Daring Do has risen from the pages of Twilight's book series due to another of Spike's failures/wins to impress Twilight. The rules were, she could stay there as long as she wanted and be put back whenever she wanted to be put back, as long as she never fell in love, otherwise her placement in Ponyville would be permanent. Later, she falls in love with Rainbow Dash upon first sight. Dash is suddenly struck with the love bugs as well, but she already had a very special somepony; Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash is suddenly conflicted with the decision of staying with Pinkie Pie, or taking the risk and leaping for Daring Do. Meanwhile, Twilight discovers new feelings for Spike and their relationship starts to build. But will this building relationship stay together?
So, I love Pinkiedash, and I love the idea of Rainbow Dash/Daring Do. Should I read this...?
Yes. I should. And I'll update my comment with my thoughts once I'm done.
UPDATE: I'm intrigued. You may continue.
Before reading I am instantly reminded of Catherine... Basically having to choose between the stable familiar relationship or the new exciting one.

Dear God, I wasn't even thinking that. If this turns out to be like Catherine, I, for one, will either be extremely excited or very confused.
249045 I didn't even think of that! That game is so great. Too many sheep though. But well, Pinkie isn't a controlling nag-machine, and Daring Do isn't some sort of... achem... Skank. But yeah, it definitely seems like that now that you mention it. It sure wasn't intentional though!
249049 I'm not sure that it will. I am a mare of "Do it as I go", so i'm not even sure how it'll end. But I promise you this atleast; It will end at some point. And it won't be discontinued out of nowhere. I'm not that kind of author.
249054 I might read this, but I warn you now: I am pretty critical when it comes to my reviews of stories. I try and give authors something to build upon and that means I don't stroke any egos.
249072 all right. I just don't want you to smash my ego with a hammer. My ego is pretty tiny, considering it's only my second time posting a fiction. I love feedback. Just please note that I am a bit fragile about my writing, because my confidence for it hasn't really blossomed yet, so I won't take any criticism lightly. Just don't be TOO critical.
249132 The important thing to remember is that opinions can change. Just because I or someone else doesn't like a story from the get-go doesn't mean they can not be won over. So long as you remember that, you'll always hold the key to self improvement.
249145 have you read it yet? Any constructive comments or feelings on it?
249034 :D I'm going to pull a Princess Bride with my reply : As you wish!
NEW SHIP ALERT! NEW SHIP ALERT!
Rainbow Do.
Interesting...
Tracking.
I'm super pumped to start in on this probably finish this by tonight! :)
Liking it so far!
I like it so far. There is some monotonous sentence structure in a few areas, but nothing too serious. And only one typo! Quite impressed, this pony.
Faved
Oh man
Dash seems to have gotten herself in a difficult situation without doing anything at all! That's like a new record. (This did remind me of Catherine a bit but without the naggy gf and the slutty new girl)
There were several things I didn't understand in this chapter.
The main thing that I'm wondering is where this temple is. At first I thought you were describing what Daring had been doing in the book at the time when she was pulled out of it, but then you talked about Dash coming in and saving her so that showed that the temple had to be in the real world.
The next thing is why Pinkie was already setting up the party when Daring hadn't even met any of them yet; how did they know to be there? Similarly, why was Dash at a temple in the first place and how did she know there was somepony inside who needed help?
251400 I can answer all of these questions for you, good sir. Dare had escaped from the book, but immediately searched for adventure, and ran off. This temple is somewhere not too far from Ponyville, but it's exact location isn't necessarily important. Pinkie Pie was setting up the party before, because they knew she was going to be there. They knew to be there, because as I mentioned verbatim "She was sent by the princess to see what was going on (in the temple, because it was rumbling and tumbling and such. Considering it is a part of Equestria, Celestia would most definitely be concerned about this falling building and what it's collapsing could do to anypony who lived near it.) and the whole crew came with and realized the adventurous, gray-maned pony was inside, and decided to save her before she was doomed." My goodness, that sentence is poorly structured. Oh well. Point is, they were there because the temple was falling, and chases aren't exactly silent. They concluded that somepony was inside, because in most situations, temples don't just fall in on themselves so violently. How did they know where to lift the rocks up? They didn't. But they were there to solve the mystery of the chaos, and put a stop to it. Questions answered? I'm sorry if that wasn't thoroughly explained enough.
I'll try harder next time to make things clearer. I apologize, and I hope I answered all of your questions with an answer you understand.
UPDATE: Dash knew to scream "STEP BACK!" because they had realized she was in there, if you had been wondering. But that was kind of a "Duuuhhh!" Pinkie Pie moment after I had explained all that.
I would love an update
252805 I'm working on it! Hold your horses! (Hehehe... no pony pun intended! But wait... why would you be holding horses? DISREGARD THIS.
)
Aww,

shipping. Don't read much of that, but it just seems so fitting.
This is getting good man keep it up!
253575 For some reason, I ship them with ease. It seems really just... natural.

Well, they do spend most days in the same library, and they both seem to enjoy it. I can't see why they wouldn't eventually gain feelings. Loooooooove!

Dear Princess Celestia: I love this website!
254977
249581i second that
258133>>258250>>254977>>253627 I'm glad you all like this! I am working my hardest to get a lot done for you guys. Most updates should be 2 chapters at a time, but if I want to get them up quickly, it may be one at a time. If I don't update often, I apologize. I'm working on two fics at a time, along with school-work and family business. But I am really glad you all are enjoying this. I'm trying to not put TOO much Spilight considering it's titled "Absolutely Dash-ing", and not "Positively Sparkl-ing" OOHOHOHOH NOW I MIGHT WANT TO DO ANOTHER FIC ABOUT THAT
but anyways, I really hope maybe the popularity of this fic picks up and people really start to read it. Or maybe even my other one. If you want to go look at that, it's a Slice Of Life fic about Pinkie before Ponyville. It's a bit gory, but here: www.fimfiction.net/story/8150/The-Past-Life-Of-Pinkamena-Diane-Pie. I'm 11 chapters in without a few extra I need to write and those alternate endings I was planning.
TL;DR I'm glad you like it. Trying to write fast. Updates usually 2 chapters at a time, but on occasion smaller. I'm busy. Might make a new fic for Spilight called "Positively Sparkl-ing" later. I hope popularity rises. Go look at my other story about Pinkie Pie before Ponyville, here: www.fimfiction.net/story/8150/The-Past-Life-Of-Pinkamena-Diane-Pie
Like it! Oops for Spike, he should have investigated the "crash". Oh well, will read the rest of the chapters but I like where it's going!
One word sums up this chapter, WOW!
Daring Do is a modern pony who knows about the internet and its innovations. And there is the Mane 6 looking at Daring Do with these faces 
. Talk about a 50 year gap between Daring Do and the poor Mane 6. Great Chapter, will read on!
I sense a multi-million dollar lawsuit coming for that Georgia Lukas person. Stealing from Daring Do is never good. But great story though, keep up the good work.
The last line about his diary of "dirty" thoughts reminded me of the other fanfic I read called "Warming Up" (not going to go into detail about the fic since it is a Mature story). But the chapter overall was great! Keep the chapters coming.
275903 (The truth is I kinda got that part from that story. SHSHSHSHSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH PLAGIARISM DOESNT EXIIISSSTTTTT)
Update: I didn't STEAL it, but I guess I was sort of influenced by it. SHSHSSHSHSHHHHHHHHHHHH
Awesome
God so good yet so short! I love the spike and twilight on the side too!
Must read more about this o.o its incredible!!
Woot for new chapter!
But... Daring hath all ready fallen into love.
I wonder how Twilight is gonna fix it all, assuming Dash and Dare will want it to be fixed in the future.
Again, woot!
"Georgia Lukas" My brain keeps generating images of a human rule 63.

It feels so rushed, and i'm not talking about the prologue. The story seems to jump around alot. One minute were in a temple with daring do and- wait how are we in pony ville now? The dialog is short and emotions only seem to move to extreems. I like the story's idea, otherwise i wouldn't have checked it out. But its just not well written enough to be understandable. Sorry! Best luck though!

You and I dear author, yeah...you and I are going to get along PERFECTLY! I am a HUGE fan for Spike/Twilight romance, they are my favorite pair (and I like many others, save for Spike/Rarity, hate that pairing with a passion) I felt like I was going to cry (no homo) when Spike wrote such a passionte love note to his one true love.
On another note, I'm very impressed with Rainbowe Dash/ Pinkie pie, I have not the slightest problem with it whatsoever.
I wonder what's going to happen to Daring do though, I wonder who Dash will chose (I'm down for whoever you want it to be) you now know for a fact that I will be tracking this and be waiting for a new update, although to be honest it felt rushed, so try to slow down a bit.
If you need any ideas, help or advice, don't be scared to email me, I got your back 100%, I can't wait for the next chapter.
Spike + Twilight
= FOREVER!!!
Also....Rainbow Dash + Pinkie pie=
Wall of text man, chop up the paragraphs and the speech and you're golden!
Carry on!
Silver out!
254284 Also, hoping to see that new story with Spike/Twilight as well, when you write a new chapter of this amazing story though?
Hope She Chooses Pinkie
