I really enjoyed this! Always been curious to the exploits of the Daring Do books and I'm sure this would have been one of them :pinkiehappy:

Keep up the good work! :twilightsmile:

*chuckles* Nice to see this sample from Colt's Own Adventures:rainbowkiss:

they were a hopeless tangle of knots and loops that only Bucephalus the Great could chop through

I see what you did there.

Excellent story! Short and sweet and a very fun read!

Pretty good. It's nothing extremely remarkable, but it's definitely a well-written suggestion of what Daring Do's adventures are like, and the references to Indiana Jones and Alan Quartermain were nice.

> Bucephalus the Great

Instant upvote.

This was really fun! Although I will admit the Monocle-Do back and forth was definitely the best part. It was a really fun take on Daring Do as well and over all I'm really glad you wrote this story. It was nice to see an adventure that didn't have to sprawl over 10+ chapters to be thoroughly exciting and enjoyable.

That was a very nice short story. The dialogue was especially great. Well done!

"Really? I thought a day's work for an archeologist was making a sort of grid with string and wooden stakes over a patch of dirt and digging about for shards of pottery and the like."

Thanks! I appreciate the big eyeball of the Seattle's Angel's crew falling upon my little pulp terpsichore and giving it a nice nod of approval. :pinkiehappy:

Glad you enjoyed it. :twilightsmile:

Well, that was funny as balls. Good show!

So Awesome! :rainbowkiss:

*Grins* Very nice. I especially loved the Eeni Meeni's attitude to Daring's impersonation.:pinkiehappy:

I remember leaving a comment for this story on another site, but I cannot find it for some reason. Well, since it's Seattle's Angels, I'll drop something here.

The adventure feels more like Allan Quartermain than Indiana Jones, but Daring Do does bear enough resemblances to both characters, so it feels appropriate. It's a pretty exciting tale, though I recall feeling a little dry when I read it however many months ago. It lacks that "something special" that Timothy Zahn's writing contributes to Star Wars novels, or that J.W. Rinzler's writing contributed to the one Indiana Jones novelette he wrote. Still, it's a solid Daring adventure, and I definitely enjoyed it.

McMonocle raised a tufted grey eyebrow and settled his lens back in place. "Really? I thought a day's work for an archeologist was making a sort of grid with string and wooden stakes over a patch of dirt and digging about for shards of pottery and the like."

A wonderful lampshade hanging!
