Side Stories



This site is..

Based on an original story and alternate future by Sonny & Ais called In the Company of Shadows.


Suggestions...

Are perfectly welcome! If you have something you're interested in seeing that isn't here, please feel free to contact us and we'll see if it's something we can write.


Please note:

If what you suggest is actually part of future plot we obviously probably won't be writing it as a side story. Also, depending on how awesome and prolific people are about suggestions, we may just not be able to get to it while we're also trying to write the story itself.

But hey, that could be where fanfics come in...

This page: 3/12/07 by Ais. The stories: varying dates by Sonny & Ais.

This is a collection of side stories and back stories. As it says on the sidebar, suggestions are always welcome. This page is pretty small right now but it should grow with time as we try to write more.
