    Fic Illustrations, Open for Scene Suggestion

    Hey, long time no post! Okay, maybe not that long, but it has been a few months since I've posted anything. I don't really have an excuse for that, I just sorta... Stopped writing? The next Shadow of a Doubt chapter's been nearly done for months, though the chapter after that has been a bit difficult to plan out.

    Oof.

    Anyway! Onto the topic of the blog title!

    You can now read Made With Love in Russian!

    Thanks to KolyanGOLD, for the first time ever, one of my stories has been translated for the first time! I'm not actually sure how many people who follow me will read it in Russian, but seeing as it's the first time one of my stories has been translated, it's a neat little accomplishment.

    Story updates, + some other non-story stuff

    First of all, if you haven't seen yet, look what updated for the first time in a year! New cover art and everything, I'd never been too big of a fan of the old art, it was never my best... Though I forgot to leave room for the title, oops. I'll figure that out eventually. It's also blurry, for some reason. The art is not like that when clicked on or sourced, however.

    Would anyone be interested if I offered writing commissions

    It's never been a thing I'd considered too much, I've always considered writing harder than art, but the last blog wasn't actually the end of my money troubles... I'm not desperate for money, I have food and a place to live, but I am jobless and would like to have some money saved for emergencies. There's been a lot of those lately. All pets are fine though! Just... Anxious now, after

    I don't really have a title for this

    So if anyone remembers, back in February my cats all caught colds, and I was particularly worried about one of them, Reeses. Thankfully, they all recovered, but I still really needed to take Reeses to the vet because I was worried about her.

EDIT: Consensus reached. Shadow of a Doubt shall be known as such for now and until the end of time.

So what's the consensus on name changes for fics? I mean, I know it's allowed, but how do readers feel about it? Shadow of a Doubt was kind of a spur of the moment thing, and though it's grown on me since, I've recently been struck with an even better name. One that's essentially been in the story's description the whole time.

Solace in Starlight.

Aren't I a clever one, completely missing that prime opportunity?

I haven't solidified my opinion on changing it yet, but that name does feel much more fitting, but Shadow of a Doubt just feels like more like the story now, you know? What do you all think, which name would you guys prefer?

Also obligatory Sombra pic, this time featuring my sad little bootleg and the threat of a never ending Winter. Right where he belongs.

I do like 'Solace in Starlight' but 'Shadow of a Doubt' relates more to what's happening now, especially the last chapter that was posted.

I mean... I like the name Shadow of a Doubt personally...

Thank you for the input! It's actually somewhat relieving to see that the story's current name is liked, because I'm actually a bit attached to the name myself.

I mean the other idea felt clever but also why fix what's not broken, right?

Why not merge the two? The Shadow of Doubt in the Solace of Starlight?

Okay I do like that, but it's a bit too long for my tastes, unfortunately.

Somehow not sure if that fits this story as well, but I do like that one too. Might need to save that for another story...

At the moment, the current name seems to be winning out though, which actually makes things a bit easier.

I'd say stick with the original title as it just gives the story its overall feel. (Plus hey, you could always just save that second title for a possible sequel down the line if the fancy ever strikes ya. Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more?)

Save the other title for the sequel :)

I'm only 8 chapters into this story and you're all instigators. But also you're right.

I guess that officially settles it then.

>implying there isn't a constant need for more Sombra
Excuse me???

5205595
You know you wanna!

Y'know what, you're right about that too. Never enough Sombra, if I can not find more I shall create it myself.

It's ok though I've been throwing around ideas for a sequel in my head anyway. May or may not have had an overall plot decided a while ago oops.
