So yeah, your worst fears have come true. This story is now discontinued. Those of you who followed me from the beginning will remember that I was choosing to skip most of Ruby's early life in the galaxy just so then I wouldn't burn myself out writing. As it turns out that was a mistake. As I went on writing and referencing things in her past, things changed; Ideas, people and whole concepts changed dramatically. The problem was I would keep on referencing things like Agaus. To you readers it would have seemed solid enough, but me the idea was still fluid because it wasn't written down and set in stone. Same thing with a bunch of other key plot points in her past. I felt that I didn't have that solid platform to stand on, and as I went on it undermined me constantly. I was always second guessing myself and it always got me down thinking how I was going to make things work. This all came to a head when I was finishing up chapter just didn't make sense to me anymore. As I was looking back and trying to find a way to make it work I finally decided to fuck it.
I was burned out trying to make this work.
I'm done writing this story.

So I decided to rewrite it. Set myself up with a good solid platform of plot that I can use as an anchor for when I'm getting deeper into Ruby's character and her experiences. It won't be a full rewrite, Oum knows how long that will take. No, I feel that everything past chapter 3 is recyclable, it's the beginning and her past that I need to work on. Originally I was just going to rewrite the first 3, but as I got more into it, expanding certain things, 3 chapters became 7. Of course I can't just fit that in here, it would mess up everything. So, as much as it kills me to lose that review, follower and favourite count, I'm going to delete Commander Rose and replace it with a newer and better version. I'm still polishing up everything, making it all fit so when it does go live I can have rapid fire updates until we get back to ch 20.
Thank you for sticking with me for this long guys, and thank you so much for supporting me with your comments and criticism. Hopefully I'll get the first new chapter up in a week or so.
