Daring Do: I have not. I began pursuing writing after I’d had a few adventures under my belt. It was wanting to share these stories with ponies that got me into the profession.

Daring Do: I lucked out and got a really good publisher that knew how the advertise. A poster in a library here, a newspaper interview there... a couple months after the initial release and the books started flying off the shelves and demand for a sequel had already started building.

Daring Do: I think a lot of it is that I don’t really have a lot of my ego wrapped up in these books. I’m happy that so many ponies like them, but I’ve got more important things to worry about in my life. I mean, my livelihood doesn’t even depend on them doing well, what with the inheritance...

(I would have also accepted: "I bought a safari hat." )

 

So, you don't *need* to risk your life in dangerous areas but you do it for the adrenaline rush & the thrill of the hunt?

Right on. 

What do you consider your biggest accomplishment as an adventurer? Traveling to an exotic land, trying something new etc.?

(Spoilers for a real life Daring Do book. X3)

Daring Do: I've seen and done a lot. There are so many things I could pick. But the first one to pop into my mind is... 

Spoiler

helping the Duchess Precipita of Cirrostrata reunite with fellow adventurer Brumby Cloverpatch. You can read about it in "Daring Do and the Forbidden City of Clouds". I'm not exactly know for being a romantic, but... I was pretty happy for them. 

(I actually flipped though the book really quick to find out the spellings for names, and came across a line that I had forgotten about regarding a phobia Daring used to have. Fish! Specifically, piranhas. I forgot about it, but it's just as well because apparently, she got over it. XD)

That's good.

Ahuizotl,

How are things in the jungle so far?

Daring Do,

I know you don't write your books for the fame, but for sharing your adventures. So, what do you do with the bits you've earned from them? Just asking.

Daring Do: Some of it goes into funding future expeditions, but most of it goes into charity. Like literacy programs and museums I work with.

Cool.

 

[ShadOBabe 19,011]

LOL NEVERMIND!!

Don’t know what I was thinking. I won’t be able to add icons while I’m in New York, but I’m gonna need to keep this open.

Pretending to be Daring, Ahui, and Dr. C keeps me sane (ironically).

WE’RE OPEN!

Ahuizotl: He es incredibly wise and caring. But it would be prudent not to take that for granted and anger him...

Ahuizotl: These two, particularly Daring, could qualify as “famous”, but I doubt I do. I am relatively ignored in most of the fandom. I suspect it is because I am not an “adorable” poni... 

Dr. Caballeron: Heh... jealous amigo? 

Ahuizotl: *growls at Caballeron and stalks over* 

Dr. Caballeron: Uh oh...  *runs*

Daring Do: I definitely enjoyed my time on the show. *watches Ahuizotl chasing Cabelleron* *smiles* ... Even with my crazy costars.

Ahuizotl, do you like to play pinochle? And if so, who usually plays with you?

Ahuizotl: “Pinochle”? Es that a poni game? I have never heard of it. But in my village we play a game called “patolli”. It es a board game you place bets on.

[LOLWHOOPS, check below.]

I was referring to what you said in "Daring Doubt":

Aah! You again! If I wanted to play games, I would get out my pinochle deck!

[Is THAT what he said? I was trying to figure it out because had no clue what “pinochle” was! Actually, now that I think about it, maybe I have but I didn’t no how it was spelled... Also the accent obscures it a bit. How the HELL did the Aztec jungle monster learn pinochle?? Hmm, okay... Let’s try again.]

Ahuizotl: I do enjoy pinochle. Teocalli learned the game while spying on an outsider settlement. He brought back a deck and taught me and some others how to play. Etzli usually plays with us as well.

I had no idea what he said (I don't think the game is popular where I live), but I checked that line in the transcript at the MLP wiki.
