    So, update status on Project Hive and Wasteland Bouquet, and some real-world projects that have been eating up my time.

    Project Hive: I swear I had a chapter in progress, but I can't find it after not working on it for a couple of months due to IRL stuff. I think it's on my computer, and not the laptop I normally write on, but where I might have saved it is a mystery.

    Friendship is Magic: The Movie Review

    Well, I finally did it. All the stuff that's kept me crazy busy or just plain unable to focus on the many, many things I had going on, and I got the time to finish watching Friendship is Magic.

    WOW.

    I Saw That Coming

    So, a few minutes agao I was playing with my new BB gun (a spring-powered revolver), happily bouncing the little plastic BBs off a piece of paper. A large spider crawls out of the cupboard. Wolf spider, or something similar. Horrible crawling biteyness. Not something you want running up your leg.:twilightoops:

Starfall Teaser · 12:55pm Aug 30th, 2016

I'm working hard on the next chapter of Wasteland Bouquet, even with all the projects and things getting in the way of my writing time.
When that chapter's up, I'll release the character spotlight for Starfall, revealing everything about the long-running mystery of who and what she is, and just what her role in things really is... including things that have been hinted at through the story so far!:trollestia:

Until then, enjoy this teaser, taken straight from Blackhoof's book!:pinkiehappy:
Un-translated, of course. Because, as Coffin Nail said:

"This ain't so good, Petite. This book, it be hard to read. The words, they don't make no sense. It take time, a long time."

:trollestia:

To make translating it easier for anyone that's interested, here's the text on a plain background.:derpytongue2:
I'll put up the full translation when I do the character spotlight, of course.:twilightblush:

Hope that tides everyone over! I'll try to get the next chapter of WB out as soon as I can!:twilightblush:

Omg you are back!!!

Thanks for the update. :)

... Is this based on a real language? Cause it kinda looks like Tibetan...

4181706 I was never really gone.:rainbowlaugh:
I just updated Project Hive a few times, since that's easier to work on when I don't have the time or desire to work on something long like WB.:twilightblush:


4183415 That probably would've been a more interesting way to do it.:facehoof: It's in English, but a different font.
Hint: It's a rather Lovecraftian font.

4183912 And with that, I am not going to put in any effort to translate it :)

Mostly because there's no real encryption nor decryption...

4184069 Well, there is one thing that's not in english. Of course, I had to use Google Translate to do it, and finding out how badly that mangles most translations convinced me not to do the rest of it like that.:facehoof:

4184074 I meant cryptography wise. No weird out there ciphers, etc.

Oh, I'm late to the party but I'm here! I can't wait to see the new chapter Cascade, and I might find time to decrypt this too! Maybe. Hopefully.
