    Shadow and Rainbow

    This is hands down one of the coolest Christmas present I've ever received. (Only a month late. haha)

    Here's the artists Deviant Art.

    Shadow has been cancelled. (or not)

    Edit: Holy cow! After sincerely not wanting to finish writing the story, I had a bought of insomnia and boredom and the last of it was finished in one night. Good times.

    Another Shadow Chaser?

    Heaven help me, I'm thinking of delving back into Shadow Chaser's world again. What do you guys think? I'm just tossing the idea around for now. Nothing really planned but have you liked the progression in the stories? I know they've been a bit all over the place in terms of how I end them and how I get to that ending but I'd like to think they've gotten better as time has gone on. Anyway,

    Making a Mary Sue?

    I made my last blog a little more open and posted it on a MLP site I'm on and apparently it caused someone to read my stories. They said they didn't really like the story because Shadow comes off as a Mary Sue character. As in, a character that is just perfect and has no flaws. Which threw me off. As far as I've ever been concerned Shadow was never close to a Mary Sue character. Maybe his

    Why I write

    Someone on FIM Fiction sent me a message earlier today and asked me why I continue to write stories. Currently, I'm in the middle of my third adventure with Shadow Chaser and I haven't received a ton of views or comments or even a lot of thumbs ups but I just keep writing the character. And this person wanted to know why I continued to write Shadow when I didn't get much recognition out of it.

Shadow has been cancelled. (or not) · 11:23pm Jan 21st, 2013

Edit: Holy cow! After sincerely not wanting to finish writing the story, I had a bought of insomnia and boredom and the last of it was finished in one night. Good times.

Well, guys, I'm sorry to say I have to call it quits to writing that last Shadow story. And nearly all my writing in general. The holidays included a move for me and things have been moving along with me finding a new job and I may have found one but I just don't have time to write anymore. At least not whole-heartedly. So I may come back eventually but for now, I don't even have the time to read all the stories I want. Let alone write them.

But as some of you may have spotted in the comment section of Shadows of War, I mentioned that I had a surprise for when it was over. Well, the surprise is done and I'm happy to tell you, it's a family portrait of Shadow and Rainbow. And their two daughters, Sky and Moon. And here it is.
Sky is the light blue filly, and Moon is the purple filly.

Hope you guys like it and I hope you've enjoyed Shadow's adventures as much as I have. Also, if you need a filler character for your stories, feel free to use Shadow. I know coming up with randoms can be hard, so why not use an established OC? Anyway, take care of each other and I'll catch you whenever I come back to finish.

P.S.: Yes, I made that picture.

Sorry to hear that you have to stop writing. I'll miss reading the Shadow stories. :fluttercry:

BTW: That picture is too d'aaaaaw for my liking. :rainbowlaugh:

737736 Yea, the fillies multiply the d'awww factor by like 10.

lol

But seriously, if you wanted I might be able to finish the Shadows of War one. If I write it, then send the writing to you, we could finish it eventually, right?
Just an idea, but please get back to me.

737774 Sure! I don't see why you couldn't finish it. I'll gather up some of my notes and message you with them. You can follow my ideas or curve it around yourself. Or, if you want you can completely write your own story with Shadow. He's not hard to write, really, and it'd be nice to see him from someone else's perspective. You could have one of the many missions he could've gone on in his 10 years in the agency. (I was thinking about sending him to Zebrica, the Zebra homeland.)

Alright! Message me your ideas and I'll get right on that! I think I might write another story as well that includes Shadow and my OC, Hothead. This is going to be so awesome! :raritystarry:

737828 You're going to wake up to one heck of a surprise. haha I hope you enjoy the ending. I know you wanted to take over but I guess I just hit a groove. Still, feel free to use Shadow in your own stories. Just be sure to link them to me so I can read em.

Alright! Will do, soldier's honor! :rainbowdetermined2:
I'm just glad that I made you change your mind to continue the Shadows of War story. It's my favorite so far!
