AUTHOR'S NOTES
Hello everyone, thanks for reading I am the Shadow, a Mass Effect Fanfiction! This is my very first fanfiction, so it's not perfect. But thanks for staying with me anyway. The story is about a third of the way done (I am planning to finish it in chapter 50 or thereabouts).
I apologise if it sounds similar to Mass Effect 2 storyline. I tried various other plots, but none of them gave me the flexibility that I wanted – the leader of my story had to have a ship to move around freely across the galaxy, and there had to be team-gathering or else I couldn't think of any other interesting story. It will be different though, I promise!
I have planned an ending for this story, and I've got a rough idea on how to connect the ending and where we are. If you've got any ideas, then please feel free to send me a message! Especially if you have any idea on how to recruit a Hanar and a Krogan. That's giving me headaches.
I've done quite a bit of work trying to tie together the actual Mass Effect canon into the story. If you pick any character or past event described in the fanfiction, you'll find that it matches well with the Mass Effect main story. The only thing that's drastically made up is HIGHCOM (and yes, the name comes from Halo series, backstory being that Admiral Han is a Halo fan and didn't bother to change the name once HIGHCOM got big), but even HIGHCOM's history fits rather well with the events in Mass Effect.
Thanks again for reading I am the Shadow!
***UPDATE***
I will be posting about one chapter per week from now on.
