The Grimmest Grimdark


Rather Tired

Recommended Posts

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."

Everyone who writes a grimdark fanfic sucks.

Except for me. GO READ IT :P

 

Eh, but really. I haven't found a fanfic that truly disturbed me. They all seem to be for shock value and petty scares.

inb4 cupcakes. I stay away from those honestly, but I hear that the Sweetapple massacre is pretty 'good'

 

You stay away from that eyesore.

 

It isn't good at all.

 

It's just shit. A big steamy pile of horribly written shit.

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.

The Cough (that's the name xD)

 

But I think "The Fart" the comedic parody was better :3

Just found and read it. I really want more of that, until only paranoid Twilight remains...

Never liked the Idea of anyone in the Mane6 killing one another I'm sure its great its just that things like that just aren't my forte.

Fair enough, I love my ponies being soft and cuddly just as much as I love them brutally murdering each other xD

LOL I guess I can see why people would like to see a more violent side of characters.

It's Just not for me though

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
