Half Awake


Allow myself to introduce... myself.

For Princess Luna, guarding the dreaming minds of Equestria against intruders is no easy task, even on the best of nights. When the Cutie Mark Crusaders get involved, it is definitely not the best of nights.

Many thanks to Sharp Spark for help with editing and all around good advice.

Best story I've ever read that was written by a picturesque valley brook. :moustache:

Why thank you! I think. :twilightblush:

Now I can never change my avatar, or your comment will make no sense.

This was very well done. I look forward to seeing what else you write.

Heya, Partial Sleeper!

This is your first story on the site? Well, then! It's truly excellent, and I am very glad you're here!

I am an avowed Luna fan, and this little tale captured her well. Thank you for crafting and sharing it, and I look forward to more.

Light and laughter,

I reviewed this story!

My review can be found here.

I look forward to seeing more from you in the future.

Thanks for the feedback, all! I appreciate the encouragement.

Thank you for the detailed review. I'll work on my dialogue - I recognize that I have some trouble ensuring that the characters remain distinct through their speech (internal and external). Also, I find it really difficult to know what to spell out and what to leave up to the reader to figure out. Hopefully some practice will iron that out a bit.

This story was tremendous. Crisp, believable dialog, likeable characters true to form, a fascinating story well-written and smoothly resolved, and no tired cliches or easy ways out. I loved it.

There aren't too many writers on this site who I would say this to, but please keep writing. I really, really want to read anything else you put out.

Apple Bloom was staring at her feet and hadn't said much, but this was clearly her dream.

Interesting. I wonder how the CMC picked up dream hopping.

Thanks, I appreciate the compliments! Hopefully I can live up to those expectations.

Thanks for the corrections - both should be fixed (as well as Luna rising to her "feet" in chapter two).

You have the same problem as me: rushed pacing. Try and slow things down a tad from now on. Other than that, nice job.

Cutie Mark Crusaders Dream Hoppers, YAY!

Is the Dreamsnatcher from the comics?

...More.

MOREMOREMOREMOREMOOOOORE! SEEEQUEEEEL!!!!!


...Please? :applecry::scootangel::unsuresweetie:

Sequel, sequel. Awesome story, I could really see Scootaloo mastering this and being a dream warrior being her special talent. Forget flying or becoming a Wonderbolt, nothing can beat being awesome where reality is just a suggestion. That and she can save ponies from monsters here just like Dash does in the real world.
