    I'm (still) not quite dead...

    I'm sorry, I am so very sorry for the lack of updates on, well, anything. A few of you have probably noticed that I've still been putting in the occasional appearance or comment, but as for chapter updates...yeah I've barely written anything for months for various reasons - work sucks, arranging a couple vacations, a falling out in my D&D group of 14 years, and just a sort of malaise that

    When you're writing a chapter...

    And listening to music to keep yourself in the mood, and then you hear a song that has you suddenly realize that you've been writing the entire chapter wrong and should have instead been basing it around the song - not necessarily using the song directly (especially since that would be against site rules concerning wholesale copying of lyrics), but certainly drawing on it for inspiration.

    The Good News and the Bad News

    The good news is that I got a root canal on Monday. No more pain in teeth. Yay!

    The bad news is that I was 3/4ths of the way through the next chapter of Midnight Castle (~5000 words) and realized that I was writing it totally wrong. I need to go back to practically the start and change up a lot, though I'm salvaging lines and paragraphs wherever I can.

Treasure Hunt Character Cards! · 7:29pm May 14th, 2014

The cast of Treasure Hunt is going to be huge, so I've made some cards to help me keep track of them all. You can use them for the same thing, or just 'cause they look fun. They were made using the Magic Set Editor, of course.

I've added these cards to the Author's Notes of the story itself, and will be adding new cards as they become relevant. Collect them all!

You can open the image in a new tab or window to see a larger version of it.

Next Set: The crew of the Hispaniola, the Hispaniola herself, the Isle of Apples, and more!

As an Entomologist (by training anyway), I'd disagree with it being more useful than you'd think. Although that might be something to do with my job being very different from what I was trained for.

2111891 The number of people worldwide that are holding jobs that match what they were trained for in college is most probably in the low single digits, if it is a positive number at all.

Yarrr! Let the pirates and privateers roam free across their territory, and may there be booty and loot for all. (mostly sugar-based) :pinkiehappy:

Okay, that's impressive/useful/very nice.

Rosedust...

:facehoof::rainbowlaugh:

Oh, these are neat. And an excellent way of keeping track of everypony!

2111891 it's certainly useful in forensics.

Well if you get bitten by a Tsetse fly I can identify you from it's gut contents three days later.

2111960 I was more thinking of police investigation and stuff...

Well yes larval growth rates can be used to give a time of death and the like and some species are only found in very small area's so can be used to prove where you've been.

On the Tsetse front they don't travel far so if I find your blood in one I know you were in the local area, of course you might drop dead of sleeping sickness as well.

2111929
I find your name threatening, sir.

2111989 That darn sleep sickness...

Wait a minute.. why is this fic not already marked in my favorites? For that matter, why isn't the first chapter marked as read either? I was sure I started reading this fic before. I distinctly remember a sequence where Pinkie gives the foals the scavenger maps to play with... or was that all published somewhere else?

I'm confused. :applejackconfused:

I did put up part of Chapter 1 in the writer's workshop for review, so that might be why you remember that part.

2113138
I guess. Still, disconcerting to me that I was apparently paying so little attention at some point that I some how got mixed up like that... :applejackunsure:

Oh, well just give me something exciting to do tonight. :pinkiehappy:

Rosedust was the sled scooter.
