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.

Comes the Sunset returns! · 6:56pm Jan 27th, 2014

When I started writing Comes the Sunset, I wanted it to be a step up in quality from Vengeance of Dawn. To be honest, and expose my own ego for a moment, I wanted it to be the Empire Strikes Back to Vengeance's A New Hope.

I did not succeed. As a villain, Sunset was a lot less complicated, sympathetic and interesting that Dawn, and the pacing was horrendously slow, without mentioning the general unpleasantness of all the antagonist which was wearing Harwick (and I suspect others of you) down.

Which is why I took down all the chapters bar the prologue for rewriting, and the first rewritten chapter is up now! As the story re-develops I hope you'll agree it was a change for the better, but I can't know unless you go and read and comment, so please do.
