"Hello readers. Eltnum here, assistant editor of Cross Tag Character Collision. The following chapter is a message by Ruby Rose on behalf of the author. With that said, I hope you enjoy."
Ruby Rose was sitting in the author's wheelie chair, her legs kicking out impatiently as she stared at the camera in front of her. She licked her lips as she looked at the lens. "Is it working now?" she wondered.
"Yeah," Ragna replied, sitting by the computer console. "So, why am I here again?"
"We get more negative backlash the less time you're on screen," Ruby replied.
"I feel that's an exaggeration," Ragna said.
"We'll see," Ruby said.
"Anyway, hello everybody! So, our author has come to report something he deems as being fairly important that he wanted to bring by you guys in the hopes of getting more feedback than he had in his Author's Note in the previous chapter."
"He needs help and responses. He currently has a poll going on that you can see on his profile page where you can make your vote in response to the question he's posed. To put it simply, it's you guys telling the author which series you would rather see as part of a RWBY crossover or novel series, hence why I'm the one reporting this."
"Yeah," Ragna agreed, "and not because you're his favorite character or anything."
"Quiet you!" Ruby said. "Ahem. Sorry about that."
"I won't bother saying which series we can crossover with, as you can check out the poll for yourself and cast your vote! But I will say, if you don't even want us to crossover with anything you can vote for that too!"
"This is mainly because of the number of requests our author has gotten in the past for writing a more plot-driven, ongoing series and our author's own hopes of writing something like this in the past. And since RWBY is, little known fact, a very big part of his inspiration for writing, he wanted to start with that. Namely in a crossover format since, that's also a big part of his early writing history."
"Now don't you worry! For those that wanted to see a more plot-driven series based on BBTAG, he still intends to do that too. But those are there, and this is here. If you catch my drift."
"Now it goes without saying, shilling out like this was something the author didn't want to do. But it's been over a week and he's gotten little to no actual feedback on that! So, this was our next best bet for getting some feedback."
"So once again, please cast your vote by checking out the poll on TheViewer-X's main page. It really would mean a lot and help our author out a lot to know what you guys would like to read."
"Mention the Q&A!" Ragna said.
"Oh, right!" Ruby remembered. "And if you guys have any Q&A questions, feel free to leave those in the reviews of this story."
"Thank you all so much! We really do appreciate your help! See you next time!"
A/N: She said it, not me.
