    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.

The Return of the Raven Queen (and Breaking Dawn) · 5:48pm Jan 16th, 2015

Sunset´s question was cut off by a cracking sound and a flash of midnight blue light as a third pony appeared into the room. A golden unicorn, with a mane of red and white, stumbled around and dropped to the floor. The two present mares recognized her as Breaking Dawn, a former student of Celestia who had some months ago plotted against Twilight.

Twilight looked at her awestruck. What in equestria is going on? She was nearly dead! And that wasn't even her magic!!

"The...Raven Queen... " She took a long, painful breath before looking at twilight in the eye and adding " wants you… princess " she spat the last word and fainted.

I now have someone else using one of my OCs in their fanfic! I'm so proud to have something that the Albinocorn doesn't (apparently, no, he beat me to it. He is the Twilight Sparkle to my Sunset Shimmer).

The Return of the Raven Queen is a new fic by Lucius-Nomicon, a new author here on the site. It involves Dawny, Sunset (canon Sunset, that is), Twilight and two of the author's own OCs who revealed to be the rightful heirs to Celestia's power, and future chapters will doubtless explore the consequences of this revelation.

It is a Tyrantlestia fic, so if you don't like that sort of thing then this probably won't be your bag, but apart from that I found it a pretty good, exciting fic. The first chapter was pre-read by yours truly, and I have to say that Lucius' grammar is very good for someone whose first language isn't English, and his characterisation skills are also quite deft, getting across the character of Shining Noon, one of the author's own OCs, without ever calling attention to the subtle character work.

So please support a new author, and support Dawny, by giving Return of the Raven Queen a shot and hopefully leaving a kind word in the comments section.

Cool! I'll check that out

Actually... You're wrong. Artemis Lulamoon, who appears in Long Road to Friendship, appeared in Sunset Rekindled. Sorry.

Dammit!

Ah, well, he deserves it.

It looks pretty good, judging from that quoted excerpt!
