One Man’s Trash Is Another’s Treasure

by GuardianArtemis

After Summer Rose’s demise, Taiyang and Qrow were always drunk and Yang was barely around, leaving Ruby on her own. Six years ago Ruby Rose ran away, got caught up in a robbery, and became a criminal known to most as “Red”.

30. REWRITE

IMPORTANT! Please read. REWRITING STORY

Heya. I realize you all really hate the direction that the story has started going, and I'm honestly with you. There were several things I'm not happy with in the beginning of OMTIAT, and I see that this is the perfect time to start fresh. So instead of ignoring your anger and carrying on, I'm doing what would have been saved for V3's end (and the planned end of the story) and rewriting it.

It'll still be OMTIAT, I swear. Its just a few changes will be happening for plot and designs. I realize there's so much that's bad about the story, and I'm going to do the story right this time. No killing off beloved characters, no mysterious plot details never brought up again, no characters coming from nowhere, no ships with Ruby. I will say Apollyon will be staying BUT we talked it over with a friend of mine over Discord and we're implementing him PROPERLY this time. We've reworked his character and hopefully you'll approve of him.

Currently we're still discussing how to go from here and what else will be changed, but you can count on a few things.

1) Ruby will stay as a bad guy. No redemptions because those ruin these types of stories.

2) Drei will (obviously) be staying as a part of the story.

3) Ruby, Roman, and Neo will stay as a family, with the addition of Apollyon.

4) We WILL listen to your voices. If a bunch of you hate what we do to a chapter, SPEAK OUT! We'll gladly rework the chapter if its not to your satisfaction and the changes made will not majorly impact the storyline.

Thank you all so much for speaking out. I won't be offended by your reviews. They opened my eyes that you guys weren't happy with the story and it was time to push the rewrite. You're all amazing, and are what drive me to write!

What will happen from here

This note will stay up, and when the first chapter of the rewrite is posted, I will be removing all previous chapters. If some of you don't want to read anymore in fear that we can't change our ways to your liking, its fine and we all hope you enjoyed the story.

Thank you guys so much! We love you!
