I just read Trixie's Funhouse.

Oh sure, it starts as an innocent, little (obviously) trollfic. So Bad, It's Good, you know?

Then...stuff...happens.

What the hell, Author?!

The twist at the end got a chuckle out of me.

It was called Trixie's Funhouse.

I'm surprised that you were surprised.

Trixie's Funhouse? Okay so without telling me anything, I'm going to try to guess the general idea of what that is about.

This is true, but I only just heard about it recently.

An actual review says, and I quote: "Please write more. Not because of the story, mind you, but because you are a good writer."

What?

Somepony's trolling (hopefully...)

Okay, I have to know: What happens in "Trixe's funhouse"?

#10556 Karl Kadaver Fri, 9th Mar '12 12:38:43 PM from Hunched over at my desk.

I'm glad you asked! :D

Think Sweet Apple Massacre, but with Trixie as the "antagonist."

Really, it's not much different.

Well, the Cutie Mark Crusaders are way less in-character.

The author apparently really doesn't like Sweetie Belle. Not becasue of what happens to her in the story, per se, but the way she's characterized. It was like they took the Sweetabuse meme and took it up to 11.

Aww man, seriously? What is up with all the Torture porn shit in this fandom {Trollfic or not}?

#10558 inane 242 Fri, 9th Mar '12 12:47:57 PM from A B-Movie Bildungsroman

Rainbow Factory was well written, and Cupcakes was something never done before.

Other than that, all those fics are terrible. Hell, Sturgeon's Law, most fics are terrible.

#10559 Eight Star Fri, 9th Mar '12 12:52:22 PM from the Everfree Forest

Yes, for its nature, Rainbow Factory was fairly decent writing.

Sweet Apple Massacre was sick, but poorly written. I recently read Pattycakes 1 & 2, and Grand Ponyville Picnic (don't read that one, ) and the worst... which I really shouldn't have opened... Fluttershy the Necrofillyphile.

I really need one of those flashy things from MIB.

Rainbow Factory, eh? *reads trope page*

It shall be read!

I'm so excited, I'm using Royal Canterlot Voice!

I hate torture porn, and when it is applied to mlp fim?

BLEAH.

#10564 Carciofus Fri, 9th Mar '12 1:16:12 PM from Canterlot

Yeah, me too. I just do not see the point. Blah blah blah, dismemberment, blah blah, and it was very painful, blah blah, nails in uncomfortable places, blah. The problem is not just that it evokes feelings of disgust, it's that it evokes feelings of disgust and boredom.

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.

#10565 Karl Kadaver Fri, 9th Mar '12 1:18:01 PM from Hunched over at my desk.

I read Cupcakes in its entirety. I mostly skim through the torture and dismemeberment stuff now.

After reading Trixie's Funhouse, I was more upset at the character derailment, and the fact that Trixie, at one point, used a phone!

Cupcakes was only shocking because it made use of tropes that hadn't been applied to Fi M yet. Rainbow Factory was kind of creepy but not that great. The rest are crappy Ikea Gorn fics.

Well, the technology level of MLP is all over the place anyway. Didn't Iron Will use a microphone?

@ Carciofus - I didn't see that episode yet. It doesn't exist to me.

I asked the image macro thread for a good "This conversation needs to be changed" macro, and got this.

It works very well.

@L Mage: It's in there now. And yeah, I usually find Gorn to be pretty much execrable. They're almost universally totally pointless.

That's what they want you to think.

I too once thought as you did. But my eyes were opened by the ponies.
