I have a new story in the queue: The Pursuit of Academic Excellence (and Ice Cream). A sequel to The Brightest and the Best, in which I explore what happened at Princess Celestia’s School immediately after Twilight passed her entrance exam.
While the story of Twilight’s rise to fame as Equestria’s fourth princess, and the further adventures of Spike the Dragon has been fully documented by the show and countless fanfics, hardly anyone has given a thought about what happened to those poor examiners. I think they need a little more love. Teaching is a demanding profession. Being an examiner at Celestia’s School is a position with extra work-related stress and significant personal and professional risks. We can hope that in future years, the Equestrian Ministry of Education provided them with greater protection.
A big thank you to gardrek for pre-reading.
In unrelated news, Canterlot has, for the first time in history, been unable to keep up with demands for coffee. Several local businesses fave failed after reportedly running out of coffee.
