Things you should know about me: Canada College Music That is all

T

So there's this pony. Shadow. He's different. His dark magic is cold, ancient, and forbidden. Now that's what we know, but the real adventure lies in what is still a mystery. Will he be able to learn to live a new life in Ponyville? What happens when two hearts start to beat with a synchronized pulse? All this and more in the great and powerful tale that lies within!

One word Its Amazing! :coolphoto:

A few errors, but an overall impressive read. Better than mine, any way. :rainbowkiss:

i like the concept will read....

Haha, Shadow Storm and Fluttershy are the most awkward duo ever. :rainbowlaugh:
The writer inside of me begs for a Shadow X Twilight but you can't have everything
you want. :twilightblush: I like it so far, keep going.

Tracked. :pinkiesmile:
I want to see where this is going.

NEW CHAPTER!! Hope you like.
Also, as a preview for the next chapter let's just say: special cider + 1 colt / 6 fillies = teen rating :duck:
CHEERS!

First OC I've ever liked. Your ideas are great. A few typos here and there but that can be forgiven seeing that I have them regurlarly as well :twilightblush: oh, sometimes it's better to just write a sentance with an exclamation mark instead of typing it in all caps, it's just easier to read that way and caps can cause the overall writing to look a bit ugly. But do whatever you like, it's your story. :twilightsmile:

Keep it up, I will be following you closely. :rainbowkiss:

104258 Thanks for the tips! They're very welcome and needed :pinkiehappy:

Man..... Im gunna have to wait for another chapter... you just love to torture us readers don't you...

Awesome fic so far, I'd love to see how Shadow tries to keep his secret studies hidden and, if he fail, exactly how the other ponies are gonna react to somepony who is actually a fan of Nightmare Moon.

There's a few errors, but something that really grates me is that, while you're writing from this OC's perspective, you occasionally slip into narrating things that he wouldn't know, like other character's thoughts and feelings. It's not bad, but it definitely couldn't hurt to find yourself an editor.

Thanks for the input, but I'm way way way to casual to get an editor :pinkiehappy:

Fresh off the presses! New chapter. I hid two references in here if you didn`t notice. Hope you enjoy! :ajsmug:

PS. If the story is moving to slowly, let me know! :twilightsmile:

"Do you get to the cloud district often? Oh, what am I saying? Of course you don't!"

I see what you did there!
Though I can't find the second reference...

My reaction at ShadowDash.

ME WANTS SHADOWLIGHT!! :twilightangry2:
Good chapter though. :twilightsmile:

109789

HEY!!!!!!!! i was gunna point that out when I saw that reference I busted out laughing
i had it all Crtl-C'd ready to point that out....

Me sad pony. :raritydespair:

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
If there isn't more soon there is going to be trouble mister... no seriously i need it.. i need my fix man.. i need my pony fix......
Rainbow dash smoking weed made my day.

:pinkiehappy: Thanks for the positive reactions bronies! New chapter should be out today or tomorrow if all goes well.
If you didn't catch the second reference it was 'victory cigarettes'. From George Orwell's 1984.
Until next time, CHEERS! :yay:

This pleases me.
Continue. :trixieshiftleft:

its just a thought but if Shadow is so fluent in luna's dark magic could you make it so that if in a fit a rage he could blot out the sun for a few minutes? just an idea o show off his (if he has one) beserker rage stage :3 (1st)

113031
Thanks for idea, but like, in my mind shadow isn't SUPER super powefulr, just sort of powerful, but very knowledgeable. Think, Twilight sparkle is to Celestia as Shadow is to Luna. But he definitely is going to have a beserker rage at one point :pinkiecrazy:

The plot thickens. No, not what you guys are thinking. (perverts)

It's like a great JoJ!

If you don't know what JoJ is, then watch Escape From HoH SiS on youtube.

But anyways, it's a really nice story!:rainbowkiss:

107522 I can't help but notice the use of "hand" alot. Sorry, but you might want to consider revising these chapters and putting hoof instead of hand:rainbowlaugh:.

Anyways, the story is really good! :pinkiehappy:

I really like the idea of having a socially akward pony who practices dark magic in Ponyville! All I have to say is:img.ponibooru.org/_images/4ea4eaedac007009baea8b1383d9988f/36935%20-%20brilliant%20moustache%20pinkie_pie.png

113473
Thanks for pointing that out. I ctrl+f'd hand and was shocked at how many I left in. They are now fixed thanks to you! :pinkiehappy:

:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:The Mane 6 getting drunk and high :twilightblush:

Poor Fluttershy though:fluttercry:

Mares cannot handle themselves well around Shadow :rainbowlaugh:

After hours of analysis, I've come to the extremely unobvious conclusion that Twilight likes Shadow.

(Extreme Sarcasm :trollestia:)

Who doesn't like to see updates? I just wish it wasn't so rushed. It was kind of difficult to keep track of who's speaking when the only text in the chapter is dialogue. (First fifth of the chapter was 99% character speech)

As a suggestion I'd also re-read the chapter for grammar errors. I spotted at least one big one in there. Also, be careful not to give your character too much power. (Every insane power needs a drawback, as self insertion/wishful thinking can be a fic killer)

Oh god, poor Fluttershy. Haha! :rainbowlaugh:

Shadow finally learns a dark secret of Equestrian politics and gets a marefriend... And all he cares about is tea... :rainbowlaugh:

113077 i fully understand but than again twilight in her normal state isnt very "powerful" either however dependent on her moods she either
1) when she rages summons an amount of magic powerful enough to speed up the evolution process to the point where she becomes a new being (your twilight just evolved into rapidash)
2) when insane manage a compulsion spell strong enough to confuses an entire town of a speculated population of 250 ponies
and
3) as proven in the cutie mark chronicles episode she simply has too much magic for her to control

so if twilight is to celestia and shadow is to luna that would mean he would have alot of magic, does not know it, and if enraged enough could cause something along the line of making an inpenetrable(sp?) dome of darkness around the town :3 any ways hope the next part comes in soon so MOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Vinetion
you should track down 114114
and you can discuss the benefits and dangers of empowering an OC.
For now, I shall not reveal my master plan... MUAHAHAHA :flutterrage:

But thanks for the support! :rainbowkiss:

The Moonbane are somewhat similar to the Militia from inFAMOUS 2.Both are purists who want to kill people who in the Moonbane's case are supposedly Moon Magic users and in the Militia's case,supposed or real Conduits

Straight from my broken laptop, it's the next chapter!:pinkiehappy:
Yes I'm aware half of it has nothing to do with Shadow, but who can resist writing about two pegasi fillies getting it on?... or is that just me? :twilightblush:
Anyhow, enjoy! CHEERS!

Now Shadow must meet Luna and fall in love! Twilight can go do stuff..... darn it! I want Shadow and Luna but Twilight would be all sad! darn... :fluttercry:

" oh sweet celestia!" awkward-shy is best fluttershy.

Oh DEAR GOD WHY??? I will never be able to look at fluttershy the same way again!

118712
Muahaha! KakePro, it's a proven fact of ponies, when they're slighted by their male friends, they immediately become lesbians.

for some reason i started reading Shadow's lines with jack sparrows voice, and it fit pretty well :rainbowlaugh:

i am very glad i tracked this, i've had a good laugh so far, especially at how you write pinkie.:pinkiehappy:

119732
Thanks to you I will no longer be able to read this without imagining Captain Jack Sparrows voice! :raritydespair: The horror!
