Remnants · 5:27pm Jul 16th, 2019
So. This is something that I've thought about for some time now.
Back when I started Remnants, I was going through a tough time. Health issues were abundant. I was having seizures. I nearly had to drop out of school because I was missing so much. Then my aunt and my stepdad died, and that brought about the worst depression I've had. Remnants was my way of letting out all my frustrated feelings. And I did that by taking the world of My Little Pony, and taking characters from RWBY - two shows with vastly different tones - and covering the story in as much blood as possible.
I never intended for Remnants to get so popular. It was my first story to hit it big. And I gotta admit, the attention was terrifying. But I soldiered on through, because I needed my outlet. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy working on the story. But overtime, as my feelings got slightly better and the shows progressed, I honestly felt that Remnants wasn't needed anymore.
So my will to press on with the story was minimal. I wanted to tell the story, but the outlet wasn't making me feel better anymore. Now that I was years removed from the mindset the story had been created in, Remnants wasn't making me feel better. It was making me worse. And now, with the recent passing of my mother, I think it is even more important for me to step down.
If you look on Remnants' story page, you'll see that it is no loner under my account. It is now instead run by my friend and editor, Soren Mercer. He has been a major driving force behind the story. I guarantee that without him, Remnants wouldn't have been as good and it wouldn't have lasted this long.
I'll be providing him with my outline for the rest of the story, and I'll be there to help him if he needs it. But other than that, my involvment with Remnants is done. Thank you all for your support, and for making these last few years fantastic.

I see. Well, I appreciate all the hard work you've put into Remnants, and I'll stick around to see what Soren does with it. Your health and feelings obviously take precedence.
I'm happy that the story was moved on to a trusted friend/fellow writer, and I hope you have your feelings settled in life, stay safe and follow a happy duck. Quake, quake!
