So for about half or more of the world it's already Christmas. While everyone is out enjoying the holiday and winter vacations I'm stuck in a camper with my family. Let's just say I'm about ready to jump in the bayou and risk it with the alligators instead of being in there with them. Also this holiday season I had planned a somewhat canon Christmas special for The Jolly Rogers but due to no internet except on my phone it wouldn't be up until Saturday or Sunday. Anyways, hope your holiday

To all the readers of The Jolly Rogers, I know some of you have stated who you would like to see in the story; but I would like to hear from those who don't say much. Speak up and let me know who you want to see in the future.

List of those already planned:
Adolf Galland
Erick Hartmann
Karl Wolff
General Olbricht
General Beck
and possibly James Doolittle

Because I'm bored and trying to avoid my family, I've decide to have a Q&A on The Jolly Rogers and/or its side story Sabre the Foalsitter. So ask away and I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you all have.

First off, happy October everyone. Hope you're all enjoying your skeleton time before Christmas ads start on the first.

Second, I had an idea involving The Jolly Rogers and I was wondering if anyone would be interested. I've been thinking about posting about a different class of warship, aircraft, tank, or locations in the story each week or every other week. Would you guys read any of those? If you're even still getting these. (damn site updates)

So the last two nights I've had dreams involving characters from my story and I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen before?

All of this week and the week after I won't be working on The Jolly Rogers due to the fact that I'm going to Oshkosh, Wisconsin for the annual EAA Airventure air show. The highlights of this year are the USAF Thunderbirds and the only airworthy Lockheed Vega (my personal favorite airplane and made famous by Amelia Earhart and Wiley Post). Hopefully I'll come up with ideas for future chapters of The Jolly Rogers while I'm up there and find a way to finally get the bugler in the camp next to ours.

So back in, May I think it was, I did a The Ponies of The Jolly Rogers blog and I thought I'd do another one. Some have made appearances while one has yet to have a part. There's also a mustache in it for anyone who figures out who Brush Stroke or Blue Solo are based on.

So I'm stuck about halfway through chapter 18 and I want to know what you guys want to see in chapter 19 and possibly even more future chapters. So far I've already got the part where Sabre gets rescued but now I'm having a hard time figuring what to do next. And after giving it some thought I've decided I want reader input in hopes that it may help me get chapters done faster. That's pretty much it. Comment or PM all ideas and I'll try to find a place for them. (All battle suggestions should

For the next week I'm on vacation in Biloxi, Mississippi with my grandparents so work on The Jolly Rogers will be slow. Thought I'd just give you all a heads up.

I don't like the whole two blog posts in one day thing but this is just too good for me not to tell all of you. As a few of you know I had been in talks with my high school's computer class to help make episodes of The Jolly Rogers but the agreement fell through back in March. Today I received a letter from a local career training school that offers only so many spots each year. I signed up to try and get in their computer animation class as a joke because I was sure they wouldn't accept me but

I know for those of you that have read the first few chapters of The Jolly Rogers you know that I have Glenn Miller, an Andrews Sisters like group, a pony like Dame Vera Lynn, and then Sabre singing Elvis and Dean Martin like songs in future chapters. At the suggestion of my friends I've decided to add other 1930s, 40s, and 50s type performers in the future for the radio stations overseas and in Equestria. So far I have someone to cover Ella Fitzgerald songs. Any suggestions for performers from

So I got my laptop back and during free time from studying my ass off for finals I managed to finish chapter 14 of The Jolly Rogers. Hopefully its good enough for all of you and I decided to make a small change to the soviet cruise missile and lowered it to a more realistic size of 240 kilotons which is within the range of the B61 nuclear bomb used by the U.S. military. And don't say "oh but that's American and not Russian". I'm low on sleep and on the brink of killing the next person who bugs

So I decided to get around to make up the pictures of Thunderstreak and the kids on Pony Creator V3 since there was some confusion with some readers as to who was who. To clear this up for anyone who was confused,

This is Thunderstreak

This is Typhoon

This is Sabre

Ok, so for those of you that read my last post you know I had my laptop revoked after I fell behind on my homework. Good news is that I'm caught up and even managed to talk the teacher into extra credit (it helps if she's drinking buddies with your dad). More good news is that my mum forgot to empty the recycle bin on my computer so all my work is still safe. Bad news is that it can take a couple weeks before they update the school's website so I'm more then likely getting my laptop taken away

Ok so I put The Jolly Rogers on hiatus a couple weeks ago and almost had chapter 14 done but due to poor grades my mum took my laptop and deleted all my chapters of it and rough drafts of first chapters of other stories I had thought about. With my laptop gone until June I'm stuck writing this blog post on my iPhone at the public library. Just thought I would let everyone know it's going to be a bit longer then expected until the next update.

For chapter 15 of 16 and some future chapters of The Jolly Rogers I am going to have journal and diary entrees of service ponies and maybe even a griffin or two. If anyone has an OC they would like to have put in the story please give a name, rank (no higher than Colonel and can include enlisted), as well as branch and job (ex. Sargent Major, R.E.A.F., 91st Bomb Group, waist gunner; Capt., Crystal Army, 1st Armored Division, division commander). To those that have read chapter 12 of The Jolly

So today I got called to the movie production class during study hall and the agreement between me and some students to make videos of the chapters of my story The Jolly Rogers fell apart. The videos were intended to be a surprise for people that favourited the story but hey, shit happens. Now I'm trying to find someone around central Illinois that would help me for free (yeah right). Not to mention the voice actors that had agreed to play characters have decided to join the animators in

As the blog title says, I need help. I'm struggling to find time to work on The Jolly Rogers despite being on holiday but I had an idea for a sciencey story with a small bit of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff thrown in involving one of my oc's, a friends oc, and a few others to say the least. If anyone would want to pre-read it for me just to tell me if you would read more of it or if I'm wasting my time on it that would be great. I'm also looking for someone to do cover art for The Jolly
