After three years, my journey on Tapas is nearing its end. In light of recent events, it's become abundantly clear that my stories will not be given fair consideration, and as such, I plan to take them elsewhere. A cold, hard look at the best available evidence strongly suggests that Tapas didn't follow their own rules for the Action Fantasy contest judging. Whether I won or not, once those irregularities came to light, the decision to leave was inevitable. My integrity, both personal and artistic, means more to me than a hosting platform.
This is not a decision made in a fit of pique, nor out of spite. Tapas owes me nothing. On the other hand, I owe them nothing, least of all my loyalty.
You, dear reader, owe me nothing as well. Still, in recognition of the time we've spent together, I'll allow the currently ongoing stories to finish out their buffers. They'll be posted elsewhere in due course, and I'll make another announcement when I find a suitable home. If you've enjoyed them thus far, and you'd like to continue enjoying them in the future, you're welcome to follow along. If not, well, it's been fun. I plan to remove them all from the site one week after the last episode publishes.
Whatever I may think of Tapas itself, the people here have all been fantastic. Well, mostly. As for the rest of you, though, I'll look back on this time we spent fondly. May we meet again.
Cheers,
Rusty

*Big hug* I'm gonna miss your big persona, Rusty! I'll keep an eye out for whatever you choose to do next for your stories and support you there! :)
All the best, Rusty! We'll miss you, your knowledge and your stories around here!
Unfortunate development, but we wish you the best on your journey, Rust!
Will be following you if you tell me where to go. I'm sorry about the contest. Just know your stories struck a chord with me. Thank you for sharing them
totally understandable, Rusty. Platforms come and go and often exploit our works as they end their life cycles, but your work you made will be eternal. Hopefully we pass eachother again on other sites.
Today is the last day of the Tapas Action Fantasy Tournament. If you haven’t already, please check out The Day The World Went Away and help me fight for a top spot and the contract that comes with it.

Well folks, it's officially October, and that means there are only 24 days left in the Tapas Action Fantasy Tournament.
Don't know what that is? Tapas decided to hold a contest for action fantasy stories, since it's being judged in three elimination style rounds, that counts as a tournament. I think. I dunno, someone probably thought it sounded cool.
Point is, the story I co-authored with the fantastic Yuki, The Day The World Went Away, is in the running. If you haven't checked it out yet, I'd appreciate it if you checked it out. I'll be doing more promo over the following weeks, with some BTS stuff and character art, so stay tuned.
Cheers,
Rusty
