    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.

Edited Chapter 7 · 7:25pm Oct 10th, 2013

I wasn't feeling very well when I completed and posted chapter 7 of Comes the Sunset, and I've come to see how that shows in the second part of the chapter: the pacing is rushed and the quality goes downhill overall. So I'm going to go back and edit/rewrite that bit once I've finished my current original fiction chapter.

However, when I was thinking about what I wanted to change (and one good thing about commuting by bus is that you're never short of time to think) I found myself thinking of not just sprucing up the writing and adding a couple of bits that were cut due to impatience, but also changing some plot points that would affect not the story, just the chapter itself.

So my question is, should I just replace the current chapter with the new version, or keep the current version around as an alternate before the changes? I'll probably take the first option, but I wanted to know if anyone had an opinion on the matter.

Oh, and Dark Parable: things might get a little more gruelling for Red Wyne in the revision, but considering that you've just done worse to him than I would ever dream of doing that doesn't bother me as much as it would have done yesterday ;)
