Your friendly neighborhood mechanic / fanfic writer. Don't worry, I'm good at both! :D

T

Name's Gilda. Ya know, me n Dash did a bunch of crazy stuff back at flight camp. I remember this one time when we... eh, maybe I should start at the beginning... how we met.

A continuation of Dash Eats Meat! (Reading not necessary)

wat

Is this like a continuation of dash eats meat or something? Description is VERY similar.

EDIT: Oh wow, I didn't even bother to read the last sentence of the description. I'm stupid.

You may eat me

Cool! Looks great. :twilightsmile: Call me stupid if you like but...whats a dweeb? Something like a twerp?:rainbowhuh:

Y1

Oh I always have a soft spot for Gilda for some reason, ever since I wrote about her. This is certainly amusing and I'm interested to know if this will just be a collection of little stories like this one or if there will be a more connected plot behind it?

Hmm, gotta sleep right now. Will read later when driving to Indiana

812907 It's like loser.... Now what's a twerp?

812907 Pretty much, yeah. A person (or pony in this case) who is uncool by the standards of whoever is saying 'dweeb'.
For example, a lot of people who would read what I'm saying here would probably call me dweeb.

So now Gilda has a last-name! I like it! :pinkiehappy:

Keep up the awesome story, Brony!

812880 Om nom nom :pinkiecrazy:

812956 A little bit of both.

813261 Will do! :rainbowkiss:

YAY! FUCK YAY! I hoped this would come to existence. And it did. Thank you.

Cool! I can't wait for more. Gilda is hella awesome in her own way, and the way you portray her is great. Keep it up!

813034 umm, something boys sometimes call boys they don't like and are smaller than they (the first boys) are. Mostly, ish.

Charming story, your 'voice' for Gilda really rings true. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

One thing jumped out at me, though -- not a flaw in the story, just something Gilda seems to have glossed over: pegasi may not hunt, but they do have a practical use for flight beyond aerobatics, in that they're responsible for the weather. Even if the camp emphasizes sports, it seems likely that weather control basics would be part of the curriculum, which raises the question of whether a griffon can be taught anything in that area beyond pushing clouds around... and if not, how Gilda might react to being stuck in the wee-little-filly groups when weather training comes up...

814699 That's a very good point, I'll probably write that into the next chapter or so.

813948 Welcome!

814295 Thanks! And will do!

I fucking love Glida. She should be in more stories. It was too shoooooort. I want more chapters now! Or..soon. Something! *Sadface*

828437 I'm working on them :derpytongue2: in the mean time, get me some more views lol

Wait, this story's alive?:pinkiegasp:

And what's this about a writer's block? Just put Gilda & Dash in a situation that normally happens while growing up, like crushing on a teacher or finding some porn in the trash. (Admit it, one's more likely for Gilda & Dash than the other.)

897681 I have no intention of abandoning this story, I really like it. :rainbowdetermined2:

I am absolutely loving this.

I am glad I found it, I thought Dash eats meat was too short.

It's okay! We forgive you~

A sweet little tender moment the two of them have.

well, this was pute dawww

Hmmm... *clicks on next chapter*

Hmm....

:trixieshiftleft: ... :trixieshiftright:


We'll just have to wait and see...

937208 Where this goes... I shall wait and see.

CELESTIA DAMNIT, UNICORNS CAN FLY, EVERYPONY SAW CARROT CAKE FLY WITH MAGIC!

952156 Pssh, how often does that happen? You saw the shock on Pinkie's face when she saw that, can't be a normal thing. Twilight would be flying all over the place, or at least to get Dash whenever she needed her, instead of yelling at her cloud from the ground. :facehoof:

952252 Pinkie is shocked everytime a new pony comes to Ponyville.

952388

But she's pinkie......

And It's Pumpkin Cake, her father, Mr. Cake, is Carrot Cake
But Twilight could only make one of her friends fly....

You... You, my good sir, are doing a fine job with this. I dunno about everyone else, but this seems like a perfectly acceptable fountain of headcanon. I think it also makes Griffon the Brush Off that much more meaningful. A+ work!

1002377 Thank you! :pinkiehappy: I try! And having only half of one episode to work from is a bit difficult. But Chuckfinley has helped out with certain things. Several (very small) things in this story and Dash Eats Meat are nods to his story Banishment Decree, which is probably what got me interesting in Gilda and Dash in the first place.

952388 1001906 Yes, Pinkie is Pinkie. And I tend to think magic is overused in fanfics. In the show, Twilight rarely does anything spectacular, and even then it usually takes a lot out of her and/or requires a lot of reading. Hell, she only teleports short distances, and only when she's stressed.

1002429 What is everyone talking aboooout? If a priest can levitate then a mage should be able to fly!

This reminds me of why I generally don't like Dashie... how "OMG-- the bestest!" and whatever she acts all the time... and it's that similarity in personality that draws her together with Gilda... I'm glad that I'm not in a situation where Dashie was real and I had to pretend to like her or anything. :twilightoops:

Well, anyways, that was well-written. Have an upvote. :twilightsmile:

1461466 No wonder you didn't like Dash Eats Meat lol you don't like Dashie!

lol but thanks anyway! :pinkiehappy:

1461507
OBJECTION!

I didn't say that I disliked that story. I merely stated that it was over-hyped.

The two are not the same thing at all!

I like listening to The Rolling Stones. But they are over-hyped (especially that god-awful song "I Can't Get No Satisfaction"). Same deal.

You can see from the tallies that I upvoted both Dash Eats Meat and this story here about flight camp.

1461519 I'm just bustin' yer bawls lol. I appreciate the upvotes and even that you read them at all. Thanks dude. :pinkiehappy:

1461520
Oh, okay... :pinkiesmile: I've been feeling ill today / this past night / this current night (and to be honest for a while now) so I guess I'm more oversensitive than usual. :pinkiegasp:

I'm very tempted to ask you to read one of my stories that involve Dashie now, if you wouldn't mind... :rainbowwild:

Can't believe it took me so long to get to this. Like the last one, pretty good. You've got a very in-character Gilda, and I like the narrative style. Though on the negative side, the update rate really concerns me, especially considering the short length, and you've frequently used "yea" instead of "yeah," which just looks all kinds of wrong. And you put authors notes at the beginning of a chapter instead of the end, which you shouldn't do.

Other than that, I liked it, and I hope to see more.

2167108 Well I'm glad you like it. And yea, I spell it this way. Deal with it.

About that update rate.... yeaaaaa... um... It's gonna be a while, sorry... :unsuresweetie:

3841358 Hehe, you caught me. I do love this story, but... I just have no new ideas for it. That's all.
