Hi! I'm Kylen. Found your wonderful board via the sporking of Cupcakes, via TVTropes. I'm hoping now, thanks to the awsomeness that is Fritz, to one day make an agent, but for now I will converse and lern the ways of the PPC.
A little about me: I'm a member/lurker of the SCP, fancy myself a writter ( of course), and had a simple question: do any of you know of the grim MLP tumblr authors, or do you guys generally ignore that sort of writting? -

I lurk around the SCP myself occasionally! Infact my brother posted something there not too long ago!
In any case, welcome! Have some cookies! -

Welcome to the Madhouse! (In addition to driving people insane HQ is, in fact, itself crazy.)
Here is a selection of things with points, it includes, but is not limited to: A mess of toothpicks, icepicks, lock-picks and guitar picks. -

You have no idea how awesome I feel, hearing that you came here because of my writing. I'm seriously thrilled!
And while I, at least, know quite a bit about the grim Tumblrs (and seriously dislike them, though that's personal taste), their writing style doesn't lend itself well to sporking--especially since they're at least partly visual. -

Each his own, fight for right to say it, et al.
I know MLP isn't that scary or was supposed to be, but I find it fun to have a glimpse at the 'what if's of a continuum -

Welcome to the PPC! Always good to see another brony.
As for the grim MLP tumblr accounts, that's really a matter of opinion.
In my opinion, no. We go after badfic. More to the point, we go after badfic written by authors who clearly either didn't care or didn't do research or use logic or bother to check if they spelled "Hogwarts" correctly. Grimdark does not necessarily equal badfic, even for a show like My Little Pony. I've seen those tumblr accounts, and while they are extremely grimdark, they are not badfic. The art is very well done, and it's pretty clear to me that the authors/artists put time and effort into their creations.
(I'm one of the few who disputed the necessity of sporking Cupcakes; while the sporking was incredibly funny and entertaining and got us our first pony agent, I personally didn't consider its grimdark nature grounds for declaring it a badfic.)
Like I said, this is all a matter of opinion; this is mine, and everyone is free to dispute it or agree with it to their heart's content. -

'Ere, ave this conical hat and a tea biscuit!
The hat is duct tape and tin foil, so it's indestructible, and keeps the conspiracy theorists out!
The tea biscuit has got cheese in! -

And yeah, Joe's sporking of Cupcakes was a lot of fun.

Here, have an egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and hey, it whisks eggs! It's particularly useful for getting rid of author wraiths and those pesky spambots. Use it for good and not (much) evil.
Welcome to the insanity! Enjoy your stay. -

Welcome, then.
Grim MLP tumblr authors? Huh? Well, maybe the bronies around here know.
Anyways, have a cookie.
Oh, and it's "writing". One t.
Another thing: What are your fandoms? -

My bad. Using my buddy's iPad while my laptop is in the shop.
Thanks for the cookie!
The grim ponies are based on what seems to be a reimaging of Cupcakes, based on altered events of 'party of one'. Search for lil miss rarity if you want. I personally find them enjoyable if you like something darker.
My fandoms are Shadowrun, Black Lagoon (Anime), Desden Files, and a shitton more. If I go agent, I'll likely end up a floater.
