Spectral Shadows | comment |
Spectral Shadows is an online web serial that first made its debut on June 5, 2004, originally on Furtopia, and then moving to Live Journal when Furtopia closed it's web hosting service in 2010. It is currently planned as a series of 34 serials, but so far only serial 1 has been completed, with serials 2 and 4 being incomplete and on indefinite hold due to the author having time to keep up with only one serial at a time, and having decided that effort should be focused on Serial 11. The story is written by "Perri Rhoades" with art drawn by traditional media artist Tigers Kitten drawn in a style that is hopefully not too inconsistent with a 1940's Funny Animal comics series.Initially the serial was to follow the adventures of Jonathan and Rael Ommandeer, two anthropomorphic deer who befriended a human, Christine Rhoades James, and the sorts of adventures that they might find exploring various worlds throughout time and space. However, Serial 11 has taken on the additional function of allegorically paralleling news events and the authors personal experiences during the time of writing. The author describes the work as an "Allegorical Sci-Fi and Fantasy Serial" which allows subjects such as politics, music, religion, society, LGBT, internet culture, and many other things to be viewed in a detached and unthreatening theater of exploration. To this end, the author often creates characters to represent two or three sides of a political topic, holding no character's view as more important than the others, but the topic itself will often be reversed so that women's issues become men's issues, or liberal issues become conservative issues, and the reader will then be able to see things from angles that might previously not have been accessible.The author formats the series as a soap opera, taking much inspiration from the format of Dark Shadows, meaning that it has the tendency of soap operas to alternate between multiple plots of numerous characters, but not being restricted to the traditional subject matter of soap operas. This is to be, as the author puts it, "An animated cartoon soap opera." In which talking animals are placed in human situations that may range from simple suburban settings to alien planets and dream dimensions.The settings of the various serials have a knack for being all over the place with seemingly no limitation, from a virtual Role-Playing Game to a planet, Cygnus , that is After the End where half-animal half human creatures rule, with 50 individual towns with their own religions and ways of life based off of various forms of entertainment and media from the Elder Race (Read: Humans) and where females are the dominant gender. Some could say the story is easily both a Sci-Fi Kitchen Sink and a Fantasy Kitchen Sink as well as an Ascended Fanfic.Spectral Shadows also has its own fictional background story behind it, being that it was an Old Time Radio Serial that was from The '40s and is continually being rediscovered and serialized on the internet for modern audiences with elements that were "too strong" for 40's radio drama being added into the story. It's also hinted that the one who originally produced the radio show was actually an alien who traveled to Earth and was incorporating autobiographical elements into the series.You can read Spectral Shadows either on its official Live Journal page[1], or on Blogspot [2]. Now has its own wiki [3]. And now has its own Shout-Out Page. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
Spectral Shadows / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: Don't think being important will save you. by serial 11 we learn that Raelian is dead, though he is reincarnated as Sir Jon's son, Perry Rhoades. Christine James learns that she is to die in her own time period shortly after her arrival on Cygnus. In addition, seeing as serial 2 takes place in The Aslander School of Magic, a virtual roleplaying game, this should come as no surprise. Especially since you will respawn the next day, provided you have at least one life. Which can only be obtained by killing another player. | |

Bloodier and Gorier: Serial 2 is this, especially in comparison to serial 1. Sure, there was some violence in serial 1, but as the Serial Index on the Live Journal page tells us, serial 1 is only rated G, while 2 is rated PG for violence. Serial 11 also is a little more violent, especially since we get to see the effects of Red Rain, the genetic weapon that nearly killed all life on Cygnus, via a dream sequence. It isn't pretty. | |

Character Development: Rael, Jon, Christine, Vicki, Kacey, Ratzo, Clover Lappina, heck any named character has a fair chance at eventually undergoing this. Lappina even got to the point where she confessed all her crimes to Ratzo DiCaro, a Norian Detective. To the Noiran religion, this is akin to a sinner fully disclosing all sins to a clergyman. Keep in mind that Lappina used to be a gang member. | |

Spectral Shadows / int_511728ae | comment |
Magic Versus Science: The series seems to follow this at points (or at least, some characters subscribe to this belief), but it's eventually subverted as characters that use magic (like Sir Jon and Christine) reveal that magic is actually just another science in of itself. | |

Gratuitous Japanese | |
Spectral Shadows / int_5558641 | comment |
Gratuitous Japanese: There's a decent amount of names of either characters or races that mean something in Japanese. For example, there's Kitsune in Serial 1; Ra's full given title is Taiyo Kami-Sama, and "Kami-Sama" is how the Japanese refer to the Christian God (supposedly). Then there's Princess Lumira, from the planet Urusei, which means "Obnoxious" in Japanese. | |

This applies to Perry Rhoades who was the author's original self-insert This also applies to Kacey who appears to be going through situations mirroring the author's own life. | |

The Reveal | |
Spectral Shadows / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: Usually with who someone was in a past life. Especially during mating dreams in Serial 11 (Mating dreams are essentially dreams or visions one has while joined with a mate. They can either be memories or just dreams, but the main characters tend to get either their own memories or memories from a past life as a vision); During Christine and Perry's join, it's revealed that Vicki is the reincarnation of Melinda the unicorn, and Perry is a reincarnation of Sir Jon's brother, Rael; later down the road we see Kacey is a reincarnation of Kimmy, someone Christine used to love back on Cygnus, as well as Jock Walsh's past life. And that Christine was in love with the past lives of Vicki and Kacey. The author certainly loves making things complex. | |

Film Noir: In Serial 11's Cygnus there's a town named Noir, which takes its religion and way of life after old film noir gangster shows. They emulate this even down to the cars that are used; despite every other town using solar power, Noire uses gas-powered cars because they didn't have gas powered cars back in those times. | |

Abusive Parents: Harrison James was this to a degree to Christine when she was younger. Over in Serial 11 there's Princess Jenny from the town of Webberton. Her mother could arguably be this. Also over in Serial 11 we have Kacey Caddell's parents, who don't care much for their child and may have actually partaken in cases to have Kacey terminated as per Suburbia's status quo. Kara Collins' mother, who seems all too content to let her daughter be brainwashed and married off to Blair Montgomery. Her father is a subversion of this (at least for now). | |

Digital Avatar: Serial 2 is said to be taking place on some kind of virtual roleplaying game, so there are characters that aren't actually animal characters in real life, but rather just play one online; examples include Christine James, who plays a red fox, and Russel, a human who plays a blue and white rabbit who got into the game simply because he likes furry women. Second Life knock off Another Life over in serial 11 is also full of these. | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive: Blair Montgomery in serial 11 qualifies.
