DONE · 7:22am Feb 13th, 2017
Oh Goddess, it is done.
And that ending.
Feel free to discuss.
I don't know how I feel right now. Princess Twilight Sparkle's School for Fantastic Foals was a monumental project and at times, it was a real pain in the ass as I tried to learn to write much gooder. I feel brain dead and derpy at the moment, I've been going since early this morning and of course, within mere moments of hitting the complete button, somebody had to start shit and ruin my glorious moment where I felt a rewarding sense of accomplishment.
Princess Twilight Sparkle's School for Fantastic Foals: Winter Break is coming and we'll learn more about the aftermath. The Perilous Gestation of Swans can now also be written without the worry of MAJOR SPOILERS. I think for Winter Break, I might commission some cover art of Sumac. Any suggestions on who I might hit up?
I think I am going to pour myself a glass of rum. Excuse me.

What will the "The Perilous Gestation of Swans" be about?
4420132
It is the sequel to The Perilous Romance of Swans.
4420134 Oh alright. Have you considered making the sequel for "A Blanket, a Basket, and a Bundle of Bills" yet?
4420136
I actually have bits and pieces of that scratched out. Parts. Spring Break.
4420137 What does that mean exactly?
I was going to ask this on the story, but here will be better - do you have a timeline you can post/link for the Weedverse fics? Like, roughly when they happen in relation to each other?
4420142
The forums. Go check the forums!
4420142 In the weedverse group there is a thread with a timeline pic that's updated as he writes and adds new stories to the verse
4420139
It means that I am working on it, but I am swamped.
Dude, congratulations! The ending totally caught me off-guard, which I think is a good thing. And of course it left hooks into which the next story can connect.
I too will have some Rum. With Orange Juice.
Congrats again!
Congrats~! I know it's been rough going but this has definitely been a good wild ride showing how Sumac, Pebble, Trixie, Lemon Hearts, Twilight, Olive, and even Discord have grown. And I know I'm forgetting some characters there too but it's late.
The ending was unexpected but clicked the moment I thought about it. The interesting thing with a lot of your weedverse endings so far is that they segue so smoothly into sequels and the grand narrative in general that even if the events are abrupt, the ending never feels like the story is finished, more that the track is over and there will be a pause until the next one starts up. It's something I've only ever encountered in really long series with a large scope, and as you have at least three core stories running at the same time that are all interconnected with themselves and others, it's, well it's hard to articulate the pleasant sensation of something being accomplished and open at the same time. I doubt I would encounter it anywhere but here, reading your work.
You do good work. Looking forward to more stories from you.
Dose anyone else want to see Twilight Velvit and Night Light raise baby Chrysalis?
However with how insanely busy both are... my bits are on Tarnish taking her in.
Congratulations on finishing another fine story. Take a day or two off to enjoy yourself.
You might try Kat Miller a.k.a. Foxenawolf for art. Goldfur on this site uses her art for a number of his stories looking forward to whatever you post next
4420131 Best. Gif. Ever !
Also, I NEED to know if Olive is okay. I mean, yeah, she survived. Probably. Lukely. Hopely ? But she´ll make a full recover !? No Olive, don´t go to the light...it´s a trap !

4420131 "Luna Luna look it's happening!"
'Talk about shaking the heavens.'
'Careful Tia, don't knock a pregnant mare around like that!'
4420216 Going to suggest the same, her pics are good, if need a donation towards it, post a blog asking.
Enjoy that drink. You've more than earned it.
Professionalism. I see it.
Congrats, i feel that winter break will give rest to our curiosities and we finally get more of Gosling. And I'm willing to bet that Celestia is the one who has to take the egg.

Here's another vote for Kat. If her style isn't what you want, try Baron-Engel or Inohoshi-to-Darkpen... both are on DeviantArt. I'd link but, ya know, some NSFW.
Sumac looked at the egg. "Really?"
Princess Celestia nodded. "You've proven you can take care of Boomer, from hatching to the... unique individual she is now."
"Isn't this just a little..." Sumac waved a hoof at the egg, trying to come up with a word.
"Bigger. Yes, it is." Celestia smiled with all the warmth of the morning. "You'll do just fine. Particularly with Trixie's help. Once Luna convinces her."
"I'm not coming down out of the tree until that egg is gone!" drifted Trixie's voice through the window. "Make it into an omelet for all I care!"
"It might take a while," said Celestia.

4420243 See most of Baron-Engel (baroncoon) on Furaffinity not familiar with Inohoshi-to-Darkpen.
will say baron-engel has done some really impressive buildings for equestria as well
Begging your pardon but who is going to lead the Changelings after stupid Discord devolved their Queen into an egg?!
4420483 Good question, second in command or a daughter?
Sorry about that, Kuds. I can be a bit of a buzzkill at times.
4420677
It wasn't you.
4420684
Oh, good.
4420472
Meh... I messed up the name slightly. It's InuHoshi-to-DarkPen. I'll PM ya the DA addy if'n you want.
Congratulations on another great story completed. Not to be demanding or unappreciative, but is there an actionable plan for further work on Blank and The Mask Makes the Pony? I'm pretty enthused about both, although I haven't really stated that in the comments.
4420929
Mask yes... Blank maybe. I want to do something saucy with Blank, but I'm having a bitch of a mental block on that issue due to depression.
4420930 Well shit I thought you were just on the lam, not facing internal issues as well. Hope things get better for you.
All in all I liked it. I do wish we had something of an epilogue conscerning:
What happened to Moondancer after she was rescued with the captured foals, did she get psyche help and join Sparkle's Spartans or did she go to Luna's Asylum for Wayward Unicorns?
Did Olive die? It was hinted at that she probably had a collapsed lung and other internal damage from Chrssy's thrashing. Does she ever confess her crush, or give that aspiration up after almost killing Sumac at his behest?
After being exposed to a TON of changeling magic did Sumac's Warlock ability proc any new inventions magical theory wise? I'm curious as he explains magic to the reader in interesting ways.
Does Twinkleshine ever hop on the Trixie/Lemon Hearts herd, or remain a plutonic supportive aunt?
Does Sumac ever invent anything, as was hinted at with the boiler repair and his father's talent for machines, or does he become an undertaker and tend to the quiet places where death is revered? Does he meet Lima at some point, or is that a Flicker only thing?
How did the Element of Magic not have a spell to detect changelings after what happened at Cadences wedding? The Weedverse ignores the Season 6 finale I presume where Chrysalis is stripped of her hive as the changelings became bug ponies. Is it because they change their physical makeup SO much detection spells without constant analysis and renewal eventually become avoidable?

Almost everything will be answered in later installments. PTSSFF: Winter Break is coming.
4421207
Ah, good, I worried it would take place after another time jump like in the Quesadilla Conquest where everything is quite a bit further resolved.
4421217
Winter Break is more than a clever name. Ponyville needs time to recover after half of the town had been infiltrated. Ponies need time to sort things out. School is cancelled and everypony is ordered to take a holiday and get their head straight.
Congrats! On to bigger, better, and cheesier things!
