Rather Tired 2 July 15, 2012 Share July 15, 2012 Which Grimdark Fanfiction is the best? By best, I mean 1: It was well written 2: It wasn't just gore, it had a sufficient amount of buildup 3: It had a certain plot element 4: It completely repulsed and nauseated you In my opinion, it's "Cheerilee's Garden."

Finesthour 7,287 July 15, 2012 Share July 15, 2012 I swear to fucking Celestia if I see someone say Cupcakes, I am going to flip shit. As for Grimmdarks, I would say they are all shit, honestly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406 July 15, 2012 Share July 15, 2012 Everyone who writes a grimdark fanfic sucks. Except for me. GO READ IT Eh, but really. I haven't found a fanfic that truly disturbed me. They all seem to be for shock value and petty scares. 2 I HAD TO FALL TO LOSE IT ALL BUT IN THE END IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER /WRISTS On 4/28/2013 at 8:13 PM, gooM said: Djenty...man you are crazy, but an awesome sort of crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizz. 1,078 July 15, 2012 Share July 15, 2012 I never understood why people even like those.. Because we do? Lol. I can't recall the name of it, but there was this one where everypony (the mane six) was hiding in a dark room, and someone coughed, and they needed to kill who coughed. Look it up, it was great. http://alt="img-3411728-1-kQpW0ME.png"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPM 288 July 15, 2012 Share July 15, 2012 I don't think there's a way to make me feel nauseus with words only. That being said, I am pretty sure I enjoyed reading Cheerilee's Garden. It's average if you are an elitist, but for me it was the best Grimdark ponyfic I've read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's average if you are an elitist, but for me it was the best Grimdark ponyfic I've read. I only skimmed Cheerilee's Garden. I mostly found it ridiculous because I highly doubt that Cheerilee possesses the knowledge or resources to construct incredibly intricate, Saw-like traps. Plus the massive amount of violence inflicted on colts and fillies just didn't appeal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the massive amount of violence inflicted on colts and fillies just didn't appeal to me. This is likely because you skimmed it. Cheerilee was preparing for quite a bit of time for the ordeals.I dunno, something just appeals to me in it. I might be sadistic (xD at the idea) but you don't see me even trying to hurt anyone in any way. I just somehow find it entertaining how villainous and cruel Cheerilee is in the fic. But hmm, speaking of resources... I dunno, I don't think that deep. She DID have a bit under a year of prep-time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinisterMongoose 104 July 15, 2012 Share July 15, 2012 Trixie's Fun House... Oh you said well written. Well that one was certainly nauseating to me. However, it was actually rather hilarious due to Sweetie Belle being a complete idiot and other just nonsensical things. I would definitely not recommend it though. It was so stupid hehe. As for well-written... I kind of liked Rocket to Insanity. That one had some buildup that I quite enjoyed. Rainbow Factory wasn't that bad of a fic at all and it has a kickass song that it was based on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revandose 39 July 16, 2012 Share July 16, 2012 Nopony has said "Ask Lil' Miss Rarity"? My word, such a great tale, all about Rarity's slow descent into madness, my favorite for sure and the art is pretty dern good! 1 Big, no, MASSIVE UPS to ~Chaotic Discord~ for the undeniably fabulous sig!

KakeiTheWolf 652 July 16, 2012 Share July 16, 2012 I would honestly say no person has made a grimdark that scared me. They don't build suspense, they go for cheap shock tactics, overuse gore, and make shallow characters. My Music: http://kakeithewolf.bandcamp.com/.

My word, such a great tale, all about Rarity's slow descent into madness, my favorite for sure and the art is pretty dern good!I love that one!I also adore the Pinkamena series! It makes me hope my number doesn't get pulled. Anything with just enough gore and a good story is nice in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovebolt 14 January 13, 2013 Share January 13, 2013 As far as well written grimdarks go, The Secret Life of Rarity is probably one of the better, well-written grimdarks. Other than that, most grimdarks just goes for shock value and a quick scare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
