This story is a sequel to The Do Dilemma
Daring Do's adventures are regarded as fiction. And yes, some elements are fictional and exaggerated. But is there some truth to the stories? The answer is a bit more complicated than you'd think, as Daring adds a special letter in her package to Rainbow Dash. This is that letter.
A mini-epilogue to the episode Daring Don't that ties in with The Do Dilemma.

Maybe not "epic" but definitely pretty good!
3594223 Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
This was really neat.
Personally I believe Rainbow Dash was dreaming.
It wasn't really terrible or anything, but it left out one important detail: The whole point on HOW Daring Do is real. That episode did a very poor job of explaining it.
Also, RD can withstand against Ahuizotl better than THAT; the episode was rushed badly; and wouldn't those traps in the first book no longer work after all those years, in the first Daring Do episode I just shrugged it off as a story in a story, but now it's a non-fiction story in a fictional story.
Plus the first fight scene looked staged.
3594660 Well, that's why I wrote this story: To explain how Daring Do is real with my own headcanon.
Also, I think Ahuizotl would maintain his deathtraps, even after all that time. Plus, Dashie was overenthusiastic; she's bound to make a few mistakes. She made plenty in the episode; that's for sure.
The pacing could've been tweaked, though. On that, we can agree.
Hm, pretty good. there was a little confusion in the middle but over all still good
That's good. And it can probably increase stability of the book worlds that there are original Daring Do and Tailspin who don't depend on books and spells to live.
That also changes Nihilmodo's role. He found a way to use changelings' spells to actually influence the real world, he needed to test his theory on something, and he did it the changeling (evil) way, but now that his plot didn't majorly involve original Daring Do (but it could), he seems more like a scientist. And his spell is interesting: now they can clone ponies or produce arbitrary new ponies, and that can do a lot of good, and evil, and chaos...
3595466 I, suggest reading The Do Dilemma again; Nihilmodo's plan in particular. Because it's really not that simple.
Though I'd say a good two-thirds of your speculation was spot-on, so there's that.
Wanna collab someday? In my own headcanon, Twilight and her friends created humanity through fiction, while Lyra is responsible for us creating the ponies and all of Equestria.
As for Daring Don't, like every other episode of season 4 thus far it has done nothing but AID my headcanon (not the part of the Mane 6 creating humanity; a different part). The only gripe I had with the episode was that Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy were nothing but deadweight following the party scene.
As for this 'sequel', it's awesome and I think everyone whom detested the episode should read it.
3599091 Wow. That's, uh... That's certainly something.
I'll think about the collab, but for now, I'm glad you enjoyed the story.
This was great
Awesome! Nice story
There was a canon show that made Daring Do turned out to be real and everything there was real. Once again, Canon foiled us, that rascal!
4290139 Canon foils us only if we allow it to foil us. If this story is any indication, that's not how I roll.
I'll admit, I never really cared for Daring Don't. I get the idea it had of meeting your heroes in person and that the character in a story is real, but it just seemed off to me. I honestly don't think that the "real" Daring Do should be exactly like her literary self in every sense of the word--which is why I guess I like this story saying that some of it is "fictionalized" or others I've read where Daring actually is quite different than you would expect. So while it may be flawed, I've at least come to terms with that episode thanks to some stories like this. Good job.
Well written. The only thing I'm confused is the Scootaloo reference. I have no idea what you're talking about there.
Other than that, awesome.
5912544 Well, this is a sequel to one of my earlier works, The Do Dilemma. The bit with Scootaloo refers to the events of that tale (in fact, I explicitly said that in the description). Otherwise, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
What do you mean you can't? It would be hilarious!
