Rules
The rules of this group are pretty simple. Don't harass other members, be respectful of others, use some common sense, and play nice. Also, this is the Rainbow Dash group, so please don't go posting stories that don't involve Rainbow in our folders. A story is worthy to be submitted into a folder as long as Dash has a main role in the fic. If she doesn't, than please go and find the correct group for the fic instead.
Contests
Every so often, the admins of the Rainbow Dash group will be hosting a writing contest. We will supply a prompt for all of you to go off and write. The contest will be announced in the forums, and periodically we will remind everyone of the of the due date. The admins will judge the fics, than post the results in another forum post.
Contests are currently on haitus.
If you have a problem with another member, or would like to make a suggestion, you can contact any of these admins.
Hello, I have a message from Dramamaster. He knows that he's been blocked. He wants to leave the group on his own but can't because due to the blocking and the notifications.
I found this funny MLP fancomic strip where Rainbow Dash was born as a result of a rainbow apple + unicorn magic, and I think I’d be interesting to see an AU fanfiction of what might’ve happened if Rainbow really ended up being born that way. I’m not good at creating an original starting point for a fanfiction, but it would be cool if someone else can. Also, here’s a link to the comic strip I was talking about. I think you would need the artist’s permission to make a follow up to this.

can anyone remember the title of the story where Rainbow turns into different animals?
Is there a form where I can ask help for finding a story about rainbow dash? it’s a one shot I think about a guy killing rainbows sister when she was a kid
Came here in search of possible dark and sad RD fics, hopefully I can find some good ones here. Also, now that I’m a part of this, I have quite a few RD fics I want to add.
Thanks for having me here, and remember, Rainbow Dash is best pony!
(Nobody had posted here in the comments in nearly a year so I thought it was about time I put one here lol)
If y'all don't mind, I could use some pre-reading on a story of mine!
- MLP: FiM
- Horror
- Slice of Life
- Tragedy
Rainbow Dash is forced to confront the ghosts of her past and the life she left behind. Lest the one she built for herself crumbles in her hooves.This is why Rainbow Dash is my favourite Pegasus.
rainbow dash is best pony <3
Hey there! Hope everyone’s having a good afternoon! I’m not sure who makes folders but I was wondering if I could make a suggestion? I think we should have a folder for the childhood Rainbow dash stories, particularly the ones that involve her and Fluttershy doing things together when they were younger. That’s all!
I have story ideas on my blog posts, ones starring Rainbow Dash, and some not if you want to look and maybe adapt them. I'll have more story ideas in the future. If you want to adapt them, then by all means go head, just make it good. Sorry if I sounded to demanding at the end there.
Rainbow Dash rules! It would've been great if she was the star of the show! That would've been awesome!
Long time members of this group may remember my impassioned speech against the story "The Day Dash wasn't Loyal". If you don't, here it is again. Rainbow Dash is indeed best pony, and I came to that decision after reading The Day Dash wasn't Loyal and realizing that the author of that story obviously didn't pick up the not-so-subtle hints (read: IT CAME RIGHT OUT AND SAID THAT THEY WERE!) that Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash were friends and that their friendship extended beyond the type of friendship that is shared between a devoted fan and the person being idolized. In order to make sure that you understand that I am not unduly bashing that author I will make sure to back up my bashing of the author. And so, here is a quote from one of the author's notes: ...a few elements from the show and the idea that Rainbow only sees Scootaloo as a fan, and not a friend that truly wants to learn from her. That's how I view their friendship anyway, Rainbow does appear to become a little more supportive in the show, but I've yet to see that their friendship reaching that point of where the two of them could be there for each other on any given day of the week. Later on in the story, "This is my fault." Twilight turned to see Rainbow Dash on her cloud, their eyes locked and refused to break apart. Instead of the verbal lashing Rainbow expected about disregarding her health and safety, Twilight responded with two words that cut deep. "It is." Twilight said flatly, but that didn't stop her from changing the subject to Rainbow's relief "How did you find me?" she asked, "I saw you flying around, you've been up in the air for two hours." This means that this story happened after Twilight became an alicorn, which means that it happened after Rainbow Dash begins to show signs of thinking of Scootaloo as more than just another annoying fan, which started when she willingly agreed to take Scootaloo under her wing as a big sister figure and not only does she do that in the episode, but she also comforts Scootaloo after finding out that Scootaloo is having nightmares about the scary stories that Rainbow Dash told, in the episode "Sleepless in Ponyville", however, you probably all know that already. Now, as the story says nothing about it being an alternate universe story where that didn't happen, then that is the first strike against the author of that story. Now, as the transformation happened at the end of Season 3, then I can see the 2nd event not having occurred yet, however, as the author doesn't specifically say that the 2nd event has yet to occur, I am also going to list that event. 2nd, she has gone out of her way to make sure that Scootaloo knows just how awesome Rainbow Dash thinks that Scootaloo is "Flight to the Finish", again, you probably already know about this one as well. I'm just saying that if someone is going to slander Rainbow Dash's good, loyal name, then that someone had best be on guard for the people that pay attention to canon! But back to why the friendship between the two makes me extremely happy and convinces me of why Rainbow Dash is the best pony. The reason that the friendship between the two makes me feel that Rainbow Dash is the best pony is because while their relationship might have started out the way that this author thought, Rainbow Dash was actually willing to act as a big sister figure towards Scootaloo. Not many famous people are willing to do that for their fans, which is understandable but still an important part of why Rainbow Dash is the best pony. Hopefully, you'll see that I am trying to uphold Rainbow Dash's integrity here, and not get an emotional reaction out of any of you (unless those emotions are the ones displayed by Patrick Stewart in this here clip:
about the premise of that story.) I mean, if that story was in an alternate universe or before the aforementioned seasons, then I wouldn't have a problem with the premise and the story would be a great story. It would even explain why they were so close and why she was so willing to become Scootaloo's big sister. HOWEVER, AS IT WASN'T AND AS IT DIDN'T GO BEFORE THE 2 AFOREMENTIONED SEASONS, THIS TYPE OF RAINBOW BASHING SHALL NOT GO UNPUNISHED! so the storming of the castle (otherwise known as the story) will occur as soon as I gather the materials (meaning you,) because only you can help prevent the slandering of Rainbow Dash's good name. Also, the story wasn't even a dark story, where, I've noticed, that characters can be expected to act out of character. So who's with me?!?!?!?!?! Or is it possible that I am taking this a little too personally? Nah. that isn't it. Right? Right? Right!
However...I recently watched the episode The Last Crusade. With that in mind, allow me to say the following: WTF Rainbow Dash? You should have intervened on your honorary sister's behalf. If the fact that they weren't around for Scootaloo getting her cutie mark (one of the most important events to ever happen to a pony in their entire lives) didn't tip you off to the fact that her parents cared more about their jobs than they did their ONLY DAUGHTER, then the fact that the second that they reentered her life they were trying to take her away from her friends DEFINITELY should have.
Why, Rainbow Dash? Why?
For those who want to know how she could have intervened, its simple. ECPS. The Equestrian Child Protective Services. Why would that have worked, you might be wondering? Because Scootaloo was left ALONE in Ponyville for years. As far as her parents knew, she could have been seriously injured. You might be thinking that surely that wouldn't hold up in a court of law, but when you take Rainbow Dash's past exploits and the fact that she has always been there for Scootaloo into account, as well as her current occupation, then you've got yourself a jury that just can't wait to give her custody over Scootaloo. Now, sure, Scootaloo might be a bit upset at first, but Rainbow Dash can even fix that through some emotional manipulation, and while at first that might appear to be terrible, I'm sure that if Scootaloo really means as much to Rainbow Dash as it would appear (what with how Rainbow Dash made Scootaloo her honorary little sister, and how Rainbow Dash has always been there for Scootaloo when it was important), it would only technically be emotional manipulation, seeing as how Rainbow Dash wouldn't be responsible for how Scootaloo reacted to her crying over the thought of never seeing Scootaloo again.
Could I put an OC x Dash story in the romance folder?
Hello everyone! I just joined your group and thought it would be polite to say hi. I hope you are having a wonderful day full of inspiration.
Could some of you perhaps help me with a question? See, I used to be a bit of a loner when it comes to writing and only recently decided to find out what the groups on FIMFiction have to offer. So… what usually happens in a group like this? I understand you can add stories to folders that correspond with the kind of story you have made. Can I do that right now or must I ask for permission? Should I announce my stories as well? Do you have any tips and tricks on how to make the most out of this group? I hope you can help me out. Thanks in advance! 
Lots of love,
Elkia
Happy Hearthswarming everyone
