    SAPR Rewrite Volume 3 Cover by MRK50

    In another sign of how overly optimistic I once was about how long it would take me to get through this rewrite, back in January 2021 I had a cover for Volume 3 done by MRK50, whose absence from the fandom since then is much lamented. With the new phase of the story due to start on Monday, I can finally share it with you all:

    Shameless shilling of my non-MLP fics

    Those of you who enjoy SAPR, but who possibly find it a bit too big, a bit too slow, or those of who you don't have any problems with it at all but would like to read more RWBY fics from me may be interested in a couple of new fics that I've started fairly recently without any MLP elements.

    Team SAPR and Fluffy by Tianshiko

    A little over a year ago I commissioned this artwork of Team SAPR, the stuffed beowolf and mascot of Benni Havens'; the artist, the very talented Tianshiko, had some health issues and wasn't able to work on it for a long time, but now they've finished it and I hope you'll all agree that it was worth the wait.

    On the future of SAPR

    So... when I first started rewriting SAPR I told everyone that it would not impede the forward movement of the story. I never kept that promise exactly as I intended it at the time that I made it, but I never exactly broke it either.

    Until now.

Scipio Smith at the movies, and update · 9:44pm Jul 26th, 2014

So, I watched How to Train Your Dragon 2 this morning, loved it, and spent the rest of the day listening to the soundtrack. Strangely, the track I was listening to as I finished the next chapter of How the Sunset Sparkles was not 'The Dancing and the Dreaming' (although I'm listening to that now), but 'Stoick's Ship'. Make of that what you will.

Also, I've made some changes to the plot of How the Sunset Sparkles which I think will change the story for the better. Twilight tells Sunset that she's marrying Flash Sentry. Amongst other things, this means the story will be completed sooner, and hopefully the characters will be more in character than my original plot would have made them. You'll be able to see that there are some slight changes to the synopsis a few minutes after I post this.

Thank you all for your support and I hope you continue to enjoy the SunLight!

And now, looping back to movies again, I watched the Purge: Anarchy last night and I have to say: what's going on in Hollywood when a family movie by Dreamworks (friggin' Dreamworks!) is making bolder storytelling choices than a film for adults whose very premise is intended to shock and challenge the audience?
