So, I got greenlit by
@Admiral Skippy before posting this thread, so don't you worry gents. It is apparently the right place for this.
Similar to the wdango thread, here is where I shall post all those one-shots, snippets, ideas, and whatnot that come through my head, wish to leave, and then are left in a corner of the hard drive to die horrible, slow, deaths until I need more space and thus erase them.
This shall also be a place where I'll put the quest status of the quest I'm doing, the ones I'd like to do, and those I need some crunching before doing.
However, as Admiral Skippy has thus proclaimed, keep the 'Quest-Related' banter of specific quests on their quest threads. Here there shall primarily be User-Fiction discussions.
Now then, to start first things first, a convenient index of stuff...because my Signature? My signature can't hold everything any longer.
(That is the secondary reason for this thread. My signature's reaching the end of its potential, and I need more space!)
So, Verbatim, here stands my Signature, if in an expanded format and with additions to it:
My Fictions on this Forum:
Persona IV - Faust Was Misguided All Along: Saving those meant to die to kick-start the investigation on the Fool was supposed to make the rest easy, so then why are things spiraling out of control, and why is Izanami coyly smiling? Deus Vult, Shade! Deus Vult!
Grimm Life: Shade is love and everything nice. Shade is also a Grimm in pre-canon RWBY. Things spiral out of control. Chibi-Ruby is cute. Young Ruby is paranoid. This is all Shade's fault somehow.
My Older Siblings Cannot Be the Dragonborn: Finding yourself dragged to the execution block together with a Nord and a Breton who believe they're your siblings is problematic enough, finding out the Dragonborn is a Bandit Nord? Where is my canon and what have you done to it!?
Noblesse Oblige (Completed): Zero No Tsukaima/SI. A story of Fluff and Kindness, of growing up in the La Valliere household and altering events, ensuring things turn out fine...even when they don't. Features fluffy birds, loving tenderness and good, happy feelings. Because Shade is Love. Shade is Fluff.
I Have Materia. Your Argument is Invalid (Completed): FF7/SI fic. I was simply taking a train back home. How I ended up in Midgar's train station is anyone's guess, because my memories are what they are. If only Jenova wasn't so interested in feeding me...
Ignis Aurum Probat: Neon Genesis Evangelion AU fic. Due to events, the first battle ends with an eleven year pause in the arrival of the Angels. A Grown-Up Cast faces new dilemmas, new troubles and different dreams and desires. Also, Shinji has a therapist.
The Steep Path Ahead: Zero no tsukaima AU story. Louise is kidnapped as a newborn and left in Germania, the summoning happens in drastically different circumstances, and nobody happily whips anybody around.
Dread Rising (Book One Completed.): Pathfinder-Like Setting. A powerful Lich awakens from slumber, the world he knew and had conquered now not even remembering him, or his reasons. He thus embarks on a quest to recover his lost power, find out who sent him to slumber for thousands of years...and use his Smart-Evil alignment to prove that Evil does not necessarily need an Idiot Ball in hand.
Mook Life: Multicross. Be a mook. Live events. Die horribly. Get reincarnated as a mook elsewhere. Because even faceless mooks may have interesting stories to tell...or painful things to go through.
Fate Stay Write Go (Completed): FSN. We have three main paths as a master and one path as a servant. There are...things, inside. Lots of...things. And stuff. Still, in the process of turning it into a VN (thanks to Mizu and InfiniteDaze)
Grimm Tidings: RWBY. Follow a slight retelling of RWBY with a 'slight' diversion from the beaten path with team BAYN, as Jaune tries his hardest to become a Hero. Yet, the path to fame is always riddled with strife and pain, isn't it?
Soul Art Online (Completed): SAO/DS. Soul Art Online is a multiplayer online game where Humanity is precious, death is at the order of the day and many things are tested. Can the players keep their humanity in the face of ever-growing trials, or will they shatter their morality for an easier path?
I have a very strange Master (Completed): Star Wars/SI, POV of Ahsoka Tano. Ahsoka Tano has a very strange master. Scratch that, maybe he's mad from head to toe. But he's also awesome. Maybe, maybe not. Episode I and II out.
Team Bonding. The last Naruto Fic I'll ever write. This shall deal with simple, fluff-filled stuff about Team Seven growing up and becoming the best teammates there ever could be, like no one ever was! Very, very slow pace, very short chapters, but if you want a dose of heartwarming, pass by here. Just be careful with Tora. The Eldricht thing
bites.
Dark Wings. Ichika Orimura was successfully kidnapped by Phantom Task. Recovered after a failed mission, how will a half-broken, half-mercenary Ichika deal with...the Infinite Stratos Academy?
Soul Splitter (Completed). SI Pokémon story. Double the Shade, Double The Fun.
Bond Breaker (Completed). First SI Multicross. Keep an eye out for Invisitext and the Meta, there's plenty of both.
Hope Bearer. SI Multicross. Sequel To Bond Breaker. Vacation Time Means Happy Fluff Time, Right? This is the sequel which also holds all those dimensions I would have liked to put in the first one, but I didn't want to bloat the first part, so I placed it in the second one instead.
My Quests:
Welcome to Beauxbatons, You Are Tom Marvolo Riddle: Be Tom Marvolo Riddle in the most fabulous setting ever. Enjoy the dryad songs and find out the mysteries of the golden palace. Will you have FUN?
Skyrim Quest. My first Riot Quest. You are a mook in the Imperial Legion. Burn down the cities you're charged in protecting! Praise Talos! Praise Sheogorath! Do madness and face-palms in abundance! And remember that the Legionnaires' hymn is 'Kill the Thalmor!'
Keep Ruler. Rule A Keep. (Quest). A try on a management Quest, hopefully it will go well.
Thicker Than Blood. Harry Dresden Quest. Be Nathaniel, Ax-Loving Guy. This has recently restarted to boot. I hopefully can convey Jim Butcher's ever-increasing odds of despair with only the skin-of-the-teeth salvation at the end.
Or maybe not, and Axing shall fall on poor fae and warlocks alike.
Poor, poor Fae.
Quests 'Dropped'.
Welcome to Hogwarts, You Are A Wizard SV! You are Alexander Crouch. Ravenclaw Wizard First Year.
Hero Hive Creatures Quest You are Emiya Shirou, governing the Zerg, in Halkeginia. Things can't possibly be worst-oh wait a second is that Gilgamesh and Magical Girl Ilya over there!? Joy! Pure. Joy!

My Fanfiction:
My Fanfiction Page
I personally suggest ignoring
everything before
Introverted. And of Introverted, I suggest reading past the Chuunin Exam, first test, because a lot of people stop there without understand it was a lie. That said, it is the core of Grim-Darkness-Derpness, so take it with a pinch of salt.
(Why then, do they still stand there? Those other fics, which I no longer consider worthy of being read? Because they are a testament to the changing of my writing style, of course!)
At 'Great Request':
The Boy in the Park. This story is not endorsed by Shadenight123 in no way at all. It is not in line with his usual writing and should thus be considered an exception that confirms the rule. No, seriously, this is fluff.
My Published Book:
The Investigator And The Case Of The Missing Brain.
And this should be all for the Signature and stuff.
With that out of the way, well, let's get this discussion going with some good asking.
Readers! Followers of the Cult of Shadenight -Yes, I have those too! Damn Huggers! (I'm watching you! Don't you dare near with your hugs!) Those who vote in my quests! (I really should update a couple. Give me a couple more minutes and some will be updated)
Things People Say about me:
@Taisei : "Your stories do inspire a bittersweet trippy sensation of sadness and grief. If I had to use an analogy to describe your writing, it's kind of like having sex with a quality prostitute who looks like someone you have a crush on, feeling sick afterward, then waking up and realizing it was a dream. You inspire that feeling in me; hold onto that."
@Bladestar123: "The name Shade is forever immortalized as belonging to a psychopath swinging a light saber through the multiverse."
'It could use a bit of Shadenight123 in it' has become a common term to define a desire for less Harem-Troping in a fic.
to Shade: vb. To act in a highly abrasive, yet entertaining manner, to use deep insight and knowledge of someones mental build to ones advantage, to preach about negative emotions and coffee.
I don't trust Shade when he shows signs. If he stood next to a road with a "Rome" sign, I would still ask him where is he hichhiking, and I would be fully ready for the answer to be "Santa's House".
Dark Ness: To Shade=To write a great story that also involves paranoia and ANGST in large amounts
But we can always improve.
And this thread shall serve precisely that purpose.
Thus, people, let's start discussing stuff. General Writing stuff. What would you like to see written by yours truly? What would you like to be improved in the upcoming chapters of new fics? Would you like an Omake? If so of what?
As always, my
creed remains unchanged.
I
am an average writer, but this does not mean I have to
stay average. Thus, let us
improve.
-I think for a starting post this is more than enough. Any Fic/Quest I forgot to put up in here? Do tell!-
