@AwesomePony: That's it! I'm kicking you out of the site! I don't care if you're LyraHands' long lost sister, I refuse to deal with your abominable writing! Usually when somepony rewrites something it's better. Well you are the one exception to the rule. Looking at your latest attempts I can only DREAM of the quality of the first chapter you sent me!
Seriously, how do you manage? "Your're" ?! Most usually settle for mixing up your and you're, but not you've transcended to a whole new level where the rules of grammar and logic no longer apply! Remember when I said you should go back to school? Don't! For the sake of everything sacred don't subject anypony else to the horror that is you! I'm truly astonished you managed to survive so long! Certainly not by writing anything!
Jade
@Jade: So, umm, I must add less stuff?
AwesomePony
I give up! I'm going to the common room to listen my stupid classmates discuss mares. Even that would be a much more enlightened conversation!
Jade
Okay, it's been 30 minutes. Somepony say something?
MightyDragon
@MightyDragon: Well how do you react to that? It's borderline MC related, Jade is on a rampage, and I can't even comment since I haven't read the story/chapter in question.
PaintDrop
@PaintDrop: Don't worry, Jade is just upset because he loves the story. (And he'll be mad when he reads this, I'm sure.) I read through it as well. The idea is really good. If you can force yourself to see through the weird logic and writing issues I definitely want to read more of it.
@AwesomePony: If you want ask somepony to be your editor? Just not Jade (or my sister will kill you. She already thinks you're flirting way too much with him.)
Short&Hoofy
@Short&Hoofy: I know I'm just that awesome. And sure, I guess I could let somepony provide some input. Not that I need it or anything. And DarkSparkle is still a bit upset with em over my Daring Do fanfic (which was totally awesome, by the way! She just couldn't grasp the advanced basics lot aerodynamics to make out the puzzles!)
AwesomePony
@AwesomePony: you're hilarious! So glad I got you to join this site!
Oh, and what happened to "Midnight Castle is lame!"? Just so everyone here knows, she's already got the entire Chronicles collection and a reprint of the original stories. She keeps them right next to her Daring Do collection!
Feather
@Feather: I never said it was lame! And that's so not true! They are on the shelf under my Daring Do collection! Huge difference!
AwesomePony
@AwesomePony: I'll be your editor, if you want? I'm good at logic and grammar and spelling. And I love reading! :)
Twist
Can somepony tell me what the story is about? I know it's a MC DD crossover, but I've read a dozen similar ones. What makes that own so special to get Jade react in such a way? (For reference the last pony Jade hated so much ended up being his bride :D)
PrinceEric
@Short&Hoofy, @PrinceEric: Ha ha! :/ Really funny.
So maybe I'm a bit protective of Jade, but with all that flirting who can blame me?! It's become a daily thing! AwesomePony says how awesome she is, then gets into an argument with Jade. Now I know the difference between flames and flirting and this is not flames. :/
As for the story itself, it's good. Also I think Jade exaggerates about the errors. It's not that badly written. That doesn't mean I like you or anything, AwesomePony! Just that I don't see a reason for the story to be rejected all the time. Maybe An editor can help.

Ten story is about Daring Do and Danny in a foreign world. The really clever part is that it takes from both stories but at the same time doesn't. (Okay time to go into some world building explanations:))
Daring Do takes place in Equestria, right? So we have everything we're familiar with on Equestria plus a few exotic elements (things that take place on the edges of the explored world).
Everhere takes place on a human world. We have humans, magic, weird technology, and a definite lack of ponies. (Even in Everhere it's mentioned they are an exceedingly rare occurrence.)
What AwesomePony has done is transport them to a world where humans and ponies live side by side. And I'm not talking a HiE or a PoG! Evening is built in such a way that the two races complement each other. Every piece of technology is designed to be operated by magic hooves and hands. Gearworks, combined with weather magic, are prevalent giving rise things as lightning bolt mechanical carriages made of thousands of human made gears, houses are built to accommodate humans and ponies (often in the same room), and the food industry is developed in such a way so as to have protein rich plants so that humans and ponies could eat the same dishes (mean and flowers still exist).
But it doesn't end there! (Oh, no!) The corporations, Ahuizotl, and chosen of the deities (think evil Bellucio) have access to this world via secret portals! Oh and they all are after powerful artifacts (especially the everstone amulet).
That aside it's just a badly executed action packed adventure story. ;)
LightSparkle
Woooooooow! :D Want! :)))
PrinceEric
@AwesomePony: Me and SweetStuff also want to be your editors!
ForceFeedback
@AwesomePony: I can take a stab at that.
YouKnowWho
What the hay?!? @YouKnowWho: since when do you edit? @SweetStuff, @ForceFeedback: I didn't even know you two were interested in that?
PaintDrop
@ForceFeedback: What?!? No I don't!
SweetStuff
@AwesomePony: How does it feel to be a star? ;)
LightSparkle
Err, sure. :D I'll just post an a-link and you can all edit on it there. Okay? That's okay, right?
AwesomePony
@SweetStuff: Just say yes and we get to read it. ;P
ForceFeedback
@AwesomePony: It's unorthodox, but not against the rules. However, I strongly suggest doing it via PM. I don't want to add a new rule because of this.
The TechNightling
Awesome!
ForceFeedback
Sweet!
AwesomePony
I've always known I'd be an editor! It's my calling!
MightyDragon
B-baka.
(Hey, someone had to say it. )
In any case, this does sound like quite the AU. I could see an entire subcommunity of the site form around it. Indeed, it appears one has.
8137925 Comgratulations! You just created a triple tsundere (sp?) love triangle.
You should feel bad!
:D
8137925 You have no idea.
Awesome's idea is really good and very original. Jade being her editor doesn't work anyway because she wants to prove a point to him about writing stories. I wonder why ForceFeedback is so excited that he ropes his fillyfriend in without asking her first and I hope it's not going to cause trouble.
Speaking of typos
8137963 Because he wants to read for free :)
8138012 I just posts the posts. Them horses know not spelling! :P
First you make Mismount sound cool. THEN you give us this!!!
What is it with you and creating cool sounding worlds that we can't eat?! T_T
Seriously though, someone needs to work on a well written world that combines the best of EG and MLP!! <3
Oh no... Did AwesomePony just create Midnight Castle's equivalent of Fallout: Equestria?
At this point in our fandom we had two great fics that involved huge elements of world building. So... is Awesome Pony writing "Fallout: Equestria" or is she writing "Past Sins"? Or (a better guess) is this new and unique to this world?
I love Mighty's little interjections at the end of these.
She's really full of herself isn't she? Is her next fanfic going to be Yuge? Because she's awesome. Everyone thinks so.
Sorry, I needed to get that out of my system.
I'm wondering if AwesomePony and YouKnowWho know who each other are.

Worldbuilding, blending of different narrative universes... definitely more FO:E.
Also, I'm going to go ahead and say I don't think Jade should be approving stories until he gets his head on straight again. His rants lately have been marginally constructive at best; more often, he's been hurtful and personal. Maybe he thinks the job offer makes him God's gift to writing, but that's still no reason to act like he does. RRBB got reined in last time she was this bad, there is no reason everypony keeps giving Jade a pass on this.
The way he's going now makes me think his first apology was worthless. If I were a nightling, I'd ask one of the other mods to take him aside and talk about this. Threads get licked for all kinds of reasons, but with Jade, they all seem to shrug and pretend everything's okay.
"Ha ha, good old Jade, telling a writer she only got through school because of nepotism! Isn't he great?"
F*ck that noise.

As unpleasant as it is, it's also a distressingly realistic depiction of how many communities behave. People put up with behavior from group insiders that they'd never tolerate from an outsider—especially if it's directed towards an outsider.
Considering AwesomePony is most likely Rainbow Dash, I doubt she really cares about this abuse, though.
I feel bad for Max, it must feel awful feeling threatened like that.
8139322
True. Unfortunately, Jade is in a position of authority as well. He should face greater scrutiny regarding his behaviour, not less. If being a story approver puts so much stress on him he can't help but become a jerk again, he shouldn't be one.
I'm a member of Rage Reviews, and even they have as their first rule "You are not allowed to insult the author".
That group's whole existence centres around scathing reviews, and they try to be nicer than Jade, who is a story approver. Just let that sink in.

8138270 I know... sorry O:)
8138406
8138434
Actually, it's neither :) I'm only following my interpretation of AwesomePony's character based on the show :)
8138476 MightyDragon is a fine character when not tense :)
8138870 yep, definitely her :)
8139067 Yes :) They saw each other during the rescue flights :)
8139261
8139322
Jade is one of those whose a sweetheart in real life, but a menace behind a computer
8139378 Actually, she does a bit
8140295 :D
8140537
You know the biggest twist about all of this?
If Awesomepony is indeed Rainbow Dash, she doesn't even need to write a self-insert OC into the story. She's already canon in Daring Do.

Huh. I guess it'd be kind of awkward if the Equestrian ponies went to a world where ponies were completely mundane. (Though that's been depicted a number of times, too. With a split as to whether or not the Eq-ponies -- or, hey, Sunset -- could communicate with them.)
8140851
never realized this, but when I never realized that Rainbow has derpy looking eyes on that cover...
