First of all. HAPPY NEW YEAR! (Even if a bit late already) I hope everyone will have a great year!
          
          Second of all.... I'm alive! :P
          There have been:
          10 updates in 'Dark flames'
          2 updates in 'Unseeing eyes'
          
          As many probably noticed, I've been neglecting Wattpad... again...
          So I'm just going to be honest for myself and for everyone here. I do not think I'll be posting on Wattpad forever anymore. The 12 updates I've done in the past hour all at once on this platform, have been coming online on my AO3 profile every X days/weeks. Some have even been online already since august of 2024, yet had never been published over here.
          
          I've made a lot of other stand-alone stories in the meanwhile on AO3 and even new series. With how I've been handling my stories here on wattpad, I would only be lying to myself and everyone in a promise that I'll upload everything on here.
          
          So what I will do is the following: I'll continue to post (even if in big batches like today) the few ongoing stories* I already have on Wattpad. This so people can read a story in one go and not be left without an ending.
          
          *Ongoing stories: With this I mean the stories that will have an actual ending.
          This means stories like 'Pop's pups', 'Caught in the wrong house',... There will be a definite ending for those.
          I however do have stories like 'Unseeing eyes', 'Our perfect family', the series 'The Whitebeard Pirates' Playground',... that are not planned to have an actual ending. Stories will be added to it as long as I have ideas for it. So these are not possible to "finish". They also do not need an ending to read as they are stand alone One-shots. Just in the same universe.
          
          I am very sorry for those only reading on Wattpad, but I know I cannot hold up a promise to keep this platform up to date. Thank you very much for the support and enjoying my stories here!!!!!
          
          I'll keep writing and posting on 'Archive Of Our Own', my profile name on there is 'Shadow22739'.

Hello everyone!!!
          I hope everyone is having a great day! I know that I've disappeared for a while, but I am back! I've been neglecting Wattpad for too long. Thank you very much for everyone who has been reading and enjoying my stories even in my absence!
          I've updated a lot of stories right after each other, so to ensure that nothing gets lost between the multiple notifications, I've made a little summary of where all the updates have happened.
          
          4 updates in 'Dark flames'
          5 updates in 'The Whitebeard pirates' playground'
          2 updates in 'Unseeing eyes'
          2 updates in 'Everlasting ember'
          1 update in 'Shadow's creative exchange'
          
          I hope everyone can enjoy these!!! Have an amazing day!!!

Hello, I just wanted to ask if you gave permission for someone to upload your story of "eyes that don't see" in Spanish, I saw that someone published it and reviewed the description and the first chapter and I didn't see credits

(I have made this a mission to myself to tell my favorite authors how they help my sanity. I don't even know how to start-) 
          
          Hi, Shadow. I'm sure you have seen and replied to my comments on 'A Successful Recruiting?' and 'YOUR OTHER FEET, MARCO!!!' that I have seen your stories as one of my 'emotional supports.' I already liked MarAce, and your crackfics make it even better. Also, you give Thatch his much-needed respect. For this, I see you as one of the greatest authors on Wattpad and hope you strike many views on your stories because they are so underrated. If you're going through anything in your life, remember, you have people that love you. Sincerely, Aria/Cara.

Hello I have been reading all your stories and I must say, I absolutely loved it alot and I am huge fan of your work!!!! It's so fun reading your  stories and it's really cute. I hope your are having a wonderful day because your stories make my day special everytime. So whatever happens you have my full support and bless your kind heart ❤. I will be looking forward for more amazing stories. Take care and be happy!!! 

Thank you to everyone still supporting me!
          
          Besides the whole previous post, thank you for everyone who keeps giving me love and support. 
          
          Those that give likes and leave nice comments. Small comments that are a simple heart or big comments going into details. Comments with questions, speculations, ideas of their own! They all bring me joy to read and give me the motivation needed to continue on and keep up with the story. 
          
          It makes me more firm on not abandoning because I know there’s at least someone somewhere smiling at their screen as they read through a story of mine. Happy when they see it updated again even if it has been long. 
          
          Thank you to those simply reading. Because I know, and even I, don't always leave a like or a comment even if that story deserves it. It isn't all as simple as it seems. But I still know there will be appreciation from a lot that simply read and I thank every single one of you for taking the time to read. To enjoy my stories, or cry with them if they're sad ones.
          
          Thank you to those who are still cheering for me, my stories, even if they aren’t getting the updates they deserve.

As made clear to me by @XX_Blitza_HQ, it seems I have been annoying some people by only updating my story of ‘You’re not Whitebeard’. I had honestly been a little proud of myself to be close to finishing another story, but I realised this is not a shared feeling and I didn’t take others into consideration. Thank you for bringing this up to me and clearing that up.
          
          I apologize that you and others have needed to see so many updates in a row of a story you don’t like. 
          
          I’m doing my best to finish up a few stories I have going on instead of letting unfinished ones pile up. And while I don’t want to abandon even a single one of them, knowing every story has atleast someone waiting for them, it gets difficult to start on some again. Which is why I am working on them one by one to stay in the mindset of that one story and to be able to finish it 
          
          @XX_Blitza_HQ, to your and everyone's luck, there is only 1 more chapter left to post for ‘You’re not Whitebeard’ and then no one will ever need to see an update of this again. 
          
          But, for the next story chosen to work on, yes, there will be more updates in a row again of the same story. I will already apologize that there will be no variation in the story compilation and instead a same story will probably have multiple uploads again. 
          
          Once more I am sorry for the lack of updates on more stories. I wish I could give everyone the updates they’re waiting for, but I can’t.  I will also take this chance to apologize for my absence many times, I hope people can forgive that I cannot write every weekend. 
          
            
          
          PS: I do get it that it gets annoying when you maybe follow the whole compilation for 1 story only, and that that one doesn’t get updated as much as you want. For this I suggest to try out Archive of our own. I am on there with the same username, Shadow22739. All the stories are split up over there, so you can bookmark just the 1 story you like and only get a notification if they specifically update.

Good morning, afternoon or evening, well, I wanted to come to recommend my book that I have in my profile. Originally, I am a Spanish speaker. I don't know if you understand that language. It is not mandatory that you read it alone. It's a recommendation I hope you read it and like it, sorry if it's cringe or doesn't make sense, I promise to improve my spelling, thanks 

Thank you very, very much for all the reactions and love to the stories and series!
          I'm honestly surprised more than one person commented and every single comment was so nice too!
          
          Surprisingly, everything was voted into two's haha. Even Dark flames which was suggested once, I had to count as actually two times since the general 'angst' theme was asked by someone else too.
          
          So, once I've reacted to everyone's comments:
          - I will for today update 2 chapters of Our Perfect Family. Because I've wronged you dear fans of this story by honestly thinking no one was really interested in this one, even if I have a blast writing it with my friend Kawaii_Chibi_Kai1. 
          In the span of the next month, I'll update another 3 chapters for this, completing Austin's adoption.
          
          - I have a story planned that's combining the Omega verse and the vibes of Dark flames. This will be uploaded somewhere throughout the week. (In Dark flames because of the theme.)
          
          - Shiny, I'll try my best to update this one in the next weekend, but should it not work out, I'll still make sure to put an update up before Christmas.
          
          - Lastly, while I'm checking off two requests with one story i'm planning this week, Omega verse and Dark flames. I do feel this new story is not instantly one people would expect. So to be sure the people who requested these themes get a story they were maybe more expecting, I'm putting updating an existing story of these two series on my list of to-do's too. But I can't promise if I can update both of these this month with continuations and both or one of them may get thrown into January. 
          
          
          
          I'm sorry for not updating more stories than one this weekend. But life was mean... as I was driving to friends to celebrate my birthday, my whole car started beeping and overheating and smoke was coming out of the vents and from under the hood while I was in the middle of a huge fast road... And... I was in shock when I finally got home and could relax and just went to bed instead of writing 

!!! Choose your update !!!
          
          I have a lot of stories and series. And every time i update one, i think about the others, 'what of that other story/series is the one someone has been looking forward too to update instead?'.
          So here is your chance!! 
          - What story would you like to see updated?,
          - or maybe there's no specefic story, but a series in general instead?
          - or do you want a full on new story and in what genre would it be???
          Let me know all about what you want!
          
          The deadline for the requests/voting is by the start of this weekend, thus the 10th of december, (my birthday ).
          And only you, the people on Wattpad get a chance for this vote, so no competition on other platforms.
          
          Thank you very much already for joining and the love for the stories!!!
          
          (Ps: there's only so many stories I can update in one weekend, so if a lot of different ones get mentioned, i'll first work on the majority. But this doesn't mean I won't use the other votes to see which ones to update after.)
