    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 Dash and Blake in Atlas uniforms · 10:34am Feb 5th, 2022

This was something I had meant to include in the last present chapter of SAPR, but I forgot; and although it is there now I'm also including it here so that people will actually see it.

Huh, for some reason I imagined Blake being taller than RD. Not sure where I got that.

Not really a fan of this art style tbh. Especially the faces.

Why do most people draw rd having dark skin?

Partly because the Kotobukiya figure that I give to artists as a reference for human!RD has dark skin:

which is even more pronounced in the concept art:

And partly because I kind of like the way it looks.
Plus, lots of Atlesians do have dark skin (Terra, Marrow, Ciel, Pietro, Joanna, Robyn) in fact I don't think there's a dark skinned person in the whole cast who isn't from Atlas.

And ultimately, while I wasn't sure about it at first, it's kind of grown on me how it looks.
