This story is a sequel to Mail Order Orphan
Celestia discovers a new magical prodigy. When she takes on Hoodwink as her personal student, the other Alicorns find themselves taking on students as well, with each Alicorn having a different lesson to teach as they exchange their students among one another.
Climbing Ivy returns from Mail Order Orphan, and is now part of a much larger story arc. For other characters, like Brimstone, it is important to read Delivery Interrupted. Everything will all tie together eventually, so I suppose all of it is important.
Enjoy reading.
Important fact to note. There will be no new alicorns introduced into Equestria. This is not that type of story. Don't get the wrong idea. Thank you. Have fun, and pleasant reading.
Good start for a story.
Your world building and character developmental skills are amazing. Each one of your stories stand up by themselves very well and how they tie into each other to tell a larger story is fantastic. For your next one shot side story (if your planning on doing another that is) should probably shine some light on Trixie and how Hoodwink came to be seeing as how this did kind of come out of left field (there was no previous mention of Trixie and Twilight being friends in your other stories) unlike your other tales showcasing your other b.g.cs. Other then that this is a fantastic start to a new tale and there were no errors that I could find. I look forward to more.

I've thought of that actually. I have a few drafts already. Not sure I like them just yet.
what?
4081426
There was a hiccup, sorry. Corrected, or should be.
4081429 ok and it is fixed now
I love how you portray Luna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... I just realized their is no Luna emoticon..... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I like this chapter :)
Out the Window is actually one of the first chapters I wrote. And then rewrote. And then reworked a few more times. I sort of have the jitters about it. I really wanted to capture the feeling of family and the bonds that families create. I wanted the conversation that takes place at the end to have some real feeling and meaning.
Still not sure if I have it to my liking, but I get the feeling that if I keep rewriting it, I'll end up destroying it completely, so I posted it as it was and now I am forced to leave it alone.
Trying to avoid spoilers, but the conversation about trying to get others to appreciate you for what you are to them was a tough nut to crack.
I have the dreadful feeling that I've dropped the ball on this one.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love when people show the princesses doing normal stuff. You've been busy today posting two chapters
Can't wait for more

Another one incoming. Editing now.
Okay a bit more steamy than I prefer but FINALY! someone actually ships pinkie with some one and she isn't entirely oblivious or depressed!
Wow you've been busy today
I hope your enjoying yourself writing this cause I am enjoying reading it.
Has anyone made a picture of Ivy yet?
4086343
There was something of an attempt.
Ivy is complicated.
I like how you portray discord
Awsome possum chapter. Make mor soon as posable. And add a cover picture of luna, twi, cad, tia, ivy, and the rest of the students.(sorry forgot the names) but heres my chapter review:
This was..... AWESOME!!! I couldn't stop laughing! it make the alicorns look more normal and It is just so awesome!
This is a really good idea. The different races are so different they are bound to get like this and the unicorns would be more likely to pull it off. Bottom point... GREAT IDEA!
Love it! while i like the funny slice of life chapters this was a good move it's nice to have some conflict.
It feels strange to have the Elements of Harmony referred to as "background characters."
Strange, but good.

Isn't six foals instead of five?
She already as four and with twins it makes six.

Whoops, earlier draft floating in head. Thanks.

Their story had to end sometime. Time passes, Stuff changes. Angry messages fill my box.
Some feedback on the last few chapters would be very much appreciated. Especially Fire and Snow.
Was tough to write.
I don't comment much but since you asked...first fare waring I am very critical by nature and am often told that I am to harsh.
The good, your story is proliferating nicely subplots and character arcs are far to good, plentiful and don't over stay there welcome. Most of your oc's are fresh and engaging and endearing. Your writing is light and airy giving a enjoyable read and your ability to produce so much of it so fast is quite commendable.
The neutral, Most cannon pony seem to fall well in there roles. The pacing is much like a serial as apposed to a book or movie, short interconnected stories that don't necessarily meat all the literary steps for "good writing" but produce in total a full story and can be taken out of context to be enjoyed but are not complete unto them selves.
The bad, your at 48 thousand words and you have just started to introduce real conflict. To take the first story as the narrative hook and the rising action, that means your third act begins about 75 thousand words in. For much of the story the "plot" as defined by the primary conflict is non-existent.
Now some decelerations. I like this story quite a bit. I want no part of discouraging you. I don't want you to think of a rewrite. I think you write like "Bucking Nonsense" before he decided to go back and start with a plan.(this is a good thing) Please continue I want to know how this ends.

Thanks. Good points on almost all counts.
If you count Mail Order Orphan, the story is already up around 70k.
I don't want to spoil anything. But this is only the second part of a three part trilogy. Real conflict comes later.
Perfect.... Just perfect....
Celestia should get a foal!
I just had a story idea 
....

Quick, write out a rough draft before the idea escapes!
I think your doing great. Your description of the lunar Pegasi is very helpful for my story A colony of the night.
4107691
I do hope you read Discordant Interlude. It helps with the lunar pegasi and their background. (As I've created them)
And thanks!
Oh... Wow... Um, this chapter took a dark turn...
Talk about a slap in the face. Last chapter was sweet and heart warming and then this happens, I believe there is a phrase for such emotional flip flopping, but for the life of me I can't remember what it is. Anyway good chapter as always, it never ceases to amaze me how quickly you are able to churn out quality work like this. Keep up the good work.

One more major turn of events forthcoming. Hold on!
I do
This is going to have a bit of a pause, I am completely rewriting Brimstone's Nemesis from scratch because I felt it dragged a bit much in too many places.
Be patient. I'm also working other projects.
Won't be long though. I hope.
Thanks for your patience, and as always, feedback really does help. The creative process needs lubrication.
Chapter incoming ahead of schedule. Soon. Work flows surprisingly well.
i would love to hear about the stuffy! and if you don't want to write it I will!
Brilliant! Sign language for ponies.
Also I would love a side story about the stuffy.
Can't wait for the next chapter!
Is she pregnant? i am going to go back and read the previous chapters because I know she lost her boyfriend but for the life of me i can't remember the sec- oh rarity... never mind
