It's not everyday that Twilight learns that Rainbow Dash is a fraudulently licensed ordained minister who presides over the funerals in Ponyville. Her friend makes every excuse in the book on how she got the job but that doesn't explain why she keeps on doing or why she does it wrong! There's a certain way a pony is supposed to have a funeral and Twilight can't ignore the blatant violations and disrespect everywhere.
Maybe if Twilight could open her ears, she could learn that there's something worth listening to after all. But Rainbow Dash isn't making it easy, she's not a preacher.
She's more of a reaping kind of minister.

That poor tree...s2.quickmeme.com/img/79/799fafd14d2adeea702a66593c83f13686adc2272625078b1d40e38e184ec47f.jpg
It's so refreshing to read something like this, in which I read the bio and actually question how the hell the writer got an idea this ridiculous, and then read the story to find that they managed to execute it flawlessly (flawlessly is a bit too nice of a word, but the point is that I liked it
)
The title should be Rites not Rights.
This is absolutely fascinating. It's a really novel concept and I'm greatly amused. (Though I find it hard to accept that Twilight hasn't found out about this despite living in Ponyville for four years.)
Grammar is a little spotty at times, but the pacing's superb.

That's some high praise there. Makes me feel nervous but I'm glad you like it. Was the idea really out there?

I played around with a lot of titles:
Rainbow Dash's Last Funeral Rites (Didn't really have a ring for the story I had in mind)
The Rites She Doesn't Have (Punny but it didn't looked like a appealing title)
The Illegal Rites and Rights of Rainbow Dash (Too long and weird-sounding when you say it out loud.)
So I decided to go with one pun as write the title as The Illegal Rights of Rainbow Dash which sound the same as Rites.
But I get what you're saying.

Well, y'know.
Books.
I don't quite know how I feel about this, or how to respond.
I mean I certainly enjoyed it, but I'm also looking out my window right now, and all the buildings are now upside down.
Or maybe they were always that way.
...I think I'll stay inside today.

Grammar has always eluded me but I'll give it another comb through. I really thought it was clean this time but thank you for reading. I hope you'll enjoy the story as it updates.
5629988 Rainbow Dash holding a funeral over a library?
I'd say it's one of the more 'out there' ideas I've heard, even outside of this fandom. I dunno, it just caught me off guard. I'd be one to fully expect something like Cupcakes or Rainbow Factory, because those aren't really creative. Those are just people wanting to pervert the sweet innocence that is MLP. This is genuinely weird, in the best possible way.
Well I think you are on the Rite track.
Yea, my Bronieren and Pegasisteren. For e'en those bound for Tartarus will find it is now 20% cooler...
Do this right and I will love you
Underrated story.
This is really hilarious, got a lot of enjoyment from it.
Cancelled, obviously
I'll be honest, after reading this, I kind of hope to see this revived and continued. The idea was unique, and you made it work, so, congratulations. Just consider giving this a second chance, it might work out in the end.
