# Sweet Apple Massacre (My Little Pony Fanfiction) Sweet Apple Massacre is a grimdark My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fanfiction posted to Fanfiction.net in June 2011 by user bigmacintosh20111, depicting Big Macintosh torturing and killing the Cutie Mark Crusader fillies. Within months, the brony community was ranking it against the notorious Cupcakes fic for the title of worst MLP:FiM story ever written, and it drew dramatic readings, TVTropes entries, and dedicated fandom polls. ## Origin User bigmacintosh20111 submitted "Sweet Apple Massacre" to Fanfiction.net on June 28, 2011[1]. The narrative depicts Big Macintosh kidnapping the three Cutie Mark Crusader fillies and subjecting them to torture, sexual assault, and disembowelment[4]. Fanfiction.net removed the piece for violating its terms of service, though copies were quickly reposted to other pony-focused archives[4]. On July 1, 2011, a Pony Fiction Archive forum member using the handle De Magics claimed authorship of the fic in a discussion thread about "clopfics," brony slang for sexual My Little Pony fanfiction[2]. That claim was never confirmed against the original Fanfiction.net account. - **Platform:** Fanfiction.net (Pony Fiction Archive and YouTube for viral spread) - **Creator:** bigmacintosh20111 (Fanfiction.net username; forum user De Magics later claimed authorship, unconfirmed) - **Date:** 2011 ## Overview The story depicts the earth pony Big Macintosh abducting and mutilating Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, the three fillies who make up the Cutie Mark Crusaders in MLP:FiM[1]. Its structure and tone drew immediate comparisons to Cupcakes, an earlier grimdark fic in which Pinkie Pie tortures Rainbow Dash, and one review blog argued Sweet Apple Massacre had knocked Cupcakes out of the worst-fic slot within a week of its posting[3]. Its circulation didn't happen through casual sharing but through curated shock reactions. Review blogs picked apart its content[3], TVTropes editors cataloged scenes under trope pages like "High Octane Nightmare Fuel," "Complete Monster," and "Eye Scream"[5], and YouTube dramatic readings gave it a second life outside of text[7]. The fic sits alongside Cupcakes in brony lore as one of the two grimdark stories every fandom veteran had at least heard of, even if most refused to actually read them[4]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Sweet Apple Massacre (My Little Pony Fanfiction)?
