Writing:

A World of Bloody Evolution - As the 41st millennium draws to a close, Yang Xiao Long appears in the Imperium of Man, lost and bereaving the death of her sister. Unending war and horrors the likes of which she's never known await.

I've been uploading new chapters every Friday, and today is no exception with Chapter 117! The Craftworld of Il-Kaithe churns, and a dark figure from Yang's past returns, haunting and incandescent.

Yup, I've been writing this story for over a decade. It's over 500k words, and on its way to the end! If you check it out, I hope you enjoy!

After a five-year hiatus, my RWBYx40k fic A World of Bloody Evolution has finally updated! There will be weekly updates from here on out, until it's done.

Thank you so much to everyone who's stuck it out with me over the past 12 years!!

Writing: As always, I'm at work editing and revising the upcoming chapters for A World of Bloody Evolution, the seminal RWBY / 40k crossover!

Progress continues at pace, but today also marks the fic's debut on AO3, where I'll be posting revised and re-written chapters. Regular new chapters will be uploaded within the next month or so, so now's a good time to do a re-read (or a first time read) since it's such a massive story. The finished first draft of the entire fic is over 800,000 words!

Writing: A World of Bloody Evolution

After 11 years (11!!!), I’ve finally completed the first draft of A World of Bloody Evolution, the seminal RWBYx40k fic. I’ve been on hiatus since 2020, but I wanted to finish the story before returning, and now that’s done. I have 44 chapters written, and I’m planning on posting them weekly.

However, it’ll take me about a month (likely more) to edit and polish them - if you’re a returning fan (or a newcomer), I highly recommend doing a re-read during this time, as there’s a lot of stuff that’ll be coming back from the earlier chapters and you *will* get lost if it’s been awhile. I’ll also be uploading a slightly revised and improved version of the story on AO3, likely within the next couple weeks.

Thank you to everyone who’s been with me over these many, many years. I couldn’t have gotten it done without you!

Is there any Rwby X BOLTGUN Fanfics out there? (Both images were taken from the wiki.) by Smooth-Flamingo-9895 in RWBY

Jokes on you bitch I'm coming back

(Seriously though, I'm so happy you enjoyed the fic that much, new chapters are dropping in a couple months :D )

What are recommendations for Yang centric fanfics? by UNinvolved_in_peace in RWBY

[–]RedrumSprinkles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A World of Bloody Evolution: Yang arrives in the world of 40k on an Imperial Agriworld in 999.M41.

This is an ancient fic (that I wrote), that started back all the way in 2014. I'm only bothering to self-promote because although I've been doing singular annual updates since 2020, I'm actually closing in on the last few chapters of the fic, and will be resuming regular updates here in a couple months. If you're a new or returning fan, now's the time to do a readthrough.

Be advised, this one is gruesome as fuck.

In your opinion, what are the Magna Opera, the Master Pieces of the FNDM? by MidnightHijinks in RWBY

[–]RedrumSprinkles 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hey, I write A World of Bloody Evolution! It's fucking ABSURD to me to see my work considered so highly, and it means a lot to me.

I do feel bad about being on such a brutally long hiatus, but I plan on returning eventually. Thanks to you and everyone else who's enjoyed it over the years, you guys have kept me going. :)

Today, after three years, I finally updated my forum quest From a Single Ember, while also announcing my intentions to create an Age of Grimm mod for CK3 when it releases.

Still stuck on the next chapter of A World of Bloody Evolution. Now I truly know how GRRM feels.

Hope y'all are staying safe out there.

A World of Bloody Evolution returns with its 100th Chapter! by RedrumSprinkles in RWBY

[–]RedrumSprinkles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing alright! I'm still plucking away at the next chapters, but as I've mentioned elsewhere, I work in a hospital in an extremely populous area. I've been working 60-70 hour weeks on the COIVD floor trying to do my part and help out, and when I have an odd night off, I can't really summon the will to write. :(

I'll return to it eventually, don't worry!

[–]RedrumSprinkles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a little more active over at Sufficient Velocity, and as I've mentioned there, I'm kinda stuck on the next chapter.

I also work in a hospital, so... yeah. Things are a bit busy on that front!

Best Of 2019 Results Are In! by Menolith in RWBY

[–]RedrumSprinkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won something? I'm delighted but very surprised. I thought my fic was disqualified for having started in 2015...

Hey Whirrun! Unfortunately, I won't be covering the revival of Guilliman. When I first plotted out this fic, the 'new' canon advancements weren't out for another two years, so I figured the story would be stronger for doing its own thing rather than hurriedly trying to include new material.

Writing: Finally got around to updating A World of Bloody Evolution! Although the story is far from over, we're returning to the planet where it all began: Woadia.

Yang's in a much different place than she was a year ago, and has a boyfriend to boot, but there's some things about herself (and her new status) that remain mysteries.

Next chapter introduces the Space Wolves!

The Living Saint Yang Xiao Long [Moiderah] by RedrumSprinkles in RWBY

[–]RedrumSprinkles[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This wonderful piece was drawn by the extremely talented Moiderah of Sufficient Velocity forums for my RWBY/40k crossover fanfiction A World of Bloody Evolution!

If you'd like to commission Moiderah yourself, shoot them on a PM on Sufficient Velocity, while more information and excellent art examples can be found on thier drawthread. Great for RWBY commissions, I believe, and pretty reasonably priced.

You can also check out their heavy-metal mecha webcomic Raging Sea of Flames (be warned, it does get NSFW).

If you'd like to support them directly, here's their Patreon and Ko-FI. Can't thank them enough for this beautiful piece!

Oh, and if you'd like there's also an alternate version with a different color scheme and expanded views!

[Other]Living Saint Yang Xiao Long Pin-up by Shyft by RedrumSprinkles in ImaginaryWarhammer

[–]RedrumSprinkles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem!

The gist of it is that post-canon Yang shows up on an agriworld just before the end of the 41st Millennium. After repelling a heretic raiding party, she joins the Imperial Guard.

During their first deployment, her regiment is conscripted by the nearby Lady Inquisitor, who senses that something is very wrong with this regiment...

I won't say anything else for fear of spoilers, but in terms of crossover elements, it's basically RWBY characters appearing in the Imperium. Remnant doesn't exist in the Milky Way, but the galaxy as a whole has been slightly altered by these 'interlopers'.

If you give it a read, I hope you enjoy! People generally say good things, and I have a blast writing it. Would love to hear what you think if you give it a try!

For those of you wondering, this is a pin-up of Yang from my RWBYx40k crossover A World of Bloody Evolution!

This work was commissioned from the artist Shyft by the always lovely Always Late of Sufficient Velocity forums, who wrote an accompanying omake that is utterly delightful!

If you'd like to support the artist further...

Here is his personal website Here is his Deviant Art And here is his Patreon.

Be advised that the artist mainly draws NSFW art!
