* {{Matriarchy}}: In serial 11 the dominant gender on planet Cygnus are the females. This is specifically a {{Patriarchy Flip}}, since males are treated as being less than females, are not the dominant gender, and even politically females have more power, even if there is a male and female king and queen of a town.

* {{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. [[{{HighOctaneNightmareFuel}} It isn't pretty.]]

* {{Interfaith Smoothie}}: According to the Q&A Page on the Live Journal page, the Omman Faith (practiced by a good number of main characters) is composed of the author's experience with Christian Science and other metaphysical religions.



* {{Sadly Mythtaken}}: This happens quite a bit on Cygnus with their different {{Intellectual Property Religion}}s. This even happens with characters in-universe, as Christine finds that the Camelodians, who view her family as prophets to their very pro-military religion, would kill her as a false prophet if they found she differed from their idealized version of herself.

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.

'''Spectral Shadows''' is an online web serial that first made its debut on its Live Journal page on June 5, 2004. Currently planned for 34 parts, but so far only serial 1 has been completed, with serial 2 being incomplete and on indefinite hold, and serial 11 being the current "active serial". The story is written by {{Furry Fandom}} author Perri Rhoades, and most art for the serial is drawn by artist Tigers Kitten Creations. The story follows the adventures of Jonathan and Rael Ommandeer, two anthropomorphic deer who befriend Christine Rhoades James, and the sorts of adventures that they take on throughout all of space and time. The series is said to be an "Allegorical Sci-Fi and Fantasy Serial", often making some sort of commentary on some facet of life - be it politics, music, religion, society - and containing a whole bunch of in-jokes and references to various mediums and genres, from {{Anime}} to {{Progressive Rock}}. The story has a knack for getting into all sorts of crazy scenarios, from a virtual {{Role Playing Game}} [[{{TheMatrix}}that your mind goes into allowing you to learn powers and techniques at the cost of feeling all kinds of pain, even death,]] to a planet, [[{{Rush}} Cygnus]] , that is {{After The End}} where [[{{FunnyAnimals}}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 [[{{Matriarchy}} females are the dominant gender]]. Some could say the story is easily both a {{Scifi Kitchen Sink}} and a {{Fantasy Kitchen Sink}}.

*{{Power Glows}}: This happens to Christine an awful lot in Serial 11 when she uses her healing powers extensively. Her fur turns to a golden color and angel wings seem to appear.

* {{Scifi Kitchen Sink}}: much like the aforementioned Fantasy Kitchen Sink, there's a whole lot of scifi elements, from time travel, to mechas, an intergalactic internet that spans space and time, an evil galactic empire controlled by Space Pirates, mad scientists, and a planet populated by creatures that are half animal half human (with some that are more animal than human, and vice-verse).

* {{Digital Avatar}}: Serial 2 is said to be taking place on some kind of virtual roleplaying game called The Aslander School of Magic, 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.

Interestingly enough, Spectral Shadows has its own fictional story behind it, being an [[{{RadioDrama}} Old Time Radio Serial]] that was from {{The Forties}} 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 (and believe us when we say there's a lot of that). It's also hinted that the one who originally introduced this story was actually a character from the story itself who traveled to the human world.
