ReplyDeleteGiven the pre reader responses, I had better read this.
ReplyDeleteThis story is just hilariously fantastic! Much love, bro!
ReplyDelete<3
That description. Oh god.

ReplyDeleteBoo. Yah. Mothaf*cka.
ReplyDeletethis is unexpected
ReplyDeleteI.. you... what?
ReplyDeleteMy brain exploded.
This...
ReplyDeleteepic gold.
Very out-of-character. But epic gold nonetheless.
The description intrigues me to no end.
ReplyDeleteWhat's a "mamber"
ReplyDeleteI think an interesting question would be if five out of six characters a gay, does that have a bigger statement on the whole Equestrian population?
ReplyDeleteTime to read O:
ReplyDeleteWHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN

Count me in.
Other than a few moments where characters were a bit ooc (rarity mist if all) this was extremely entertaining. Complete with obligatory cupcakes reference and a comment about dash's rainbow mane.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to more of this.
Dear Princess Celestia
ReplyDeleteLove is Complicated... but I want your sister... She's everything I've ever wanted.
Your Faithful Student,
Twilight Sparkle.
None of that huh? lol. Great story, quite funny :)
Dash is asexual. Me gusta! ^o^
ReplyDeleteThe last paragraph:
ReplyDeleteD'aww
Awesome story all around.
I'm so conflicted. I don't like shipping at all but just the description made me laugh out loud and I'm not sure I laugh often enough to pass up this opportunity.
ReplyDeleteFortunately I have a tried and true method of dealing with conflicts like these: wait until tomorrow and see if I care enough to find it again.
It was nice.
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of same gender shipping...but the pre-reader comments and sheer refuge in audacity means I had to read it. Pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteDAT PICTURE
ReplyDeleteCupcakes joke? Check.
ReplyDeleteMild OOC? Check.
Hijinks? Check.
Rainbow Dash being thick-headed? Check.
Most excellent.
Seems more like a love feather-duster with Rainbow at the root, but whatever.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely fantastic though. A really really really really great read even if awkward at times (mainly Twilight's bits, ahahahah she's so socially inept and it's great and geeky and stuff).
PONIES DO THAT?
ReplyDeleteHee hee hee hee!
ReplyDeleteOh I have been waiting forever for a shipping fic where Dash isn't the romance pinata!
I love pinkie's word-plays when she tries to get dash to bed. Nice story
ReplyDeleteI read it... it was good!
ReplyDeleteDidn't have me laughing and rolling like some other fics, but I gave some good chuckles and really got into it. Could work a bit on RD's lines though, they seemed a tad OOC.
5-star story for sure. Well done.
Hahahaha!
ReplyDelete@jenovaii
ReplyDeleteAnd Pinkie would probably buck anythink if she'd tought it could be fun.
Huh. That was ok, but I fear I don't share the pre-readers enthusiasm. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteIs there gonna be more chapters?
ReplyDelete*reads description*
ReplyDelete...
...
"Proceed"
Jeez, once again everpony thinks Dash is from Lesbia.
ReplyDeleteI loved it! There needs to be more like this; I don't even know what that would entail, but there does need to be more.
ReplyDeleteAhhh... I love dramatic irony. Shakespeare would be proud.
ReplyDeleteHaha I loved the Celestia letter at the end. Great, funny, short read. Thanks Yanmato!
ReplyDeleteIt's just so horrible that it loops around and becomes awesome. Love it. :D
ReplyDeleteLooks like you overlooked some relevant data, Twilight!
ReplyDelete@SyrinKitty
ReplyDeleteBrothers is cynicism *brohoof*
That was the best comedic love hexagon pony one-sided shipping normal story I have ever read! And I don't read many of them so that makes this truly exceptional.
ReplyDeleteIsn't this the exact same plot from Chapter 1 of Everybody Loves Rainbow Dash?
ReplyDeleteNonetheless, I'll check this out.
Frickin' hilarious. After so many gay Dash fics, it's funny to see the situation completely turned on its head.
ReplyDeleteThis is the ship fic to end all ship fics.
Utterly hilarious, genius in fact.
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't make this up. Except you did, unless you're a real pony from equestria who's recording everything that happens, but that just makes you weird, so have fun.
ReplyDeletePonies can reproduce with same sex ponies, Celestia only made Stallions to be trollin'.
funny
ReplyDeleteComedy shipping is best shipping. This idea of Rainbow Dash being sought after by the rest of the mane 6 but herself being straight is fairly awesome. Execution-wise, it was alright, takes a lot of visualizing when it's that dialogue heavy. I'm not going to score it anything, I'm not sure where on the 5-star spectrum that belongs.
ReplyDeleteOh God at Pinkie's suggestion to go "Flying" with Rainbow Dash!!!! XD I couldn't stop laughing!!!
ReplyDeleteThe cupcakes reference was great, but Fluttershy accidently outing herself when everyone else got quite was frickin AWESOME! Seeing Pinkie Pie as a total horn dog was kinda off-putting though. Nonetheless, this has made me officially decide to add "unless its funny" to my usual no shipping rule.
ReplyDeleteBest shipfic I've read...ever.
ReplyDelete@Myoron
ReplyDeleteMine did too -- TWICE!!!
My Little Pony: Les-yay is hilarious!
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I have to love and tolerate you.
Spark was better.
I don't normally read the shipping stuff, but this had comedic possibilities, so I gave it a go.
ReplyDeleteI was not disappointed. Twilight's methods of persuasion were a hoot, and provoked precisely the reaction I expected from Rainbow Dash. Rarity using cheesy pick-up lines? Well, I imagine she's heard every single one of them, but still... Jarring enough to make me laugh, at any rate. And poor Fluttershy! Right into the awkward silence. You gotta love that kind of timing.
Rainbow's initial reactions kinda reminded me of me. I tend not to pick up on that sort of thing unless I'm paying attention. So even though she isn't my favorite pony (Pinkie Pie is), I found myself sympathizing with her a great deal. And I laughed out loud at her reaction when she finally understood what everyone wanted from her.
I was really wondering how the author was going to wrap it up, and he (she?) didn't disappoint. I found myself laughing and agreeing all at once. I checked, and this is Yanmato's first effort, at least on EqD. I enjoyed it thoroughly. And mechanically, it was well-edited and the narration was consistent, items I see frequently failed in other fanfics I read around the web. Well done, full marks for you!
Asexual Rainbow Dash is awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhat to say, what to say....
ReplyDeleteThis was interestingly funny. I don't really like same sex shipping, but I enjoyed the fact that Dash was the straight one for once.
This... what?
ReplyDeleteIt was kinda hilarious, but... Grif said it best. Pretty out of character on all counts, but decent nonetheless.
How bad is it that I can imagine a musical number to go with the first part of the fic?
ReplyDeleteHilarious ^^
Amusing. It reminds me of that 'everypony loves rainbow dash' pic, complete with said pegasus fleeing in terror.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I was giggling like an idiot the whole time. The way Twilight delivered her information was probably the funniest part for me, she's so dorky about it, and Rainbow Dash being completely oblivious was golden. The writing was good is what i'm trying to say, even if the characters were a little, well, out of character, still an enjoyable and adorable read.
ReplyDeleteHOW DOES THIS ONLY HAVE 4.6 STARS? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?
ReplyDeleteI'm honestly surprised by everyone saying the main six were OOC. I thought they were perfectly in character, and fucking hilarious to boot. Rarity's come-hither moves had me rolling even when I was prereading this in a crowded room full of people.
If it makes any difference, Yanmato, this story is six-star material in my mind.
Very, very well done, I must say. not to mention that it is also very, very FUNNY.
ReplyDeleteSexual deviant Pinkie scares me. Cliché pick-up artist Rarity is everything Rarity should not be, but still funny. Awkward Fluttershy is...well completely in character. I want to see Twilight's research, it would be interesting and probably hilarious.
ReplyDeleteOBLIVIOUS RAINBOW DASH IS BEST RAINBOW DASH.
@AnonymousOh, and I guess AJ was pretty much in character, too.
ReplyDeleteThis was rather fun, thank you for sharing it!

ReplyDeleteWhat happened here?
I literally fell out of my chair reading this, I was laughing so hard.
ReplyDeleteThis is best evor. Moar pl0x!111!
ReplyDelete"Mamber"
ReplyDeleteI liked it. It was pretty good, and it was a nice inversion of the "Dashxeverything" fics that are around. It would've been better if he had managed to keep the characters in-character. Rarity was the most different than she was in the show. It doesn't make it bad, just not ideal.
ReplyDelete6-Star.
ReplyDeleteFo' sho'
Rarity perfecting her Smoldering Lusty Gaze killed me.
I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. XD

ReplyDeleteALL OF MY MONEY
TAKE IT. TAKE ALL OF IT.
*hexagon
ReplyDeleteStupid typos
The "Complete" tag really goes a long way towards making me willing to read a fanfic on a whim, and THREE gushing pre-reader comments don't hurt either. I was not disappoint.
ReplyDeleteI had a healthy smirk the whole time I was reading this, and I think I laughed for a good two minutes after reading the last line!
A good time was had by all...except the painfully awkward time had by mane six, I suppose! Five stars from me, all the way. Here's to hoping a great, fun, shipping story like this gets to wear the six-star crown!
This tops the rest of them DashXEverypony fics around ED.
ReplyDeleteStraight Rainbow ftw!!! 'Cuz it's so funny and somewhat unusual.
@Aquaman52
ReplyDeleteBecause some of us didn't care for it as much as you did?
I thought it was decent. I've read other shipfic I liked more, but this one was decent.
I did feel the dialogue was overdone, far too out of character, but it was still a good, amusing read.
This is a nice twist on... well, EVERY RAINBOW DASH SHIPPING STORY EVER.
ReplyDeleteThis was an amusing read, though I think this is another one of those stories that would gain immensely from being a cartoon or other performance over being in text alone.
ReplyDeleteAll that talk-over-talk and bickering loses something when it's not acted out loud.
That said, this was still pretty funny. Certainly a bonus mark or two for straight, naive Dash and adventurous pervert Pinkie.
I really am not a shipping reader at all, but this seemed too ridiculous to pass up.
ReplyDeleteWell worth the read for a lot of silly laughs, although the last letter actually made me laugh out loud and probably wake up my neighbours.
This is the best pony slash I've read, and I've been on the internet all day.
ReplyDelete....Dude. I dumped Twilight off a cliff, had her drowned in a swamp and eaten by a hydra.
ReplyDeleteI think I've been nicer to her than you xD
Haha! That was great!
ReplyDelete*Reads description*
ReplyDelete...
*Head explodes... Twice*
"My horn is somewhat.... large" Oh my.
ReplyDeleteSO the one decked out in 'gay pride' apparel...is the only one that's straight? I have got to read this. The description actually reminds me of a one panel joke from another comic....
ReplyDelete"Is there anyone on the team who ISN'T a lesbian?"
"Well we're pretty sure I'm straight."
And it's never mentioned again.
The day I stop laughing is the day the world ends.
ReplyDeleteThat was hysterical. I especially loved Rarity. And Twilight's pie charts.
ReplyDeleteI loved it!
ReplyDelete>rainbow dash being the only straight one
ReplyDeletethat is EXTREMELY ironic
i'll add this onto my fanfics-to-read queue
Shortish, but hilarious. Twilight trying to woo Dash via pie charts was perhaps my favorite silliness here, although Pinkie's "special saddle" and Rarity's off-hand, husky comment about her horn size did make me grin, too!
ReplyDeletePoor, poor, stupid Rainbow Dash.
ReplyDeleteLemme guess -- it's not really a tropical island, is it.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeletePretty good, but yeah, the mane cat was a bit OOC for me. Nonetheless, that was a aweet read ^^
freaking Twilight. Predictable development but it was short and sweet. I honestly only got a laugh at the first Twilight attempt at Dash. Pinkie Pie was Pinkie Pie. Rarity was portrayed in a umm yeah.. Applejack was too fluttery. And Fluttershy idk I pictured the "~yay~" scene when she took in the deep breath, yeah it was still cute be her loud or soft I liked that scene too.
ReplyDelete3/5
And Rainbow, I love your mane so screw off stereotypes!
And furthermore, LOL @ "Ponies DO THAT???"
ReplyDeleteFrikkin' PRICELESS!
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteWhoops, wrong fic, haha. This made me giggle.:-)
ReplyDeleteRarity is the only one that I think was a bit OOC. I would think that she'd be a bit more subtle in her flirting attempt. Though I could see Pinky Pie being a bit, for a lack of a better term, slutty. She only cares about having fun, so if she enjoys her first time, she'll probably try to do it as often as possible.
ReplyDeleteThis story was so much fun! I was smiling through out it, loving Dashie's confusion.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't just some random fic. This is the logical culmination of the entirety of FIM fanfic writing. With this fic we are one step closer to pony singularity.
ReplyDeleteWhy is everypony on this show a vanilla-frosting lesbian!?
ReplyDelete"my horn is somewhat....LARGE"
ReplyDeleteThe single greatest unicorn pickup line i've ever heard
Dear God I'm pissing myself at the first chapter. This is genius!
ReplyDeleteA greater moral there never was.
ReplyDeleteI don't think a Hexagon is the right word for this though, it's more of a Pentagon with a line from each point to the center (Rainbow Dash).
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious. This is freaking brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI love that they all are approaching her in different ways, and with different intentions. I love the characterization of Rarity as a sex fiend. "Jackmare"? I've never heard that one before, I love it.
Oh god, Rarity's pickup scene was the best.
"Ponies DO THAT?"
The letter is the best part. This was a remarkable piece of absurdity, pulled off with aplomb. I can't believe no one else has come up with this idea! It's just hysterical and I loved every minute of it.
I still think that rainbow dash likes girls
ReplyDeleteIs it odd that I've done exactly what Twilight did when preparing to/asking someone out?
ReplyDeleteOther than Rarity being very OOC (I expected more of 'round up in corner, kiss kiss' technique), I really liked this story! Pinkie Pie was def the funniest, with Twilight as a close second. :)
ReplyDelete@Yami-Yugi I was thinking of that comic too.
ReplyDeleteLove. Science rises her hands.
ReplyDeletealso, this is the most hilarious fic I have ever read xD
Dear god this was fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I just looked reeeally hard at AJ in that picture. She's only standing on two of her hooves.
ReplyDeleteHella good balance.
Rarity: Lamest pickup lines ever. So many sexual innuendos.
ReplyDeleteBUT SO AWESOME
A little down, i chuckled to myself, i found it amusing.
ReplyDeleteAbout half way down, i began to laugh quite a bit, but i still held it back.
Near the end/three-quarters down, i just busted out laughing. Rarity with her sexual innuendos, rainbow dash being oblivious, Twilight with all of her hard data.
On a scale of 1 to 10.
i give you a 11.
This thing, man. Holy shit. Everything about it was perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe premise was extremely amusing. I laughed my head off just from reading the description.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately it was poorly executed. It was just a chaotic muddle of dialogue and half the time I didn't even know who was speaking.
(Really thought I had already commented)
ReplyDeleteI read this around 4 am after a whole load of shippin' readin'.
(Comment was glitched, recomment lazily time-)
Made me laugh, loved it, 5/5 because I can.
(Red copies his comment before posting this time)
Thoughts:
ReplyDelete//Today, Pinkie Pie would finally ask the scrumptious pegasus Rainbow Dash-//
Oh how sw-
//-to her bed.//
*spit-take*
.. Why do I get the feeling that romance is gonna be a dirty word in this story.
Btw, shouldn't it be "the scrumptious pegasus, Rainbow Dash, to her bed." ?
//She had proven it countless times. But one space on her bedpost remained unnotched, one victory unwon.//
I should really be more appalled that Rarity is the village bicycle.. Why is she always a capital S slut in these stories?
//But today, she and Dash would meet at Pinkie Pie’s latest celebration, and Rarity played her cards right (and she always did), [...]//
You forgot an "if".
//Rainbow Dash was, for once in her life, on time for something.//
So the fastest pony in Ponyville is always late? Interesting liberty to take with her character.
//“I’ve been thinking about you, Dashie. That’s what this party is all about. I’ve been thinking about how athletic you are.”//
"You're the one I dream about
But the only question with me now~
Is do I creep you out~?"
//“I’m sorry, Twi. I kinda tuned out once I lost track of where this was all going.”
“When was that?”
“Ten minutes ago, maybe.”//
Would've been funnier if she'd said something along the lines of "somewere between the first and second sketch." since the reader has no feeling of the passage of time.
//“What?” Applejack spoke a little more loudly than she meant to, and her mouth stayed open longer than it should have.
Applejack was too stunned to stop rainbow Dash from wandering across the parlor to the punch bowl, where Rarity was waiting for her.//
In comedy (like this) it's pretty much a stable to have huge reactions with no one acknowledging them. Friendship is Magic is that kind of show. However, it doesn't flow well that Dash just walks away after Applejack (seems to) question the honesty behindf RD's statement on their bond.
*After reading Rarity's next few escapades*
So.. those are the lines that laid down Ponyville huh.
//Dear Princess Celestia,
Love is complicated.
- Twilight Sparkle//
Weak ending (last two pages), but I guess the author had places to be.
~D
I lol'd.
ReplyDeleteOh rainbow dash you so oblivious
ReplyDeleteThis was pretty good. I didn't chuckle, but I certainly felt amused the whole way. 5/5
