"Do you know why we called you here today?"
"Because more Equestrian magic's on the loose."
"That is correct."
"Alright, I'll see what I can do. Where is it?"
"Everywhere, Miss Shimmer."

I’m sorry, but is there a story behind this?
10827924
I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean is there a specific reason I wrote this, or was there something that I left unexplained?
10827960
Both.
10828118
Regarding the reason for writing this, it's no different than the reason any other story is written; because I had an idea and wished to write about it. Regarding its connection to the previous story, they are both parts of a larger continuity, basically forming Chapters 1 and 2 of the bigger story I'm working on.
Now, about the second part, what specific things did I fail to explain properly?
10828187
So many things aren’t explain, honestly. It’s like so random.
10828205
Ah. Hopefully I can explain things satisfactorily in the following stories, then.
I'd like to see this report. It could be hilarious.
10828798
So there’s more?
10828922
Yes, sorry; should have made that clearer. There is more to come.
10828932
How many?
10829081
Quite a bit. If this is Chapter 2, maybe going up to Chapter 20 or further.
10829101
Chapter 2?
10829190
Treating the previous story as Chapter 1, this would be Chapter 2, and we can expect to go up to Chapter 20 or further, if the metaphor makes sense.
10829200
If the previous story is chapter one, then what’s the one before that?
10829217
The prologue.
10829314
Oh ok. And it goes up to chapter 20+?
10829477
More the sense that "yes, there is still plenty of story left." Exact numbers are still a bit murky (as is, actually, most of the story itself...)
10829547
Makes sense. So are we gonna see others with magic like the rainbooms and wallflower or is it just them?
10829599
Magic isn't just affecting Sunset and her friends; it's affecting everywhere, from sea to sea to sea. Magic's making a comeback, one not bound by geography. Yes, expect to see others, plenty of others, with magic, though probably not as advanced as the girls'.
10830242
What do you mean by advanced?
10830363
Don't necessarily expect them to have as much training in it, I mean.
10830450
What kind of magic powers can we expect?
10830579
We'll have to wait and see.
10830581
Cool. Can’t wait.
Okay, with full context, I do think The Lay of Canterlot would work better as another chapter of this story. Also, while I can appreciate the air of mystery and wonder as you craft your world, I do feel like the more mundane aspects of the setting need to be fleshed out in greater detail. When the setting seems like generic Americanada, throwing in this constitutional monarchy with an unknown map can be disorienting.
Still, this is amazing stuff thus far. It's wonderful to see someone so talented and inspired come in at this late stage of the fandom, and I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing what more you have in store.
10830759
Yeah, I definitely get where you're coming from. The problem is, I do have a lot of ideas regarding the setting of EG, but I don't want to simply do a worldbuilding vomit-dump about them. I was hoping I would be able to do it more implicitly, gradually and naturally being revealed through the course of the story, but it sounds like I might be doing that a bit too gradually.
Thank you for the feedback, I'll try to keep it in mind. And thanks for the kind words, glad to know you like it!

Blogs are always an option. They're a great way to provide supplemental material that won't organically fit into stories.
10830967
Oh, thanks for the idea!
Noooope. Nope, nope, nope. 1001 kinds of NOPE. All aboard the NOPE Train to Fyay-That-istan.
Predestination is a load of road apples. If you can see the future, and you don't like it: CHANGE IT. Go all Xenoblade on her ass and decide the future for yourself!

Celestia knows this, don't worry. Sadly, she also knows that her dreams don't show her everything; her actions may do nothing to actually stop Starlight, or they may even end up helping her. For all she knows, her trying to stop Starlight might end up being the final push needed to convince her to go forward with the horrors Celestia saw. Celestia will do everything in her power to stop Starlight, as soon as she manages to figure out what that actually is.
