Ace Cadet's Nightmare has a word count of 5056. It's grand in its ambitions and combines a lot of good moments from a number of games, even if the end result is a bit unfocused and meandering. Your reward is 18 EXP!

Hat Kid's Nightmare has a word count of 4142. While it doesn't go pure horror aside from that creepy interlude, reliving the moments her world was destroyed and plunged into the abyss of a Time Warp are real nightmare material for her. I'll look forward to its conclusion later. Your reward is 36 EXP!

Donnie's Nightmare has a word count of 1555. It recounts a chilling moment of despair from his own past, with a nightmarish twist. The conflict with the old god, involving Donnie's understanding of Galeem and the dynamic between it and such a being as N'zoth, is interesting. Your reward is 20 EXP!

Black Mage's Nightmare has a word count of 3018. Just barely getting over the threshold, eh? I dig it. The story has an odd blend of tenses, at times speculative, past, and even present, but overall it's pretty cool. Paints a terrifying picture. Your reward is 9 EXP!

Blazermate's Nightmare has a word count of 3303. It's a fun and well-written action story, and definitely good practice for future fight writing. Not really horror or a nightmare, though. There wasn't anything scary, either in raw fear value, suspense, or dissonance. Blazermate had complete control over herself and the situation, and it wasn't really that threatening. Because of this, I'm afraid I'm going to have to trim your reward. Your reward is 20 EXP!
