    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.

Rainbow and Ironwood · 4:44pm Sep 13th, 2020

My beta reader, Cody, commissioned this lovely piece of art by Rainbow Zebra to accompany the latest chapter of the SAPR rewrite:

Look at that, Ironwood in full on father-figure mode.

It's okay to be scared, Dash.

I like the art, but i thouhg it wasn't from SAPR, until i read it was from you, so now i am intrigued, wan't rainbow a faunus? i don't see a tail, but then i remembdered, that for some reason, faunus have both ears animals and human ones, bar some exceptions, where they only have their animal ears, though still, rianbow should have a tail, or at least i think she should, sunset has one, though blake doens't have one, was it mentioned in the story rainbow had a tail, i don't remember XD.

Faunus are an interesting species. Usually, they only manifest one animal trait, such as animal ears, a tail, some have wings. I think in the show there are some who have two traits (I think I remember seeing one with horns and wings), but they are few and far between. Which is why Sunset stands out a bit as a Faunus: she has both ears and a tail. In her case though, it’s due to her being Equestrian and not an actual Faunus.

Best piece of art so far imo. Really good.

On a related note, I stopped reading around the time the story picked up in Mistral (I was never really a fan of season 4s roadtrip theme tbh). Would it be better to wait for all chapters to be rewritten and then just go from scratch?

iIf you wish, i am to date, and the new filling chapters add more in deph information of what trnaspired in the story, but it doesn't affect the storyline, so do as you wish, with respect of the chapters, all of them are good, there is no sesaon 4 here XD.
