For the son of a hero and descendant of Starswirl's blood, Blizzard Warning has a lot to live up to. But how in Equestria can somepony be great when their cutie mark only brings problems? The young colt seems to have a knack for casting magic to control natural forces such as the wind, water, fire, and earth, but it always seems to spiral out of control into a literal disaster.
Things have always been manageable because of his father's intervention, but as Blizzard gets older, it has become more apparent to his parents that he must learn to use his talent appropriately. So Blizzard gratefully accepts the opportunity to go to Starswirl Academy as a student to receive the best professional education to help him succeed in life. Maybe along the way he'll learn to make some lasting friends, learn to make good decisions, and find his place in the world and his true potential.
A story about self-discovery and acceptance with the help of friendly guidance.
Rated Teen for light swearing, violence, and possible sexual/romantic themes, just to be safe.
Heh, this was interesting. I like the idea of idea of Starswirl having a school and relatives. I mean, he was a weird old unicorn in the MLP comics. Who knew he'd get kids?
The inclusion of the chimmy cherry/cherry changa made me chuckle a bit.

Well, you know Starswirl had good intentions but things didn't always go as planned. I guess it runs in the family sometimes.
6153840 Hey man, I'm gonna drop one little piece of advice without even reading the story first. I highly discourage posting more than one chapter in a day, since a single story can only visit the front page once in a day. You just traded five times on the story update feed for one, and that is not a good way to get readers. Of course, nobody says you can't update this way, but I can't stress to you enough how much I discourage it.
As for reading, I will have to wait a while before I start in on it because of lots of other things I need to read. It is on my list though, and I will get to it soon.
Most intriguing.
Continuing onward.
Tracking. This was well-written, with some very fun characters.
Eager to see what's next.
6155089
Ah, thanks for the advice!
I'll keep that in mind for the future. I was waiting on cover art so I just kind of wanted to get the stuff I had out out, you know? 
Anyway, thanks for giving your support. I'll also be waiting for Learning Curve's next update
6155190
I'm glad you like it
there's a stigma regarding OCs, so this is a bit of challenge that I'm doing.
6155846
Great story so far!
My favorite is Strata, I think she's really cool
have you read the Harry Potter series, it reminds me of that
6155914
That's one of the sources if inspiration, though I'm planning to make this story diverge from being too much like Harry Potter by making things a bit more pony and less wizardry.
6155956
Sounds cool

As the one who encouraged him to have more than one chapter ready at launch, i'll step in here to say it depends.
I believe it's better to have more than one chapter at launch (generally 3-4) so that the readers have more to read and get hooked on. However it also depends on how long the fic is, if you only have about 5-6 chapters in the story then yeah i'd stick to one at a time.
(Two of my recent fics not good examples, because i wrote them as oneshots and split them into 4 chapters for readability)
That picture is the classic face an author makes when leaving people on a cliffhanger.
6156151
Whaaat!? You wound me. I'd neeeever do something like that!

Oh, speaking of updating, since it only allows a story to be on the front page once per day, do updates go on a 24 hour basis? Or does it only get on the front page once every calendar date? So if I tried to update less than 24 hours from the last update, would it not go to the front page's recent updates column? I'm still trying to get this stuff down and you seem to know more than I do.
6156674 I can't say for certain, but waiting 24 hours is generally a safer bet. When I have multiple chapters to post, I usually do them at about the same time every consecutive day just to make sure.
6156129 Then perhaps post two chapters in a day if you need to, but posting five at once is just a waste of exposure. Then again, I don't have a very substantial follower count to fall back on so I have to be very miserly with how I post my chapters. Kestrel has at least a decent fan base to cushion him, so it probably isn't nearly as big of a problem as I made it out to be.
6157014
Eh, it's fine. I just wanted to share my story. Part of it is garnering early interest, I guess I could have held back a few chapters and released them daily, but I decided not to for some reason. Oh well, live and learn. Thanks for the advice
6157014
Yeah i definitely agree with five being a bit much, but Kestrel was super excited to share this, so i can understand his eagerness
(Now i gotta read it 
)
I swear, this story will put me into a coma from it.bbeing so good.
Awesome story!
can't wait for more!
6157232
Oh you flatter me so!
6157403
And you won't have to wait long. I plan on releasing another chapter tomorrow, and I like how this new one I'm releasing turned out so far
This story seems pretty cool so far, I like the concept.
Me and my friend( Ammuris Vibe ) will just sit on the hill and talk
. To anyone ago has never done that........ it's amazing!!!!!!!!
. So I can relate to just how enjoyable that sort of thing is.
6160245
Yeah, it's one of those finer points in life that make it so worth living. Sometimes, the company of another is the greatest treasure you can find.
6160300
That is probably the most truthful thing I have heard in a while
6160345
I do my best
6157493
Yay!
The first thing that struck me was Hollow Shades. I love Hollow Shades, and the locale is just an immediate draw for me. I'm definitely going to have to keep up with this one. You've hooked me with Blizzard's predicament. :)
6161191
Heh, I'm glad. I avoided the usual cities like Manehatten, Ponyville, and Canterlot for his origin in order to make sure he didn't have contact with anything show related through anything but story. As for his predicament, we'll see how things pan out for that one. It could be a long ride for our little pony
Another excellent chapter.
Is this set 10+ years after the show? Just wondering.
6161777
I'm saying it takes place 15-20 years after
ensures that the mane 6 and such aren't going to be a major presence in the story. Though I'm assuming that not much technical progress has been made in Equestria, hence the same technology.
Loved the ending!
6165456
Heh, well, nobody would like to be woken up by the cold water.
6165554
And get cleaned while at it.
great! I know how everyone adores being woken up by cold water, lol. I know I do.
6168709
You could say he just got hosed
6168927 Literally.
Very nice set up and opening
As i've mentioned before, i love the concept, and a pony Like Blizzard warning is a character with lots of potential going forward.
I'm curious to see where this goes and will read on later
Nice Work!
Found one typo:
at least thats what i thought you were going for, if not i'll shut up since i suck at editing xD
6170898
Whoops!
*An
Great chapter though.
6176652
Thanks for pointing that out
Appleoosa*
Or Appleloosa, I don't think it matters. Appaloosa is the name of the horse.
You said 'the' twice at the end.
Nonetheless a great chapter as always.
6180387
Thanks for pointing it out! I may be a pretty good grammar editor, but even I miss things from time to time.
That ending.
I'M DYING HELP.
6180504
Sorry, can't hear you over the shower's noise. It's too loud!
6180508 *Drowning noises*
6180529
whoops need another space between the paragraphs there.
Same thing i drilled Azure on, it's actually better practice to simply use their names. I admit im guilty of doing this from time to time too, but as with my ellipses problem (
), don't make it a habit. stick with names.
i have such a dirty mind... NO BAD CALM WIND!
great introduction of characters
let the protagonist feel it himself as opposed to flat out describing them 11/10 thats pefrect character introduction form bro 
looking forward to reading on, sorry it's taking me so long, you know i have terrible reading speed xD

Thanks for the advice
Glad you enjoyed it.
