Trivial

Still a student at the Royal Canterlot University Department of Equinology, young Daring Do faces a summer with no prospect of adventure. That is, until she is approached by Shifty Gaze, who wants Daring to accompany him on an expedition to a mysterious and legendary cloud ruin. Daring does not trust Shifty, but her curiosity forces her to go along. Daring will soon face challenges unlike she ever had before. And what is Shifty planning?

((This story was written as part of a collaborative effort to write the entire Daring-Do series described on the Just For Fun/Daring-Do page on TV Tropes (that page has spoilers). This series consists of sixteen main Daring-Do books and four Young Daring-Do books. I have the pleasure of presenting the fourth book in the Young Daring-Do series: Daring-Do and the Cloud-Held Eternity. I would like to thank Whiles34, my Story Consultant, and Tutis75, my Editor. Enjoy!))

Now this looks familiar. Well, you know what I think. Nice work on getting it online! :pinkiehappy:

Nice beginning, just the start to the adventure. Setting the background for the the quest through Cloudyon! Looking good. Keep up the good work.

Off to a very good start with this - very much eager to see more.

The stage is set. Now to see what secrets hide in the forgotten halls of Cloudyon... A mystery only Daring Do can solve! The big question remains... will she survive? MWAHAHAHA!! ...*Ahem* sorry. Very nice job of setting up the story, now to see where it heads. Good work so far.

The story takes on the most important staple of all Daring Do stories... traps!! Credit to you for having clever and inventive ones, and extra points for making them effective against flying creatures. Daring has her work cut out for her. And any genre savvy reader knows that if Daring found the treasure by chapter three, there must be trouble on the horizon. The big question is, can Daring escape it?

As a side-note, its interesting how you make the relationship between the two characters. At first it seemed that Shifty was the better archeologist, but now Daring is proving to have more experience. It'll be worth seeing how this plays out. Good work so far, keep it up!

This story is incredible! It puts my stories to such a shame, I'm a little embarrassed.:twilightblush: I've got a long way to go before I reach your level. Maybe it's just that we have different writing styles. Ah well. Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to more!:pinkiehappy:

I just realized. Is the Cloud Held-Eternity based off of the fountain of youth?:unsuresweetie:

Yep. You can take a guess as to what happens next. If you don't mind spoilers, go to http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/JustForFun/DaringDo to find the material that this story is based on.

Wow! Seems like a really interesting series! Why, I'd try to write these books myself, but it looks you've already got it covered. I wouldn't want to be in competition with you. Plus, you do a way better job with Daring Do than my stories.:fluttershysad:

Now you're being too kind. :twilightblush:
When I have the time (which is sadly lacking right now), I'm going to see what you have written. Thanks!

Hey Trivial! Remember me, the akward teenage author who probably misspelled akward. You probably don't.
Anyway! I've started a group called Rookies on the Rise, and you my friend are being invited to join, as you have passed my definition of a "rookie."
Although I feel like I'm insulting you considering you're definitely not new to writing stories. I made this group in an effort to gather new authors on fimfiction to gather and post their stories, hopefully gaining the attention of other new authors. I hope you consider joining, as I feel you'd make a great addition.
Dayum, I sound like I'm recruiting sports players...
So, please consider joining! Welp, until next time! :pinkiehappy:

Don't worry. I remember you. Thanks! I appreciate you thinking of me when starting your group! :twilightblush:
I joined and added my story. This is my first fan-fiction and, indeed, my first fiction ever. I not new to writing, but the only things I've written before this were term papers, library catalogs, and City municipal documents. Thanks again!!! :twilightsmile:

Finally! It's up. I want to apologize for the slow update. It's been a particularly trying couple of weeks for everyone involved in writing and editing this story. I want to give a special thank you to my Editor, Tutis75, for his efforts in getting Ch 4 finished. :twilightsmile:

Reading this chapter on the site, I just realized I really like the font. Just something I wanted to note.

Besides that, the chapter is an effective way to show just how bad the situation is, and how much Daring has to overcome to save herself. Very nice chapter, can't wait for the next one!

looks like a good story cant wait to finish it. :)

i think the back story for cloudyon is very well detailed. great stuff!

im digging the traps in this chapter

Why did I already know Shifty would backstab her? Oh, right, because this story is AWESOME!:rainbowkiss: Can't wait for the next chapter!

Congrats! This is your longest chapter yet! And also where Daring's quest really begins. Had some humor, some angst, a little of everything. Now its time to see how our heroine can save herself, and the world from Shifty's plan! ...If he has any world domination plans. >.>

Hey! Its shadowslilfoamy from DA i got an FiM account so i can help out. Im really excited to begin working on this!

Hi! I look forward to working with you on the art!

Lovely lovely, just lovely!

Excuse me I will be reading this shortly and was wondering as to the status of the other books in the aforementioned series? I'd like to collect them.

I'm afraid that I don't really know myself. :twilightblush: This is the only one I'm doing and I don't have a lot of communication with the other authors. However, I know that a few of them have started to appear on this site. Check out the TVTropes/JustForFun/DaringDo page for a list of the titles. Thanks! :twilightsmile:

Any chance you'll be coming back to this story sometime? Been eager to see more for a long while.

Thanks for asking! :twilightsmile: Yes, I will be getting back to this story: it's just in hiatus, not dead. Life's just been so crazy with all sorts of different things happening (not to mention a dayjob :facehoof:) . I also need to figure out what Equestria Daily means by "show vs ell issues" and how to fix those. :twilightblush:
