Or, you know, they might not be something Derring Do related. Some other books starting with a D, if that shelf is alphabetically arranged. Or other books by the same author, possibly.

They must just be prequels. Sort of like how someone might arrange The Chronicles of Narnia.

Same... letters?

What is this, the same book with a different cover? Is Twilight collecting every publication of all the books or something?

Maybe Twilight has multiple editions of the books in the Daring Do series (it is a library, after all).

EDIT: Half-ninja'd

Yeah, I know I shouldn't care, but if MILLIONS of people will get up in arms over whether Dinky is Ditzy's kid or not, then I can have this. [lol]

It just bugged me

[up][up] I saw the first part of "Daring Do" I'm not sure if the bottom says "Sapphire" or not [lol]

It could be a Daring Do coffee book or art book, or a special anniversary release, or some other non-fiction title.

So, a Daring Do page, like Inspector Spacetime? On that note, I'm almost surprised we don't have a Doctor Whoof page (excluding all the Doctor Whoof fanfics).

I think those 2 books before are like Temple of Doom in Indy series, sequels but technicaly prequels. Normal readers don't even know those take place before first book, but nerds like TS know that and have books on shelf in chronological order.

Daring Do Just For Fun page sound great, when you make that hapen?
They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.

@Ace: I really want to see their reactions to when Derpy actually talks.

EDIT: Okay, Here's the review again for those who missed it last night.

Ginger you can totally make the page, it only takes a minute to figure out how.

What would the actual title be?

The Adventures Of Daring Do

Ideas for Daring Do tropes:

  • Added Alliterative Appeal / Character Name and the Noun Phrase: Every book.
  • All That Glitters: In Griffon's Goblet, Daring Do is able to find the real Goblet by realizing that a real Griffon wouldn't use a bulky, non-aerodynamic cup covered in gemstones, and would instead have a more plain, covered goblet that wouldn't spill during flight and wouldn't be the target of dragons.
  • Drama-Preserving Handicap: In Sapphire Stone, Daring receives a wing injury before landing on the island, and isn't able to fly. A good thing for the story, because otherwise she'd have just flown over a good deal of the traps.
  • Executive Meddling: Some prints of the fist book are titled "Sapphire Statue" instead of "Sapphire Stone". This was because the publishers thought that the target demographic wouldn't understand that the titular Stone is part of the statue hidden in the lost temple. Thankfully, this stopped after the first book.
  • Growing the Beard: After the first book, the author hired a Pegasus to help edit the books, and learned a lot more about Pegasi than she knew when writing the first book. As such, the temples and traps and such in later books started to become more geared towards a flying protagonist, so that the author wouldn't have to keep resorting to inuring Daring's wings.

I wonder if they tried to reboot the Daring Do series years after the last book came out? [lol]

It wasn't well recieved because they tried to include aliens and Daring Do surviving a Rain Nuke by hiding in a fridge.

[up][up] Let's not make it too Indiana Jones reference-y. After all, the story we saw wasn't as much of an IJ reference as we thought it was gonna be...
