It's not everyday you see a story that hasn't received an update in 3 years finally get one, so I figured I'd give an explanation as to what brought about the revival of An Expedition. And if nothing else, writing this down will be a nice way of concretizing my thoughts on this. So here goes:

and dear god... I tried so hard to sound posh in my writing that I'm actually a bit embarrassed from reading it just now. I can't believe that that's the first impression I've been giving people.

I haven't finished going through the chapter all the way yet, but I'm definitely going to get that done as soon as possible... for my dignity's sake.

Good news, I have a chapter all written and basically ready to post. However, my usual editor has been busy recently and hasn't been available to edit for me. If anyone's interested in copy-editing or just prereading and giving me their thoughts, let me know.

I'm sorry this chapter took so long to get out, but it's here, so yay!

Other than this chapter being really difficult to write, part of the reason it took so long is because I started writing a one-shot that I really hope to finish and post.

Anyways, in the intervening time between this new chapter and the one before it, An Expedition to the Crystal Forest turned one year old, so in honour of that, how about some trivia relating to the story?

I missed the deadline I set in my last blog post of "sometime this coming week" by 3 hours, but hey, by my standards that's pretty good.

I'll start with the name change, because I know that's what you all care about, right? No? Well, however you feel about it, I don't plan on doing it again, since i nabbed what must have been the coolest name left available. But on to more important things... (Yes, I just called pony fanfiction important and I'm not going to apologize for it.)

Hint: Quack

Those of you interested in An Expedition to the Crystal Forest may have noticed that a fair bit of time has passed since the last chapter. Five days short of two months, to be exact. This is because I got about halfway through the fifth chapter of AEttCF and a new story idea popped into my head. So I devoted most of my time to that, but, as luck would have it, I hit a creative wall just short of finishing that story, and thusly have reverted back to dedicating my time to AEttCF. Originally my

What does that come out to? Just over two weeks for a new chapter? Honestly, that's probably the fastest I'll ever manage, but I'll see if I can keep up this pace.

Anyway... New chapter. Much shenanigans. Hope you enjoy.

This chapter really kicked my ass, but I'm happy to announce that it has been released. It's a bit longer than what I think I'll be shooting for in the future too, but I really wanted to get this part out of the way in one chapter.

So, umm... that's it. Hope you like it!

I didn't feel that the old description was doing the story any justice, (it barely covered anything about the story at all) so I changed it.

If you were interested in the story from my old (crap) description, I'd urge you to check out the new one so you have an idea of what's to come.
