Amnastaria here, posting with my "Storyteller alt"
(for those of you who still remember my old forum RP game...)
Happily announcing that finally I've launched a basic website which will host my ideas for alternative story of BFA, which will be published in parts.

Sadly (or not so sadly): No mehcagnomes, and no version for moblies are available :-P
Dream Diary 48; "Who you gonna call?"
Enter an agent for a secretive government agency dealing with the supernatural. Following a series of strange events involving an office building and its surrounding sewer system, the agent and collegue are called in to deal with it.
The two quickly locate the locus of the issue; a timid, balding desk worker with a lot of bottled up issues. The Agent knows the routine and goes into a harsh motivational rant to drive the man to live out his frustrations. The office worker has a lot of resentment for his boss who's the definition of incompetent arrogance and the balding man is encouraged to assault the bad boss.
This in turn awakens something that quickly seems to leave the office worker to slip into the ground. The Agent and collegue escort the man outside as he's still in a wound up suggestible state and easily led. His 3 year-old daughter is evacuated to relatives and the man is brougt to a large sewage pipe at the edge of town.
Inside the pipe, something growls. The Agent explains that it's the man's Psychopomp that's been causing all these issues and it must be dealt with now that they've driven it into its hiding place after causing so much trouble. The psychopomp emerges; a large, yeti looking thing that the man recognises as his daughter's imaginary friend, Mr. Stubby or something but fierce and feral. The daughter is the one who let the thing into our reality!
The psychopomp snarls as several strange spikes and quills emerge from its filth encrusted fur, its claws and fangs growing. It's clear that the psychopomp is "mantling" the imaginary friend in official terms, its true spiky unimaginable form wearing the yeti as a costume. As the Agents move to confront the creature, it feeds on the office worker's dread and transforms into a huge boar; the animal he fears the most. The boar charges, still barely holding together as the Psychopomp's true form juts through its animal husk like an ill fitting costume. The boar crashes into the man who wrestles it in the mud surrounding the sewage pipe so as to banish it, for his daughter! Mortal men have little chance against a Psychopomp, though and the giant boar quickly overwhelms and eats him in a manner similar to a crocodile.
The Agents in turn know the routine; backup is hours away and protocol says to quit while you're ahead. The now plump Psychopomp strolls back into the sewage pipe and the Agents head back home with another collegue for coffee. They note to use a bucket for emergencies in the next few hours as the sewer system has yet to be "contained".

Dream Diary serving 49:
Set in the warcraft universe, there's a gorgeous 40ish woman with long, curly hair who is a famous and beloved folk singer. She has a great number of fans and travels with what's pretty much Fiona's caravan to perform in various places.
One of her fans is a tad unorthodox. A being obscured, he watches and follows. Revealing himself as Dreadlord Count Nox, he warns the singer of her enemies and those that might harm her. Incredulous at best, she isn't listening to, nor trusting of a Dreadlord.
This is all well enough as Count Nox retreats to a cabin in the mountains of northrend, weary and remembering a time when he held sway. It was foolish to think that she would listen and trust him in that form but he wanted to be sincere.
Taking the form of a hooded wraith, he moves to the singer's latest performance and chooses action over warnings, attacking the stalker that meant the singer harm. Everyone flees, thinking the scourge has returned but Count Nox is content that the lovely singer is safe.

A dread-lord watcher? this is un-orthodox indeed :)
Though I guess that some artists will praise anything that will get them rid of nasty or violent stalkers... even if it's an horrifying demon lord.

On other news - I updated my own wedsite, to include the story of crazed kobolds re-taking fargodeep mines while carrying some nightmarish sickness.
https://alternativebfastory.wordpress.com/darkness-in-fargodeep/
This time, I finally included something that I think that is really lacking from WoW (or at least modern wow) - some storylines in which the adventurer lose, no matter if he wins the encounters: mission failed, escort npc dies, etc. As the world is full with powers stronger then an adventurers. Nowdays it only exists when an alliance player cross Sylvanas and her minions, i'm afraid...

Since stuff is getting scrubbed in the big forum revamp I spent a stupid amount of time looking through a stupid amount of pages to salvage all the dream diaries of substance.
Mari's endless observational poems will mostly vanish but I wrote down my personal favourite a while back for exactly this kind of disaster.
See you on the other side.

Weary cold, dusk's shadow standing tall; pieces joined to peace to fall. Its hallowed chain reforged to bind, a new dawn soon faced blind. Stars we knew depart the sky, waves to wash away the lie. We wake soon on foreign shores, fading moon to mend our sores.

The new forum has decided the only character Iâm allowed to post on is Korthar.
Strike one, new forum.

What an eccentric performance, roughly half my character roster is gone.
I hope thatâs just some manner of hiccup switching to a new system is bound to have, not posting in this thread on Amariel feels weird.

Turns out I can post on DK Cath, too. Is Blizzard trying to tell me something?
Guess Iâll just like Korthar and Saerimaâs posts again because A ) you can like posts on multiple characters now, and B ) you can like your own posts on your other characters.
Nice feature, that. Doesnât remove the point of likes, or anything!

Itâs new. I donât like it!
Sadly, it also seems more bugged than the old forums too. Telling me to log in despite being logged in, then telling me that I have no characters, insisting to force a particular character and disabling functionality if I switch and refusing to let me read my post history.
Insert âI donât feel so goodâ disintegration meme.

Iâm not sure if itâs because of my lack of activity, the fact that I found these forums just now or some kind of dumb luck that I was allowed to post as any character on my roster.
Still, uh, this will take a while to get used to, even as a lurker. I have to admit that I do like the auto-preview option.
