Nope. Can't do it anymore.

I am discontinuing In the Shadow of an Eclipse.
Why you may ask? Well, it's been some fourteen months since I last put out an update. I have long since lost my drive to write it, which has been sapping my ability to write ANYTHING.
So does this mean that the story will go unfinished? I certainly hope not.

...Well...

Three months after the announcement of a new chapter and... nothing...
I am sorry everyone, I just haven't been able to put words on paper here. I know the direction I want to take it, but whenever I try to write it, I get a paragraph and I hate it. I'll keep trying to get stuff written for you all.

So I am, in fact, still ~~a potato~~ alive, and in fact, will be working on a new chapter quite soon. Sorry for the delay, guys and gals. ^^;
Don't you worry, though. Four months of creative juices and other assorted drinks are ready to be put to work on entertaining you fine folks!

New Chapter Inbound!

Unfortunately for Eclipse fans, it's a new Chapter of Her Bright Smile in the works.
'But reyin,' I hear you say, 'you haven't released a chapter of Eclipse in two months, and the last Smile chapter was two DAYS ago!'
Well... yes. And there's a reason for that.

T3T

I do apologize for not being around. I've been having trouble writing, partly because my computer fan's still broken, and partly because I can't keep anything in my head but Bohemian Rhapsody.
That said, a new chapter of Her Bright Smile is to be proofread today (I'm writing this at 12:11 my time). Once I get the OK from Copy Cat I'll have it out to you.

An Important Question · 12:07am Dec 19th, 2012

Hey guys, I am still around and all. Chapter Four is in the works, have no worries! I just ran across a bump in the road that grew into a full-sized case of writer's block. But, thanks to my beta, the lovely Copy Cat, I have rewritten the problem section and am almost ready to finish off the chapter!

And that problem brings me to my question. You might have noticed that I have an odd writing style in Shadow. I call it 'perspective-based-third-person'. How is this different from normal third person? Because I abuse the reader's perspective like filmmakers abuse camera angles. A good example of this is the end of the last chapter, where I used the flow of conversation to make you think Eclipse was talking, when Pinkie was.

So my question is: What do you guys, the readers, think of this style? I know it's caused some confusion before, like the party preparation scene in the Prologue. In my defense, though, that scene was supposed to be chaotic. So, yeah, what do you think of it?
