    Author: Dubs Rewatcher
    Description: Despite what many may think, Rainbow Dash isn't fearless. There is one thing that keeps her at bay, that she will fight to protect: her reputation.

    So, what happens when that reputation comes in contact with danger? Hilarity, tears, and mass panic, that's what.

    2. Great, another fanfic to favorite and not read because I'm 'busy'. That makes 71 unread now. I've only read 5. And School is starting. And I've allready been assigned a book before school started.

      Thats rarly a good sign when the AUTHOR apologizes in advance. The Scootabuse tag has me apprehensive, but I'll give it a read!

    5. About the Scootabuse; it's only one scene, encompassing a whole 3-4 sentences. It's a joke

    7. Nice short story
      really liked it.

      Scootabuse tag is nothing btw,
      No Scootaloo's were harmed in the writing of this fic

    10. It's not Scootabuse, it's more like Tough Scootalove or something.

    11. *Sigh..* I have so much homework to do but these ponies drive me to procrastination. Anyway, I liked the story, thanks for the read :)

    12. I dunno... Despite what others are confirming about the Scootabuse, there's still one other tag that has me apprehensive... especially since the Author felt the need to apologize in advance...

      It was a joke

      I was apologizing for making a terrible fanfic (self-deprecation comedy and all that wot)

    14. @Dubs Rewatcher You should apologize for misusing 'keeps her at bay' if anything :p

      ...Oh. Okay then.
      Sorry. Sometimes it's hard to tell when someone's joking around on the internet.

    17. Depite what I said earlier I did get around to reading this one. Nice story, felt like I was watching an episode of season 2. Well except that small Scotaloo part, but I found that too hillarious to worry about how that would never be on the show. Great read, good fanfic, it is worth your time. Although I am confused about the ending, I'll try to make this as anti-spoiler as possible...

      When 'The Pony that helped Rainbowdash' told Saphire about 'That episode' why did she help her? Maybe I'm missing something but what did she do that made Saphire want to repay her?

    18. Well, it was actually a really good read.

    19. Okay, I read the story and I like it but I have a question:

      Rainbow Dash wants to get an autograph (or two, or a dozen...) from Sapphire Shores, so she has to wait in line. WHY?

      Dash and her friends are the Elements of Harmony. They saved Equestria from Nightmare Moon.

      They saved Celestia from Nightmare Moon.

      Heck, they saved LUNA from Nightmare Moon!

      Shouldn't they eventually get some kind of respect for being, you know, the saviors of the whole world or the like?

      Yeah, I know that if Dashie could have just used her name to go to the head of the line the story wouldn't work, really I do, but sometimes I wonder why the girls seem to be totally unknown to everypony in Equestria.

      Again, I love the story, and I'm not criticizing it, but it's just something I've noticed and it's making me curious.

      She repaid her after hearing what trouble she had to go through to get the gems

      We didn't save the Day just to become heroes.
      We saved the day because it was the right thing to do. Going around and taking advantage of something you did that no pony else did is not the right thing to do.

      We don't want recognition, otherwise we wouldn't have had the problem with the first two tickets.

    22. Loved it! 5/5 Why do people keep whining about Scootabuse? IT DOESN'T EXIST! She just gets tossed out a window, cartoon-style. That was the funniest part of the story, considering she was hiding under Rainbow's bed in the first place!

      I love normal fics -- it makes me want Season 2 to come out sooner!

    23. I haven't read it yet, but that thing in the summary about reputation is exactly what I imagined for Dash. Glad to see I'm not the only one thinking that way.

      ReplyDelete
    24. @Pinkie Pie We all know you didn't do it to become heroes, but you still deserve some respect from the other ponies for it.

    25. @Ardashir, She doesn't use her name to get ahead in line because she's not willing to say "HEY! I'M RAINBOW DASH AND I LIKE SOMETHING THAT'S NOT ROCK!"

      And because she doesn't like doing that sort of thing.

      Also, "I liked her before she was popular", oh Hipster Dash.

      There is no way to know that it's not "real" Scootabuse from the front page. When I was checking the description to decide whether to spend the time reading the story I went "[normal] tag okay, summary interesting, complete tag good, woah SCOOTABUSE? Nope, moving on."

      I only came back and read the comments because nothing else caught my eye later on and I was perversely curious about what horrible thing fandom was up to this time around. If there's no real Scootabuse then the tag really shouldn't be there, IMO.

    27. I was honestly apprehensive about reading this, but I gave it a shot. And I am honestly surprised and glad I did. This sounded like a real episode, well Scootalo being under Rainbows bed sounds a bit stalkerish for a kids show. But the rest certainly seem like it would make a great episode about not being afraid to be who you are in front of your friends. 5/5 stars from me!

    28. Hey, you put an epilouge in my fanfic! You sneaky sneak!

      Wonderful story, 5 stars!

      To the 'Scootabuse':
      It only looks like it at first, but it is well played off.
      Scootawin!

    29. Awesome fic! Quite funny, plays like an actual episode, and the Scootaloo stuff is awesome (and not really Scootabuse, you might want to have left that out of the tag...).

      ReplyDelete
    30. For those with concerns, nothing bad happens, really.

      Anyway, decent enough fic. Didn't blow me away, bu nothing that stood out that I would like to give some constructive criticism about either. So all's good.

    32. How the hell did Scootaloo get to and from Dash's house in the first place?
