Halloween story time, oh my! Was browsing around the site, and stumbled upon one of those 'insert human into [villain's name here]'s body and have them do stuff.' For some reason I had been thinking about Halloween / Nightmare Night, and the following came to life. Conceptualized and written in a day.
Ethan frequently experiences the phenomenon commonly referred to as lucid dreaming. He finds himself within said dreams, living out things that one could only think of. On the night before Halloween, he falls asleep to dream of a colorful place, a bright place, one filled with ponies and decorated for a special night. Nightmare Night. He's going to have the time of his life.
Note - Marked Complete, and the sequel explores the concept, not the same character.
Dis da gewd shawt!

I've never ever actually asked for more from authors, but please continue this. This concept is too rich and needs to be explored more.
aw shieeeet. keep writing and do it fast; there is a limit for how long i can hold a ficboner
MOAR! God damnit!
awesome start
Can't wait for more
Man, this is set up perfectly to become a novel. YOU MUST CONTINUE, YOU MUST!
YOU STARTED IT! DONT MAKE ME DO THIS! FINISH IIITTT~
Agh too- ah fuck it enough people have asked already
Moar
please 
Well I like it.
I was gonna say, "I will back-hoof you across the face if you don't continue this," but then I saw pretty much everyone else asking for the same thing so I decided not to.

If it means anything, I have ~2,000 words towards a story along similar lines, set to explore the human dropped in as a villain, that I've spent a little bit of time writing on. It's still in its early stages though.
This needs a sequel.
Very nice story!!
I. WANT. MORE. CHAPTERS!
I kinda had a feeling it wasn't a dream and that Luna would pop up at some point. The Nightmare Moon and Nightmare Twilight terrorize Ponyville stick sounds familiar, though...it was Overcoming the Sun, or something.
Either way, I wanna know what happens next.
Damaged sentence, request repairs.
Soooo, did he wake up? The voice at the end I am guessing was Nightmare Moon's; however, he said the past dreams were actually nightmares. So why is this different and happy?

Nobody ever said it was a dream...*Evil Laugh*
Sorry, couldn't resist, but yeah, nobody ever said it was a dream, and as I recall, even in Nightmares, you cannot feel pain.
This was a very nice read.
Luna killed him?..
4500208 I doubt it. There wouldn't be a sequel piece if she did. Although I am curious why he transformed into Nightmare Moon (gender notwithstanding)? No need for any answers, kind author. I'll assume it's covered in the sequel (which I'm looking forward to.
)

Sequel have another character, not this.
Hehe funny how he went so long without realising, that his dream was not a dream.
And even more funny that no one else(even Twilight) noticed nothing until....
3422587 you look at the pony and it dies... Wait i replied to make a joke well i gues i blew it.
So... he's just unconscious now, right?
I would like to quietly point out that 'alicorn', to anyone who knows their mythology, is the name of the substance that makes up a unicorn horn. Again to a knower of mythology, a winged unicorn is just that, a winged unicorn. They're depicted as representations of evil
which actually might fit Nightmare if you think about it^ Copied from wikipedia. The 'some literature and media' is likely referring to My Little Pony, as it is mentioned in its own paragraph later on.
I loved reading this chapter
And here I thought my idea for a displaced fic was original. Showing up in Equestria on Nightmare Night as Nightmare moon. Ahh well might still be fun to write.
Would like to see more of this story.
More?
Is the sequel about Ethan or someone else?
Never mind...
But I would love to see Ethan's story continue please
me gusto
