    The Dragon Game

    You know the one.


    A sheaf of papers, prefaced with a short letter, all written in a sturdy, simple hand.

    Abbot Stillwater,

    A new project, and an explanation!

    Hey folks,

    Alternate title for this blog post: I'm Doing a Thing (and I'm looking for help)

    I don't think anyone is surprised that my pony writing has been on a bit of a hiatus for a while, and my presence on this site is mostly to lurk-and-read rather than finish my long-delayed stories. What you might not know, though, is what I've been doing instead of pony writing.

Because why not: Merry Christmas! · 5:48am Dec 24th, 2015

Hey folks,

You might be thinking, based on the title, that I've done something for my readers. Sadly, this is not so. Instead, I've done something for myself.

Sometimes you just get an idea that's fun to write. You know it's weird, you know people will complain. You know it won't make the feature box.

But you don't care, because you're having so much fun writing it. So it is with me and Rainbow Dash, and I finally have an excuse to write her the way I want. Introducing...

The Adventures of Rainbow Dash, Iceberg Wrangler!

Air icebergs! They're a totally real thing. Terrors of the sky.

It takes a brave pony to tackle these monsters. A pony willing to risk her life for fame, glory and the admiration of foals everywhere. A pony who doesn't know the meaning of the word surrender.

Rainbow Dash might not know much about flying icebergs or airships or basic safety protocols, but that's fine. Rules are for boring ponies, and if there's one thing Rainbow Dash has never been accused of, it's being boring. So lookout, everypony! There's a new iceberg wrangler in town, and the skies are never going to be the same.

Do air icebergs sound crazy to you? They should – they're a pretty crazy idea. But what good is this fandom, if not for writing crazy ideas?

I'll be updating this story pretty often with short vignettes featuring Rainbow Dash and her pals in the iceberg wrangling business. Where will it go? Beats me!

You really think something you wrote won't make the feature box?

How crazy is it really? I could call that mass of ice at the Equestria Games an air iceberg.

You know it won't make the feature box.

I crawled out of the Australian wilds to find wifi and this is what I discover.


Good.

It is certainly a lot of fun so far.

Clearly, you need to write more chapters about chess.

Oh, and congrats on your 100th blog!

It was the largest zeppelin ever, with some of the most extravagant and lavish passenger accommodations in Equestria. Said to be unsinkable, it set sail from Great Griffon en route to Manehattan on its maiden voyage, but while passing through a tall bank of wispy clouds, a terrifying shout rang out.

"Icecloud! Dead ahead!"

"Rainbow Dash!" bellowed Princess Twilight Sparkle. "Let go of Fluttershy and get off the bow of the ship! This is supposed to be a pleasure cruise, not some way for you to live out your dreams of becoming a movie actress!"

Merry Christmas to you too!

I don't have time to read it right at this moment (dinner's almost ready), but "Air icebergs! They're a totally real thing," is probably the best sentence I've read in a while. You wrote this for yourself, you say? Well, I'm looking forward to it anyway :raritystarry:

Will Rainbow Dash be beating anybody up in The Adventures of Rainbow Dash, Iceberg Wrangler! ?
