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:

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.

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.

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.

From now, I am ceasing work on all future chapters of SAPR (well, probably; there are four chapters written which I may put out, I haven't quite decided yet) will cease until the rewrite catches up with them.

Now, I had hoped to have two pieces of art to show on this blog post, but one of them isn't ready yet, and since the rewrite is resuming today I'll have to make do by showing this great piece that I had done by Seshirukun for the upcoming storyline in the rewrite.

With the SAPR Rewrite about to start again today it's time for me to do what I should have done some time ago and summarise everything that happened since the preceding update here.

Well, maybe not everything; a lot happened since the last update.

If I had a penny for every time I've said 'when SAPR isn't consuming all of my writing time, I'd like to write a fic in which Cinder and Pyrrha are raised as sisters/write a fic in which Pyrrha may have come back to live or Jaune is deluding himself/finish My Brave Pony: The Heart of the World/reboot my Cinderella fics' I would have a few extra pennies, as they say.
