I'd say the suicide pact alone justifies a Dark tag.

And that's why I placed the tag there at the beginning. But does it justify the "Sad" Tag? Also The latest chapter I've written has one of the characters bleed, but i only written a few sentences showing that. Should I add the Gore tag as well?

It'd be gore if there was a significant injury. If it's something like a nosebleed or a common everyday injury, then I say gore doesn't belong.

But as for sad? I think it'd be sad if there was permanent death the characters only recover from at the end.

Good cause I already removed the sad tag. But what if the pony in question was impaled by scythe-like ice blades(and Ice shards)?

I only remember like 2 or 3 people having Pinkamina avatars.

IIRC there were 4 at the peak.

If you go to the length of describing the traumatic injury, then it's gore, IMO.

Like: "Blood cascaded from the wound, forming a large puddle on the floor below. Alice looked down. The wound was rough. Jagged. Most likely fatal unless treated." to give an example.

@Steven I'll just give the sentences and see if they are enough for a gore tag:

Over Cast felt agonizing pain as she saw the blue and white shards turn purple and eventually red from her blood.

“Damn...you!” Over Cast said. Blood poured out of her wound as quickly as rainfall, her flame extinguished.

It was Over Cast, halfway frozen and bleeding. She was dead. Gale Force wept for his fallen comrade and glared at the sky.

Pretty much.

I write Cosmic Bullshit.

If it went into more detail concerning the wound, Over Cast's death, etc.

So no gore tag yet then.

Yeah I wrote a few fics (The quality of some seems subpar in hindsight)

If you guys can, then surely I can write something else as well.

I just haven't gotten any kind of writing style down.

Kegisak and CDRW have both written stories. Don't remember if they got on EQD or not. I'm honestly still kinda surprised that I made it on.

I'm still irked that my story didn't make it for "not having enough conflict"...

I tried to write one two years ago but I never got past the first paragraph.

#369992 Crowfall Sat, 25th May '13 8:33:59 PM

Does Dark Souls even have enough plot to build fics around?

Is Pinkamina really that common these days? I don't see nearly as much dark Pinkie stuff as I used to, but that might just be because I got sick of it and started ignoring it.

@Bluespade Because I got the ideas from the prospct of Deconstructing Ponyville Confidential. And because I had several Plot Bunnies regarding that idea that I wanted to see where it would go even if the Premise is Not A Deconstruction. (I also wrote an actual Deconstruction Fic but I think I failed with the Deconstruction part on that too.)

Also I wanted to use it for some expanding on some of Equestria's monsters.

I'm still in the ideas stage of my stories.

Give me about 5 years and I may have a paragraph done.

#369995 darkabomination Sat, 25th May '13 8:38:52 PM from deep within the Time Vortex

Because I do want to write a good story. Even if nopony will ever read it, just to prove to myself that I can. I just have so much trouble taking the plunge if it makes any sense.

#369996 Irish Zombie Sat, 25th May '13 8:39:19 PM from Texas

I wrote one that got on EQD once upon a time, though looking back, I'm not at all happy with it. I'm currently writing another one, but who knows when I'll get around to actually writing the rest of this chapter.

I have no hat and I must scream.

#369997 Morning Star 1337 Sat, 25th May '13 8:43:57 PM from the Pacific Timezone

BTW since we're now talking about fanfic. I need some Ideas based on the following scenarios which is in no way connected to my fanfic in any way, shape or form.:

The Mane 6 are looking for a rare subspecies of cockatrice and they must find it in 4 and a half days. Any ideas on how they may try to catch/find this cockatrice.
Since Diamond Tiara became queen of the windigos How would she use this power?

#369998 crowlover Sat, 25th May '13 8:45:23 PM from Name & Address Withheld

Pannic and Perpetual Lurker have written some as well.

I had something that was based on the Powerpuff Girls Episode Speed Demon, but I never finished it and it wasn't very good.

(I should really get back to reading A Delicate Balance, sometime, though.)

#369999 Japanese Teeth Sat, 25th May '13 8:47:00 PM from Meinong's jungle

Yes. Yes you should.

My main fic is just shy of 150K words, and still going. I'm honestly kind of surprised that I managed to get that much material out of it. It'll probably be over 200K by the time I'm done.

Also, advice for those who want to write: getting started is almost always the hardest part. Once you have the basic thing established the rest often flows easier.

I have a couple of other ideas I'm working on:

Rarity gets sick of RD and Pinkie's pranks and tries to get revenge. She ends up accidentally dosing Pinkie with Love Poison
A series of scenes about Twilight's father, starting with his marriage and going up to the Twilight's coronation.
