I am the Storm Scribe. Let my words thunder across all creation! Let my imagination rain down and bring life to new worlds and adventures. Above all else, may you enjoy what meager gifts I bring...
A reboot of Waking Nightmares, taking the story in a different direction.
Celestia has been suffering from nightmares and her sister Luna cannot seem to stop them. Alongside this, the dreaded Queen Chrysalis has been caught and is finally standing trial, several world leaders attending to help decide her fate. On top of all this, nine ponies and a dragon have appeared, claiming to have been transformed and sent to Equestria by an insane wizard.
What else can go wrong?

I'm already enjoying this as much as the original!
is p gud
not going to bother comparing it to the original tho
theyre too different anyways
*bigge shrugge*
I'll keep reading
I'm sorry if this sounds or looks dickish, but I'd like to help you with your description and don't know how to phrase it any other way.
Current:
Fixed:
It's obviously not 100% and needs rephrasing, but it's the best I can do :)
So... it has begun...
To be honest, it's better written than the beginning of the original, there was all sorts of "WTF is going on" feeling back then, and not exactly in a good way.
Also, regarding the title, is that, like, a Kingdom Hearts reference, or something else I'm not getting?
It's really nice to see that story as a whole is not dead. Keep going, sounds cool!
8333373
It's cool. Thanks for the fix.
8333777
Happy to help.
Yes! He's back.
Not gonna lie, was expecting Pyro to be the dragon, this seems good too though
My only complaint is that there isn't more of it.
It's not even my birthday!
Though the 1,000 word chapter did kinda upset me. I missed it when it was 8-12k words long. :|
Oh well, I'm looking forward to this, mate~
Oh, Miss Pauling's in this now. Neat, I like her.
different from the original but still has the same fun.
This should be good.
Oh baby here we go
its just gonna get better and better
I will miss the original.
But I will give this a go. :)
I can already tell I'm going to like this. I see that miss Pauling is going to be joining this time around.
This is already starting off better than the first time around. And...Labrynna...
What nation is that, because there is an identically-named land in the Zelda series...
8335014
Minotaur nation.
The Original was good, I'll give that you. It was like I saw my whole childhood/gaming life flashing in a story.
This however, i will give a try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
8335020
The Minotaurs are lucky they never had to deal with Veran...
Anyways, this is a very interesting start, with poor Merasmus being just the first of ol' Slendy's many, many targets/victims.
8335160
Who said it was Slendy?
8335183
......okay, now I'm REALLY intrigued...
Is it a Doctor Who antagonist? Cuz I admit I know next to nothing about what I hear is one of the most popular yet confusing shows ever...
so we got 10 highly trained killers and psychopaths in the magical land of Equestria when one of their worst enemies are standing trial
. anypony else think that od
8335558
Don't forget the Administrator. If Merasmus did to her what he did to them, she's probably somewhere in Equestria too.
8336260
you are right and if I know the administration. she is now in the motion of forging deal whit the big bad
holy Tartarus
YAAAYYY!!!
You're in a fanfic. And I'm EXCITED!
I like how this started up and I can't wait to see how adding Ms. Pauling and the Administrator will effect the story! The only thing I am confused about is why Scout is a changeling. I can understand why you had Spy just be a full changeling this time, but I guess I imagined Scout as either a pegasus or a griffin.
Anyway, I can't wait to see how this turns out. I was a big fan of the original Waking Nightmares and I believe you will give us good things in this rewrite!

Due to the official cannon of the tf2 comics, spy is scouts dad. So it would make sense for him to be like his father.
8342565
Oh, okay. That makes much more sense. I never read the comics, so that flew completely over my head. Thanks for the information!
8342958
No problem! The comics are pretty good in my opinion.
As an avid reader of the previous version, I have my full confidence in you.
YES, IT'S HERE! I haven't read it but I know it will be great!
EDIT: I see, so this is at least 2 years after season 7, maybe? Unlike the original where at first it took place during season 2 until you retconed it to be after season 3(which was clever, BTW). Now Miss Pauling is here and a Dragon and Scout's now a Changeling like Spy(is it because Scout's dad IS Spy?). The Administrator is dead and Poor Merasmus, I liked it when he was the ally of the RED team(are you still going to use 'RED and BLU are the same people')in the human world against Slenderman and Gray Mann(is this after the comics?). Good chapter, love the changes! A lot of ambassadors and delegates.
8359505
AU with elements of all seasons.
Yes. There's some character development I can do with that.
Administrator's not dead.
Spoilers.
It's before the comics.
8335183
Slenderman/mane is not the villain here anymore?
8365250
I'm not dropping Slendy. I'm just doing something different.
the beginning is short sweet and to the point, cant wate to see spy try to woo twilight and fail epicly (at least I think he is going to do that) and miss pauling meet spike (that will be fun)
Okay... Considering the fact that this one has completely dropped the Comedy tag, and swapped out the Dark tag for Horror... I gotta ask. Does that mean this one is, on a whole, going to be much darker and more serious than the old one? And with less comedy to offset it?
8380871
As Long as Cheerilee's Garden doesn't ACTUALLY happen in this rewrite, I'm happy. It was narrowly avoided in the original, which is about the only reason I kept reading.
Right, New type Changeling then.
Spy's freaking great.
Crepe Suzette. Unless that was a pun. In which case, never mind.
This amuses me.
Equestria, technically but I believe it was called Ponyland in G1.
Not sure if you've noticed Medic, but Pyro's bodysuit is very androgynous.
You're serious?
Pyro is still one of my favorite characters. She's just as insane as the others, if not moreso in her own way, but she does like the others, and she's cute.
You're just further proving his point.
Your maturity is commendable.
Smart man. Pony.
Really Solly? Puns are meant to be my thing.
Princess actually.
Easy to forget that as funny as the mercs are, they're all cold blooded killers.
He makes a good point.
He's an idiot?
Muffins are great.
Kinda, but with a lot more people getting filled with bullets, blown up, burned to death, beaten to death, stabbed, etc.
I doubt that.
Oh how I've missed this.
Well, Medic is usually quite happy. If, completely insane.
Probably.
Love does that.
Engie: Element Of Making A Good Point.
And said God of Chaos once drove the world, or at least the town, completely insane.
Essentially a physical representation of your special talent.
This is great. This is so much better than the OG Waking Nightmares.
Yeah, but he's fiercely loyal and he's deadly with a rocket launcher and or shovel.
Scout may be young but he isn't dumb.
Fantastic, now it's a regenerating wolf who's on fire.
OK, that is a big pony.
Ooh, Barricade! I remember you! Also, they were caught, tied up and blown up by a bomb that was supposed to send them to Hell by a psycho wizard with voices in his head.
Nice reference to the invasion update- and who knows, without Solder there first contact mightn’t even be peaceful.
Hey, Barricade made into the rewrite! Loving everything so far.
8381265
Barricade's one of my favorite OCs. I wouldn't leave her out.
Liking the update so far, and despite losing the comedy tag there is still PLENTY of humor to be found.
I assume this time you'll be picking a baseline point in the show timeline and working from there rather than having new events in the show show up as hidden secrets from the past? Obviously we're somewhere in season 7 at a minimum. I would suggest having any new in-show events either play out in the background of the story or ignore them if they would derail the story entirely.
Remember, your story need not incorporate EVERYTHING new; especially if it causes more headaches than ignoring it because it doesn't fit. Your story need only be an approximation of the world at the time of first publishing, and need not keep pace with every change and development.
8381287
That's what I'm going for. I just want to the story to be a bit cleaner than it was.
8381267
Really enjoying the revamped story so far.
I really like that Twilight finally has a guard, I can picture a scene where someone remarks that after the third time some villain walked right in and endangered Equestria by either doing something to Twilight or the table, it was decided that guards where necessary......also a lock on the door.
Well, considering Luna literally just said an outside force was blocking her, Celestia...
Is this a less serious version of the story?
Was that a Wolfenstein reference?
8382027
No. I am trying to avoid too many references this time.
