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.

This song has infested my brain.

But in the mean time, I thought I'd explain why it wasn't finished earlier. So let's give that a go.

For me, it all comes down to boredom. Boredom provides me with the motivation I need to slog through the first twenty minutes of beginning to write where I can't write anything worth reading. Unfortunately, games are a great source of ephemera, which means boredom can be hard for me to come by. And though I haven't been enjoying most games very much recently, I do still enjoy one:

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

It required me pulling an all-nighter, but it's finally here. It's the longest (and my personal favourite) chapter of An Expedition so far.
