Same! I haven't updated any of my fics since June, although I have been working on one, just trying to find the motivation to finish it!

I don't mean necessarily make Scarlet trans, but perhaps have him either a kind of flambouyant gay male character, or a butch lesbian (although if Scarlet really is/was a girl, the FTM transgender would probably be more believable than a butch lesbian....)

As far as Ren goes, I have a friend who would be really, really happy if Ren were gay.... I wonder, though, since Ren kind of acts more as a "background" character than the others on the A Team and B Team (Nora has more lines than him, for goodness' sake!), if the LGBT community would have a fit about not making one of the more "well-known" characters the tried and true "queer".... I'm going to literally be rolling on the floor, laughing if Ren turns out to be the biggest ladies' man Remnant has ever known once he breaks out of his shell a little more ;)

There's many theories as to why Ren doesn't speak or appear more, but I think, first and foremost, it's because he's voiced by Monty. The "writer's pet" idea doesn't cut it when Jaune, Neptune and Torchwick have more speaking lines, and they're voiced by the two writers and the producer respectively. Ren isn't a minor character, but he's certainly not front-line. Hell, Sun and even Penny have spoken more than he has this volume. If Ren does turn out to be a ladies man, I'll post pictures of me cosplaying Jaune in a dress.
