@story: You don't watch Arthur? Great show. Watched it this afternoon.

How did they ever lock the trope page of Lolita?

Is Fallout simply a fanfic not a comic or anything like that?

#181778 storyyeller Tue, 1st May '12 6:25:11 PM from Appleloosa

I barely watched TV at all as a kid. It's so weird in school how large groups of people will spontaneously start singing the Arthur theme song and have all the lyrics memorized. The only part I can remember is 'I say Hey, what a wonderful kind of day'.

Fallout Equestria is a novel sized fanfic. It has spawned it's own subfandom full of art/comics and other shizz.

Technically, Fallout is a series of video games.

Novel length? How long of a novel we talking here?

I class grimdark as works that 'highly feature death, gore and misery.

Longer than War and Peace

Dang, I'm on chapter 22 and I'm still only 28% of the way done? Just how long are these later chapters?

@condo 600K plus words and a 2k page pdf. It's large enough that the publishing project that I am a part of split it into 5 hard bound volumes.

@condo I thought it was. It's dark, cruel, tragic, violent, but also hopeful, and I love it's mane cast.

It also has an awesome villain

@Condo:Grimdark is something that is excessively grim, to the point of having almost no levity or lightness to it at all, just misery, hate, and despair. Basically, any setting that is a complete and utter horror for everyone who lives in it.

Element of Dullness.

This group is working together to pay for a publishing run It's a damn good deal too.

Wow, that's neat. Are there any copyright issues? Can you get it on your kindle or something?

Ginger, When you said you lost that money you mean you bought a copy. If so brohoof so did I. If not then I am so, so sorry.

There are pdfs and kindle able copies abound. The point of this project is a HARD BOUND COPY. And copyrights are okay since this project is strictly non-profit

#181796 Perpetual Lurker Tue, 1st May '12 6:34:23 PM

I might have more of a desire to read it if it didn't insist on showing all of the terrible things that happened to every single canon pony. I don't want to know the horrible way that they die, or how they ended up destroying themselves, or how they went insane, etc. The fact that it all happened in the past just makes it look like they only serve the purpose of emotionally screwing with the reader.

#181797 Kyler Thatch Tue, 1st May '12 6:34:25 PM from the bottom of my heart

He printed the fic at a greater cost than it takes to order a copy of it. (Mind you, this was before he knew people sold copies of it.)

Am I hurting? Am I sad? Should I stay or should I go?

I've forgotten how to tell. Did I ever even know?

#181798 gingerninja 666 Tue, 1st May '12 6:35:11 PM from Aboard The Damocles

@steve I mean the 300 pounds I spent printing the fucking thing off!!

Holy crap ginger. Did you get those pages bound into books or did you do it looseleaf? (And why on earth did you do that?)
