*is hopeless at maps and other such things*

Okay.

So was trying to fix the obvious errors in direction, geography, whatever in Sanstorm and thought maybe I could contrive someting that would at least help me keep direction straight.

It is a sad, sad piece of work let me tell you. I'm not even sure what I should laugh at first.

Linkage. Don't laugh too hard, yeah? Even if I am ^^;;;;

I just want to pinch your cheeks.

[maderr.livejournal.com]

^^;;; At least I didn't make you cry. I always fear how badly I'll injure the artists in the area.

It's pretty! There are colors, and now we know where the pretty boys are, well enough. I'm perfectly with your braincells staying devoted to their stories, rather than their locations.^^

[audaxfemina.livejournal.com]

Well, you know, that's why geographers go to school for it and use GPS and stuff. ;)

Kitties say they like it.

[maderr.livejournal.com]

Heh. I don't think I ever had a geography lesson in my life.

Thank you kitties <3

[audaxfemina.livejournal.com]

I didn't either. But alas, they have much of it at this university. :) Cartography is harder than it looks, or everyone would do it, yes?

They're gazing at you adoringly. Or it could just be me. :)

Basically. There are very good reasons 95% of the world highers the other 5% for that sort of thing.

Oh, definitely you. Cats generally only give me "Pet me now, bitch" looks. ^_~

[audaxfemina.livejournal.com]

That's what I figure. :) It's what keeps me going in grad school.

Oh, my kitties adore people without Y chromosomes. Me most of all, of course. And there's no look for the 'pet me now, bitch'. Instead, they walk in front of me, lay down and roll on their backs, like... BELLYRUB!!!

My favorite part? "Desert."

[maderr.livejournal.com]

That's what its called. Doesnt' really have an official name.

[tygati.livejournal.com]

*grin* Hey, it works, right? ^.^ So you gonna put major cities on there, or just leave us to guessing where Shah and company park their butts? ;)

[rykaine.livejournal.com]

Oh she totally should put little stars or whatever to indicate where all the different Tribes and stuff are located. And any oases (oasises?). 'Cause those are important to Desert Peoples.

[tygati.livejournal.com]

*grin* That may be beyond our intrepid cartographer's skills. ;) I mainly wanted the capital because Tavamara's so big.... ^^;

[maderr.livejournal.com]

Intrepid cartographer. AHAHAHAHAHAHA.

something like this, but again I suck. for reals yo. (http://pics.livejournal.com/maderr/pic/0007wkx7/)

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Hey, not bad. ^^ Now the only thing you're missing is the ocean! ^______________________^ *runs for her life*

[maderr.livejournal.com]

I didn't extend it that far out, minx. That would require something more complicated than filling an ittybitty square, which is too complicated for me.

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Funny, I tend to put oceans onto maps first... *grin*

But hey, for a quicky first shot, I'd say you did rather well m'self. ;)

[rykaine.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on! Can't you show us where all the Tribes are?

[maderr.livejournal.com]

Fuck if I know.

[rykaine.livejournal.com]

It's your damn story. Shouldn't you know?

[maderr.livejournal.com]

I know they're in the Desert. Somewhere.


Actually, I think I'd need to fix proportions and stuff to really show the Tribes. B/c the Desert is fucking huge, it's not quite right in that feeble attempt. But most are scattered along the edge, some further in, and Ghost is a little to the right of the middle.

[rykaine.livejournal.com]

Can't you just like... stamp little stars and jackals and snakes and stuff in their relative areas. No, I'm not trying to make this more difficult for you. Really.

[maderr.livejournal.com]

Heh. Maybe I'll crack into later, madame. I hadn't realized anyone cared that much.

[rykaine.livejournal.com]

I just want to see how far before crack. Of course we care. ^_^

[maderr.livejournal.com]

*glares at you*

[rykaine.livejournal.com]

*blinks* What?

[charisstoma.livejournal.com]

Ok maybe a few important cities and shadings of you are a tribe by this name and you're generally here (splat of color). Otherwise this is fine, you just have to know if its up, down,left or right so as the characters aren't going around in circles til the forest ranger rescues them.

*giggles* it's cute and it's colourful, what's not to like?
