Not much to say really, I write stories for the Brony Nation and the Pegasister Alliance that's all I do really.

hmmm interesting but i think you could of made this into a bunch of chapters. like her meating the rest of the main six, meating princess celestia and ect. still its interesting.

that was awsome and hillarious

Well I can certainly tell this is your first time writing clop. The clop scene was short and unexciting, and there was really no need for the author's notes telling the reader that it was a clop scene. I've seen it done before, but in that case, the clop was a good chunk of the story (about 1/4 if I'd have to guess). This isn't that long, and I'm sure there won't be too many clop-hating people who read it - it's clearly labelled as having sex in it.

Onto the technical side of things: first person perspective being written in present tense isn't something I'm too knowledgeable, but I did find some errors. There were a few occasions where you switched to past tense for a sentence or two, and there are numerous run-on sentences. The most annoying thing though, I find, is your author's notes. I'm not a fan of them in general, but if you must use them, at least be consistent with them. You have one in parentheses in the middle of a paragraph (which is probably the most annoying and unnecessary one), you have some in parentheses separating the clop from the rest of the story, and then you have italicized author's notes elsewhere. Just pick one and stick with it, if you need to include author's notes at all. Also:

“Really? How do ii find out?” Daring Do asks me.

This needs to be changed to a single, capital I.

As for the story itself, I actually liked it. It was an interesting plot, and I enjoyed the two epilogues. One thing I might suggest is making the epilogues their own chapters (and maybe expand on the first epilogue). This way you could have a single author's note explaining that you wrote two ways for the story to end, and have links to them individually. It's only a suggestion though, the story is alright without that being changed.

Well when I originally wanted to end the story I had a difficult time decideing as to the outcome of the story so I decided to go for both. As for the typo I'll fix it right now.

The story was good but the clop was way to rushed if you made it longer and more enjoyably it would be a really good story and the first ending is the one i would pick the whole story is way to short.

Hello there! My name is y2kbrony and I'm going to review your story. My criticism is completely constructive so if you don't want to take my advice that's fine by me.
This review will be using the following system:
If text is marked through with a line like this that means it should be deleted.
Red text indicates a typo.
Green text indicates a grammatical error.
Blue text is something I would add to the story or change.
Purple text is something I would like to draw your attention to.

First of all let's start with the description.

Due to a magical mishap, Twilight
accidentally summons Daring Do into the real world.
much to the shock and awe of While
her number one fan Rainbow Dash is freaking out about this,
Twilight tries to find a way to
send Daring Do back
into her book. During this, the literary
heroine stays with Rainbow Dash. As
feelings start to develop between the two pegasi and
they begin to and secrets are revealed that draw the two
closer to each other, together. And
Daring Do must make the most important decisionenter key pressed
enter key pressed
spacebar pressedof her life: either stay
with Rainbow Dash or return home.

Change it to this and your description will be much better. My next suggestion is the
chapter name. Since this is a one-shot it would be a better idea to name
the chapter after the story instead of "Chapter 1".

Now onto the story itself. I've noticed that the story is in present tense which doesn't really make too much sense considering the story's description so I would first of all change that. My next problem is with the author's notes. Normally author's notes begin with "A/N" instead of "ME:" so I would change that.

Getting into the actual story I noticed this right out of the starting gate:

over various notes and on occasion levitating

I would change that "and" to a comma. Next you should delete the forward slash between basement and laboratory.

This is all I can review for today so I will continue this review tomorrow using the same format for the review.

that was awesome

1641154 meating?

,,, *meeting. But yes, you are correct in statement, if not in spelling.

1641710 meh spelling is my bane. almost got me fired from work once....:raritydespair:

1641730 lol, I hear ya. I can spell pretty well, actually, but my handwriting is less legible than Chinese, and I'm the one writing it.

I was hoping for a badass plot in all this. But I suppose beggars can't be choosers. Very well, carry on.

this could have been something great, a story Would look every day for an update fore

I saw the Indiana Jones refrence and immediatly had to type this....yay adventure series:yay:

1644940
What about the other two references?

1645334 :facehoof: oh dang now I gotta reread....:rainbowderp::derpyderp2:

"If somepony were to tell us that our lives were scripted as a means of entertainment and actually proved it how would you react?"

4th wall break much Twilight?

Pikie Pie: "HEY!! I'm the ONLY ONE allowed to do THAT!!!"

And I choose ending 1. After all if she is a fictional character made by an author, who's to say the author can't keep writing more adventures? Daring Do would just be missing from that exact book, not all books.

1647731
You're the fiirst to notice that. I was trying to have her unintentionally break the fourth wall.

Daring Do has a British accent in my head, like Lara Croft.
Or H.G. Wells in Warehouse 13...

hay dude make sequal to epilog part 1 i want see some mo dashdo
:heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:

Okay so I was a little lazy and didn't continue the next day. Sue me. Getting back to the review remember the format...

If text is marked through with a line like this then that means it should be deleted.
Red text indicates a typo.
Green text indicates a grammatical error.
Blue text is something I would add to the story or change.
Purple text is something I would like to draw your attention to.
I noticed when I selected the story in my read it later list that it didn't have a secondary description.I would add one as it helps when someone forgets why they added the story to the list in the first place.

Getting back into the story I would suggest adding a comma between "Daring Do" and "an adventuring archeologist" in the first paragraph.
I would delete the comma after basement/laboratory and the rest of the sentence after that while keeping in mind what I said in the first part of the review so that it looks like this:

so here we are in her basement laboratory, due to my newly acquired love of Daring Do has me occasionally look at a dictionary for some of the longer words used in the stories.

The second paragraph should be like this if you took in my suggestions from before:

Twilight used her magic to place the notes in a nice neat stack before placing it on a nearby table and removed the reading glasses that she was wearingbefore remarking, “Well I’ve been working on a spell that allows you to actually see a book’s contents as though you were watching a movie.” This made my wings extend in shock.

Next paragraph:

“You mean I would actually get to see Daring Do in all of her awesomeness?” I questioned gasping at what the implications could be.

Next:

“If the spell works then yes, it should,” Twilight confirmed. I let out a squeal of joy at the prospect of seeing my favorite character in action rather than using my imagination.

Next:

“Well what are we waiting for? Fire that baby up!” I ordered Twilight,Use a period here instead of a comma. The unicorn rolled her eyes slightly at my antics and concentrated her magic by sending a bolt into a probe which in turn redirected it into a nearby one roughly three feet away. The second one redirected the bolt to a third probe on the ceiling. How I missed that when I walked in there I have no idea,(Period instead of a comma.) Once all three probes were connected by magic a transparent purplish blue window appeared.

I would continue to point out more errors like this but, it will be tiring for me and would create a bigger wall of text. I would suggest getting a pre-reader willing to edit mistakes in your stories.

>> SilverStar36 how in the world was this "hilarious" i ask you?:rainbowhuh:

I enjoyed this story. :)

in my mind this is what the Epilogue are
Epilogue 1: a path way to light and happiness
Epilogue 2:a path way to darkness and great sadness
(sadness=darkness)

1894418 Making the endings fit was difficult and not only that but I also had to rewrite the endings to make them fit to the overall theme of the fic.

1894510 that's ok.this what i was thinking.daring do stayed dash has a special somepony.she doesn't have to be sad stay on the path of light and make it into the wonderbolts.if daring do left dash could be depressed.push her friends away.and fall victom of darkness and go down a dark path.so i go for Epilogue 1.but overall awesome story.

1895014 By the way did you guess as to the three references I was referring to?

1895134 im not sure but one was indana jones,second was sonic,and the third is twilight breaking the 4th wall instead pinkie pie.

1895984 Well you were right about the Indiana Jones and the Sonic refernce, but Twilight breaking the fourth wall wasn't. I mentioned a boy with messy black hair and wearing robes...get it now?

1897490 Nope, Harry Potter.

1898041oooooooohhhhhhhhh.well i'm not a harry potter fan.but still awesome story.

a spell that allows you to actually see a book’s contents as though you were watching a movie

I can do that without magic.


edit:
I'd really like to see Daring Dos life in pony explored. It'd make for a great slice-of-life story.

Wait. what?:rainbowhuh:
The plot is like Rainbow Dash, really really REALLY fast. Please consider rewriting this as this is an awesome plotidea.

(Warning: This is a clop scene so if you’re easily offended by two pegasai having sex then either skip this part or turn back.)

pfft...bitch please, the clop scenes in a fic are what I like to call the point of no return.

you got yourself into this situation, and you're going to get through it:rainbowdetermined2:

I feel that the second epilogue is the better one. It seemed more heartfelt. I also feel that this was a pretty good and most interesting story. :rainbowkiss:

Well, that was an alright read. There was an abundance of grammatical errors though, so that made it difficult to read. It had a really good concept though.

~SolidFire

it would be nice if in the second epiloge it showed that daring mentioned rainbow and had rainbow's gift

I always enjoyed this couple and this story
