Give me a "P"! Give me an "R"! I'll finish the rest when I'm motivated enough to spell 'Procrastinate'.

How many years has it been? Five, six years? When fluttershy's little brother, Night Shade, comes to visit her and her friends in Ponyville, she realizes just how badly he needs her help.

Hey everypony. Kinda new to this whole thing and this is my first fic so let me know what you think. I already have chapters 1, 2, and 3 up and ready to go so I have a good start for you. I mostly use my Ipod to write my fic so I can make new chapters on the go and at home, so updates will be more often than most other fics that take weeks to update :yay: If you got any questions or ideas just mail me and I'll get back to you A.S.A.P. :raritywink:

Very good job!!! :pinkiehappy: i cant wait to read the rest

Dashie is such a little flirt XD really great story so far. cant wait to see what you have in store next :twilightsmile:

you did an excellent job on your first story!! please keep going!! :twilightsmile:

Night Shade,

Not too bad so far. I sent you a message about your fic with some thoughts and links that may be of assistance. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to help with my limited skill and knowledge. Also, have an upvote to balance htings out. Don't get disheartened. Writing takes time and practice, and you'll never be able to please everyone.

Pretty interesting story so far. I just hope you continue it. This deserves a follow.:pinkiehappy:

2832596 Thanks for the advice Quill. I'll definitely keep it in mind while I'm working on the next chapter. This is actually my first real writing project since I was 15 :twilightblush: Hopefully I'll do better on this one than I did with my last writing project, which got a lot of bad rap.:twilightoops:

Having only posted two fics, I know the pain of unpopularity. I really love my long fic, but it's a laborious experience. I'd never done any creative writing before November, but I decided I wanted to try. I'm fortunate enough to have an amazing editor. I also read a lot. When I say a lot, I mean I don't watch TV, I don't go out drinking, and I don't play video games, I just read. I suggest you look at my user page and pay attention to my Top Favorites. I feel they are the Crème de la Crème of FimFiction and you may learn a lot form their authors, as I did.

Bets of luck, and if you need help I'll try to answer your questions.

2834229 Unfortunately I'm the only person in my town that even looks at anything MLP :applejackunsure: So me finding an editor is probably about as likely as a foodie dropping his cheeto addiction. And I'm not really a 'get out and do stuff' kinda guy either. I prefer my books to reality.

Also, the only person? Wow. MLP has a huge following where I'm from in NC, USA

Hey everypony. Sorry for a slight delay in writing. I got a bit sick and needed some sleep :pinkiesick: I'm still a bit sore but I'll be starting work on Fluttershy's Lonely Shadow again effective immediately. I appreciate the patience and hope to get the next chapter to you soon :raritywink:

Oh yeah, my help is needed. Yah kinda use the phrase 'said' an awful lot boy-O! If you read your lines and find yourself repeating the same word over and over again in rapid succession, try to say the same thing but with different words, like, "I saw this ball bounce by" said Twi", or "The purple unicorn watched as a round shiny red ball crossed her path", I described the ball a bit too much there but you can see what I'm getting at right?

I almost started laughing as every time someone spoke it ended with, 'she said' I was almost hoping for the setup to that punch line till I remember'd this was a sad fic, Anyway! Plz take my words as happy words of encouragement, I want to see you do well and enjoy your writing experience.

Well you take your time with events better than most, just remember what I had mentioned last time and your golden.

Ahh! Now I get the sad tag, it was Luna, of course. Mighty nonchalant story you've whipped up here, in all my days of reading, writing, and watching. I can honestly say I have no idea where this story is headed. Will Luna now become a more permanent part of the plot, will we see more of the relationship between Shade and shy, and will we learn more of there past as a result? I look forward to finding out.:pinkiehappy:

2867565 Hey Neko, Shade here :pinkiehappy: I'm glad that you've taken such an interest in my little story here, as much as I hope that it wount be so little haha :twilightblush: I'm grateful for the advice about the whole 'said' subject. I was afraid I was using that word too much :twilightoops: I do have more plans for Luna's place in the story, though I was shooting for that chapter to be more of a 'describing the protagonist' chapter. Kinda just to put him out there as a reserved but sweet and friendly character. I have a lot of idea's for this story. Just hope my editor can help me out. I'm kinda a lost cause :twilightsheepish:

>>Night-Shade If your looking for an editor, or ideas you can also count on me. My door is open ^^

2872800 Thanks for the offer. I definitely could have used one when I started this, but I've already found an editor :twilightoops: I'm still up for advice and suggestions though, as this is my first big story in four years, and my first ever FIMfic :twilightblush:

Hey everypony. Shade again. I'd like to thank you for your patience so far. Chapter four is going slower than I thought, but I'll try to have it up as soon as it's done :raritywink:

Just to let you all know, I've been going over the story again, and I've made a few changes to all the previous chapters. Nothing big, just some character corrections and a few add-on paragraphs :derpytongue2: Chapter four is coming along pretty good, and should be done sometime soon, though you shouldn't count your chickens before you stop and think "Do I even own any chickens?" :pinkiecrazy: Anyway, thought I would give you all a heads up, seeing as I have been absent in adding anything new for some time :twilightoops: I will be adding the rebuffs A.S.A.P. so don't buck my skull in just yet :raritywink:

OK, the story has been updated, and a few comical pieces have been added for my own piece of window-licker mind :derpytongue2: anyway, enjoy the newly rebuffed chapters 1, 2, and 3, though the changes are almost unnoticeable :twilightoops:

OK, so here's the deal, Production on Fluttershy's Lonely Shadow will be a little slow due to the fact that I will be starting college on the 13th. This may agitate some ponies and I'm sure to get at least a couple complaints in the mail, most likely containing some foul language as I have already received a few of these. So I would like to make it known that I'm doing as best I can with what little time I have :fluttershysad: So yeah, I'll have Chapter 4 up soon as I can, so possibly in a few days :raritywink:

Ok everypony, I know I'm in for a paddlin' for leaving this fanfiction untouched for so long, but I just got out of college and I can finally start work on it again. I'm actually planning on doing a pairing for Shade but I don't wanna use one of the Mane six or a BG pony, so I was thinking why not set this message up for all of you? I'm gonna ask everypony to send me a private message with a description of they're female OC with personality, looks, and talent and whatever else you think is important and whichever one I think is best gets they're OC in Fluttershy's Lonely Shadow. Keep in mind though it'll be as Shade's special somepony :twilightblush:

Just as another shout out, I'll probably be rewriting some of the stuff in my current chapters. I took English and Writing 404 while I was at college, and man did my face look sour when I went over the chapters I got. Bad punctuation, misplaced uppercase, and a lot of run on paragraphs. So yeah, a lot is gonna be fixed. :pinkiehappy:

Hey everypony, Night Shade here. So I took some time to take a break from Fluttershy's Lonely Shadow and set up an op for other ponies to send me some info on they're OC for a pairing with Night Shade in the story. I didn't get any OC's, but I got plenty of suggestions for BG ponies, and one suggestion really caught my eye. Unfortunately, the pony that caught my attention wished to remain anonymous, but she suggested I use the well known florist, Roseluck. I think it's a pretty good pairing, so expect to see some RoseShade in the future everypony :pinkiehappy:

Aight, now this has gotta be a record for me. Three years and no updates on this story. The disappointment is real. Unfortunately, the reason behind it is that I had a dozen chapters written out for this story, and while I was at work, my room flooded due to a storm, and my computer died. So now I have to rewrite everything. Sorry everypony:fluttercry:
