Most of the Cupcakes fan art isn't technically accurate. Most of it's just Pinkamina holding a knife. |

There seriously needs to be more fan art of It's Dangerous Business, Going Out Your Door. |

I don't get it either! Cupcakes is nothing but some super-nasty horror fic, isn't it? How's it appealing? Seriously, how?! Why is a fic like that generating so much more fanart than other fics?! How does a fic like that... INSPIRE this much recognition...?!
PS: did a search on Story of the Blanks. Currently at 5 pages. |

There should be more of Severing/Reconnection. I still think Reconnection is the best fanfic out there. |

A few months after Cupcakes was made, Pinkie's darker side was seen in the show itself, and was even given a specific look to go along with it.
Cupcakes was made sometime in late January or early February, meaning about three months before Party of One. About 3 pages of Cupcakes images showed up in that time. In the four months between Party of One and now, about 34 pages of Cupcakes images showed up. So it became super popular because canon material unintentionally gave it a boost. |

Warning: Long winded opinions ahoy!
1.People tend to DRASTICALLY overreact to Cupcakes. I've read (and listened) to much more brutal fanfics (Agony in Pink and anything read by Bennet the Sage come to mind). Compared to some of the shit I've seen Cupcakes is pretty well written and tame by comparison. Ohhh, guts. Ohhh blood. Oh my god TORTURE. The fact that Sprinkles managed to keep Pinkie in character (As in character as she could be) throughout the entire thing is what makes the story good. It's creepy, but in that old slasher movie kind of way. 2.I'm not going to comment on Past Sins yet, since I'm actually just starting to read that one myself. But needless to say the reaction to THAT is actually worse than the reaction to Cupcakes. With Cupcakes we got some neat fanart, the Pinkamina Tumblr, and a sequel on dA. With Past Sins we've got a civil war going on between retards who worship Nyx as the best OC ever and retards who use her as an excuse to hate OCs as a whole. And snarky pricks like me who stay up 'till 3 in the morning to make long winded comments on how crazy everyone else is acting. 3.Story of the Blanks was just awesome, so I won't yammer on about it here. 4.Never read Fallout Equestria, mostly because I never played any of the Fallout games. tl;dr Stop bitching about Cupcakes, if you were traumatized by it then it's your own damn fault for reading it. Grow some gems and move on. Stop using Nyx as an excuse to hate on OCs. Not every OC is the pony version of Cynder from the Spyro fandom. Story of the Blanks is awesome and you should feel awesome when you play it. That's about it. =3c |

It's not so much that Cupcakes has FANS, per se. It's that no one else can make "crazy Pinkie Pie" in any other way.
Cupcakes codified the "crazy Pinkie Pie," and Party of One gave it its own separate face. Cupcakes is now SYNONYMOUS with "crazy Pinkie Pie." It's a part of the culture. No other writer or artist can pull it off without being compared to Cupcakes, so most people embrace it. Cupcakes has transcended mere fanfiction and has become an icon. That's what you're dealing with here. /analysis |

I wonder how much is down to misappropriated tags?
I'm a bit sad that Progress doesn't do so well. Or Secret Tub Fun. |
| MagicMarker #392073 11 months ago |
Actually, I find it really odd that 'Slendermane' (No not the crossover meme, there's an actual multi-chapter fanfic with the same name) doesn't get as much fanart. Anyone else here know what a Scari Berry is? No? Go to Equestria Daily and read THAT fanfic instead of whining about Past Sins or Cupcakes. You'll either hate or thank me later. =3c |

I am pretty sure Sabotage Valkyre will do great in a near future (even though they are not actual ponies).
It just started yesterday, give it some time. |

The Pony Psychology series doesn't get much fanarts. That makes me a saaaaad panda. |
| WizardWannabe #392326 11 months ago |
@Heartmend: Damn right! But that kind of fanart is bit more difficult, considering the tolkienesque nature of the fic. I've always wanted to do fanart for Falalauria and the ponies, as well as their encounter with the World Snake. No idea how to go about it though. |
| TacoDash #392758 11 months ago |
Guys, Spiderses should be up here. Now that thing needs some fanart. It GODLIKE. |

23 + 8 + 8 = 39
I don't think "combined" means what you think it means. |

Fun fact: I thought Cupcakes was some terrible porn shipping fic and avoided art tagged with it at first. |
| Muffinoffun #393021 11 months ago |
Cupcakes is one of my favorite MLP fanfics. I don't know why people get so offended by it. I mean it's sort of like the later Nightmare on Elm Street movies. There's blood, guts, and murder sure but it's done such a goofy, ridiculous, jokey way that you can't take it seriously and you can't help but laugh.
If you really want some of the worst gore fanfiction go read "Agony in Pink". It's like Cupcakes except played completely straight and 100% serious. It's also like 10x as long. |

I'll take 15 more Cupcakes sequels over Past Sins any day, thank you.
Can't comment on Fallout Equestria because I haven't read it... still need to play the games... |

@Muffinoffun
Oh wow, something I actually agree with you about. <:3c I honestly found myself squirming a bit when reading Agony in Pink. Agony in RED on the other hand I found absolutely HILARIOUS. Four words: CACTUS UP THE ASS. |
