Love this
Clever :)
I, actually have my own theory as to why Daring made her stories "fiction," but promoting that headcanon here would be bad form on my part.
This is pretty funny stuff, and an interesting take on the aftermath of A.K. Yearling's true identity being revealed to the public. I especially love the phrases you chose to censor the more *ahem* colorful language. That was simply priceless.
This might not be one of Daring's more epic adventures, but it's certainly gonna be one of her more hilarious ones. I'm definitely keeping my eye on this.

No! Headcanon is meant to be shared!
3598589 Well, the thing is that I highlighted it in one of my own stories, which is why I said it was bad form to promote it here.
However, I'll leave that to the original author's discretion.
Ha! I imagine we going to see a number of these types of stories published in the coming days.
Well, everyone is now screwed.
Including the readers, publishers, authors and characters involved in this story.
...
...
...
Welp, I'm going home now.
You do have to wonder how much trouble Daring Do would get in if ponies and other species found out she was real and has probably been breaking some rules on her treasure hunts.
I wonder why the show people went that direction anyway? Personally, I think they should of left Daring to be fiction-in-fiction.
…Gotta learn those replacements for various expletives.
Aaaaaaaaand reality ensues.
Good work author, that's a track and a thumbs up from me.
I have to say I'm loving where this is going and look forward to reading more of this. I like the fact that you managed to address the aftermath of what happened in the episode and hope more things are addressed. I feel that Bezzle calling Twilight stupid is not the bightest of ideas and the fact that she's in the book s one of these things that I hope are address.
Oh, poor Bezzle
Wait, incomplete? INCOMPLETE?! UR ACTUALLY GONNA CONTINUE THIS?!
You, sir, are awesome.
Honestly tho, you probably could have left off where the chapter ends and leave the rest to the reader's imagination. But it looks like you're not. That makes you awesome. To say the least, I eagerly look forward to where this is going.
Bezzle is gonna have to rethink this when daring do crashes in through the window
PLEASE CONTINUE!!!

In Bezzle Mint's defense, he's somewhat stressed, hungover, and he called Daring Do FAR worse things than stupid. Twilight should feel lucky for such a minor insult in that tirade of foul language.
sequel?
3598598
I don't mind if you want. Actually, after you said that, I decided to take a look at your story and I must say I did find the premise fascinating.
3599549
Uh-oh...
3603009>>3603968
Well...it is incomplete...
3604051
I thought this was a one shot, I thought it said complete
3604028 Well, thank you. But there's a reason I put that headcanon into its own story: It takes a while to explain. Plus, I don't want to derail the comment section of this story, so I'll have to decline on that front. That being said, I'm glad you found my take on things fascinating.
I'm going to watch this...

This is my theory on what's going to happen. Daring is going to go find Bezzle, they're going to talk. Then some baddy is going to come along, kidnap both of them. Then the two of them are going to have to go on a very long comedic bonding adventure across the country. (Basically Indiana Jones but with comedy) Like a Herald and Kumar story.
That's my theory I hope it happens and boy am I going to love this!
I (minotaur expression of attraction) loved this.
First off, that was fast.
Secondly, that was fast.
Oh, and good show, jolly good! Have a favourite from yours truly :)
Then Daring Do encounters her publisher for a dinner, and the publisher is swept up into a full-scale Daring Do adventure against her will, a la Hitchhiker's Guide.
Next chapter pls.
The episode just came out and already great stories are coming out!
Next chapter, plz!

Damn, they figured out Daring Do is going to end up (not doing too well).
Parchment... I knew they weren't keeping those pigs just for garbage disposal...
I love the concept from the show. "I have secrets... therefore I publish them in a bestselling series of books."
OH SNAP someones about to get slapped! I loved the story next chapter please.=3
Heh, likin' this so far, glad to see that it's "incomplete", and you intend to continue the story!
Kinda with Bezzle here Daring, the moment when both legal and slightly less legal forces are tearing apart your business you jump ship of whatever enterprise has caused it.
Wonderful story, good work.
Interesting. Though, I figured Twilight's mom, Twilight Velvet, also played a key role among the ones mass producing Daring's books, due to her awards for the Daring Do series in the comics. Though, even though she has the awards, it never specified what her role in the series was. She's also likely the way Twilight found out about her. I don't see Twilight as the type to spread the info about Daring being real though, since all but Rainbow Dash were willing to let her keep her privacy.... Rainbow, however... Yeah, I could see her spreading the info. XD
And technically, all the places she visited were ruins, ones left behind, so I don't think it'd be as serious as that in regards to the things mentioned. However, the bit about her villains discovering the truth about her... yeah, major problem there.
3599801 Whatever the reason, I'm not complaining as it did nothing but aid my headcanon. And no, I don't mean to say I always thought Daring Do was the author of her own books. Rather, her personality and place of residence supports something I believe happened immediately following Nightmare Moon's banishment a thousand years prior.

Well...I mean there are ruins in Equestria. And several other countries today keep ruins around. So it isn't entirely impossible that some kingdoms have ruins that, technically being under their territory, are their property. Therefore, it would be safe to assume that if someone had gone into their country, raided their ruins which contained treasures in their kingdom, they'd be a little pissed.
Nonetheless, I'm glad you took interest in this
i love the concept on this one. +fav!
3612967
At least she's not in Fallout, where everything is basically a ruin and you grab every valuable thing you can before something starts chasing after you.
3614657
Okay, you deserve that one ;)
Mah sides....
This does point out some of the problems with the episode... not all of them, but some.
While it was a silly little episodic tale, I really have to hope it affects exactly nothing meta-canon-wise and it never mentioned again.
It felt like it belonged on "Regular Show", where random outrageous crap happens constantly with no logic whatsoever and only works because no one expects the show to ever be serious about its storytelling.
Dat, 'Edited' Letter. :3
Bezzle Mint is going to publish the book and he's going to publish it more than anything.
3615393
Honestly, I don't really care. Equestria already feels like a world where logic doesn't take place, so why let it bother me?
That's right, the evil Bezzle is attempting to have a livelihood, which Daring just inadvertently destroyed! It's quite clear who needs to apologize in this situation!
3612967 Don't you think she could get a pass on this though? If she's anything like the Dr. Jones she's based off of then most of the artifacts she took and villains she took out would have world ending consequences if left alone.
