The sexiest man you've ever met.

Rainbow Dash closed her eyes, trying to think about anything but the straps that bound her to the wooden board. She cracked one eye open just enough to see Applejack, smiling mouth full of the knives that would soon be racing though the air towards her. The things some ponies will do for love...

Pretty good

Not bad. I got to admit, cant wait for the real thing.

Haven't read something like this before. My mind is going off into what kind of conflict will be involved in this story. I'm just imagining Applejack being distracted for some reason and having her end up physically hurting Rainbow Dash. I'd guess this is going to be a shorter story, but I'll be watching this to see what happens.

Congrats. This is the 100th story on my Read Later story.

I'm guessing (hoping) that Dash admits her love before the contest 'in case anything goes wrong'. This would cause AJ to be distracted and actually hurt her. Not only physically but also her trust in Applejack because surely Rainbow will find some deeper meaning to it :)

Did anyone else think of a certain grimdark fic when seeing the words "Rainbow Dash," "bound," and "knives" in the description?

ohhh yeah, that's gonna come back to bite her in the ass.

As one if your editors, I would've suggested submitting this to EqD before posting it here. Then you don't have to make further edits to a story that readers have already seen on the off chance that it's still not ready. The EqD readers will still be able to see the story though the link, so long as you don't password protect it. Though I would have to assume, as the last person to review this, that it is ready for EqD. But why take the chance, right?

Nice! I have to admit, I was a tad skeptical of a random knife chucking contest. I wouldn't want amateurs signing up for one of those (especially Derpy), but for the sake of the story I'm loving the idea. Here's to hoping that no one ends up maimed or seriously injured. Can't wait to see where you go with this next :pinkiehappy:

Well written, nice plot (heh, alright), great characterization... Loving this story so far, keep writing! :ajsmug:

Love this story. Time for another fave and a like! Holy Jesus I have too many favorites o.o

Ohey, I got first post! Cool! :D also

I found a few errors but not much. :3

Rareity and Pinkie are written so well here. :heart:

I was earlier than first. :pinkiecrazy:

Anyway, I'm not surprised daredevil Dash would enjoy that.

Holy guacamoleeeeeeeeeeeee, keep writing! :pinkiehappy:

Errors? Mind pointing them out? I'd like for this to be as error free as possible.

I'm enjoying it. You're getting into their characters without overdoing it. Very nice.

Awesome work here my friend :ajsmug:
I like your type of writing and hope there will be soon some more to read for me.
Have this mustache and a nice day :moustache:

The disparity is too great if you ask me, going from scared shitless to enjoying it just isn't something that would realistically happen, either she'd be a little scared but agree, or she wouldn't think it was awesome.

The romantic aspect also seems to have shifted without us really knowing, with Dash suddenly actively trying kiss Applejack.

While I do like the premise of the story, this second chapter is too much out of tone with the first one (Example: if you wanted Applejack to be uncertain there had to be something to that effect in the previous chapter as right now it comes out of nowhere.)

I. Like it so much can't wait till the next chapter:yay::yay::yay::yay::rainbowwild::rainbowwild::rainbowlaugh::rainbowwild:

Interesting point, but have you ever tried zip lining? Going immediately from 'scared shitless' to enjoying it is a pretty accurate description. Assuming you're not like me and don't throw up all over yourself... I assume other types extreme sports, ie bungee jumping, sky diving, having knives thrown at you, are probably similar.

You're probably right about those other things. The attempted kiss was supposed to be more of a gut reaction kind of thing as result of the intimacy of the moment. I suppose I should revise to make that more clear. I tried to indicate that Applejack wasn't completely sure with the sweating when she first asked Dash about the competition, but I guess it was too small of detail.

I really wonder how you people come up with this stuff. "Hey, I'm going to write a appledash with Knife throwing as the catalyst for a romance..."

what?

I like it, everything is how it should be. good pacing, good characterization, nice humour, interesting premise.
No complaints.

Pretty good, pretty good.

I know that feel, bro.

1918489 lol you think that's bad try my story tom walks

iambrony.jsmart.web.id/mlp/gif/69362__safe_animated_octavia_reaction-image_clapping.gif

Well well well. This story was good. I always love to read some good appledash and this is one of the storys that I will remember and read again after some time. It has everything what a good story need and you really wrote this very good. :twilightsmile:

I would like it to read some of your work with appledash or other parings. Gonna look for it in the future. :ajsmug:

Good job, Equ-us. This was a fun, entertaining, well-written read with a funny, sweet story and a most entertaining ending. Thank you for the entertainment. :pinkiehappy:

Awww, it's over now?:pinkiesad2:

A very nice, fun story. Pinkies idea was a bit insane but then again...it worked :pinkiecrazy:

But...did i saw a bit of Raripie in this story? :raritywink:

wait what :pinkiegasp::raritycry::raritydespair:
DERPY won:derpytongue2:
I want a re:flutterrage::raritydespair:count

Well, I've utterly failed my oath to reply to every comment I receive on my fics to say thanks. Time to fix that now.

Thank you. :twilightsmile: I really, really appreciate the kind words.

1905567>>1905484
I was so close to going back and rewriting the last part after reading these two comments. Part of the reason why it took so long to get out. I hope you weren't too disappointed with how it turned out. Though, you've budded some very interesting ideas on a possible continuation.

1905570
I know I thought of a certain grimdark fic when I wrote that...

1912072
Indeed, if anyone would enjoy it, it would be Dash. Or Pinkie.

1918489
Yeah, I'm not sure where the idea came from either. What would be the silliest, most ridiculous sport for ponies to compete in? It was either this or lacrosse.

1932233
AppleDash is one of my favorite ships, I would very much like to write more on the pairing eventually.

1933391
I might have snuck a tiny little snippet of RariPie in there somewhere. Because RariPie,I need no other explanation.

1933739
I know, right? I suspect that muffin was using performance enhancing drugs.

Am I the only one still wondering what Ditzy did with the muffin?!

1912269 Oh? Correcting allowed.. I'll do it later, be ready for the corrections.

This was beautiful, Equ-us. Was gone a long while, and... this was just perfect to come back and read. Brilliant idea, uncommonly excellent execution. Just a pleasure to read.

Merry Christmas.

:pinkiehappy:

Amazing, simply amazing

This was an enjoyable read.

1934296
It's being worked on by top men. Top men.

Corrections are encouraged.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, I know it wasn't really what the prompt was asking for. I couldn't write comedy to save any of my cat's nine lives.
1946682>>1964439
Thank you very much. :twilightsmile:

I spy a Family Guy reference. Top. Men. :trixieshiftleft:

1972223

Well, Family Guy references everything and i never bothered with Indiana Jones, so... 8D they probably referenced Indiana Jones and I never got the reference. :twilightsheepish: :facehoof: :derpytongue2:

Chapter 1: Well-done, breezy narrative.
Chapter 2: Glad to find out not everypony will be flinging knives at each other, which was giving me serious suspension-of-disbelief problems. Intriguing use of bondage concepts in a mainstream, non-freaky way.
Chatper 3: The story concept is great! AJ deliberately did all this as an object lesson in trust. Takes us thru a solid RD character arc. Tight, nothing extraneous, cute ending. Glad you brought Derpy back; I was going to ding you for having Derpy get emotional in the first scene and then not following up on that.

Commence read.

Knife throwing.Certainly an interesting mental image to see that process done without magic.

did the artwork just change? swear it was different last night when i read this.

Yeah, the original screenshot cover was pretty dull, so I swapped it with something more interesting.

Suddenly thinking of the throwing knives scene in Devil's Carnival. Something (that something being basic common sense) tells me this fic isn't going to be very similar.

“Special fish, huh?” she said to herself.

She turned and trotted towards Sweet Apple Acres. She couldn’t help but smile at the analogy.

Look's like Applejack's looking to reel in...
:coolphoto:
...a Rainbow Trout.

:yay: Yaaaaaaaay.

"I ate it!" LOL. DERPY IS BEST KNIFE THROWER!!!!!!!!!! :derpytongue2::derpytongue2::derpytongue2::derpytongue2:

I can only imagine how the conversation that started all this went...

:ajsleepy: "Pinkie, ya know as much as Ah do what Rainbow's feelin', an' Ah wanna let her know that Ah'll never do anything t' hurt 'er, but Ah just don't know how to go about it. Any ideas?"
:pinkiehappy: "Ooh! I know! You should throw knives at her!"
:applejackunsure: "...Beg yer pardon?"
