Hello dear friends!

I wanted to advise some of my readers! I'm sorry, but I'm just not inspired to write for RWBY. That initial flare isn't there anymore. I will keep up the stories, and I might return to some of them... Ideally Lost, and MAYBE Forlorn.

I wanted to give you some insight into how/why this is. For the longest time, I was friends with a group of fanfic authors whom we called ourselves Fellowship, whom I love very dearly... they encouraged me to write some of my best work, and I'm truly indebted to them. Heck, they helped me through the darkest moments in my life.

Yet, we had a falling out, or I guess I had a falling out. Not anything on their part, I just wasn't in the right mental space to be in a group of people, and with work and other drama, I truly did not have a sense of self... I had no motivation to write... and in my bout of depression. I left. That was about... oh, I don't know... 3 months ago? Give or take. I'm bad with time.

I have nothing but respect for these dear friends of mine, but I had to go through the dessert to find myself and to be comfortable with who I am... that being said, during that time, I didn't have much inspiration to write.

Concurrently, I was in the middle of revamping Forlorn, my baby, my precious, my project, lol. I was working on it with another dear friend, and there was a falling out that kind of shook me bad, and I had no motivation to Forlorn, and with Fellowship, I had to take several steps back and reassess what I wanted. What I needed to write about.

I don't mean to get cheesy, but I need to explain where this is coming from. I was in a bad place, and I wasn't doing so hot, especially with COVID times hitting us real hard. It was getting to me... and I was lost. And the old saying, "God came knocking," is very true. So I'm Catholic, I'm sure you could tell from my writing, but I came across Saint Jeanne d'Arc, Joan of Arc, who I emphatically dare to declare with no reservation, and rejoice at any mockery thrown at me, is my patron Saint and Heavenly sister from this day until the end of days (As is St. Therese the Little Flower)

She helped me see where and what I was... and I didn't like that, and by the Grace of God, and with her help, she helped me breakthrough it, ya know. I no longer had a desire to write and explore the themes I was going into with most of my RWBY stories. The anger, the malice, that was an old version of me that Saint Jeanne was like, "Mate, you are better than this... So write something better!"

Then I started to guide myself to Fate... I wanted something more concrete, more historic... more pure and good in nature, you know? And those old stories I was writing were not going to be a happy ending. Those old stories were a way for me to release that pent-up anger, sorrow... and I just wanted to stop.

So that's why I'm writing this now. I'm clearing the air with all of you, and I want to thank each and every one of you for joining me on this crazy couple of years, from starting to college to this day.

I am currently focusing and dedicating most of my time on good works on St. Jeanne and a few others planned. I get it, it's a bit religious in nature, but I also want to make it exciting. I have started a new Fate story called La Pucelle, Maid of Heaven, which, even though it is in the "Fate" universe, has nothing to do with the Fate series. Rather is the historical narrative of St. Joan of Arc's life, reconstructed and dramatized through historical research and other forms of art that explores and honors her memory and name. This is my baby now. If you would like, you can most certainly follow me there, and some of the more recent Fate Stay Order stories.

As far as I know, RWBY Conquest is being worked on by another author.

Corrupted is also, I believe, being picked up by another author.

As for Forlorn- I'm sorry to say this, but I cannot keep working on it with good conscience, and I'm very much on the fence on keeping on the site.

All the other RWBY stories are up for grabs. While I would like to continue Lost, I just don't know if I can.

So this is where I'm at with things. If you don't wish to follow me anymore, I totally understand. I appreciate you and your support. If you wish to continue to read my writing, but with different experiences, follow me on La Pucelle- if you're worried about learning anything about the fate universe, let me reassure you, there's none of that, really lol.

If you follow me, unfollow me, whatever, I want to tell all of you, each and every person that I love all of you from the bottom of my heart. May Saint Jeanne d'Arc and Saint Therese watch over all of you.

I am, and will always be your most humble and faithful servant,

Sauron
