This looks promising. You have a few problems with using the right words in the right context, but nothing too bad. ![]()
“So, it’s not so dangerous actually?”It sounds a bit forced. "So, it's not that dangerous?" or something similar would fit better, I think.
Who would risk his live don’t knowing what for?
Should be life
Looking forward to more!
Oh no, this isn't going to be as heartbreaking as that other fic where Rainbow met Daring but she wasn't an adventurer but a real archaeologist and they didn't get along at all?
If so I don't think I can take the sads.
Ah, from Germany... *jealousy rising...
JK man but seriously, I would like to go there sometime.
But yeah if you need an editor just ask. ![]()
but yeah anyway, I like where this story is going so far. Hope you continue it.
This story has met my requirements of excitement and humor. Yet this is not yet sufficient to my needs. so...
future Wonderbold and the element of loyalty.
I'm sure this was just an inocent slip-up
Possible good story. i just thought it was a little too rushed. pace it
mmmm i like this story, it seems that it has a lot of thing to work on it ![]()
only one mistake: Wonderbold .....![]()
![]()
![]()
is Wonderbolt ![]()
good job my friend, Greetings from Peru.
>Las Pegasus for his casinos and so on.
Should actually be
>Las Pegasus for its casinos and so on.
And I liked seeing the villains mentioned in it... ![]()
... I love this. I hope you continue this! I spotted a few errors with word choice, but that's only things picky people will point out!
“My weather duty is done, AJ is up in Manehatten to visit her uncle and aunt and Twilight is re shelving the entire library, again!”
Should include a comma after ' and aunt' and I think you should connect re-shelving with a hyphen. It just looks better to my picky eye. This is still awesome!
Not sure if it's been done before, so this story is of a somewhat original concept to me. +1 follower.
That said, there are countless little errors here and there. If no one else steps up to offer their services as an editor, let me know; I'd be happy to help out, even if I'm not the best of writers.
Your grammar is a bit botched, but I can excuse that because (at least I assume) your first language is German. So don't sweat it.
Looking forward to more.
Wait what is this? ![]()
A Rainbow Dash and Daring Doo story that is actually... good? ![]()
...
OH! MY! GOSH! ![]()
You just got yourself another watcher for this story. And he enjoys it ![]()
You need to proof read this, there are a number of mistakes here.
"Who would risk his life don’t knowing what for?" i don't know why but the don't in there looks realy awkward.
Cool beans! Another Rainbow Dash / Daring Do fic... Fave and Following! ![]()
Pretty good so far...!
Need Moar ![]()

>>1478969 well, the author DID mention this is his first attempt to write something in english. I'll allow some errors as he navigates his way through this mine field we call a language. If he keeps up this level of quality, a misplaced comma or unnecessary word won't bother me one bit. ![]()
Great story, but lots of grammatical errors that might be perfectly fine in German. However, in English, it feels slightly unnatural. Do you have a proofreader?
Und nun, für den deutschen via Google Translate.
Tolle Geschichte, aber viele grammatische Fehler, die möglicherweise völlig in Ordnung in deutscher Sprache. Allerdings in Englisch, es fühlt sich etwas unnatürlich. Haben Sie einen Lektor?
I can understand English quite well, thank you very much. Writing on the other hoof...
To answer your question, no, I don't have a proofreader. It's not like they're growing on trees.
BTW: Google Translator is horrible. I think your translation made less sense than Pinkie Pie.
If anypony would volunteer I would send him a gdocs links with chapter 2. It's finished on the writing part but
still needs some correction.
Didn't mean to offend you if I did.
And I know that GTranslate is horrible at its translations.Howeve, to make less sense than Pinkie Pie...
I'm not available to do so yet, so if anypony else wanted to step up to the plate, I'd say use them. I won't be available until about the end of the month.
This is good, you need some editing though, some people get really rustled with some of your mistakes, but you're doing fine by me.
I can already see how this is going to go. I've had the same trouble meeting a few authors who rather enjoy embellishing their stories.
Rainbow must be Really pissed that she's made to look like a wimp ![]()
Well, this is... interesting... In a good way.
I think it might be a common idea that Daring Do wrote the books herself, but this is the first "Daring Do is a real pony" story I've ever really read, so I don't really know.
Congrats on getting in the feature box, btw.
Liking where this is going, but one typo reaaaallly stood out.
“Ahhhhhhhhh!” Daring shrieked and jumped into cover behind Rainbow. (This definitely needs an exclamation mark. Reads a bit differently without it.)
Rainbow Dash will definetly get into the "URGE... TO KILL... RISING!" mode
, besides, they are now in the perfect place for a murder... The Everfree Forest, Alone by themselves, with no wintees, and nopony knows they're actually there, with actually very seriously dangerous animals roaming around, cliffs, Posion Joke, perfect to even make it look like some kind of unfortunate accident or she was attacked, mauled and eaten by a random beast![]()
it looks like Rainbow will invite Pinkie some Daring Do theme home-made CUPCAKES!![]()
It looks like This will be the last issue of Daring Do... if it somehow gets managed to be published![]()
Rainbow dash learning the sad truth. Book heros almost never are like the book makes them out to be.
damn this is getting good, fav'd for sure ![]()
a few small things i found so far...
But what Rainbow really struck was the fact that Daring Do was referring her.
Quiet noises could be heard after she finished talking
I had to do something against these wooden predators or this would be not only my last adventure, since I was responsible for the life of my new friend.(that second part needs some fixin')
other than that...keep it coming :D
grüßle aus schwaben ![]()
greetings from England my German friend! No mistakes that I could see in this chapter so well done.
Heh... alright this is a good story so far. Please proceed! ![]()
Oh and have pictures.
It's really interesting to me that this is the first time I've come across Daring with this characterization. Usually, she's a full-fledged adventurer, or even when her story's been embellished somehow, she still has some legitimate explorer prowess to back it up. In this, she's just... an author. Like I said, it's definitely out of the norm.
>>1480496 It's worse when the "adventurer" is the author, and what you saw isn't what the readers get.
It's been done a few times, in various places, and the "hero-shock" never really goes away.![]()
I can see worse: Twilight meeting Starswirl and learning a few things not in his journals. ![]()
... Forgive me for saying this, but...
...
In a bucking refrigerator! ![]()
Meet Tom Clancy. He's nothing like Jack Ryan or John Clark. ![]()
I will continue watching. This has distinct possibilities.
The concept is great, but you REALLY need a pre-reader, and maybe a couple editors as a safety-net. Not to insult, but I actually can't finish this. I lose all immersion each time I hit a section with really rocky and awkward wording.
I'd be able to correct some of the grammatical errors and whatnot it you need anyone ![]()
Aside from the grammar/wording, I like the concept
...and after enduring several hours of this nonsense, Rainbow Dash flew away, and Daring Do was never heard from again.
The End.
Oh wait. Element of Loyalty. Ponyfeathers.
This reminds me of Gilderoy Lockhart from Harry Potter, maybe Dash ends up roflpwning her and Daring ends up in the hospital with brain damage
Dawwww look at you, yesterday you were a part of the bad story section and now? You made it to the box thing!
GAH!! I was going to dress as Daring Do for nightmare night, now you've ruined it for me!
But really, I like the fic, I'm interested to see where it's going, keep up the good work.
If I were Rainbow, I'd at least ask to play an equally courageous role, and be mentioned by name. Seriously, the way she is portrayed in the book is just degrading; even if it is just for embellishment, I'd be fucking PISSED![]()
MOAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR![]()

BHUT OH MY GOD, dARING TELL ME THAT YOU ARE NOT A FULL-of-lies- pegasus ![]()
I think that Rainbow Dash is going to learn a bitter truth: No idol is entirely as she imagined. I think that Daring Do is going to turn out to be a lot like Lockhart in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - a better writer than adventurer who takes credit for other ponies' efforts. Disappointing, I know. Maybe she was a better pony once but fame, fortune and the grief of injury (no Pegasi could ever really get over being grounded) has forever changed her approach.
Oh great, THIS kind of thing. What is it with autobiographers that makes them dramatize EVERYTHING?
Interesting concept, fairly decent execution. I'd like to see more please.
i love the idea, and having taken german for three years at school i know how bad translators are for german and english, but , even though largely correct grammar and such, it all feels a bit... off-putting. i'll pay attention and such, but an editor would do you wonders. ![]()
One small piece of critique: The characters use almost no contractions. Like can't, won't, he'll, I'll, etc. it makes their dialogue sound a bit unnatural and formal, especially for someone like Rainbow Dash.
This looks like a very interesting story
Keep up the good work
I shall be watching from the shadows![]()
Well, Rainbow Dash is now gonna hate Daring Do because of how much of a fake she is, great job
Well, what we need is for Rainbow to save Daring's stupid flank from some shit or something
Keep up the good work,
I will be watching from the shadows![]()
I feel bad for the timberwolf puppy, it only wanted to play ![]()
And Rainbow, you really realize that the books you read are fictions, right? Ah you silly pony ![]()
Oh my GOD the grammar is horrible. But the story is interesting enough, that I won't downvote it.
EDIT: Like, seriously... The grammar is shit.
