First dark story, you ever wrote?

[GamerPrincessXI]

I once wrote a story based on a dream, I had. My crush, bff and we're trapped in a video game where we had out run a half chicken half giant spider, who was welding a flaming chainsaw.

Most of my story ideas is dark as hell and most were not really getting out in the wild, but the one I first published online is my SnK fanfic. Basically I killed the pairings off and there's also suicide. If you're somehow feeling like reading it, it still out there in my wattpad (it's dead, honestly), but my grammar is worsen when I wrote them before.

I've developed the plotlines over the years and I've been thinking to scrap the SnK factor and make it in my own made universe.

honestly some of my first fanfics were pretty dark and if i think about it a good chunk of rp's took some quick turns too.

the only fanfics i wrote were either based in or inspired by the sonic universe and even though i never really killed anyone off there was always some kind of aggressive turn. like in a story that was only OCs the maun charaters father is killed by his former beat friend and then theres a lengthy conflict between them as she attempts to enact revenge. i still remember most of the plot surprisingly but only ever wrote out the events leading up to major conflicts that take place in the main story. (i could revisit it but i doubt id find an audience for it)

I honestly don't like explicitly dark stories or story that outright say it is dark for the beginning (sorry for those who write it) and thus never made anything considered dark a bit twisted maybe yes, but not dark.

I remember I was a second grader (7 yo) I tried writing a horror story about an orphan who was sheltered by her grandpa. One day, her grandpa came late and she set off to look for him despite his warning. She was found by a troop of Frankenstein monkey (I don't know WTF I was thinking, it was undead monkey I guess) and they attacked her to eat her alive.
My parents don't like the ending so they write off that the girl was just dreaming, I was unhappy.

Is it just me who don't start to write by fanfic? I feel like a weirdo, everyone is making fanfics

[kittyblueeyes]

Ahh a lot of the stories I plan can get pretty dark. My first story I never actually finished (but really want to revisit) is about a young girl mentally and physically abused by her mother’s boyfriend, but she finds peace and comfort in a little stuffed cat she made for herself. Eventually she begins to believe that her little friend is alive, and was sent to be her guardian angel.. Basically she goes a little nuts.

So happy, very cheerful. I was 13 when I wrote it..... I was all rainbows and sunshine obviously.

[Myst]

Most of the stories I'm working on and plan often take a dark turn and follow through with it. I like to stay away from happy endings I mean, one of the darker stories I have planned is about an Android who eventually also takes an antagonist role (while staying as the protagonist) after a specific point and just goes insane & bloodthirsty. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ I can't wait to get to it, but I need to set up my universe in order first.

My first dark story was the original drafts I had for Living Weapons. I originally planned to kill off most of the characters and I was called cruel for it when I showed my readers what the original ending was supposed to be before I changed it. Someone melts and can't regenerate, two characters slowly pass away brutally and painfully, etc. Some of the deaths are intended for mature audiences.

You're not alone. I didn't start by making fanfics either and I also feel like a weirdo.

A short story based on a unknown diseases ravaging a small town.
Things got so bad that "specialized" physicians were called whenever someone started showing symptoms. The disease was detected by collecting blood in a vile. If positive, the blood in the tube turned black.
A call was made to check in on a sick girl.
If the test came back positive, the infected person had to be dealt with on the spot.
After the deed, the doctor shows signs of it all weighing down on him. He hands the parents a check and a government order to move out of the house as it needs to be quarantined.
That's what I remember. I had it written down, but it seems like I threw away the notebook it was written on.

I haven't started to write by fanfics either. I've written just a couple of fanfics during the whole life, cause I mostly prefer my own settings.

---

My very first "dark story" was about the cockroach: "There was a cockroach. He lived a short live and then died."
I've written it when I was 5 or 6. But I'm not sure if it really counts, cause it is maybe too short to be really called a "story"...

So, now if talking about more full story...
When I was somewhere between 11 and 13, I've started to write some fantasy... I don't remember much of it. But I remember that it was a Urban fantasy / Low fantasy (I haven't known such a terms those times, but now I understand that it was like that). In it our world turned out to be filled with demons from the another dimension.
And I remember for sure that I've started to write it from the ending, and ending was the following: demons have destroyed all humans, besides two lovers, who were the heroes. But eventually they have been discovered and chased by demons, too, and appeared to be surrounded at the bridge over bog. They didn't want to be tortued, so they have dropped from the bridge into the bog. And they have drowned in the arms of each other, kissing each other, and died that way.
The last sentence of this "masterpiece" was: "And the world have plunged into darkness FOREVER".
Then I've started to write the beginning, then something from the middle of the story... I've spent several days or so on it. But eventually, I have never ended it and had got rid of it it before parents have noticed.

[Aetoras]

I've been writing dark stories for as long as I've been writing. My stories tend to be either grimdark or absurdist comedies.

[Merle]

My first story ever was insanely dark if I think back to it.
At 7 or 8 I would illustrate and then write stories about children being brought into factories and then sold, and my first longer written stories (one page haha) was about a boy and his sister in a city that was attacked by monsters, and their parents had left then behind.
x) We had (still have) a house like a libary, books all up and down the walls. I used to just pick up any as soon as I was able to read, so I read a few stories earlier than I should have - and that´s propably why my stories were so dark back then, and why I still love horror and Thrillers so much haha.

Come on, who can really decide what is too early and what is not?
I've sometimes read the books, purposed for adult people, when I was a kid, too.

I think the first dark story I ever wrote was in grade school.

There was this summer camp that had a murderous psychopath for a Warren; but he was taking medication to counteract the urges and perform as a functional human being. Of course, the parents weren't told this and left their kids with this dude.

One older camper steals his pills to take for himself, which results in the Warren giving into his urges and going around murdering people on camp. The story started with a flashback to him as a camper himself, who lured his bunkmate out into the cornfields nearby and killed him. I guess what made it even crazier was that he became the Warren on the same camp he committed his first murder at.

This story was chalked full of cringey stereotypes and harmful assumptions you'd see in your standard slasher flick. I kinda rolled my eyes just typing out this story. Might one day go back and fix it up, but for now, it's in the childhood archive XD

I was in a six grade. On the literature lesson we were reading a story; something about a bad man, and how god punished him. And it kind of stuck in my mind, how crued the story was, so eventually I wrote, what by todays meand would be consudered a fan fiction.
So my story was about a poor man, who had nothing to eat, so he went to his welthy negbour and asked for some bread. But the wealthy man was an asshole and gave him nothing. Another day he (the wealthy man) was climbing a tree, fell off and poked his eye off. And this is how God punished him for being an ashole.
I gave my story to a teacher and received a good mark. Ahh... what a kid I was...

[danitasibert]

well, i still consider myself new at story telling/comic making, but my story Vampire Search is my first dark story I'm making. its to be honest I'm really looking forward to making this story, and I'm a little nervous cause i LOVE things that push the boundaries and take risks. I am really hoping that people will like it and not hate me for it XD

i feel that a dark story has things that most are not comfortable showing/taking about and that can be whatever you want it to be. I'm just goign to focus on making the best story i can make!
my story is still new but I have more to show! ^_^

Vampire Search | Tapas

[mrtoontastic]

Weirdly enough there was this halloween story I did in middle school where two kids find all their friends turning into mutants and zombies, and the perpetrator doing this was an evil witch bent on making every day Halloween forever. And in the end, I don't remember what I gave the fate to the witch. It was either she was eradicated by one of her own spells, or she was thrusted into her cauldron by the duo and was boiled alive in there. One of the two.

The second dark story (yet became the first official in a series), I ever wrote, though....

Sonia: Legends of Eternal Darkness :: The Legend Begins (Prologue) | Tapas

Was this one.

[ForLackOfStars]

The first novel I completed is really dark. I was not in a great place mentally when I was plotting and writing it, and it kind of shows. Every character is pretty clearly dealing with anxiety, depression, or a lot of self-loathing, and there's a lot of drama.

It's weird: My tapas novel is an urban horror story themed around loneliness, but I view it as a way more hopeful and positive story than my first novel, and it's a lot more fun to write. My first novel has a prominent theme of characters struggling to accept their inevitable backslides when trying to improve themselves, and characters dealing with the fear that they will never actually be able to change. In retrospect I think those are really interesting ideas to tackle, but also a little TOO real, in a lot of ways.

I'm editing and expanding on it right now and I honestly find it really interesting to analyze, even though I wrote it. It's like looking at an old, very odd self-portrait.

It was a Bubble Bobble fan comic I made in 4th-5th grade. My OC dino, named Plobus, was friends with Bub and Bob. Then he got mind controlled by the big white shark (that's an enemy in the game) and was working for the shark for a while... until he finally broke free, and sacrificed his own life for his friends

Very important note: Plobus was a bishy dino with beautiful, flowing wavy hair that fell over one eye.

[AngelTovar]

Probably the one I'm writing right now. Funny because I really don't tell dark stories but "The Eagle and The Snake" is "Dark" in the sense it's similar to the movie "Sicario". I'ts actually a lot of fun.

[GesuGesu]

Probably the cringey little story I wrote when I was a teenager about "There is a killer in the school". This was before all the school shootings were a thing, and guns are heavily controlled in my country.
