I find the indestructible unbeatable book guy who takes things so casually to be very annoying every time he/it pops up in the story.
Also, WOW, what does everyone in that room have against RD? I mean, yeah, I would be waiting in line to kill her too in this situation, but they're all jumping at the chance...
Poor Dash, the girl just can't get a break. And I gotta say, I absolutely loved Celestia's reaction Dash's appearance, I wish more people would write Celestia like that. Good stuff.
Very interesting concept, though I fear that it may tread into territory already trekked by Eakin's Hard Reset, a part of the Time Loop Trilogy. The idea is fundamentally the exact same, except the pony under the gun, so to speak, is Rainbow Dash.
But this seems fairly promising, all things considered. I shall give it a read when I am not exhausted from work.
3104816 Maybe whenever Dash pops back into existance, her body is in the state of when it was hit by the spell. So old age is a foolish achivement for Rainbow?
Huh, that would make her immortal... in an unconventional way.
3108979 At least she wasn't cursed with Left 4 Dead style revival. Just look at how hard it is to find someplace safe in this version of Equestria, they would never get her back!
3109480 What she needs to do is come up with some kind of self-imposed respawn timer. Something like that would throw off further threats that aren't natural disasters.
On the plus side, I kinda want to see her get Resident Evil'd with magical laser beams. That would be awesome.
3109119 No, they are both pretty much the same in idea: magic spell goes wrong, and now the effected cannot die. How it plays out afterwards is what I care about.
3110394 I can only imagine. But we have come to the consensus that they are similar, and therefore it is irrelevant to talk about dynamics of the story, of which I have yet to read.
I was just simply stating my concerns, and will hope that it doesn't end up being very predictable, no matter if it has a "random" tag.
“Now please, everypony, just relax. There’s plenty of time and no real limit. I assure you all: each and every one of you will get a chance to kill Rainbow Dash.”
If it helps at all, I had in fact not even heard of that other story until after I already posted the first chapter (I'm pretty bad at keeping up with what's what in the fic world), and I've yet to even read it. That the base ideas are similar is a happy coincidence, brought on by the shear volume of fanfiction (each written with every conceivable idea) that this fandom has produced.
This story is great! I was waiting for the next chapter!
Well, Twilight has basically guaranteed that each and every single blank book that hits that thing turns into another one of him. Which means there's still time to see this affect Fluttershy and Rarity.
You sick, sick, bastard. I can't even describe how awesome this is. I love you. But really, though. First I was like:; but then I was like:; But now I'm like:. It's gone from gruesome to just plain silly. And I love it.
3106111 Hard Reset is not even close to the same. One of them creates an alternate universe for each death and the other just creates a dead body with a *pop*. Oh and the whole "time loop" thing.
Had to read that ending twice to get what was happening. So now it's hunting season with the most dangerous game of all, rainbow flying horse. Hope some of the council use their weather tricks to get creative. If pegasus can walk on clouds, could you suffocate one with one?
One of these books falls down, and gets infused with some of his magic, creating out literary friend that’s given us so much trouble. Then is sneaks onto the first box is can find, and sees how far it can get.
Out=Our, "that's given" would be better if "that's giving" unless you want Twilight to sound like a cowboy (that just struck me, I laughed but I might as well point it out), the next two "is" should be "it".
As soon as she laid eyes on it, it took an unnaturally tight turn and headed straight for it.
YES! YES! IT'S UPDATED!
Oh, wow. This just gets better and better!
I like that the ponies are becoming so desensitized to Dash's grisly encounters that they're actually admiring the damage.
Also, what the hell ending.
When in doubt...
Send in the one who can't die. At all. Ever.

MURDER FEST!!!!!

Aww, I want a turn!
That's certainly a unique approach to the Want-It-Need-It spell.
3104601
They're doing it because they know it's possible and that she'll just pop back into a new body.
Well what a TWIST
ooh ooh, i call the next turn
We really need to get pe- er ponies to start commentating on the 'action' Dash has.

Just start here, it will keep you up to date on all the references and such that people would make.

YOur picture....and you comment together...oh god
PFFFFFFFFFFFFT
This is getting silly.
Why am I still laughing?
3104580 Or the one that just won't stay dead...
Well I think Dash has every right to kick the flank of every pegasi in the room now. Whose first!

You know she's just mashin 'X' to respawn every time.
Rainbow Dash is worst TDM teammate.
3106111
the exact same? Hardly. That was a hard reset; this is like playing Lemmings.
3108979 At least she wasn't cursed with Left 4 Dead style revival. Just look at how hard it is to find someplace safe in this version of Equestria, they would never get her back!

The dynamics it produces are very different.
tMDoRD -> Zerg
HR -> Protoss

....Wait.... What....
Applejack's curse reminds me of Bryce's immortality from NeverDead...
What happens if you use a defibrillator on one of the intact fresh dead bodies?

... OOOOH. I see. You're looking at this and being worried that they're similar? Well, the similarities end at the point you outlined. Riight there.
3111498>>3111500
Stop replying at the exact same time XD
Anyway, Dragon, all right. That is cool. Just wondering because they are very similar.
And Sozimoi, yep, you got it.
3111621 Boy Rainbow Dash is dying as frequently, as hard, and as funny as Roger Wilco and anything else out of a Sierra adventure game!
This story is great! I was waiting for the next chapter!

He'll yea another chapter
This is going to be fun.
Hehehe Pinkie
I'm not sure why, but the descriptions of Dash's deaths really remind me of Dwarf Fortress for some reason.
3142791 not insects.
3142983 i should know.
3111498 What happens if one of the "dead bodies is revived? Unless her mind goes to the new body and shuts down the old one.
3106111 Hard Reset is not even close to the same. One of them creates an alternate universe for each death and the other just creates a dead body with a *pop*. Oh and the whole "time loop" thing.
awsomeness! :3 i can hardly wait until the next chapter comes out
3187475 That's an interesting question. What if some of the dead Dash's are intact enough to revive? Does that create more Rainbow Dash's?

>>Relaxing Dragon
Please Post the next story soon, it has been far to long await as it is.
