Yeah, it starts right with the ugh parts.

Lol, yup that's a reasonable reaction. I felt that way pretty much throughout the entire story. If you continue it, I'd suggest spacing out the chapters with something Lighter and Fluffier in between.

If reading something makes you feel physically nauseous (it ain't just what happens, it's the whole mentality) why would you continue?

Wait a fucking second! CDRW, you were the one who kept insisting that it WASN'T grimdark!!

oh, cut the shit!

Because in the end, it was worth it

Because the story is just that good. As an audience member, it's incredibly exciting and gripping, and as a wannabe writer I can only marvel at the thoroughness with which the underlying premise of the story is proven.

Edit: Was I? I don't remember. Either way, I think it's not really grimdark because the basic story premise is an uplifting and hopeful one.

Then stop reading it. It's a good story, but not worth torturing yourself over.

Happy suckentines everyone. Enjoy the suckiness that is romance.

#95436 CDRW Tue, 14th Feb '12 12:40:43 PM

What is this romance stuff you speak of?

#95437 L Mage Tue, 14th Feb '12 12:40:45 PM from The Moon

Personally, I have read bits of Fallout Equestria.

It's not that good. In fact I found it to be overreaching, self indulgent, and generally far to gleefully dark for such a setting.

No! Because everyone keeps banging on about how much of a fucking MASTERPIECE it is!!

If Valentine's/Hearts and Hooves makes you feel depressed, remember, at least you're not me who is over 25 and has never had a girlfriend.

Clock is ticking!

#95440 Mr AHR Tue, 14th Feb '12 12:42:11 PM from ಠ_ಠ

I don't particularly care about relationships.

I just think Valentines Day still sucks. It would be better marketed as a holiday based on platonic love, so I wouldn't have to deal with this crap.

#95441 CDRW Tue, 14th Feb '12 12:42:53 PM

Oh my God ginger. We are faceless internet denizens. You should not be seeking our approval of your personal tastes.

I'll tell you a secret. <.< >.> I don't like Lord of the Rings.

For what is worth ginger, my honest opinion is that FE is....kind of crappy.

I haven't even bothered attempting it. The basic premise doesn't really appeal to me at all, and I don't want grimdark in my ponies.

If it ain't NC 17, I'm probably ain't reading it.

#95445 gingerninja 666 Tue, 14th Feb '12 12:47:10 PM from Aboard The Damocles

But half of me WANTS to keep reading it.

I have like 50 different violently conflicting emotions all racing through my head. (I think that's part of why I feel sick) Part of me wants to drop dead for reading something like this, another part desperately wants things don't get any worse (but they will), another part wants to finish so I an feel like I belong somewhere.

I wanted to read it, but I wanted to finish Fallout 3 first, but now that I'm already out of my fanfiction phase I have no need or desire to read it anymore.

That's an... interesting criteria.

Ginger, it's fanfiction. Anything even vaguely publishable is lauded as being brilliant. Trust me, I still get compliments for Feedback, and that thing was tripe.

It's good for fanfiction. Just because it's as long as a song of fire and ice doesn't mean it's as good. I mean, I'm right there with you. I've read one of the side stories, and it just wasn't that great.

#95448 Mr AHR Tue, 14th Feb '12 12:48:04 PM from ಠ_ಠ

How petty. You already belong here. Half of us haven't read it, nor do we care to. Seriously, where are you getting these conclusions?

His obsession for approval obviously.

It was a joke based on the fact that I really only read porn-fanfiction nowadays.

—sigh— looking for approval on the internet is like looking for freedom of speech in North Korea.
