Why?

Exactly.

I understand why people like horror and gore in general but our fandom seems especially obsessed with it sometimes. Maybe it's because it's interesting to see typically sweet and docile characters such as our ponies be seen in a plus darker light. Anyway I thought Sweet pomme Massacre sucked hard but I wasn't surprised because it was created par an anti-brony who get all pissy because a brony beat him at COD ou something like that. cupcakes was alright, nothing special but at least it has a place in our fandom.

toi want to read a REAL grimdark fanfiction? Read "Cheerilees garden". That out of make people shut up about how scary cupcakes it.

Personally I only made two grimdark poney stories, the rest are purely comedy and fluff. I prefer to type fanfic where the ponies I l’amour are HAPPY.

Like toi said, I came into it out of curiosity. And cupcakes has scarred me for life. Yeah, not a fan of grimdark.

I should've listened when people warned me about Cupcakes...

I don't like it. I didn't know it would be that bad... curiosity got the best of me, yes. I understand. I fainted (literally fainted!) while lire Cupcakes.

I agree, StarWarsFan7. Why do people like them? Just wondering.

i actually like the grimdark stories, it took me some time to get used to them at first, some of them sickened me (Sweet pomme Massacre) and some of them were really long and started to bore me (Cheerilee's Garden) but as soon as i read Trixie's Funhouse, it was just "meh" at that point, and my favori is Sweet pomme Massacre.

I don't like grimdark, but a lot of people do. People like horror films and books, and that spills into ponies. I used to think it was absolutely abominable (some of it is), but then I realized that it's just someone's preference. People like scary and gory, and MLP is something so innocent that it's ripe for mutation. I don't approve of that, though. cupcakes got thrown at me, and I freaked out. But later I returned to finish it, and even though I hated it, I found it somehow interesting. While cupcakes was horrific and marred Pinkie's reputation, it wasn't as bad as it gets. If one looks at it as a story separate from FiM, then it doesn't seem so bad. Oh, and this cheered me up after lire Cupcakes: link
Kay I'm done rambling.

Shed.Mov didnt really bother me that much. I think the fact that the voices are so hilarious that it's easy to not take it seriously.

cupcakes I read the whole way through, and I kinda/sorta wish I hadn't. Even though my favori poney liste changes a lot, since i'm so fickle when it comes to that kind of thing, arc en ciel dash was usually up there near #1, so cupcakes really kind of sickened me, but at the same time it helped to hold on to the fact that it's just a fanfiction.

Sweet pomme massacre: I've never read it. I've heard some stuff about it, that it's way worse than cupcakes, but i've never read it. I started lire it once, but I chickened out.

Why do we like grimdark? This is just my opinion, but I believe some of us like grimdark because we like to scare (or sicken) ourselves before going back to the cute, lovable ponies that are My little pony: friendship is magic. I think it helps to hold on to the fact that "It's only a fanfiction" Then again, i've seen the movie version of "Cupcakes" on Youtube before, but I wasnt too bothered par that.

At first I hated cupcakes, but I've grown to like it. arc en ciel Dash is my seconde favori character so it's nothing against her. It is at least respectable for being well written and the characterizations are somewhat believable.

Same with Shed.Mov; I found it creepy at first, but now I l’amour that video.

I absolutely HATE Sweet pomme Massacre after hearing what it's about and I refuse to read it. I think that it is just a festering pile of shit and should be treated as such. Now I don't even like Big Mac that much anymore just because of it. See what stories do to your view on the characters?

The whole "write a gory My Little poney fanfic" thing has turned into some kind of fad where a bunch of people are going to have a pissing match about who can write the most mindless and tasteless gore fic. :|

But I do like gore, that is if it's done right.

If toi want a good gore story, toi need to have three things:
1) The gore of course.
2) The ability to invoke a sense of dread in the reader.
3) Being well-written and compelling to read.


Why the bronies and pegasisters like to read and write this sort of stuff? Who knows, really.

I am not fond of gore. I like slightly creepy ou eerie things, but nothing graphic.
I have never even heard of these stories toi speak of, but I'm glad to have now so that I may avoid them.

cuz its awesome^^

I was close to crying when I read Cupcakes, (because I l’amour Pinkie Pie, and to see her character torn apart like that..) But, listening to "Giggle at the Ghosties" taught me just to laugh at how silly it is.

SHED.mov is indescribably silly. It's just like Llamas with Hats.
HELEMENTS OF ARMORY.

I've read Cheerilee's Garden, but I wasn't affected because, frankly, I don't care for Cheerilee ou the other rugrats. It was basically SAW for ponies.

Sweet pomme Massacre? Yeah, people ARE sick. :/

Honestly, toi should try lire the arc en ciel Factory. It's a decent one. It doesn't, at least, have a sh*tload of gore, violence and sex. It's quite decent. I'm not a fan of gore ou even fan fiction, but the arc en ciel Factory was quite decent.

cupcakes scared the hell out of me. I eventually passed out halfway of lire it. I just don't like seeing any vidéos ou pictures of these gory fanfictions because I have hemophobia.

Out of all of those, I've only seen shed.mov, which was frankly disturbing for a while. That was the first and last time I'll watch that.

Cupcakes, I have never read, and I count myself a lucky pegasister. I heard terrible things about it, and I wasn't that intrigued anyway.

Sweet pomme Massacre just sounds disturbing.

I read it because i'm obsessed with grimmdark ponies such as fanfics, animation, flash game, fanarts, etc. They don't scare me, they don't make me puke, they were my inspirations. Thats why i read it. Furthermore, I will going to make my own grimmdark comic soon.

Cupcakes? Ive read it multiple times , not THAT scary. Its gore galore but not scary. Like someone else said, fanfics can seriously change your view of a character. Today, for instance, I read an invader zim fanfic (dont know what invader zim is? Google it! Lolz), I swear that when i finished it, I saw Dib as a horrible homicidal maniac. I was all like wtf :p. Sweet pomme Massacre? Lame, stupid, crappy, short,idiotic, excuse of a fanfic, crappy (did I say crappy twice?) It was the most stupidest story I have read in all my life (im only 13). Cheerilees garden? Disturbing, terrifying, awesome! Now thats what I call a horror fanfic! Heck, I couldnt get past silver spoon and diamond tiaras death.
But, the action of me laughing,giggling,and sneering while lire Sweet pomme Massacre and Cheerilees Garden makes me question about my sanity... e_o

Exactly I am scared for life and stayed until 5:00 in the Morning being scared and was scared for a week

toi see..

That wait there! That's the difference between toi and me!

I like such morbid things because it's AWESOME!

Shed.Mov was friggin halious, and the violence is a lot to do with WHY!?

And as for Cupcakes...
Lesson..
The thing is its NOT scary. None of those silly creepy pastas are. In fact I like Cupcakes, cause the writer actually gave me a fair amount of inspiration in the ways he described stuff. And THAT's why I like like..

The real question.. Why do people act as if it ruined their life.. Haven't toi ever read my spoof for it. Witch was actually MY WAY of telling people stop taking so damn seriously. IT'S A F***IN STORY! And stop hating on poor Pinkie as well! It will obviously never happen, EVER!

And Sweet pomme Massicure.. Well at least cupcakes was WORTH reading..

Shed.mov and MLP creepy pastas. Their basically Texas Chainsaw Massacre, nothing else.

It's takes plus than over the haut, retour au début torture scenes to be scary. And that all the film and MLP creepy pastas are.. Nothing else.

Gore isn't scary. It's just gore.
Scary is when toi DON'T know what happening, ou Creepy masks smiling at you, ou a ghost,y figure staring at toi from a window..

I could go on and on.. But my point is made...

I don't. I have feelings for arc en ciel Dash, and I don't give a goddamn what anyone thinks about it either. It wasn't curiosity for me, it was the misleading titles.
