I've done a lot on this site, even if I haven't written about it in the news, I promise! i've added a lot of pictures, videos and character-facts... And I'll keep updating!
22:03 - 27th may 2011
I'm so productive, lol. Since the last update which was three hours ago, I've fixed the origins-thing. It's all gathered on ONE page (Take a look, it's crazy!). I've also put all the chapters into one file which is nowdownloadable -here-. Want to know how many pages? eh? I'll tell you... 73! And that's in fontsize 10 on a4-format... phew. I never thought I could write that much, in less than a year!
This calls for a celebration! Eh.. Have a virtual cookie and a hug from Abeo!
18:42 - 27th may 2011
Added Jocundra's Thumbnail and revised the whole character-section+added a couple characters. Turns out I can't add more than 20 pages on freewebs, so I realised I won't be able to have a page for each of the characters. I'll also put the whole Origins into one page to safe space. It'll be fun to see how long that'll be... >_< I'll also fix the other thumbnails eventually, and add missing characters.
..also.. changed font...
yes.
01:44 - 26th may 2011
Added a new thumbnail for Abeo on the character-page that totally doesn't fit the other thumbnails... hopefully I'll get the rest edited soon! And add Jocundra... haha.
16:17 - 22nd May 2011
Added "Shadowtainted - Part 1 (storyboard)" to the Story-section.
Removed 22 of the 28 shoutboxes in the Origins to save space. Thanks and sorry to all of you who had your comments brutally wiped off the face of the earth and don't feel sad, I still love you and your lovely, helpful comments! .......that was all.
Also fixed the disconnected titles in Origins as well.
And I'm working on the second storyboard :)
01:28 - 17th May 2011
Hey guys, big changes here! *clears throat*
1. I'm going to start over.
2. I'm renaming the story you currently know as "The Shadowtainted" to "Origins of The Shadowtainted"
3. I'm making a new story called "The shadowtainted"
WHAT THE...
-what? The new story will be presented through storyboards. It starts where Origins ended, but is it's own separate story.
-why? Storyboarding is a medium I'm more comfortable with. Writing is slow and I don't like it very much. Storyboarding is more fun for me and will probably be more fun for others to watch. Also there are so many things I would like to change in the story, I thought it would be best if I just started over. The new story is not so long and hopefully it will make the characters and the story itself more interesting.
-when? I've already finished the first storyboard. It took one week to finish, just as long as one chapter.
-where? All updates will come to this page. You don't have to move an inch!
To you who have read the story: The new story will be centered about Abeo slowly revealing what happened to her earlier in her life. Don't spoil the fun for others, and I'm really sorry to you who have read it and won't be able to watch and enjoy the storyboards like everyone else. I've probably spoiled the entire experience for you, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Since I'm going to change a few things and all, please consider Origins as a separate story, and the main story just loosely based on it. It is really just a sketch, a concept, a story to make it easier for me to develop the main story and it's characters. It might be confusing, but it's for the best. Hopefully.
So to all of you: Don't think about the written story. Scratch everything, and enjoy the new shadowtained.
So where does "The shadowtainted" start now?
The video "Shadowtainted - Part 1 (storyboarded)" is the beginning of it all now.
If you're new, watch that FIRST OF ALL.
Thank you for being so patient, I hope it'll be worth your while!
02:37 - 12th January 2011
So, next chapter is here! Chapter 27 - Abeo's Dark-Eyed Twin.
I'll spoil something for you... Abeo finally gets out of the tunnel! But.. in the right place..?
I made a chart-like thing of Abeo/Novo/Cruentus where their size and body-shape is compared and all. I also drawed a picture of Novo's father, Otho! They're all in the Gallery!
02:23 - 27th October 2010
Hey look, 24 hours and two minutes since last update! x) Just uploaded the next chapter, Chapter 24, "Submission". I also have chapter 25- "Jacundra" ready, but it needs a little clean up before I'll upload it. Also it gives you some time with this chapter before throwing in another one. i'm going to tell you what happens though... Abeo finally gets out from the tunnel! Now the fun part is starting! No more dark and depressive! Well, not in a while, at least ;P
oh and also! Look in the video-section, there's a new little sketchy animation!
Yikes, I have four hours to sleep before school starts.. Good night!
02:21 - 26th October 2010
Wow... I'm so late. But let me explain! *clears throat*
Since august, I've been living in the new apartment with Katte, my Best freend. :3 For some reason, the internet didn't work on mac's, only on PC's. This was very frustrating, and made my only option was borrow Katte's PC, which I hate to do because I don't like borrowing stuff again and again... I know. But; it is also a very slow computer. No offense Katte! XD
I did also have internet at school, but it is freakishly bad. I can stay online maximum 15 minutes, usually shorter. And it takes hideous amounts of time to just load a page, even more log in somewhere. So uploading chapters was hard. But as you see from the two latest updates, I tried.
But I can't blame it all on the internet.
Since i started at school we started getting some big projects, and I've been uploading parts of them on deviantArt (links in the About me-section). Those were really big projects that demanded very much of my time, and when I was finally done for that for the day I was too tired to start writing and stuff(I have drawn a few sketches, keep you eye out!).
But I have gotten three chapters done, which I'm uploading now. Two today, one tomorrow. I still have two more I should do though, If I am to keep up with the schedual. I'll try! D:
It will be easier now because.... I have internet in the apartment now! Fixed it earlier today, and it's fantastic! *runs around screaming and waving arms*
Now I can scan things in directly from my mac and upload without using USB's or E-mails and cables and logging in and out everywhere!
HOORRAH! MORE DRAWINGS!
But it's late now. I should really go to bed. I'll write more tomorrow.
tata!

14:24 - 23 september 2010
Hey people, I'm really sorry about the extreme lateness of the latest chapters, but I have big problems accessing the internet. I only have it at school, where I am right now... I should be working... Anyways, here are the chapters for the last three weeks, which I have written but haven't had the chance to publish :C BUT they're here now, so read read read!
Chapter 19-21
12:29 - 3rd september 2010
Meh, I know, late again. I don't have internet at home, if I had I would have uploaded in time :C Now I'm at school, hoping the teacher won't spot I'm not working! So, here's the next chapter, Chapter 18 - "Swallowed by the mountain".
14:02 - 27th of august 2010
My! has it been 17 days? How can that be? That's just... Really bad! I have had so much to do, moving to a new place and starting on a new school and all. Also I only have internet at school now. So now I'm at school...
Somehow I managed to get the chapters written, so I'm still on schedual, though a bit late... Now I'll have to get the next chapter ready by monday or I'm gonna be very, very annoyed...
KAY: Click HEEERE for Chapter 16 and 17!
17:45 - 10th of August 2010
I'm late again on the next chapter... But now I have two chapters ready, so the next one will be up early next monday! :)
Here it is, Chapter 15 - "Wrapped in Mist"! I'm trying to think outside the box when it comes to chapter names... Anyways this is one of the chapters I've been looking forward to making. And just wait for chapter 16, you get to know WHY Cruentus became a murderer. Aaand also maybe surprise in the end... Come on, read! Read!
23:40 - 3rd of August 2010
Ugh, sorry about the belated next chapter! Here it is, Chapter 14 - Escape
I would also like to show you this, it's a picture of Carita fighting the Elasmotheriums, or "unicorns". The paper screwed it up, but I like it anyways... you think I should upload it to deviantArt anyways?
01:02 - 26th of July 2010
New banner!
19:37 - 25th of July 2010
Made references for Aerauferor and Cursor (in the gallery, in the "other"-album), and tried to clean up the gallery. I'm not too sure it helped...
20:47 - 21st of July 2010
My lovely scanner inspired me to make the reference sheet for Lacuna! You'll find it in the Gallery under 'Lacuna' or in Lacuna's character section.
01:07 - 20th of July 2010
Whew, seems I'm never on time when it comes to uploading the chapters on time...But here's the next chapter!
Chapter 12 - "Drops of Rain".
I've also got around to uploading Carita's reference, and also a sketch of The Secus, just for fun :) You'll find them in the gallery! I finally got the scanner to work on the mac, yayness! Maybe you'll see some more sketches from now on!
02:37 - 13th July 2010
Chapter 11 - "It's hopeless" Is now out! I kind of like this one, I hope you will too! :D
Sorry it's late, but this week i've been working 7 hours each day and being on concerts or sleeping the rest of the day... So I only had sunday and monday to write mostly... IM SO F*CKING TIRED
BUT good news! I've been accepted into the school I wanted to go to! That school where my best friend is going! Next year will be awesome!! 8D
18:44 - 5th July 2010
Heya, new Chapter today! Chapter 10 - "The river claims a life"
I'm not gonna tell you very much... Just read ;)
Is currently animating... I hope I'll get something done to show you soon!
23:49 - 1st July 2010
Hello! Added Memoria & Sententia and Aerauferor's Character page! They don't have a thumbnail/refernce yet because I'm lazy :( But you can reach them by clicking the drop-down in the main-bar! I should probably make some character pages for the humans too... oh well, later.
Currently working on chapter 10... Get ready to read on monday! :D
04:07 - 29th of June
Hey!
Sorry for uploading so late, hopefully no one was hurt... I was busy busy busy cutting the lawn and baking brownies all day..... Also I stayed up laaate and re-wrote the whole 9th chapter... But here it is, finally!
Chapter 9 - "To Stain With Blood"
Hope you'll find it interesting!
19:13 - 25th of June
Surprise!
I have some extra chapters ready right now, so I thought you could as well get the next chapter as a little weekend-gift! I hope you wont be too busy to read it ;) (There will of course still be another chapter on monday!)
Chapter 8 - "broken silence"
Also I'm celebrating that I've finally started my summer holidays! I'm hoping I might get the whole story done at the end of the summer, though I doubt it.. But I will try!
Unluckily what happens to Abeo and her family in this chapter is nothing to celebrate... Come on, start reading guys!
13:52 - 15th of June 2010
I rearranged the story section, now each five chapters have their own page! Having it all on one page would have looked messy and overwhelming... I hope this is better, and as easy to navigate as the old version. I may make some buttons later, but that can wait. If you have any suggestions feel free to share! Guestbook
01:38 - 6th of June 2010
Now that I've gotten a pretty good start to the story, I've decided to put up a new chapter each monday ONLY. This way I put a bit more pressure on myself, as well as it makes it more... Lucid, and gives people something to do on mondays.... Makes it more exciting too, I believe! AAND it makes it possible for me to write more chapters at once and take some weeks off to animate or draw... :)
22:02 - 1st of June 2010
Chapter IV - "One Emergency after another" is up! Click here to read it! This time Carita's the one in trouble...
The story is now downloadable! This makes it easier to print or read it offline whenever you want. :)
Also I've uploaded a new really short video, you can see it in the video section...
22:33 - 18th of May - 2010
Hey! Today I fixed the character description site, so now their pages are all nice and has a lot of new info. I also drew a growth-chart of Abeo, plus some old references to Carita, Cruentus and Lacuna! (you can find them here)
Also uploaded an aimated clip of Carita just turning her head...
Chapter 2 will probably come sometime later this week! :)
Cheers from Panthera Sonya!
4:33 - 16th of May - 2010
Finally finished chapter one - "Some species of naked bird?" Click HERE to read it!
It's a long chapter, but a lot happens! I hope you will have as much fun reading it as I had writing it! Hey, I even made super-awesome headlines for the chapters! Oh yeah! Hopefully I'll get a proper title made too... I added a little "before you read"-section too... Thought it was on it's place :)
Added a guestbook. I forgot that earlier, c'mon, comment now! :D Now I can start linking my dA-drawings up to my page for the story! Can't wait to see how this develops! *is happy and really, really tired*
It's 17th of may tomorrow, the Norwegian constitution day... I have to get up in 5 hours. Good freaking night.
7th of May - 2010
Uploaded the prologue! Click HERE to read it!
