Writing Game Week 40
Treasure Map board and prompts are made by lilian_cho (because the shiny has not worn off for me). This board will be up until next Thursday. Starting next month, we will have a two-week board once a month.
Post Secret is playable this week. Have at it! =)

The goal of Writing Game is not to make multiple rounds around the board, but to accumulate as many points as possible.
You may switch fandoms/worlds whenever you first pass 20 points, 40, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, then free for all.
e.g. Total points: 19. Complete a +3 prompt.
This brings you to 22 points. At this point you may switch fandoms/worlds.
You may go clockwise or counterclockwise on this board, but don't change directions midway.
Exceptions: 1) You are going backwards because you skip a prompt.
2) You are at a Player’s Choice Square.
All the general rules can be found in the profile. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Tarot Cards +2 from William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream
So quick bright things come to confusion.
spurn me, strike me,/ Neglect me, lose me
a tangled chain; nothing impaired, but all disordered
So we grow together,/ Like to a double cherry
To you your father should be as a god
For beasts that meet me run away for fear
pluck the wings from Painted butterflies
This hateful imperfection of her eyes
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind
Swifter than the moon's sphere
an idle gaud/ Which in my childhood I did dote upon
Give me your hands, if we be friends
I never may believe/ These antique fables, nor these fairy toys.
That the rude sea grew civil at her song
Tie up my love's tongue bring him silently.
