Well. It's 29th July, 2016.

Nearly next to nobody has entered the art contest, and any promises of the finale…are very very far.

On the bright side, I feel like I'm getting closer and closer to the goal of finishing the first draft of the Finale's third part (which I feel like 'The End…?' is a lame title tbh), but looking over my first drafts for The Leap (Part One) and The Fall (Part Two)…it's messy. It needs a cleanup.

Not only that, but I've been looking back in the word document I have for Eagle's Cross in general and well…I'm thinking of a minor revision of it. Mainly to fix up grammar, tenses and sentences of course, but also to repair a few plot holes and bring better characterisation to the story.

But something new has come in mind for Eagle's Cross, concerning a pretty large plothole in the story that I'm surprised everyone's brushed away, including myself.

I haven't told Editor Toni about this yet (even though we have met for a second time on my way home from Europe) since this is just recent, but what I'm mentally planning so far involves…a fair few things, which admittedly involve Cora's older twin siblings, Ed and Ell.

What for? Not telling. Yet.

But the whole point I'm trying to get across to you readers that I'm planning to have a minor start over on the story.

I want Eagle's Cross to be one of the best Eddsworld fanfiction that's out there, on a regular update schedule and a brilliant bang of a finish when it's time for pens down.

It's still not done yet – and I'm pretty annoyed that it isn't.

But despite life in general right now, I'm determined to get this story done for once and for all. However, of course, it will take a while.

My plan is to have the redone/added-on prologue out by 8th October AEST, the same date I originally planned to post the promo art week by week, but got too excited for. At least, that's the basic goal. I can't really promise that it'll be out again by that date. I can't give any exact dates on posting schedules, but the rate of which I'm writing, I might change it to a chapter once every two or three weeks instead of the one.

Okay, I've been rambling a bit. I need to get the details out.

What will happen in the Genuine Hiatus of EGC:

-No contests

-No self-interviews, which means that you can't ask questions for me to read out and respond to any more.

-No promises on chapter posting.

I intend to restart Eagle's Cross afresh on its own new spot in here, in a fresh folder in dA, and new chapters under the tag 'Revised!Story' for the tumblr blog, themysteryofeaglescross . tumblr. com (just nix the spaces.)

I've also got plans that mainly involve the blog, such as weekly photo updates on my writing progress, little thoughts here and there on headcanons, and answering any questions you might have on posts. Which means no activity on here or dA.

So with the final chapter here in the original version (in which I will keep up for those feeling nostalgic), wish me and Editor Toni luck on fixing up and repairing the entirety of Eagle's Cross!
