Hi! I'm Lurks-no-More: a pony writer, RPG player, SF and fantasy fan, and a general nerd. I hope you enjoy my stories!
Rainbow Dash can handle busting the clouds or bringing in a weather front in her sleep, but there's more to being the captain of the Ponyville Weather Patrol than just the weather work.
With the roof of the Town Hall wrecked by lightning, Dash has to deal with not just the increasingly irate Mayor, but also her second-in-command Cloudkicker's impending nervous breakdown, and one highly apologetic, wall-eyed pegasus...

I like the sound of this.
Hmm... some errors but nothing too major. Good start and to be honest it does lend it self to a continuation showing Ditzy's time in the meteorological service. And the Mayor's reaction to the news... well if the EMS is a national level thing then the mayor of a backwater town shouldn't have much power in appointments.
Excellent job by Dash, there, giving in to Mayor Mare in the letter... but not the spirit of her order.
And I sided with Dash, too.
Another excellently crafted and fun ride by Lurk!
This was fantastic. I loved it. Nice use of big words, by the way.

Now this is a Rainbow Dash I can get behind. She could give cunning lessons to House!!
655728 Personally I don't think it's too far from canon for Dashie, really. While she's got a rather narrow sphere of interest, anything that falls inside of it is going to get 110% of her interest and effort. She WILL get her job done, and she WILL do whatever she can to help her friends- mix the two, and the brain underneath that rainbow mane gets sharp as a knife.

Which is why Tvtropes calls her "Brilliant but lazy." When she's interested in something, she's as smart as a whip.
655528 Can you point out those errors? I'd love to fix them.
655785 Yeah, Rainbow Dash isn't stupid. Most of the time, she just doesn't bother to stop and think, when she could be acting fast!

This leads to problems. In her own way, she's sort of a high-velocity version of Applejack. AJ isn't stupid either. She simply fears too many things to use her brain. If it's not her blind terror of the really unfamiliar (case in point: her need to find a hole to crawl into when she first met Zecora) that incapacitates her, it's her need to defend her family's honor at her own expense that hobbles her.
It's an interesting interpretation of a few seconds events we saw in Last Roundup (I am baffled by the title of that episode). Good job!
Really liked this story, it was really cute. Rainbow Dash showed major awesomeness by getting
a job.
Really nice story. I loved the following line: << And what in Equestria were you thinking, putting Ditzy Doo, the pony who could get hailstones out of the fluffiest wisp of cirrocumulus ever made, on any job involving moving rain-loaded clouds over the town?” >>
The qoute shows that some thought was put into the story; that is exactly the type of analogy I would expect any Pegasus to use; especially a weather pony. It adds to the authenticity of the character and of the story.
I read this a while ago and loved it. I like that you used my idea for her special talent, too.
In fact, this story is now my head-canon for how this all went down. If you don't mind, I'd like to make it part of my own Ditzy continuity and possibly refer to it in later fics if the town hall incident comes up.
824065 I don't mind at all! Feel free to refer to this in your stories.
I really like this one. I've believed since Hurricane Fluttershy that part of being a Wonderbolt is both quick response and the ability to lead. In my headcanon (always a dangerous phrase around these parts), the Wonderbolts would act as the head of a hastily gathered pegasus militia in case of national emergencies. Heck, we've seen Rainbow's team cover all of Equestria in a day's time looking for ways to disaster-proof the land.
I really liked this. Always nice to see RD taking the lead and making good decisions (Take that Mayor!) And always great to see Ditzy have things work out for her
Huh. I think I read this before I even had an account here. Well, was fun a second time, too.
Great way showing Rainbow as the head of the weather team
You can has review!
