Chapter 1 of Volume 5 is out with more on the way! Happy Reading!

God, it's been a while, hasn't it...
          Sorry 'bout that, holmes.
          I do apologize for the lack of update, but the long and short of it is, my day job has kept me rather busy, and with the coming holidays...
          Let's just say that the service industry is a hell of a time.
          Lack of motivation and copious amounts of procrastination have slowed down my writing endeavours to levels I find personally disappointing. Sadly, I can't really change it since, you know, I have to work for a living. In any case, as consolation, I'll be releasing the currently finished chapters over the course of this week and the next.
          Happy holidays, and godspeed.

          Ps: I'm halfway through Volume 5. god help me make it before the end of the year ;_;

Progress Update: V5E4 is done, as well as four character-specific Apocrypha Chapters detailing what the RWBY girls have been up to. I've also started the last Apocrypha (for a while) about the Rogue's Gallery of my story.
          
          Happy Reading and Godspeed!

Hey, I hope you're doing all right!

Just a progress update on An Anon's Journey to say that Volume 5 Episodes 1-2-3 are finished and waiting for final revision once V5 wraps up and that E4 is in the beginning stages of writing. All of V5 is mapped out and I've begun brainstorming and outlining V6. 
          
          That is all, Godspeed and Happy Reading!

The final Apocrypha of V4 is done and dusted! Now I just have to write my way around possibly the slowest volume in RWBY with some of the more contentious writing in the series, to put it mildly.
          Well, better than a sh*t sandwich.
          See you in, like, three months and Happy Reading!

I AM FREE!
          for like a month, and then I'm back in class.
          fuck.
          
          All jokes aside, I actually have free time now to recuperate and write. the last Apocrypha before V5 proper should come out, at least, by the end of my vacation. It's amazing how unmotivated one becomes when they have to wake up at 4:30 in the morning and then do an eight-ish hour shift with a one-and-a-half hour total of commuting time, not counting traffic.
          
          How truly fucking amazing.
          
          Anyhow, have an Apocrypha in the meantime. Godspeed and happy reading!

And thus, Volume 4 is finished!
          I apologize for the gaps in the schedules of one per day, I'm currently in an exam season at my trade school and it completely slipped my mind on more than open occasion.
          In any case, there are two more Apocryphas in the works, one of them just needs final editing before sending it. once that's done, V5 will be in the works.
          That's it from me, Godspeed and Happy Reading!

Rooster Teeth is dead. And I, for one, am not surprised
          . 
          To be completely honest, I knew this would happen eventually, what with Warner Brothers's (Rooster Teeth's parent company) previous waves of layoffs and cutting off of unprofitable ventures back in the 2020s. That and Rooster Teeth's general lowering of the qualities of their shows did not help at all. (The RWBY X DC crossover was a dead giveaway that things were NOT going well. Crossovers are generally attempts to generate either Hype or Engagement, neither of which happened on that project.)
          
          Volume 9 did not do well (By WB standards, a MASSIVE company), and neither did The RWBY X DC crossover or Red VS Blue's most recent season. The less said about Gen: Lock, the better. With that many failures, it's not a shock that Warner was going to, At best, fold RT into Warner's animation studios or, at worst and what seems to be what's actually happening, completely shut down the whole circus.
          
          Now, what does this mean for RWBY, RvB and G:L?
          
          That's gonna depend.
          
          As long as Rooster Teeth does not write off these shows as a Tax Loss, the IPs can be used again, whether for Reboots, sequels, etc. (It's all legal nonsense, it's the same reason why shows like MEGAS XLR can't be rebooted or continued, it now belongs to the government and we all know they are not interested in making cartoons.) It doesn't seem like that's going to happen, so fingers crossed.
          
          Now... What about fanfics...
          
          I actually think it's gonna be fine, Fanfics are, after all, fan and community-driven projects, so as long as fans exist, there will be content.
          
          As for me, Anon's Journey (and RWBY Rewritten before it) was just my attempt at fixing a story I've grown discontent with. If anything, I'm going to go even more off-piste than I already was. Any plans RT could have had in mind will not matter for my story. I will finish it but I'll probably end up remaking it with brand new characters.
          
          Godspeed RT, thanks for the inspiration and Farewell.
