reason to not write to the Princesses.

They're going to see them instead. Yes, they could write to her, but I feel this is something to be better explained in person, with what I have planned. There's too much conversation which would mean a lot of back and forth letters. In person conversation seems easier to write, at least to me.

When are you going to make a next chapter yet?

7643625 Still planning out chapter 3. It'll be out sometime this month, hopefully in time for Nightmare Night.

7578742 probably because ponies stepmother meant to turn into them? A wolf is not a monster but something that turns into one is... IDK.

You know, I often try to give fair and impartial reviews to show that I appecate someone. In hindsight, that may have backfired.

I apologize if I have come across as harsh.

Maybe Fluttershy could have turned into a Draconicus because that would be cooler than the invisible man you know because she's still alive then Discord would be totally ok with them changing.

8083636 Fluttershy is still alive, none of them have transformed completely (that will be more explained in chapter 3) and i don't consider a Draconequus a monster. Also no one knew about Discord at the time of the spell's creation.

8085297 Still there are a lot of other monster like a Cockatrice or a Umbrum or Cerberus or a Robot!
Hehehe..... the robots will destroy us all!:pinkiecrazy:

Also if this spell was made before the rise of Discord what if Fluttershy is actually turning into a windigo!
(probably not but still that would be interesting)
Also Rarity is going to feed off negative emotions but Pinkie is going to feed off of positive emotions yes there is no way this could go wrong at all......

Protip for writing Zecora: http://www.writerhymes.com

Edit: And I just noticed this story had both chapters last year and nothing since. :fluttercry:

i know, but the story is not dead! See my latest blog post for a sneak peek of the next chapter.

8905786 i'm not sure what exactly you mean by "not be surprised", but it is not "dead". i'm aware of how long it's been since the last chapter, but i haven't forgotten this. i have a lot of trouble with writing. But the next chapter is coming along.

Heart skipped a beat there when I saw it hadn't updated since 2016 but glad this story isn't dead and it's quite well done

9083481 Thank you very much! And i know, i'm terrible with updates.:facehoof:

9260435 No, just being slowly written by a sick, lazy person who had no business starting a multi chapter story... But i will not cancel it, i promise. i'm really sorry to all you guys for keeping you waiting this long. :fluttercry:

9553218 i usually like to add a few jokes to anything, but comedy isn't the main point of this story.
