well since the thing is in view only for very good reasons, i'll just post my bit here and leave it up to the guy on control to add it or not.

"I first discovered my love of writing, of creating, as a direct result of some of Monty's work. I started writing shortly after seeing the 'Black' Trailer as a way to both get more RWBY and to empty some space in my cluttered mind. Now, nearly 2 years after that trailer aired, i have completed 2 books, revised them both several times, and am in the process of writting sequals for them both and have planned at least a dozen more books that are either further sequals or just out of the blue ideas. All of this, and what i will create later, is the direct result of Monty Oum's life, and i'm not the only one either.

I can't even begin to imagine what you, Monty's friends and family are going through, that is not a talent of mine, but know he will be sorely missed. The world has lost one its best. I wish you all the best and will continue to pray for you.

Sincerely, Smiegle2 AKA Jonathon Collins"
