[Crossover]
Author: Saddlesoap Opera
Description: It was some time ago, but not too long, you see?The Nightmare After Nightmare Night (New Chapter 3!)
In a place that perhaps you have seen on TV.
For this story spans places far from pedestrian,
Crossing spooky and dark with bright and Equestrian.
Now, you may be asking how that crossing was done.
If you are not, I'd say it's time you begun!

VastaKustutaOh, and Saddlesoap. This promises to be good.
Love the rhymes, shouldn't there be a bit more tags or does Crossover sound enough, meh.

VastaKustutaWhere you at teech, HIDE ME
Trollestia is gonna get me if she finds me
OH MY GOD. This will be read!
VastaKustutaSo far, this is just plain hilarious. Looking forward to more in future.
VastaKustuta@Shadow Heart
VastaKustutaHide on the moon... last place she will look
I haven't read this yet and already I love it!!!
VastaKustutaNightmare Night meets Nightmare Before Christmas? I'm intrigued.
VastaKustutaThe characterizations in Ch1 were very good. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.
@Discord
VastaKustutaBRILLIANT!!!
That's a great plan teech. You may want to go there too, cause she will be steaming mad when she sobers up.
Something tells me she won't banish us to the moon, but somewher hotter.
Pack some SPF 1,000,000 sunscreen and some very good shades.
Yeah, I'm loving this so far :D
VastaKustutaSure gonna follow this!
When reading the description, I read it in Zecora's voice. Also, after reading the last sentence I started to hear "This is Halloween"
VastaKustutaWill add this one to my reading list
A good start, and fun to read! I look forward to seeing more!
VastaKustutaHeh. Yeah, I read this. Just now. More please!
VastaKustutaNICE!!!
VastaKustutaAnd now I have read it and I want more!!
VastaKustutaExcellent... Rarity needed some Nightmare Night love! The first chapter was fun... Looking forward to more.
VastaKustutaI AM THROWING MY PUMPKINS AT THE SCREEN BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING
VastaKustutaIts good, but I have a few minor suggestions/criticisms:
VastaKustutaOne, Rarity needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two, whenever Rarity's not onscreen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Rarity"? Three...
The characters are portrayed incredibly well, and the entire thing's written like it was taken right out of the show. I'm looking forward to the rest of this!
VastaKustutaTim Burton + Ponies?!
VastaKustutaMust read!
*looks at Addtional tags* where's Rarity ??? No they took Rarity.
VastaKustutaCritical hit to my reading eyes!
VastaKustutaAlso, I just realized why saddlesoap sounds so familiar. Pony Psychology!
VastaKustuta@Xeddrief
VastaKustutaPlenty of stuff is happening. You just can't see it because your monitor is broken. Presumably from throwing your pumpkins at it.
@mycutiemarkisagun
VastaKustutalol wut
Oh my god. This story is great. I need more of it, now. Great characterization, too.
VastaKustutaThis is amazing.
VastaKustutawill this be based on the video game?
VastaKustutaOh, yes. Very yes. Very, very yes.
VastaKustutaOh man this is gonna be good. Dare we hope that Lock, Shock, and Barrel get to meet the Cutie Mark Crusaders?
VastaKustutaAh man, it takes place after the movie? So Oogie Boogie won't show up?
VastaKustutaSad face. Looks interesting, though.
This is awesome.
VastaKustutaThis made my day. Seriously. Can't wait to see more.
VastaKustutaYES .
VastaKustutaFinally a new fic that I actually want to read, A FIC THAT'S ACTUALLY LIKE THE GODDAMN SHOW!
THANK YOU SADDLESOAP!
Yay! Thanks for the kind words thusfar, all! :D
VastaKustutaTo answer some of the above comments:
Yes it takes place after the movie, and no, it will not be based on the video game(s), which I am afraid I have not played.
While this story is chaping up to be a frightful romp of comedic proportions, I have to ask: What are the other mystery doors supposed to represent? My guesses are Clifford, for the paw print, but I don't recognize the Blue white shield and guns (Captain America? Modern Warfare? Huh?) or the stern clockwork face (gears of war? No idea.)
VastaKustutaPlease note: This will be awesome. And now I have to dig out the old VHS...
@Crosshair
VastaKustutaThe key clue you are missing is here:
"...their roots reaching toward it like spokes around the hub of a giant wheel..."
@Saddlesoap
VastaKustutaHee hee, I picked up on that. Sooooo... there are dimensional nexuses.. nexusi? Nexusesses?
Whatever.. Nightmare Before Christmas + Pony = The Most Awesome Holiday crossover ever.
Ponies make everything better.
Yay finally it is here!
VastaKustutaI've gotta say, this chapter took me for some loops I really did NOT see coming.
VastaKustutaThe song was very well reworded and made a nice touch, too.
Can't wait for the conclusion!
Okay, this chapter was indeed different. Rarity goes all Nightmare Rarity, Rainbow Dash becomes her loyal Shadowbolt, and the rest of the mane six are getting affected by the magic of Halloweentown?
VastaKustutaAnd I love the musical number!
Wow! Just, wow! Ch2 was even better than Ch1, and that song in the middle was *so awesome*!
VastaKustutaI really liked the plot twist of making the Mane 6 act like their costumed counterparts. Very clever move, and I can honestly say I've got no idea where this is going to go. I eagerly await your next update!
Not just a clever crossover, but you even worked a Firefly quote in there. Well done good sir/madam. Well done indeed.
VastaKustutaWords cannot express how hard I squeed when the song started.
VastaKustuta@psychicscubadiver
VastaKustutaHA HA! YES! You're the first one to notice!
You win an Internet. :D
(also, for the record, it's 'sir')
@Saddlesoap
VastaKustutaThat song... you have won the Internets in every cartoon dimension.
Ugh, I can't believe I am saying this.
VastaKustutaI would really love if the authors would post google doc versions of these stories. FIMFICTION and FANFICTION are a pain in the fricken flank to download the stories from. I mean how hard is it to have a website download a .txt file in the original format so an app other than windows wordpad or works or anything like that to be able to read it properly. Try it, go to the story, or any story on FIMFICTION. Download the story via the download button and open it on any device that reads text documents. Even try the windows txt viewer or wordpad. In windows notepad and any other text device you will get no formatting whatsoever. It looks like a preschoolers wall o text. On any app higher than that it will open up somewhat formatted with a bunch or garbage and trash characters everywhere. And what did the fimfiction site mods tell me. We will look into it, a few months ago and yet I still saw no change. I have yet to download a single story from either of those two web sites as of late. I dont read them from the web site. I read them from my android phone. The only way I can get fics offa those sites formatted properly is to drag over and copy the text. Try it and see how agonizingly slow it is to do that. Make a new txt, file paste it in. Save it, rename the name so it will organize in a folder and do that for a 20 chapter story like Past Sins, Fallout Equestria, Antipodes. It's irritating to the say the least. I will deal with the clunky Google Docs over doing that any day.
@Doc Steedly
VastaKustutaIt downloads it as txt. What do you expect? Plain text files HAVE NO formatting.
It's true though, would be nicer if you could download it as the same HTML that's shown on the page. I just save the bare html page and then edit it to cut out the actual story part myself.
I just read the third chapter again, and I like the bit with poor Fluttershy (Fluttertree?) getting hit on by the Halloween Tree.
VastaKustutaBut I wonder -- does that mean that the Halloween Tree has wood for Fluttertree? (Forgive me, my sister was watching her Beavis & Butt-head collection and the idiocy proved infectious...)
@Doc Steedly
VastaKustutaCopypaste?
That last chapter was awesome.
VastaKustuta2 Pinkies, lol.
Worth the month long wait.
fuck i'm righting one about this well sorta didnt read full thing but im like half done and its about luna dark decent to nightmare moon and what hapends to her...basicaly
VastaKustuta@heyalum its bllb1 howdd it get heyal?
VastaKustutaOh, that ending! I love the duels between Twi and Rarity on one hoof, and Luna and Tia on the other. It's really a funny story, and it's oddly appropriate that the last chapter came a week before Christmas.
VastaKustuta@DPV111
VastaKustutaTwo Pinkies... a terror even worse than the Boogie Man.
:D
I don't know what's more awesome: The fact that this is a The Nightmare Before Christmas/MLP:FiM crossover or the hint of an idea that Snake Eyes and Celestia teamed up to curb stop COBRA.
VastaKustuta@Echoed Wails
VastaKustutaOh man. Yes. There CAN'T be a way this didn't happen.
