#mlp fim horror

Hello! I really love your writing and with all the hype going with the mlp infection/zombie I was wondering how do you approach writing horror/gore? I mostly like to write slice of life, romantic, fluffy stories, so whenever I try to write something darker, a zombie apocalypse for example, the violence feels juvenile and the horror falls flat. Your stuff is absolutely terrifying and amazing, so I'm just sitting here wondering how?? I know that's a broad question, but I would appreciate a peek into your thought process for writing horror. Thank you and have a good day!!

Oh my gosh you're so kind!! First off, thank you! I have really enjoyed writing horror for this community for many years now, and it's been sorry cool to see this massive interest during of of nowhere for MLP horror content!

Second, definitely a broad question, but I can offer some broad tips in response:

(1) Work with what scares you. Horror actually comes naturally to most of us, you just have to be willing to explore some of the darker corners of yourself. Consume horror as much as possible and try not to shy away from what scares you. Most importantly, though, understand why you find it scary. This leads to step 2...

(2) Drill down to the core fear. There's a lot of creatures and things that pop up in horror again and again: ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and certainly zombies. But to work with these effectively we have to understand why they scare us. The answer is different for everyone! Let's take zombies as an example: for me, zombies are scary because they are infectious. I find plagues and diseases to be really really scary, even pre-covid lol. For others, it's more about loss of control - becoming a zombie means becoming an animal, or something else inhuman. Dig until you find the why. Then...

(3) Give someone the worst day possible. Picking your protagonist is critical. The monster has to be difficult for them to face! So think about what will play well off your core fear. If you've found zombies as your monster and distilled that to loss of control .. well, Luna would be a great choice! She's all about loss of control. That's super scary and very real for her. If you're going in more of an infectious disease direction, Twilight would make more sense - she would make a very believable germaphobe, yet still be driven to help those around her and find a cure. If you do it right, all you have to do is...

(4) Sit back and let it happen. It helps to have a destination in mind (even if it's as simple as "happy ending" or "real downer"), but if you've set yourself up this way you've got a concept and you're ready to let it rip. Start writing. Be gross. Scare yourself. Look over your shoulder and wonder who might be watching you. If you get stuck, ask yourself this: how could this possibly get any worse? Then do that. With pizzazz.

The details of writing prose that is gooey, gory, and chilling come from reading. You'll start to get a feel for where to linger, where to hold back, where to describe, and what to leave up to your reader's imagination. The hardest part is the balancing act - keep some things obscured. Leave some mystery while making it clear what is scary and why. However, once your audience knows the precise size and shape of what they're dealing with, it becomes a lot less scary! My rule of thumb is that I never want my audience to be able to plan a way around the danger. They should never be able to devise their own means of escape - something should always be left uncertain or shrouded in darkness.

I hope this helps!! If you'd ever like someone to look at what you're working on, I love beta-reading pony horror :) actually, come to think of it, I love beta-reading all horror!

Again, thank you! Your an earned my heart ❤️ I love hearing that my sacred are still scaring!

I had such a blast drawing these, two of my favorite fandoms and I have so many ideas how I would draw these characters, but decided for a more classic cute design ~

I specifically drew Jane with a more g2 face to look like a doll (I love her so much-) Also omg Nina is so fun to draw with her scene hair, bows, piercings n everything aaa ⋆(ㆆᴗㆆ)*✲ﾟ*｡⋆

MLP INFECTION AU

I won't have the time or the motivation to make this full story but I wanted to create my own take on the infection

Rarity has been keeping to herself lately.

Applejack is determined to find out why.

This is a slightly older fic than the one I posted yesterday, but still good!! A rarijack horror/romance at a nice chunky 33k. Enjoy!

Part 2 My Little Almagation (CW: Body Horror)

PART 1 / PART3 (not released yet)

CHARACTERS SHEETS

Rarity got caught up in her work and forgot to pick up Sweetie Belle from school after her walk in the woods with her class. When she discovers an announcement from Celestia herself (?), she's in for a real shock.

Where is her sister? What's become of her classmates and teacher?

Perhaps two old friends have some answers for her.

Upgraded and updated characters sheets coming soon! (Since I was sick, didn't have a lot of time and was discovering Photoshop while doing part 1, I was really unhappy with the art of part 1 so I might redo it, the rest of the comic will have similar designs to part 2! Hope you like it ! )

You can also find the story on my TikTok: @ crystal.fangs

🚨Gore Warning🚨

I’m hoping on board the MLP Infection AU trend. Here is mine!

Starswirl the Bearded accidentally created the virus. Parabite.

He heard and learned of more modern and ancient creatures, finding out about the parasprites. He read of their swarms of damage, seeing as they cause distruction no matter where they go. He wanted to create a symbiotic relationship between ponies and parasprits.

He tested on animals first, then, his first pony.
