Hi, I'm British, and you're reading a bunch of stuff you don't really care about! Yay! Go easy on me, I'm still finding my way around.

Rainbow Dash isn't afraid of anything, and she has better things to do than sit around worrying about some wussy emotions. But after reading the next Daring Do novel, she suddenly finds her feelings towards her friends changing- and not in ways she's comfortable with...

(May be subject to massive edits, depending on whether I can get over the obligatory irrational[?] hatred. Also, yes, I select the cover images pretty much at random.)

Um...what did she just read? :rainbowhuh:

DID SHE JUST READ DARING DO EROTICA? Tsk, tsk, talk about scandalous.

Daring Doo's secret relationship with a bouncing pink earth pony. :raritywink:

You have my attention good sir or madam. Please, proceed.

RainbowPiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!

It is the best pie. *serious nod*

Well, for whatever it's worth, I like the prologue. There's some nice Rainbow Dash character exploration, some cute moments with Pinkie, a nice and funny cameo from Twilight ... I find this a very promising beginning.

RainbowPie isn't really my thing, but this is good nonetheless.

I don't really understand why you don't like it. The only real criticism I had was that the parentheticals were pretty much entirely unnecessary, and the information could have been relayed in a more.... stylistically pleasing way.

Other than that, the fic has caught my attention. And yes, Rainbowpie is best pie.

Promising. I see a few minor grammatical errors, but nothing terrible. Still want to see how it goes, favorited.

Stay tuned for the magnificant tales of Daring Do! Danger! Adventure! Also, hot mare on mare action. :trollestia: Let's face it, everypony's GAR for Daring Do. Especially the stallions, but especially the mares.

And so the wild mass guessing begins, only to be tragically cut short when the answer pops up next chapter. (But when I'll make the next chapter's anyone's guess.)

I shall do my best to hold it, also sir and/or madam!

It's the only Pie I know how to do, and is therefore best and most illustrious of Pies. I'm glad my hatred of it seems (thus far) irrational. I didn't really feel like I was channeling Pinkie enough, though. Although, that said, channeling Pinkie is somewhat like channeling Raocow...
568037
Eh, not every pairing's for everyone. I'm still pretty much exploring the options myself. I hope I can give you a little entertainment in spite of the pairing!
568043
A third guess, and counting! It's certainly plausible. I've certainly hallucinated some odd passages under sleep deprivation before. :pinkiecrazy:
568092
Irrational hatred is irrational. Most of the time, anyway. I know what you mean about the parenthesis- it's a bad habit of mine, I'm afraid. I spam semi-colons, too. Glad you liked it, apart from that.
568194
Yeah...my grammar isn't really the best. I wasn't actually taught the finer points of it in school, so I blunder by based solely on what I've picked up by osmosis. Hope I can hold your interest, despite the weird structures.

To all: thanks, as always, for taking the time out to give comments and feedback. :heart:

Fantastic as always, my friend. :pinkiehappy:

568369
Wait...that was what I forgot to do yesterday! I was going to look at the rest of those droubles. I ended up forgetting...:twilightsheepish: I'll get right on those. Can't believe I let myself get distracted. Glad you're liking this, even though I wasn't. :rainbowlaugh:

Was Twilight trying to recreate the Powerpuff Girls experiment since she mentioned 'Ingriedent X'? :applejackconfused:

I might have to the check the tags again, I don't think this struck me as a shipping fic for Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. :unsuresweetie:

But maybe it is and in my haste to read I somehow failed to notice it. :twilightoops:

568566
Yup, Powerpuff girls reference in there for kicks and giggles. :twilightsmile:
Give me a little time, here. We're only at the prologue! The shipping overtones will develop more and more as the story goes on. :pinkiesmile:

"Ugh. I really don't like this."

Well, I most certainly do :pinkiehappy: I liked your one-shots as well, though I neglected to leave a comment. I do try to leave a comment on every fic I read, even though I only very rarely have anything interesting to say, but I'm a massive procrastinator. I will probably get around to doing so at some point, though.

Anyway, it's obviously way to early to say anything really detailed about it, but I'm very intrigued by what I've seen thus far. Everypony's nice and in-character (Though I expected no less) and there were some really cute and funny moments throughout the fic. And I must say I'm also very happy that you chose PinkieDash as the ship to write more than 100 words about, as you put it. Ending it with a cliff hanger is just cruel, though.

569062
It just doesn't feel special enough, y'know? It's all, like...blarg. At least, that's how it seems to me. (Don't worry. I am always possessed by irrational hatred for the things I write shortly after I have written them.

I am a cruel and unusual tyrant, sir, and that cliff will continue to be hung upon until...uh...tomorrow, at the very earliest, forever at the very latest. :trollestia:

Very good i hope to see more soon

This....was not what I was expecting....Love it *TRACKS*

Nice avatar, dood! I don't tend to see too many Disgaea fans around these here parts. But it sort've makes me wonder what you were actually expecting...:rainbowlaugh:

580279

That's a real good question dood. I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting either...

I'm using my keepsies chip on Daring Do and the Rainbow Factory.

Between the prologue and this chapter, this is off to a great start! I like all the little touches you add in that make this story unique and original. Such as Dash having the "If Daring Doo isn't immune, how will I manage?" stance after being exposed to romance, Applejacks "Are you serious stare" that talks about friends having inside tracks on certain expressions, turtles not having a concept of petty theft, and the foreshadowing with the Pinky sense doozy (to name a few).

These things all tie together to make a fun and engaging story. I'll be eagerly awaiting the next chapter! :pinkiesmile:

Im am in love with this. You're a fantastic writer! Im so jelly right now!
Keep it up, i wanna see more! :pinkiehappy:

Did I say Rainbow Factory? I meant
"Daring Do and the SEXY Rainbow Factory..... temple... place..."

Looking good my friend. Apparently you can write equally well for longer stories as you do with drabbles. Which is pretty impressive.

Oh boy this is gonna be one visit to Sugercube Corner Rainbow Dash isn't going to forget easily. :duck:

605738
I'm still trying to figure out what a keepsie chip is. Somehow, I feel like a complete idiot for not knowing. :twilightsheepish:
605606
Thanks! I didn't think it was especially unique, myself; most of the stuff you mentioned is just part of my habit of narrating sideways. :rainbowlaugh: I'm glad you've enjoyed it thus far, though. I'm finding it to be quite a fun story to write, so it'll probably not take too long for new chapters.
605688
You're jelly? As in, the food? You should really get that checked out. Do gelatin creatures go to the doctor's or the vets? [/idiocy] Thanks a lot. I'm glad you liked it. I'll try and keep the chapters coming. :pinkiehappy:
605908
You lie, sir. I personally think that the drabbles would quite easily win in a bout of literary fisticuffs. Every time I write something long, I end up squicked out by it. :fluttershysad: Oh well. Practice makes perfect, I suppose. Thanks for your support. :twilightsmile:
607707
That depends entirely on whether that altercation with the window gave her a massive concussion or not. On one hand, I didn't plan it to; on the other hand, it would be far funnier if it did. :raritywink:

At first i was like (':yay:'); but then when rainbow dash corrected applejack for the third time about tank being a turtle/tortoise i was like (':rainbowlaugh:');

This is awesome. I laughed at the line RD said about a seizure. :rainbowlaugh: Heck, I kept laughing during the entirety.

Wait, I didn't actually comment on this? Curse my forgetful mind.

Great new chapter. I really didn't expect this fic to be so funny, but pretty much every line that came out of Applejack's mouth was comedy gold. Rainbow's completely ridiculous "inner conflict" was also highly amusing.

617532, 627963, & 631637
This is what always happens when I try and write long stuff. The first chapter I'm all like, 'Let's try and be serious, here. Let's tell a story," and then by chapter two I'm always like "Screw that, let's have a whole bunch of fun and put jokes everywhere, because that's what I like writing." Even in angst, I put jokes in. It's like a verbal tic. :rainbowlaugh: Glad y'all got some mileage out of it, though.

Well now I have to wait for the next chapter in order to be happy again. I live a hard life.

"Angel? Rainbow Dash says she's going to-- oh, you heard? I'm sorry," XD good god man, that line!

And then you updated it.... unfortunately, this particular story waits around so long between updates that every time I have to go back and read the preceding chapter/chapters jst to not get completely lost.

The scene with Applejack, Tank, and Rainbow Dash was great, the rapid transition from turtle to tortoise to turtle again was what got me. :rainbowlaugh:

Keep it up!

Pretty good, and please tell me that there's gonna be a rarijack side ship :pinkiehappy:




:eeyup:

there are so many grammar mistakes :facehoof:

Is it twisted that I am more interested in a potential side story the rule about never, ever giving twilight alcohol than the remainder of this one? All my want.

hahaha, fluttershy. :rainbowlaugh:

732027
Then I updated! Now I have to do more work to keep up with the whole thing. What a hard life I have! :rainbowlaugh:
746440
Oh, Fluttershy. I can't characterise her for love or money, but I still love her because she's so easy to make jokes with.
746449
Sorry about that. :twilightsheepish: Usually I keep a pretty leisurely update schedule, since I tend to juggle three or four stories at once...Also because I'm lazy. That too. The next chapter will probably be quicker to come out, though.
746476
Will do! :rainbowdetermined2:
746487
Considering how things are going at this point, there's a fifty-fifty chance that RariJack will end up driving the entire plot in some way or another. I had more fun playing them off against each other than I really want to admit. :trixieshiftleft:
746488
Really? It seemed coherent enough when I checked it. Care to point out some more specific examples so I can target what I'm looking for? Any help is appreciated, of course. :twilightsmile:
746495
Hmm...Sort've like a FotF what if story? In another timeline, Rainbow Dash actually manages to drown herself in Fluttershy's birdbath. The Mane Five go into mourning, and Twilight gets wasted at the funeral. Hilarity ensues, Spike becomes a cactus. Something like that. :3
746525
One day, I will write a story where Fluttershy appears and is not the butt or supplier of some form of humour. Today was not that day.

Thanks to everyone for your feedback! :twilightsmile:

746557
The wait was fine, everytime I have to re-read the story I enjoy it again, so, you know... whatevs...:twilightsmile:

Oh man that was so funny when Angel over heard Rainbow Dash was going to murder him in his sleep, and the fact that Rainbow dash said he 'Wears the pants' in the relationship with him and Fluttershy. :rainbowlaugh:

This is my favorite chapter so far. All of my love for this chapter. :pinkiehappy:

I love what you did with the RariJack, how they still spar with one another, they still squabble, but still allowed the reader to see what might make them work as friend (and, ahem, more than friends). This was my fave line from their section of the chapter: "The thing to remember, she told herself as she reached for her diary and began to scheme, was that two-bit romance novels almost always had a happy ending.

Rarity is a mare after my own heart.

I also loved all of the little details you included in the Fluttershy and Dash section, too--Rainbow's casual hatred and threats towards Angel, Fluttershy's gentle lecturing style, Rainbow wanting to drown herself in the birdbath, FlutterLectures ending in tasty baked goods. It just brought these characters and their relationship with one another to life in a really wonderful way.

this is one of those stories where we already passed 3 chapters without anything really happening :D

746488 oh hush you.

Oh hey I completely forgot about this one, but it's a welcome surprise to see it has updated. Loving the story so far. :twilightsmile:

Cockatrices liking water features is now headcanon.

746488
I didn't get a chance to proof this chapter before TheVulpineHero put it up (which I have now done), but honestly there were very few grammar mistakes that I found in the unedited version at all. If you'd like to point the most egregious examples out to me, then I'm all ears.

746731
Ah, Angel. Everyone's favourite vorpal bunny. I personally choose to believe he is secretly a lapin knight who uses his mind bending powers to protect Ponyville and murder bad guys for fun and profit. Also, wearing pants: not always necessary in a pony-on-bunny friendship, but he goes the extra mile.
747118
The thing I wanted to get across with Rarity was that, although she might be introducing conflict into the situation, she's doing so because she honestly thinks it will turn out for the better. Also that secretly she likes screwing with AJ's head, and vice versa. Maybe. I always got the impression that an AJ/Rarity friendship would feature a whole ton and a half of conflict, but that Rarity would be too...Rarity to go for it head on like AJ, so it'd eventually morph into something a bit more cerebral.
I'm still surprised everyone actually likes the Rainbow and Fluttershy section, though. That's the point in the story where I threw my hands up in the air, said 'To hell with it, I just did a pretty nice scene that sets up tension and all that stuff', and entirely stopped taking things seriously. I sometimes think you people give me too much credit. :rainbowlaugh:
747487
Yup, it's one of those stories. My little joke is that Slice Of Life is a tag on everything I do. Romance for the plot, comedy for the style, and slice of life for the pacing. xD
747868
I'm almost as surprised as you, in all honesty. Usually I'm lazier than this. Glad you're enjoying the story thus far!
749164
They're like cats. Show them a running water fountain, and they'll stare at it for hours on end. Just make sure you're not stood directly opposite them.

"I'd probably have hit a mountain, or a tree, or Pinkie Pie. So it was either ride the turtle, or die horribly. You askin' me to die horribly, AJ?"

Sounds about right. :pinkiecrazy:
