Hello everyone. I apologize for the delay in submitting new chapters - I've been busy with numerous items, some being family matters, other ideas I'm working on, and just plain work. However, I've been working on this story whenever I can, even when I had some cases of writer's block. Still, since it is unfair of me to keep you waiting, I figured I'd at least leave an update for you and a heads up on what is to come.
First off, while you wait patiently (or impatiently) for the next chapter, I'll leave you guys with something to do. As you know, this story has its own cover image; as of right now, it is very hard to see. Plus, I am not the greatest artist in the world. As such, I'm offering a challenge of sorts to any great drawers out there: if you can create a movie-style poster of Sonic 06 in terms of this story (meaning it shows the main characters with the title) and has color, leave a comment with a link to your idea (or you may PM me). By the time I finish Shadow's story, hopefully many of you will have sent me your ideas. From the ideas submitted by then, I will chose one and give credit to the artist. Best of luck!
Next up, one new addition that I plan to release alongside the first chapter of Shadow's story is the first of what I call a "Hidden Truth." While these chapters may seem odd at first, my hope is that they will make sense as we progress through the story. There will be one for each hero.
Also, we are now approaching the 'fun' aspects of Sonic 06's story, that being Shadow and Silver. This will make publishing chapters a little more complicated given balancing old and new ideas and fixing the issues with the original story of the game. At the very least, I have incorporated a few unused lines from the game into this story, and I have a new approach to the ending of Silver's story already figured out. In addition, I will say that Shadow's story is the most structurally sound of the three heroes, so his won't involve much tweaking, but rather additions to make it more exciting.
Lastly, I'll leave you with a list of the upcoming chapters of Shadow's story. Until next time!
