The Burned Letter On Twilight Sparkle's Desk
If you're reading this, then I am already gone. Whether I'm dead or just gone doesn't matter. All that matters is that you don't repeat my mistakes. I knew it was going to get worse; I just didn't know it would be so soon.
Spike, I'm so sorry that this has happened. Stay with my friends, they'll take care of you. I love you, don't ever forget that. You were like a son to me; thank you for everything you have brought into my life.
To my friends: Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rarity; I know that this is sudden, and I know how much this must hurt, but please remember it's better this way. You were the greatest friends anypony could ever wish for. We had so many good times, and that's what I want you all to remember. I know I seemed distant these past few weeks, but it's over now. I can't remember when it started, it's been there since I can recall. It's always been there. Watching me. Waiting, and hunting. I'm sorry I can't explain, but I don't have much time. Even as I write this I can feel it watching me. It's behind me, I know it is. When this is over; do not pursue me, do not look for me. I don't want you all to be dragged into this.
Princess Celestia; I know I should have told you about this, but I didn't want to endanger you. I thought that the Elements would stop it when we used them, but they didn't. I remember it there with Luna. Watching from the distance. I remember it there with Discord. Blending in with the chaos. It was there after too; at the ceremony. It stood next to Luna. I remember it at the wedding; next to Chrysalis as she paced the pews.
You're lucky. You've been here over a thousand years, and you somehow haven't seen it. Haven't heard it and haven't felt it. It's so cold. It's what corrupted Chrysalis and it's what changed Luna. Princess, you helped me move past it for a while. For two years I lived without fear. It would make it's appearance known now and then, but it never took me again.
These have been the happiest two years of my life, and it's all thanks to you all.
To my mom and dad, I'm sorry. I love you both so much. You both helped make me what I am now. This isn't your fault. You did nothing wrong. This was all my own fault. I would say to burn a certain book, but truth is, I wouldn't. I don't trust you two, or anypony else not to read it. Pony curiosity is what brought me into this. I took the book far away, someplace where nopony would find it. It can't be destroyed, it can only be moved.
To my Brother, Shining Armor, I love you. So, so, so, so much. You stood beside me when I acted bad. You always stood up for me when other fillies picked on me. You tried to comfort me when I had a particularly bad encounter. I know you never truly understood what was wrong with me, and I made sure you never did. But you knew, you knew that something was wrong; something truly, horribly wrong. Don't blame yourself, you did all you could, all I would let you do. I love you BBBFF.
To Cadence, you always knew. You always knew that I was something special, even when I was a filly. Even when I would lock myself in my room for hours on end. Throughout my life, you have been there for me. You were somepony to lean on. To go to when it all got bad. I know I must have seemed a little crazy to you, and to be honest, I felt a little crazy myself. You were always the nicest foalsitter, and the days you came, my life brightened. It went away while you were there. You weren't just the highlight of my weeks, or just my foalsitter. You were my protector. You kept it at bay.
There were times when I was a filly, I would go on sprees where I wouldn't talk for days. I wouldn't eat. I couldn't sleep some nights. Insomnia and paranoia would tear at me. It was getting to the point where I was contemplating, just, ending it all. But Shining Armor, mom, dad, Cadence, and Princess, you were all there for me. You all thought that I was getting better. Really, I was just adjusting. I learned to live under it's constant glare. I learned to live with the nausea, the insomnia, the headaches. You all brought me back from the brink. You helped me live with it by giving me light in the dark.
You all gave me the happiest two years of my entire life. I know this is an abrupt end, but do not mourn. Thank you all, I love you.

Please, this next part is for Luna. Please don't read it. Send this to Princess Luna. You all don't deserve this to happen to you. Don't read it.
Luna. If what I'm assuming is right, then you have been under the constant watch of a being. It's tall. It's slender with a black suit. It has no face. I have searched every book I could find, hoping maybe to find something on it. The most common thing I found that resembled it was a human, but they don't have the same powers as it. There is however, a myth. Not a pony myth, but a human myth. The myth of Slender Man.
It's a monster. A godlike monster. It stalked humans, hunting them throughout their lives, then, it would take them. Their bodies were never found. Since it's a human myth, this means that humans must have been in Equestria once, long ago. Slender Man may or may not be responsible for their disappearance.
Luna, I know what it does. It follows you. Sometimes you wake up in another room, and you don't know how you got there. You have insomnia, and paranoia. If it is after you, remember, follow your friends. Let them help you. Don' make the same mistakes I did. I know that it can do things, but if you keep your head straight, and stay sane, you should be alright.
I don't want to lie to you, it will get you eventually. I don't know how, why, or for how long it has been following you, but it will catch you. I can feel it's presence getting stronger, I don't have much time now. The book, the book that brought it to me, it's in the Everfree, in the old castle behind a pillar. The pillar has a marking, a circle with and X through it. Find it, destroy it.
And Luna, I'm sorry. Since I'm gone, it's going to get worse. Find the book, it will tell you how to kill it then, burn the book. Don't let it live. You have to. It's the only way.
I guess it's time now. Goodbye Luna, and good luck.

I like the story, I'm somewhat sad we don't get to see Luna going out to do what Twilight instructed though. Good fic
1070645 Thanks man! Yeah, this sort of just popped into my head, and I was like, "Meh, why not?"
That was pretty damn cool. Not too sure about Twilight saying she was a deliquent but otherwise, this is one of the best slenderfics on this site. Probably because it doesn't insist on using its POV and retains a lot of ambiguity as to how much its stalking her.
Basically, this was good.
Not bad for a short story. I've always enjoyed the Slender Man myth and this was a good take on it. I do, however, feel that perhaps Twilight Sparkle wouldn't have gone out this way... but either way, I give it a thumbs up for good writing and for using Slender Man. :P
1070670 Well, in her mind she was a deliquent, but really she was just being a kid. Or, a kid with a fucked up secret.
I'm writing a similar one shot based off of the $20 Dollar Mode
Glad to see a second Slender story pop up
1070685 Thanks! Good luck with your story!
Awesome story man.
1070819 Thanks!
1070680 Thank you! And yeah, I didn't feel like there were enough good Slender Man fics.
Reminded me of Notes On a Husked Man, a found burnt note, creepy imagery. Jesus.
1070929 That was the goal!
1070933
To be like Notes On a Husked Man? "I heard the screams were quite extraordinary." "NO, NO NOT MY WIFE! YES, YES, TEETH AND STRIFE!"
1070947 I haven't read it, but the goal of the story was for it to have creepy imagery without going into depth.
Can somebody give me a quick sum up of slender man? All I know is he's Mr. Fantastic in a suit, he follows people, and everything described in the story minus the book....
1071024 The book part I just created, as for Slendy, go to youtube, and look up these three people: Marble Hornets, Tribe Twelve, and Everymanhybrid. Everymanhybrid's videos are hard to keep track of, so go to the wiki to find out what order they go in. Have fun being scared!
1070955
It seems like no one knows about the Tide World... Basically imagine a world-wide war being fought with ecosystems...
1071037 thank you for the heads up.
1071071 No problem!
1071070 That sounds pretty badass. Although I'm pretty sure any water based ecosystem would win.
I hate hate sad fics. I just get too many feels and start balling my eyes out.
But for a short story, this is pretty decent. It tied in with the show, expanded on its own mythology, and gave room for readers to wonder. I liked it.
1070917
No Problem. Now if you'll excuse me *grabs shotgun* I have a pillar to find.
1071094 That's my intentions when I write dark fics. I LOVE the feeling of mystery and grim vistas. I hate those pointless bloodshed stories, mine are strictly psychological, or at least leave room for hope. I'm glad you like it, you're not the first person who doesn't like dark stories to like mine. They're pretty light as far as grim dark go.
1071114 Have you seen Tribe Twelve's videos? He shoots Slendy with a 9mm. On Everymanhybrid, they run it down with a car, and Even tries to beat it with a baseball bat. If you haven't seen their videos you definetly should, they're far more badass than Marble Hornet's videos though all three of them are epic.

Well actually stuff within the ecosystems fight, Tant being the good critters and Shaen'Loke being the evil. Like Loke rats are basically supposed to be great viral and bacterial vectors, spreading diseases among humans. Tant, like Hustin (Imagine a wolf with bright red eyes) basically kill Loke and do other stuff as part of their biology. For example, a Loke tick infects humans with a disease. A Tant flower metabolizes a cure, and then a Tant bee goes to the flower and picks up the pollen with the antitoxin in it. The bee then stings people, curing them of the disease. As for the ocean, there is terrible stuff in the ocean. Shark Loke, Octopus Loke, Squid Loke, Deep Terrors (seven eyes on each side, looks like a sea slug and a kraken had babies) and Snakes (There is a more direct translation but I don't have it right now but they basically get impregnated by other species of Shaen, and then they wharf themselves on a beach to deposit the basic army of monsters.) You also got Metal Weavers, superhuman warriors with incredible powers, Shaen called Mron which are basically lizardmen with or without wings. Also terrible punishments like Contemplation (First and still used as a way to prevent certain Shaen'Woa, Shaen parasites, from reproducing to new host. Then it became a severe punishment. Imagine having your eyes, teeth, and limbs cut off. And being kept alive. That is Contemplation.)
1071136
Oh. Well *puts away shotgun* there goes my night. And I really wanted to shoot something.

Husked Man's Image for the cover. You may shit bricks.
1071187 Damnit, I knew nature was out to get us. Mother Nature's a skank. You could almost say that Husk Man,
Is but the husk of a man.
1071201
Until you give it Shadow Blossom, it's basically sort of like a living zombie... only wants to eat live prey, stupid as hell and angry at almost everything. After Shadow Blossom, holy crap run. You can slay him if you touch him with metal touching something with a soul, and he'll barbecue.
So if you smack him with a metal rod, he'll burn? That's like holy water. Holy water in the form of metal justice.
1071201
Also, the Tant and the Shaen were created by powerful near godlike beings just to fight each other. Other Loke:
-Beetles with human skull-looking markings on their backs that scream like women when they die
-Carnivorous trees that ensnare their prey with great bloody fibrous tentacles.
-Vampires that spread disease and rape people.
-Pipers, things that eat filth and basically expel clouds of poisonous/disease causing gas through hollow bone spike on their backs.
-Shaen'Woa who turn their human host into a running machine that needs so much oxygen that when it assumes control it breaks the host's jaw and rips off its nose to allow more oxygen into the lungs.
1070682 Makes sense. I suppose being stalked by a creature beyond the understanding of a unicorn does some weird stuff to a foal.
1071227
You'll burn too, the Husked guy's wife has her ring fused to her finger when she strikes him as he attacks her.
1071260 Damn, that all sounds really awsome. Where can I find this?
Good job bro
1071269
Unfortunately the guy who writes this stuff, BC Woods, his site is currently down so I have nothing to show you, unless I can dreg up my Shaen Appendix.
1071269
I'm also debating writing a ponified version of Husked Man.
I knew someone would eventually make a fic with slender man mythos
~The Doctor
1071289 Thank you!
1071303 I'm not the first one by far! Mine is just the first one not to use a narrative style.
1071300 I think if you do, it should wait until the site is back up so you can post a link to it. The storyline behind it sounds like it would be confusing without just explaining everything in the story.
i personally wouldve said u were like little brother to me instead of son but all an all pretty gud
1071336 Well, the way I see it, Twilight raised him from birth, so while it sounds a bit wierd, it makes sense. I'm glad you liked it by the way!
1071333
And it 'twas done well.
1071303
Slendermane, Slendermane, all the foals tried to run
Slendermane, Slendermane, to him it's part of the fun!
Slendermane, Slendermane, dressed in darkest suit and tie
Slendermane, Slendermane, YOU MOST CERTAINLY WILL DIE!
(Creepy childish laughter that makes your scalp prickle)
Feels almost Lovecraftian.
1071367 Sweet, thank you! I love that man's atmosphere. Him and Poe are horror gods.
1071367 Sweet, thank you! I love that man's atmosphere. Him and Poe are horror gods.
1071364 You know what, I didn't need that sleep anyway! Sure I got work tommorow, but fuck it. Light is staying on!
1071388
I have twice fallen asleep with that song playing and coyotes eerily howling outside my house... I must be like some kind of demigod.
Sequel. Now.
Make a sequel now, before you make Fluttershy cry.
You're too late.
You made Fluttershy cry.
And in 10 days... Slenderman will come for you...
Unless a sequel is released.
He...I...Will be watching you.
Luna's adventure of insanity and paranoia. MAKE IT NOW
1071431, 1071421 I just might.
1071442\
And I literally meant I was going to watch you.
But my computer is being a jackflank right now so that won't happen.
