    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.

Chapter 26 · 10:18am Oct 25th, 2018

Some of you may have noticed that a chapter of SAPR was published briefly and then disappeared. This is because it was pointed out to me on another forum that the chapter was abruptly darker in tone than what had come before, and since that wasn't what I wanted I have withdrawn the chapter to work on it some more.

Darker isn't necessarily a problem, in general and to my tastes in particular, but if it's not what you wanted, reworking it sounds reasonable enough. You're a pretty good author and I hope you stay inspired.

In my opinion, so long as it fits in with where the story is going, I wouldn't be opposed to a darker chapter. Remember, Harry Potter got darker as the series went on, not because the author was an edge lord, but because it had a narrative reason.

Admittedly it was a sharp turn with the Disembowelment of a woman. I do question why any of the high ranking members of Cinders plan were there as attackers (considering Cinder wanted to observe I could see her masquerading as just another civilian). at this point it would be incredibly bad for Cinder if either she or Adam were caught and attacking the court house, (unless it has a lot of underground escape routes) is incredibly risky. That said since they are Freeing white fang I could see Adam having his trusted Lieutenant (mister chainsaw) head the mission... who frankly wouldn't do too much differently from Adam exempt be less of a danger to the plan if he is caught or as strong (still kicked Wiess's butt).

That depends entirely on you, I think your trying to Show Sunset's standing in this Whitefang fiasco and it shows Sunset opposing Adam and convince Wiess or even atlas she isn't their enemy
