Sweating It Out

[twilightpony]

What I get from the editors notes is a general idea that the readership of the Canterlot Explorer's Society quarterly isn't interested in a guide to how to prepare for a trek in northern Yakyakistan but just what it was like to be on our expedition. I'm interested in details and how things fit together and that is what's reflected in my travelogue. I'll ask Rarity for help on this.

If they're interested in the story of the expedition/what it was like to be there, then you might want to structure your travelogue into something akin to a short story. Something pulpy, like "A thrilling narrative of a harrowing journey through the frozen wastes, in search of a lost friend."

Add the finer details you want ponies to know about here and there, as a kind of exposition/moment-relevant explanation. The trick is to work it into the overall thing just enough to where it doesn't become an information-dump and turn off the reader.

Would you believe, that's Rarity's approach? Her approach makes it look like we went to go spy on Winter! But you're right and we're working on it.

Ah, I see. I hope you she can help you with it!
