    Reading Order for The Alicorn Adventures

    Several people have asked about this, probably because I've written these things out of order. So, here is what I would recommend:

    The Celestia Code
    The Luna Cypher
    The Twilight Enigma
    On the Rocks
    The Quest
    Tales from Twilight Town
    The Cadenza Prophecies
    The Skyla Pseudonym

    Double the Fun!

    Ahoy there, Captain! A Twofer Tuesday spotted, broad on the larbord bow!


    (The quarterdeck's gettin' a bit crowded, innit?)

    Just thought y'all might like to see the gals with their disguises on, and some of the other Nebulas.

Some Problems With Haycarte's Method · 6:26pm Aug 21st, 2023

Really diving into an old Pegasopolous manuscript there, Twi!

I assume that, from her perspective, it looks like Commander Hurricane has a bad case of mange.

I figure that since with Haycartes I read therefore I am the book, the spell-caster gains a deeper understanding of the text and can grasp what is missing, With repeated Haycartes sessions, I'd expect that that would have a reparative effect on faded and disintegrating books.

That's a great idea! :pinkiehappy:

What! Manuscript! IS this?

Thanks! If you run with it, I can send anypony who wants to know how it works to ask you! :rainbowlaugh: :moustache:

Twi’s adventures are getting better with each blog post :twilightsmile:

I'm so freaking jealous now! The fact that you get to touch beautiful old texts......aaaggghhhhh! WANT!...Oh! Hi Twilight......

It's the Regina Carmina. Full of hot allegorical babes, and one bedraggled pegasus. I mainly had it to study the pen-flourish illumination, which (IMHO) is without peer.

Oh, I am going to steal the idea; bet on that! :twilightsmile:

You know what's extra fun? Being able to geek out with other people who are just as interested in this stuff as I am! And extra-extra fun is that the British Library cafeteria has gin and tonics in a can!

Do you mean maybe the Carmina Regia? "Regina Carmina" isn't returning anything germane on Google.

Oops, yeah. Phone mistype. You should be able to see a high resolution scan of it on the British Library's website. (Not high enough to see the details of the pen filigree, unfortunately; which is why I had to go there!)
