Twilight!” the cyan pegasus slammed open the library’s door.         “What’s wrong, Rainbow Dash? Did something happen?” Twilight had dropped the book she was reading at all the commotion.         “I just had this AWESOME idea and I need some help!” A grin was spread across her face.         “I told you before, I don’t know near as much about aerodynamics as the pegasi do. I know some basics, but I can’t tell you if your stunts are realistic!”         “What? No! This isn’t about stunts! This is more your line of work!”         “Magic? Studying?”         “I’m going to write a story!”         “Well, good luck with that! I’m sure I can find you some materials on writing a good one. First thing you’ll need are a general idea of plots, characters...”         “Daring Do!”         “What?”         “I’m going to write a Daring Do story!”         “Okay, what that’s called is ‘fanfiction.’ It means that you’re writing a story based on pre-existing characters from some form of media. In this case, you’re writing based on characters from the ‘Daring Do’ series.”         “Would you take a look at it when I’m done? I want to submit it to the publishers. My story will be so awesome that they’ll have to make me into a full-time writer!”         Twilight sighed. “I’m probably going to regret this, but okay, I’ll read your story when you’re done.”         “Thanks, Twi! I’ll owe you one!” Just as fast as she had arrived, the rainbow blur took off.
