**College Fool,** also known as **CF**, is an American FanFiction user who focuses the majority of their current stories on *RWBY* since March 2015, but has an extended history of writing for other anime and video game series since August 2008. They are most well known for being Coeur Al'Aran's current beta reader after Super Saiyan Cyndaquil.

## Biography

College Fool created their FanFiction account on August 23, 2008, posting their first story on *Gundam 00* two days later on August 25. He published other works for pieces such as *Mass Effect, Fallout, Fire Emblem, Tiger & Bunny,* and *Avatar: The Last Airbender* between 2008 up to February 2015.

### Writing for RWBY

CF published his first RWBY work, *A Crossdresser or Something* in March 2015, and published other works for the *"Or Something"* literary universe up until his most recent publication, *The Knight of Lancaster or Something* completed in July 2018.

#### Working with Coeur

It is unknown specifically when CF started working with Coeur, but it is known that CF added Coeur as a "Favorite Author" on 2015 April 24, along with this two literary pieces *One Good Turn Deserves Another* and *Professor Arc*. In contrast, Coeur did not have CF added in his "Favorite Authors" list in May of that year, nor any of his stories, but had him added by November. In the author notes for chapter 2 of *Not this Time*, *Fate*, "A Long Time Coming", College Fool says that he has worked as Coeur's "muse" for about 9 months before the publication of the work in March 2016, meaning they started working together around June 2015. Coeur mentions CF as suggesting an omake for chapter 10 of PA, meaning they were certainly engaged in active dialogue by July 2015.

Coeur mentioned CF in the first chapter of *From Beyond* in 2015 September 21, but does not mention him as a beta reader at this point. Coeur and CF started participating in *The Writer Games* from 2015 September 26 to 2016 February 19, writing a total of 67 anthologies based on the *RWBY* universe. CF was first mentioned as a beta reader for *Stress Relief* from December 2015 to September 2016. He worked as a beta reader for several subsequent pieces such as *Not this Time, Fate* from March 2016 to August 2017, *Forged Destiny* from July 2016 to January 2020, *The Entertainer* from September 2016 to July 2017, *White Sheep* from December 2016 to February 2019, and *The Beacon Civil War* from September 2017 to February 2018.

CF is also directing a work written by Coeur, *A Hunter or Something*, published between September 2017 and May 2018. Coeur notes that AHoS was on hiatus due to CF's commitments, but despite his return, the story slot had been filled by *Relic of the Future* at the time.

### White Sheep

On 2017 May 4, College Fool and Coeur engaged in a discussion on the Professor Arc Forum. Coeur remarked that College Fool was inconsistent regarding his feedback on chapter lengths, but that he generally agreed with the feedback for the chapters on those weeks.
