It's been a year since I published the first chapters of Sombra's Bat. A whole year later, this story has morphed into a million stories waiting to be told. A million blank canvases waiting to be turned into pieces of art. An entire universe of characters to meet. There's now a sequel in the form of Fire and Shadows, a prequel in the works, and I've had to make a

Severe lack of ideas for Fire and Shadows here. Or rather, too many ideas. I think I know where I want to start, but I'm not entirely sure because there's a problem.

Discord.

If you go back to Chapter 47, you'll see what I'm on about. No spoilers for anypony who hasn't read the story yet.

Fire and Shadows has just been submitted and should land in a few minutes. I'm excited. I don't know why exactly, but I'm filled with that feeling you get when you're a kid and it's Hearth's Warming Day.

Probably because it's batpones and Sombra.

~ Angel

*sigh* That's better. Now let's have some fun with this sequel.

Also, regarding the thing I forgot? Bronie312 reminded me, so the competition is closed. Go check out her stories, because she's got some brilliant ideas!

~ Angel

There you go. Sombra's Bat is finished. Chapter 2 of the sequel is proving a challenge - I can't get it to flow properly because Chrysalis is a pain in the flank. But I should start publishing chapters at some point in May. I can't give an exact date because busy life and writer's block, but it usually doesn't take long for me to think of something.

It's featured again. My work is being appreciated and shown to all of Fimfiction. I'm actually crying right now because I never thought this would happen to one of my stories.

Thank you.

A few little things I'd like to say to anypony reading the story.

Today I've released Chapter 49, which took a lot of work to write. On Thursday I'm going to publish Chapter 50, the final chapter of Sombra's Bat. And whew, that was one long journey, but an enjoyable one.

...and I'm wondering why newspaper articles are so satisfying to write. Seriously. I would post a sneak peak for you all here, but I'd spoil the last chapter of Sombra's Bat, which is not happening on my watch!

I've got so many ideas for the next story. There's going to be awesome speeches from Celestia. S.M.I.L.E. might get involved. All kinds of stuff could happen. And the climax will be epic.

I have a few rough ideas for the next story, but I'm stuck on one little detail that arguably the entire story depends on.

A title.

Yup, no idea what the story is actually going to be called. I was thinking of something along the lines of Fire and Shadows but I'm not sure as I want to go with that now.
*cough cough*
Hello, Sombra.
I have a question, Angel.
Not sure where this is going, but ok...

Oh my goodness. Discord. Writing him is SOOOOOOOO frustrating! I don't know if it's worse for me, or the cartoon horses on the other side of the fourth wall.

...Anyways, here's another chapter of batpones and villains. Oh, and I have a question regarding story arcs.

Sombra's Bat is, in my opinion, my best piece of writing. It's taken a lot of effort, and it's up to 95k words.

But something happened to it.

Dun dun duuuuuuun!!!

Don't worry, it's not been cancelled or deleted or lost or anything like that. Although, arguably, its fate at the present could be far worse than that.

New chapter uploaded. This one's really a transition between two major events. If you've been tracking the story and you're up to date, you'll know what the first one is. You'll find out about the second pretty soon.

Happy Easter everypony,
~ Angel.

They say Royal OCs usually end up being Mary Sues, and OC x Canon stories are disgustingly bad. I made an OC x Canon story where the OC protagonist is connected to royalty.

My face when I realised this:

I've been treading in dangerous fanfiction territory for the better part of 6 months, and yet the story doesn't have hundreds of downvotes.

Is this good or bad?

You thought it was Angel who set up this elaborate hoax, but it was I, Sombra!
*shakes head* One, that's not true. Two, what is it with the anime reference?!
Did I make an anime reference?
Yes you did. Now stop hijacking my blog.
Fine.

I, King Sombra, hereby commandeer this Fimfiction account in order to make a blog post.
Not so fast, Sombra.
*uses magic to create black crystals so Angel can't reach the computer* There. Now comes the fun part.
Don't you dare.
Using the secret link Angel kept in a Google Document for revealing her little secret.
Noooooooo!

Why is that important? Well, it's not really important to me, but tomorrow is. Because tomorrow is April 1st.

April Fool's Day. Loki Day. All Fools' Day. April Fish Day. Fimfiction Crackfic Day. The day when I reveal my evil plans. Especially for those of you reading Sombra's Bat. As well as annoying all of you with that, I'm uploading something else. What? Not gonna tell you! Y'all have to wait until tomorrow.

It's not anything important.

New story idea: *exists*
Me: I don't have the time to write that... But it's sooo good...
Sombra: Don't. You have more important things to think about.
Me: But-
Sombra: I'm trying to help you.
Me: Sorry, I have to write at least one teeny chapter.
Sombra: I won't let you.
Me: Too late. *begins typing away at computer faster than a Sonic Rainboom because inspiration has struck once more*

Maybe enough to give everypony a sneak peak for something I'm going to release on April 1st. I'm open to suggestions on how to make it better if you can think of anything. The story isn't complete because I scrapped the idea, rewrote it in a much more serious tone, then went back to what I wrote originally and realised it would never work as a serious story unless I had the time to write a longfic, which I don't because Sombra and Batpones.

That's... huge. I need to finish up editing those first chapters of Sombra's Bat and then I need to get writing, because I need to write that. I need to get a plan together for this whole thing, because what I had in mind before seems crazy and my gosh this makes so much sense! I feel so stupid!

I'm making progress with the editing of the first few chapters of Sombra's Bat, but a question just occurred to me. It's about some of the future chapters. We've seen a universe in which Sombra won, and the Rainbow Dash from that universe. And something's worrying me.

What to do about her left wing?
