->''"Another day, another dungeon!"''
-->-- '''Daring Do'''

Meet Ms. Daring Do, the strong and clever head of the Royal Canterlot University Department of Equinology. She has made it her mission in life to learn everything she can about the long lost civilizations of the world, by hunting down their treasures, great and small, and preserving them back at the Canterlot University. But unfortunately for her the mysterious Ahuizotl is out to get them first for aims that aren't clear to anyone, least of all Ms. Do herself...

'''''The Adventures of Daring Do''''' is a series of Adventure/Action/Fantasy novels written by [[Creator/JKRowling A.K. Yearling]], published by Polo House, Inc. in Canterlot. The series is written in a AnachronicOrder, starting close to the beginning of Do's adventuring career, and then skipping around the various missions and adventures, with little to no explanation. Bits and pieces of Do's backstory have been revealed but nothing concrete; there also appears to be a MythArc, but written out of order.

The manuscript of the first published book, ''Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone,'' was found by acclaimed Editor and Literary agent Hard Cover in the desk drawer of A.K. Yearling, who at the time was working at the Canterlot Royal Library. Apparently Yearling had written the story just for herself and her family, but some coaxing from Cover convinced her to have it published, with some minor edits. She has since published seventeen more, with an unknown amount planned for the future. When asked about the strange order of release, Yearling has famously responded with, "I write them as they come to me."

The "Core Series," (which currently number eighteen) make up a loose canon, also commonly dubbed, "The Yearling Canon"; though numerous ExpandedUniverse/Spinoffs exist, many fans refuse to accept them as canon. This is especially true after a long hiatus, Yearling started a new book and the publishers officially declared the expanded universe a completely separate continuity. Unlike the [[Creator/{{Disney}} Disneigh]] reboot of the [[Franchise/StarWars Star Horse]] franchise, she does not allow anypony else to work with her on her writings, so the current ExpandedUniverse is considered a parallel universe and will continue on in its own continuity. The stories have quickly become one of the most well-known classics in modern Equestrian literature, and are popular with grade-school pony classes. There's a large adult fanbase as well; [[OneOfUs Princess Celestia]] herself has even praised the series.

Yearling herself has been an infamously reclusive pony, going out of her way to avoid the fame and popularity that her books have earned her. In the beginning of her career she even tried to remain anonymous, which led to her unofficial nickname of [[StevenUlyssesPerhero T. Ropers]] by her publisher, Polo House, because the manuscripts she turned in were bound in [[LineOfSightName teal-colored rope]]. Described as a meek and mild-mannered pony by those who have met her, she can be recognized by the large hat and blanket that she wears due to her sensitivity to sudden temperature changes, and the large pair of glasses that she has to wear thanks to severe near-sightedness. Some have theorized that Daring Do is A.K. Yearling's secret fantasy, living the life that the author herself wishes she had. The fact that Daring Do's coloration on the covers closely resembles that of her author gives some credence to this theory.

One critic jokingly suggested that A.K. Yearling ''is'' Daring Do, who writes up her own adventures as works of fiction so nopony will be tempted to go after the dangerous secrets and relics that she does in every book. His fellow academics had a good laugh at that bit of absurdity. Curiously, the Daring Do franchise isn't published in southern Equestria, whose press often reports on various incidents attributed to her as if she were a real pony. Other strange theories have popped up, with some suggesting that the books are a "fail-safe" of sorts, so that if Daring Do ever failed in an adventure she'd have an entire fandom who knows how she defeated her enemies before.

Due to the insatiable demand for new Daring Do works overtaking the amount actually produced by the author, whose erratic schedule sometimes has a year or more between books, Yearling worked out a deal with Polo House that allows other authors to publish novels starring her creation, while Yearling gets to keep the rights and gets a share of the profits. However, to insulate Polo House from potential backlash (especially if the ExpandedUniverse violates the continuity by the author herself), the Daring Do ExpandedUniverse exists separately from the main series [[StationsOfTheCanon (using it as the starting point)]], and even from each other (though there are various "continuity families"). However, thanks to an increasing number of collaborative works, the ExpandedUniverse is becoming increasingly more connected.

# '''Daring Do And The Coronet of Chaos''', by J. Thunderlane Hurricane Jr.: Daring and her friends must team up to stop the unleashing of the most horrible monster Equestria has ever faced: Krastos The Gluemaker. Probably one of the biggest Base Breakers in the series and falls under Love It Or Hate It, due to Krastos' characterization.

The ending is considered a MindScrew by many due to Daring Do meeting alternate versions of herself and ending on [[ComicBook/AnimalMan a conversation with Mareson on the state of fiction written about her and her friends and ending on an ambiguous note questioning whether or not it was all just a dream.]] [[ViewersAreGeniuses It is considered to be the worst of the Daring Do spin offs by its fans due to it being too confusing]] and [[ComicBook/FinalCrisis the ending that requires the reader to know the entire history of the character and the stories that inspired the writer to write the character]] when, in fact, most reviewers of the book actually say that is not true due to the majority of the themes being universal and the references made at the end are just in passing and more akin to to easter eggs for the fans. [[ComicBook/NewXMen Haters of the series loving it because it does something new with the ''Daring Do'' formula despite using many of the tropes they are known to hate from the series]].

But is there more going on than first assumed?

Can Daring stop the irrational and revenge-driven Rex and the schemes of Ahuizotl?

While exploring the Castle of the Two Sisters, Daring stumbles onto a plot to steal, separate and hide the Elements of Harmony. After failing to stop it, Daring brings together several of her sidekicks to split up across the globe, searching deserts, mountains and valleys to find the gems before disaster strikes.

This powerful artifact granted unlimited power and abilities to its wielder for the intention of matching and slaying godlike individuals.

* '''Daring Do [[VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonAndTheUnwoundFuture and the Unwound]] [[TrollingCreator Timestream]]''' (Due date "confidential") by [[Tropers/MugenKagemaru Endless Dream]], A.K. Yearling, and L. Heartstrings: The only things we know about this upcoming book are the title; that Dr. Endless Dream seemed to have been collaborating with A.K. Yearling herself on this project; that after [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E1TheImpossibleAstronaut Dr. Dream was tragically murdered]] while on vacation [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E13TheWeddingOfRiverSong at Lake Illumina]] in the Crystal Empire, L. Heartstrings signed on to assist Yearling with the project; and Heartstrings only signed on due to her prior friendship with Dr. Dream prior to his death. It is also noted that T. Turner also expressed interest in assisting with the project, but on the condition that L. Heartstrings be removed from the collaboration entirely. The reason for this is unknown, Turner claims it is confidential, while the demand itself appears to be a sore subject with Heartstrings, who was unwilling to discuss it when asked. Because of the demand, Yearling refused Turner.

There is also a series of shorter Daring Do stories aimed at young foals called ''The Young Adventures of Daring Do'' which take place prior to the main series, though whether these are in continuity, or even done by the same author is hotly debated amongst fans (as is the rumor that [[FanFic/{{Progress}} Princess Luna, since her return, likes to read them aloud to her friends and one of her toys]]).

The fandom has been... less than pleased.

There is also a seven-part arc written by an anonymous contributor known by the pen-name "Ghost Writer", ''Blood Diamonds'' is very much [[DarkerAndEdgier intended for more mature audiences]]. Due to the sheer grimness of the series and the fact that most of the established cast beyond Daring herself rarely appear in favor of entirely new characters, the series is mostly underground, but managed to hold enough of a readership to stay going strong, despite its controversial content.

[[folder: Blood Diamonds]]
#'''Spoils of War:''' Daring Do discovers a large and unusual gemstone and donates it to a new museum collection. When it is stolen and she is recruited to retrive it again, she finds herself stumbling into a conspiracy to plunge the Holy Griffanic Empire and the Minotaur City-States into all-out war, with Equestria as the battlefield.

#'''Worship in Fear:''' While recovering from her last escapade, Daring learns of rumors of another Blood Diamond in the territories of one of the Three Pony Tribes. When she arrives at the frozen wasteland, she finds rements of the last bitter tribesponies still clinging to their land and their old prejudices. As her search continues, she must confront vicious tribalists, desperate caravan raiders, and an ancient cult that could hold the secrets of the true origins of Discord, the Sun and Moon Sisters, and Equestria itself, as well as the destruction of them all.
#'''Never Forgive Me:''' Miss Do finally tracks down another Blood Diamond, but the ones already in her possession have started affecting her psyche. When she learns that a group of grave robbers are heading towards the same burial mound as her, it's a race to keep the Diamond from falling into their hooves, and a struggle to keep herself from giving in to its magic.
#'''Demons Die:''' Horrified by what she did on her last venture, Daring devotes herself to finding a way to destroy the Diamonds, storing them in a remote cove for safety. After several fruitless efforts, she is forced to put her research on hold when she is informed of a new Blood Diamond in the possession of a rogue changling swarm.

As apart of the...stranger media, [[http://vjarmy.com/wiki/index.php/Takayuki_Ishikawa Taclopyuki Ishikawa]], electronic musician and noted Daring Do fan, has collaberated with [[Creator/MoiAnimation SoyAnimation]] and produced several songs with accompanying music videos about Daring Do's adventures. Despite the heavy dose of SoundtrackDissonance (all the songs are electronic, despite the universe taking place long before it even existed), reception has been positive. Praise has gone to the stellar animation, high-quaility music, and packing in so much action and emotion into a single video that it ''heavily'' averts ItsShortSoItSucks.

[[folder: Daring Do: The Tracks Less Traveled]]
* '''Daring Do and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O61T2u53vCU Illogical Dash]]''' : Daring Do attempts to escape a crumbling temple under the influence of [[MushroomSamba a trip-inducing mushroom she had eaten on the way in.]] Given the oddness of the song, combined with the downright strange visuals when Daring starts tripping, many viewers called it, "the best acid trip no one asked for".
* '''Daring Do and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rfkkfUnNNo Cyber Symphony]]''' : Daring Do attends a concert of a brilliant violinist, only to learn his music invades the mind and sends the listener into a dream world while the violinist makes off with their belongings. Daring fights her way back to reality, and prompty punches out the violinist, much to the rejoice of his past victims.
* '''Daring Do and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxIaqtTwaNw Quickening]]''' : Daring Do is trapped in a raging stormcloud during a flight, and must fight her way out of it, with the storm doing everything it can to take it down. This one won several awards for best use of MGI. With the sheer detail put into the cloud monsters, it was pretty much a given.
* '''Daring Do and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIRa-EBwbm0 Lonely Abyss]]''' : Daring Do is finally caught by a temple's trap, and she contemplates her own mortality and life choices, experiencing flash backs to all her past adventures. She is about to give up hope when Herpy arrives to free her. The two escape the temple, with Daring basking in the revalation that she is never alone.
* '''Daring Do and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZIuK0LFdjg Harsh Winter]]''' : Daring Do is forced to take in the realization that adventuring in in-the-middle-of-winter Germaneigh is extremely unpleasant. Despite the emotional music, this one is more [[LighterAndSofter humorous in tone]], most of it being silent slapstick.
* '''Daring Do and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPjcvv4tbSA Leading Cyber]]''' : An adaptation of a scene from ''Daring Do and the Breathing Weapons'' in which Daring fights the heavy-weapons griffon, Falke. No plot, just beautifully animated fight scenes on par with [[Anime/DragonBallZ Dragon Brawler X]].
* '''Daring Do and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrwCRq1uI-U Absolute]]''' : Daring Do visits a fortune teller who shows her quick glimpses into the events of her future, one of which is marrying her recently-employed collegue, Arzt. The music indicates this is supposed to be a happy future, but at the end, she scoffs at the thought, claiming she has control over her own future, not the Fortune Teller...right before sharing ice cream with Arzt.

* '''Daring Do and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xin9wO6Ig08 Iris Survivor]]''': Daring encounters a pony who was turned into stained glass by the Elements of Harmony over a thousand years ago, learning that the temple's treasure is the pony's glass heart.

Several authors were curious about some of Daren's adventures mentioned in the main series, so they opted to create their own takes on them.

[[folder: Daren Do Adventures]]
# '''Daren Do and the Hurricane's Spear''', by Northern Winds: Daren has always wanted to find the Platinum Crown in the hopes of finding whatever happened to his father, so he and his adventuring group try to track down famous artifacts from the other founders of Equestria in the hopes that they might provide clues to the Crown's whereabouts, starting with the Spear of Commander Hurricane.
# '''Daren Do and the Wrath of Zeb''', by Gizmo Raff: While Daren doing research on ancient Dream Valley, the very physics of light starts to change. And why is there an impossible zebra-minotaur blend running around?
# '''Daren Do and the Golem Army''', by Thistlewhistle Farrier: Daren Do, Winchester Tock, and Rodolphus Mareton get mixed up in the rise of a mechanical force.
# '''Daren Do and the Killers Above''', by Gizmo Raff: Daren Do races against time to stop a Raptorian invasion. Little does he know that he will face the most agonizing decisions of his life.

Shortly after the publication of ''Daring Do and the Universal Cracks'', author Muffin Parcels was granted permission by Polo House to rewrite and publish her three Zapapple Tock [[AlternateUniverseFic AU fics]], as these had inspired the chapters set in the alternate universe in which Daring was killed instead of Zapapple. Muffin Parcels has confirmed that if sales are successful, she will continue the series with wholly original stories.

[[folder: Zapapple Tock Adventures]]
# '''Zapapple Tock and the Sapphire Statue'''
# '''Zapapple Tock and the Night Wing Conspiracy'''
# '''Zapapple Tock and the Abominable Snowmen''' - this one was heavily revised from the original fanfic, to the point that it became a collaboration between Muffin Parcels and Bowtie Whooves.
# '''Zapapple Tock and the Wizard's Staff''' (Due out next Running of the Leaves)

There have been art books and collectible books dedicated to Daring Do under Polo House, Inc. High budget [[{{Broadway}} Bridleway]] stage adaptions have been made based on the first four books, starring Hairerion Trot in the title role. A fifth had been in DevelopmentHell for some time, as the Applewood film series (also starring Trot, though almost none of the other stage actors) started shortly after the closing of ''Wooden Mask'' and the filming schedule left Trot unavailable. The Bridleway series was revived last year with ''Alicorn's Shadow'', albeit with Shauna Flankery taking over the lead role.

[[folder: The Applewood Film Series currently consists of:]]

#'''Daring Do and the Sapphire Stone''': Directed by J.J. Thistle-Whistle, Screenplay by Minty Coral
#'''Daring Do and the Griffon's Goblet'''
#'''Daring Do and the Curse of the Yeti'''
#'''Daring Do and the Wooden Mask'''
#'''Daring Do and the Razor of Dreams'''
#'''Daring Do and the Platinum Crown'''
#'''Daring Do and the Gardens of Equestria'''
#'''Daring Do and the Shrine of the Silver Monkey'''

#'''Daring Do and the Alicorn's Shadow'''
#'''Daring Do and the Trident of the Seaponies''' (currently in production, due out next Summer Sun Celebration)
#'''Daring Do and the Trials of Unity''' (currently in pre-production)

Applewood also recently did a remastered rerelease of ''Sapphire Stone'', but excessive use of the magic effects budget as well as several other changes has given it mixed reviews. There have also been several radio plays done for each book in the canon series as well as numerous lesser stage adaptations.

The series has spawned a wide variety of video games, beginning with an arcade machine called ''Daring Do and the Bauble of Mystery'', released after ''Curse of the Yeti'' was published. It isn't very good and is not canon in the slightest, although it has produced a number of in-jokes and memes in the Daring Do fandom. A later trilogy of graphic adventures, all original stories, were released between the publication of ''Cove of Candles'' and ''Legacy of Nightmare Moon'', by [[Creator/{{Sierra}} Siyegua]]. These were notorious for several UnwinnableByDesign {{Guide Dang It}}s.

[[folder:Archeological Quest]]
# '''Archeological Quest''': Lightning Kicker is deathly ill and Herpy and Daring have to fetch the formula for the only cure from a Hayan temple.
# '''Archeological Quest II: The Witches of Gloom''': Daring is the only archeologist in a Dream Valley dig not to be kidnapped by Hydia.
# '''Archeological Quest III: The Labyrinth of Terror''': Daring Do visits a Minotaur temple.'''

More recently, [[Creator/TelltaleGames Telltail Games]] announced two seasons of four [[EpisodicGame Episodic Games]]. The first consisted of adaptations of books in the original canon: ''Sapphire Stone'', ''Wooden Mask'', ''Trident of the Seaponies'' (slightly re-written to be later in the timeline than the book was) and ''Ring of the Marengeti''. These were largely praised for their voice acting and writing, with a lot of AdaptationExpansion, but criticised for [[ItsEasySoItSucks unchallenging puzzles]]. Telltail have announced that they will work to correct this aspect in the second season, which will consist of original stories. The first announced title for Season 2 is ''[[VideoGame/IndianaJonesAndTheFateOfAtlantis Daring Do and the Fate of Atlatigo]]''. Another videogame company, PAL Laboratories, announced that they're working on a more action packed platformer called ''[[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Daring Do and the Great Cave Offensive]]'' which takes place on a completely separate continuity from the Telltail games and apparently the books as well.

[[Creator/{{Disney}} Colt Disneigh Studios]] has recently announced the production of two Daring Do animated features, one based on the leaked ''Children of Primus'', the other an entirely original story called ''Daring Do and the Monkey King''. Both features scripted by author [[Creator/TerryPratchett Terri Prancett]]. They are both scheduled for release at next Nightmare Night.

Following the release of 18th Core Series book, ''Ring of Destiny'', A.K. Yearling, for unknown reasons, made a statement, wondering what would have happened had [[spoiler: Daring and Rainbow failed to destroy the temple, and 800 years of unrelenting sweltering heat had ensued]]. Following this prospect, a group of authors struck a deal with Polo House, Inc. allowing them to write an [[AlternateTimeline Alternate Timeline]] stemming from that particular book.

[[folder:Fires of Equestria]]
# '''A Broken Rainbow''': Following an apparent timeline divergence at sometime during the core book ''Ring of Destiny'', Equestria is beginning to suffer under the unrelenting heat that Ahuizotl has brought forth. Rainbow Dash has lost faith in both herself and Daring and has dropped off the grid completely. If Daring is going to have any hope of undoing Ahuizotl's work, she's going to have to find Rainbow Dash and bring her to reason.
# '''The Infernal Spirit''': After discovering that Princess Celestia has fallen ill as a result of Ahuizotl's Sun Curse, Daring and Rainbow Dash travel to Canterlot to meet with the remaining princesses. It is there that Daring discovers something amazing that she really should have realised about Rainbow from the very beginning.
# '''Hands of the Below''': Daring and Rainbow's quest is put on hold as the deathly Sun Illness plaguing Princess Celestia begins to spread to others. They find themselves in a race against time to find a way to cure the illness.

In order to survive the constant attacks and assassination attempts, the two of them must make it back to Canterlot in one piece. But that's easier said than done when you have a bounty on your head...
# '''The Dictator's Wrath''': Following Celestia's illness induced attempt to murder them, Daring, Rainbow, and their few remaining allies find themselves on the run in a land of creatures that want them dead. But as Equestria continues it's descent into an insane wasteland of sand and sun, a new alliance is forged with the least likely of individuals.
* '''Daring Do - F.o.E. #6-9: NAMES TBA''': Confirmed to be in production, though no release dates have been announced as of yet.

After the success of the ''Breathing Weapons'' trilogy, and the ''Tracks Less Traveled'' music videos (notably, the overwhelming praise given to the videos' beautiful animation), Polo House collaborated [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunrise_(company) Summer Sun Animation]] to produce an {{Anime}} series entitled, ''Globetrotters''. The thirteen-episode series chronicles, "Daring's adventures in more civilized settings alongside Arzt, Eichelhäher, and a slew of new antagonists that'll make Daring wish she'd stuck to the jungle.". The series is a healthy blend of action and comedy, with a decent amount of CharacterDevelopment.

It was never confirmed whether or not the series is considered canon. As such, the series takes a few artistic liberties with the setting, like [[AnachronismStew modernizing the settings a bit]], giving it an [[DieselPunk almost dieselpunkish]] feel, and even throwing in a bit of {{SchizoTech}}, but character-wise, is completely faithful to the series' canon.

Despite the series' cancellation after it's first season, fan demand and a successful [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Website/Kickstarter Buckstarter]] campaign convinced the creators to give the series a proper finale with the movie, ''Globetrotters: Lunar Ferver''

Despite good reviews and high ratings, ''Globetrotters'' only lasted one season before Summer Sun lost the rights. The animated adventures of Daring Do would not end there however. [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/StudioBONES?from=Main.StudioBONES Studio Pones]] quickly bought up the rights and began work on a series of OVA episodes based off the original idea for the Breathing Weapons Trilogy. End to Order takes place forty years after the original canon. Daring Do has retired from adventuring and has taken up work for Celestia as the Chief of Canterlot's police force. When Canterlot comes under random attacks, Daring learns she must deal with The Rusted, a group of griffons who want to end pony rule by unleashing Discord unto the world.

Like ''Globetrotters'', a few liberties are taken with the canon. The only notable change here, however, is Daring having fought in the Greater Lands War in her youth.

The series is split up into four "arcs".

[[folder: End to Order]]

* '''Episodes 1-3''', ''Time and Time Again'': Daring Do, now retired from exploring tombs and jungles, is Canterlot's highest-ranked police investigator. When the pony colonies in griffon lands are suddenly wiped out by a group of griffon terrorists known as, "The Rusted", Daring immediately begins the investigation necessary to bring them to justice.
* '''Episodes 4-6''', ''We Must Be Just'': The Rusted reveal themselves to Equestria, announcing their plans to unleash Discord upon the world and end the rule of ponies once and for all. Daring attempts to take them on directly, but the battle is ''much'' more than she bargained for.
* '''Episodes 7-9''', ''Alabaster Feathers'': On a good-will mission to Eagleland, Celestia is attacked by the Rusted and has her feathers stolen, granting them the strength and powers of alicorns and ensuring their victory.
* '''Episodes 8-10''', ''Pandora Smiled'': Equestria has fallen into chaos at the hands of the Rusted. The only thing that stands between the ponies and total anihilation is Daring Do...

Despite never appearing again after the Breathing Weapons trilogy, the Greifvogel's popularity led to a slew of fan media starring them, one of which was a live-action short entitled, ''Birds of Prey''. It took place in an alternate continuity where Daring and Arzt lost their battle against the Greifvogel, and were subsequently assimilated by Krahe. The short proved so popular, [[ApprovalOfGod Polo House contacted the creators and signed them to do a 9-episode mini-series based off the short]]. The series is a blend of action and drama, with plenty of time dedicated to character development and exploring the backstories of the Greifvogel members.

While fan response was initially positive, the praise started to fade as the series continuously got [[CerberusSyndrome darker with each installment]]. The ending is almost unanimously agreed to be so [[DownerEnding gut-churningly depressing]] that many fans [[FanonDiscontinuity ignore the series outright]] and make their own Greifvogel fics (not that ''Birds of Prey'' was ever considered canon).

[[folder: Birds of Prey]]

# Takeoff: The Greifvogel break in their new members by siccing them on a newly created pony colony in Eagleland territory.
# Vanquish: Krahe decides to test his new recruits' loyalty by forcing them to fight his "perfect weapon", Taube.

Recently, an amateur writer named Cinnamon Swirl (known to most fans as [=FableMare000=]) struck up a deal with Polo House, Inc to write a series of ExpandedUniverse books centered around a potential future for the series -- specifically, the adventures of new character Darling Do, Daring's daughter. Though none of the three planned books have been released yet, the series has already ignited a number of [[ShipToShipCombat shipping wars]] based around the identity of Darling's father (which Cinnamon Swirl admits [[{{Troll}} was her entire motivation for writing the series in the first place.]])

The three books announced are as follows:

[[folder: The Darling Do series]]

# [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull Darling Do and the Crystal Skull]]: Darling Do, daughter of the famed Daring Do, tries to obtain a powerful artifact before an ancient colt can do so first. (Set to be released next Summer Sun Celebration.)
# Darling Do and [[Disney/{{Moana}} the Heart of Te Filly]]: Now armed with clues as to where her missing father is located, Darling goes on an ocean voyage to find a stone said to be able to create islands. But an old foe of her mother's has other plans...(Set to be released next Nightmare Night.)
# Darling Do and the Umbra Colt: Landing in the Crystal Empire, Darling may finally be able to find her father. That is, if the colt that's been following her around is stopped before they resurrect King Sombra. (No set release date as of now.)

[[/folder]]

During the run up to April Foals day it's almost become a tradition for the authors involved with Daring Do, and even some that aren't, to create fake upcoming books or fake details about real upcoming books, which often become in jokes among the community.

[[folder:April Foals Books.]]

* '''[[https://derpibooru.org/491915 Daring Do: A Soiree of Stabbings]]''' by [[Creator/GeorgeRRMartin George R.R. Mareton]]: Maharaja invites Daring Do and Short Stuff to dinner, planning for it be Daring's last. Due to mixed reactions towards excerpts read during Ponyville Comic Con, the book has been cancelled....until it was revealed to have been an April Foals gag and was never coming out in the first place.
[[/folder]]

It's not a surprise that these widely-loved books have made their way to the stage as well. Here are some of the best-known stage shows.

[[folder:Stage Shows]]

* '''[[Theatre/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet Sweeney Trot]]''': The surprisingly popular villains Sweeney Trot and Mrs. Hoovett got their own musical, focusing solely on their plotline from ''Staff of Star Swirl'', adding a new villain, Judge Clopin (mainly [[ALighterShadeOfBlack so audience wouldn't feel too guilty for rooting for Sweeney]]), a new hero, Anthony Hopewing, and giving Sweeney's daughter Linnet more depth. The clever, complicated lyrics are ''legendary''. Good luck memorizing them all.
* '''[[Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical A Very Daring Musical]]''': A group of Chickcago-based college students made this musical, about the most affectionate an AffectionateParody can be. Combining the plots of all sixteen Yearling books, plus throwing in some references to short stories, movies, and non-canon books, this musical spoofs the series, giving new and unique spins to characters, to the point where they could almost be considered OC's. If you haven't read all sixteen books, you'll understand maybe half the plot and almost none of the jokes, but if you have, it's gut-bustingly funny. Even the actors in the Applewood movie series are fans!

[[caption-width-right:350:Ms. Do on a slow day.]]

->''"Another day, another dungeon!"''
-->-- '''Daring Do'''

Meet Ms. Daring Do, the strong and clever head of the Royal Canterlot University Department of Equinology. She has made it her mission in life to learn everything she can about the long lost civilizations of the world, by hunting down their treasures, great and small, and preserving them back at the Canterlot University. But unfortunately for her the mysterious Ahuizotl is out to get them first for aims that aren't clear to anyone, least of all Ms. Do herself...

'''''The Adventures of Daring Do''''' is a series of Adventure/Action/Fantasy novels written by [[Creator/JKRowling A.K. Yearling]], published by Polo House, Inc. in Canterlot. The series is written in a AnachronicOrder, starting close to the beginning of Do's adventuring career, and then skipping around the various missions and adventures, with little to no explanation. Bits and pieces of Do's backstory have been revealed but nothing concrete; there also appears to be a MythArc, but written out of order.

The manuscript of the first published book, ''Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone,'' was found by acclaimed Editor and Literary agent Hard Cover in the desk drawer of A.K. Yearling, who at the time was working at the Canterlot Royal Library. Apparently Yearling had written the story just for herself and her family, but some coaxing from Cover convinced her to have it published, with some minor edits. She has since published seventeen more, with an unknown amount planned for the future. When asked about the strange order of release, Yearling has famously responded with, "I write them as they come to me."

The "Core Series," (which currently number eighteen) make up a loose canon, also commonly dubbed, "The Yearling Canon"; though numerous ExpandedUniverse/Spinoffs exist, many fans refuse to accept them as canon. This is especially true after a long hiatus, Yearling started a new book and the publishers officially declared the expanded universe a completely separate continuity. Unlike the [[Creator/{{Disney}} Disneigh]] reboot of the [[Franchise/StarWars Star Horse]] franchise, she does not allow anypony else to work with her on her writings, so the current ExpandedUniverse is considered a parallel universe and will continue on in its own continuity. The stories have quickly become one of the most well-known classics in modern Equestrian literature, and are popular with grade-school pony classes. There's a large adult fanbase as well; [[OneOfUs Princess Celestia]] herself has even praised the series.

Yearling herself has been an infamously reclusive pony, going out of her way to avoid the fame and popularity that her books have earned her. In the beginning of her career she even tried to remain anonymous, which led to her unofficial nickname of [[StevenUlyssesPerhero T. Ropers]] by her publisher, Polo House, because the manuscripts she turned in were bound in [[LineOfSightName teal-colored rope]]. Described as a meek and mild-mannered pony by those who have met her, she can be recognized by the large hat and blanket that she wears due to her sensitivity to sudden temperature changes, and the large pair of glasses that she has to wear thanks to severe near-sightedness. Some have theorized that Daring Do is A.K. Yearling's secret fantasy, living the life that the author herself wishes she had. The fact that Daring Do's coloration on the covers closely resembles that of her author gives some credence to this theory.

One critic jokingly suggested that A.K. Yearling ''is'' Daring Do, who writes up her own adventures as works of fiction so nopony will be tempted to go after the dangerous secrets and relics that she does in every book. His fellow academics had a good laugh at that bit of absurdity. Curiously, the Daring Do franchise isn't published in southern Equestria, whose press often reports on various incidents attributed to her as if she were a real pony. Other strange theories have popped up, with some suggesting that the books are a "fail-safe" of sorts, so that if Daring Do ever failed in an adventure she'd have an entire fandom who knows how she defeated her enemies before.

Due to the insatiable demand for new Daring Do works overtaking the amount actually produced by the author, whose erratic schedule sometimes has a year or more between books, Yearling worked out a deal with Polo House that allows other authors to publish novels starring her creation, while Yearling gets to keep the rights and gets a share of the profits. However, to insulate Polo House from potential backlash (especially if the ExpandedUniverse violates the continuity by the author herself), the Daring Do ExpandedUniverse exists separately from the main series [[StationsOfTheCanon (using it as the starting point)]], and even from each other (though there are various "continuity families"). However, thanks to an increasing number of collaborative works, the ExpandedUniverse is becoming increasingly more connected.

Please note: to avoid any Canternet Backlash [[SeriousBusiness regarding Mahavir/Mahiavar's name]] in these descriptions, we will be using the spelling that corresponds to the earliest appearance of the name in the first print of the relevant book. This is to help avoid confusion like in ''Scepter Of The Chaos Beast'' where his name alternates almost every time it appears and even between print runs[[note]]The author assures us this is intentional[[/note]]. THIS IS FINAL!!!

[[folder: The Polo House New Adventures line contains the following titles]]

Thunderlane Hurricane Jr.: Daring and her friends must team up to stop the unleashing of the most horrible monster Equestria has ever faced: Krastos The Gluemaker.

The ending is considered a MindScrew by many due to Daring Do meeting alternate versions of herself and ending on [[ComicBook/AnimalMan a conversation with Mareson on the state of fiction written about her and her friends and ending on an ambiguous note questioning whether or not it was all just a dream.]] [[ViewersAreGeniuses It is considered to be the worst of the Daring Do spin offs by its fans due to it being too confusing]] and [[ComicBook/FinalCrisis the ending that requires the reader to know the entire history of the character and the stories that inspired the writer to write the character]] when, in fact, most reviewers of the book actually say that is not true due to the majority of the themes being universal and the references made at the end are just in passing and more akin to to easter eggs for the fans. [[ComicBook/NewXMen Haters of the series loving it because it does something new with the ''Daring Do'' formula despite using many of the tropes they are known to hate from the series]]. [[Creator/AlanMoore Ironically, it is the only New Adventures book the original author of the series vocally likes (rather than merely tolerates) due to it not ripping any of her stories off.]]

But is there more going on than first assumed?

But he secretly wants to use Rex to break into the eponymous Vaults of Celestia to gain access to the treasures within. Can Daring stop the irrational and revenge-driven Rex and the schemes of Ahuizotl? Notable for having a significant portion done from Ahuizotl's perspective, and for the scandal that broke out when a significant amount of the climactic showdown was leaked by a disgruntled Polo House employee (thankfully, the ending still has its share of twists).

There are several [[MythologyGag nods]] [[CallBack to other short stories and expanded universe]] material. Although one does have to wonder how dead villains are there, and why [[CrackShip Swinn and Mareton]] are apparently back together for some reason, it's generally considered to be one gem of a story.
* ''The Body in Margaritopolis'', by [[Creator/AgathaChristie Agatha Whinny]]: Daring finds the still-decaying body of a pegasus stallion in a Dream Valley dig. Technically a novella, rather than a short story.

It focuses on her first archaeology expedition, during which she first met Daren Do, her future husband. While this story was very well-received by fans, winning the Derring Do Daily Best Short Story competition, it was, entirely coincidentally, partially [[{{Jossed}} Hossed]] by the release of ''Daring Do and the Fires of Family'' soon after, which established Daring's mother's name as Daria.

For a short time, there was a comic book series by [[Creator/MarvelComics Mareval]] about the hero, but it was critically panned and only lasted ten issues. More recently, a run of Daring Do issues were greenlit by [[Creator/DarkHorseComics Darkpony Comics]] and a team of enterprising young ponies, who shall remain nameless, were able to get their hooves on large amounts of conceptual material and press releases. A DC representative could not be reached for comment. The fandom is unsure what to make of some of the ideas they have seen thus far; one half is interested in seeing Daring Do adapted to a new medium while the other is concerned that the character may change from an [[AdventurerArchaeologist Adventurer Equinologist]] to [[Franchise/{{Superman}} some kind of alien superpony who was sent away from her dying homeworld as a foal]].

[[folder: Daring Do Comics and Graphic Novels - Darkpony Comics series]]
* '''Daring Do vs. The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well''': A one-shot that is more or less exactly what it sounds like. Daring Do crosses paths ([[LetsYouAndHimFight and swords]]) with everyone's favorite costumed vigilante as they both pursue the international super criminal Ahuizotl.
* '''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E6PowerPonies Power Ponies]] #406-409''': A trilogy of issues in the ''Power Ponies'' series where Daring teams up with the titular costumed heroes to stop an alliance between Ahuizotl and the Mane-iac. A second crossover has been announced to be in the works, where apparently, Daring and Zapp will [[SwappedRoles swap places]] for a day.
* '''[[Series/{{Hannibal}} Hannibull]] #111-112''': A rather surprising crossover with the recent [[Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs Hannibull Knacker]] franchise, in which Daring and Storm Talon, the latter of whom is apparently a cousin of ''Hannibull'' 's Jack Clawford, aid in the investigation of a murder at the University. Received some controversy from fans of both series: from ''Daring Do'' fans for crossing over with such a typically violent series, and fans of ''Hannibull'' for "dumbing down" the typically very graphic series for those two volumes, to make the series more palatable for ''Daring Do'' 's younger fanbase.

There were also several comics in the weekly [[Magazine/DisneyAdventures Disneigh Adventures]] magazine under the name "Diamond Daring", featuring Daring being turned into a Diamond Dog by Ahuizotl and her quest to become a pony again. The series is purely comedy, with rarely any drama. Despite being written with an extreme dose of LighterAndSofter, the comics are praised for their witty writing and [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar subtle adult humor]]. Several readers have billed them as, "the {{WesternAnimation/Animaniacs}} of Daring Do comics, and it's been rumored that A. K. Yearling prefers these stories out off all the other alternate continuities. There are a total of four arcs at the moment, but the writers for Disneigh Adventures have confirmed there will be more in the future.

[[folder: Disneigh Adventures' Diamond Daring Comic]]
# '''Diamond Daring: The Aristocratastrophe''' : Daring meets a powerful unicorn who claims she will turn her back to a pony, but only if she helps save her failing circus act.
# '''Diamond Daring: Bad Dog, No Buscuits''' : Daring is kidnapped by a Diamond Dog slave trader who plans to use her for a terrible Broadway Musical.

As apart of the...stranger media, [[http://vjarmy.com/wiki/index.php/Takayuki_Ishikawa Taclopyuki Ishikawa]], electronic musician and noted Daring Do fan, has collaberated with [[Creator/MoiAnimation SoyAnimation]] and produced several songs with accompanying music videos about Daring Do's adventures. Despite the heavy dose of SoundtrackDissonance (all the songs are electronic, despite the universe taking place long before it even existed), reception has been positive. Praise has gone to the stellar animation, high-quaility music, and packing in so much action and emotion into a single video that it ''heavily'' averts ItsShortSoItSucks.

[[folder: Daring Do: The Tracks Less Traveled]]
* '''Daring Do and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O61T2u53vCU Illogical Dash]]''' : Daring Do attempts to escape a crumbling temple under the influence of [[MushroomSamba a trip-inducing mushroom she had eaten on the way in.]] Given the oddness of the song, combined with the downright strange visuals when Daring starts tripping, many viewers called it, "the best acid trip no one asked for".
* '''Daring Do and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rfkkfUnNNo Cyber Symphony]]''' : Daring Do attends a concert of a brilliant violinist, only to learn his music invades the mind and sends the listener into a dream world while the violinist makes off with their belongings. Daring fights her way back to reality, and prompty punches out the violinist, much to the rejoice of his past victims.
* '''Daring Do and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxIaqtTwaNw Quickening]]''' : Daring Do is trapped in a raging stormcloud during a flight, and must fight her way out of it, with the storm doing everything it can to take it down. This one won several awards for best use of MGI. With the sheer detail put into the cloud monsters, it was pretty much a given.
* '''Daring Do and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIRa-EBwbm0 Lonely Abyss]]''' : Daring Do is finally caught by a temple's trap, and she contemplates her own mortality and life choices, experiencing flash backs to all her past adventures. She is about to give up hope when Herpy arrives to free her. The two escape the temple, with Daring basking in the revalation that she is never alone.
* '''Daring Do and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZIuK0LFdjg Harsh Winter]]''' : Daring Do is forced to take in the realization that adventuring in in-the-middle-of-winter Germaneigh is extremely unpleasant. Despite the emotional music, this one is more [[LighterAndSofter humorous in tone]], most of it being silent slapstick.
* '''Daring Do and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPjcvv4tbSA Leading Cyber]]''' : An adaptation of a scene from ''Daring Do and the Breathing Weapons'' in which Daring fights the heavy-weapons griffon, Falke. No plot, just beautifully animated fight scenes on par with [[Anime/DragonBallZ Dragon Brawler X]].
* '''Daring Do and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrwCRq1uI-U Absolute]]''' : Daring Do visits a fortune teller who shows her quick glimpses into the events of her future, one of which is marrying her recently-employed collegue, Arzt. The music indicates this is supposed to be a happy future, but at the end, she scoffs at the thought, claiming she has control over her own future, not the Fortune Teller...right before sharing ice cream with Arzt.
** This video lead to a ''huge'' shipping war at the [[Characters/DerpibooruCommunity Darebooru]] forums.
* '''Daring Do and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWBaBwub4CY Unstressful Sky]]''' : Daring Do gets locked up in her reasearch, quicky becoming overstressed and nearly suffering a breakdown. Arzt takes her out for a flight around the University, and she is quickly cured.
* '''Daring Do and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xin9wO6Ig08 Iris Survivor]]''': Daring encounters a pony who was turned into stained glass by the Elements of Harmony over a thousand years ago, learning that the temple's treasure is the pony's glass heart.

Several authors were curious about some of Daren's adventures mentioned in the main series, so they opted to create their own takes on them.

[[folder: Daren Do Adventures]]
# '''Daren Do and the Hurricane's Spear''', by Northern Winds: Daren has always wanted to find the Platinum Crown in the hopes of finding whatever happened to his father, so he and his adventuring group try to track down famous artifacts from the other founders of Equestria in the hopes that they might provide clues to the Crown's whereabouts, starting with the Spear of Commander Hurricane.

[[/folder]]

Shortly after the publication of ''Daring Do and the Universal Cracks'', author Muffin Parcels was granted permission by Polo House to rewrite and publish her three Zapapple Tock [[AlternateUniverseFic AU fics]], as these had inspired the chapters set in the alternate universe in which Daring was killed instead of Zapapple. Muffin Parcels has confirmed that if sales are successful, she will continue the series with wholly original stories.

[[folder: Zapapple Tock Adventures]]
# '''Zapapple Tock and the Sapphire Statue'''
# '''Zapapple Tock and the Night Wing Conspiracy'''
# '''Zapapple Tock and the Abominable Snowmen''' - this one was heavily revised from the original fanfic, to the point that it became a collaboration between Muffin Parcels and Bowtie Whooves.
# '''Zapapple Tock and the Wizard's Staff''' (Due out next Running of the Leaves)
[[/folder]]

There have been art books and collectible books dedicated to Daring Do under Polo House, Inc. High budget [[{{Broadway}} Bridleway]] stage adaptions have been made based on the first four books, starring Hairerion Trot in the title role. A fifth had been in DevelopmentHell for some time, as the Applewood film series (also starring Trot, though almost none of the other stage actors) started shortly after the closing of ''Wooden Mask'' and the filming schedule left Trot unavailable. The Bridleway series was revived last year with ''Alicorn's Shadow'', albeit with Shauna Flankery taking over the lead role.

[[folder: The Applewood Film Series currently consists of:]]

#'''Daring Do and the Sapphire Stone''': Directed by J.J. Thistle-Whistle, Screenplay by Minty Coral
#'''Daring Do and the Griffon's Goblet'''

#'''Daring Do and the Trials of Unity''' (currently in pre-production)

Applewood also recently did a remastered rerelease of ''Sapphire Stone'', but excessive use of the magic effects budget as well as several other changes has given it mixed reviews. There have also been several radio plays done for each book in the canon series as well as numerous lesser stage adaptations.

The series has spawned a wide variety of video games, beginning with an arcade machine called ''Daring Do and the Bauble of Mystery'', released after ''Curse of the Yeti'' was published. It isn't very good and is not canon in the slightest, although it has produced a number of in-jokes and memes in the Daring Do fandom. A later trilogy of graphic adventures, all original stories, were released between the publication of ''Cove of Candles'' and ''Legacy of Nightmare Moon'', by [[Creator/{{Sierra}} Siyegua]]. These were notorious for several UnwinnableByDesign {{Guide Dang It}}s.

[[folder:Archeological Quest]]
# '''Archeological Quest''': Lightning Kicker is deathly ill and Herpy and Daring have to fetch the formula for the only cure from a Hayan temple.
# '''Archeological Quest II: The Witches of Gloom''': Daring is the only archeologist in a Dream Valley dig not to be kidnapped by Hydia.
# '''Archeological Quest III: The Labyrinth of Terror''': Daring Do visits a Minotaur temple.'''

More recently, [[Creator/TelltaleGames Telltail Games]] announced two seasons of four [[EpisodicGame Episodic Games]]. The first consisted of adaptations of books in the original canon: ''Sapphire Stone'', ''Wooden Mask'', ''Trident of the Seaponies'' (slightly re-written to be later in the timeline than the book was) and ''Ring of the Marengeti''. These were largely praised for their voice acting and writing, with a lot of AdaptationExpansion, but criticised for [[ItsEasySoItSucks unchallenging puzzles]]. Telltail have announced that they will work to correct this aspect in the second season, which will consist of original stories. The first announced title for Season 2 is ''[[VideoGame/IndianaJonesAndTheFateOfAtlantis Daring Do and the Fate of Atlatigo]]''. Another videogame company, PAL Laboratories, announced that they're working on a more action packed platformer called ''[[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Daring Do and the Great Cave Offensive]]'' which takes place on a completely separate continuity from the Telltail games and apparently the books as well.

[[Creator/{{Disney}} Colt Disneigh Studios]] has recently announced the production of two Daring Do animated features, one based on the leaked ''Children of Primus'', the other an entirely original story called ''Daring Do and the Monkey King''. Both features scripted by author [[Creator/TerryPratchett Terri Prancett]]. They are both scheduled for release at next Nightmare Night.

The [[GreatOffscreenWar Third Griffon-Diamond Dog War]] is heavily alluded to in many of the works. This prequel proceeds to give insight into the assorted adventures of the veterans of this conflict. It is divided into several sections.

Following the release of 18th Core Series book, ''Ring of Destiny'', A.K. Yearling, for unknown reasons, made a statement, wondering what would have happened had [[spoiler: Daring and Rainbow failed to destroy the temple, and 800 years of unrelenting sweltering heat had ensued]]. Following this prospect, a group of authors struck a deal with Polo House, Inc. allowing them to write an [[AlternateTimeline Alternate Timeline]] stemming from that particular book.

[[folder:Fires of Equestria]]
# '''A Broken Rainbow''': Following an apparent timeline divergence at sometime during the core book ''Ring of Destiny'', Equestria is beginning to suffer under the unrelenting heat that Ahuizotl has brought forth. Rainbow Dash has lost faith in both herself and Daring and has dropped off the grid completely. If Daring is going to have any hope of undoing Ahuizotl's work, she's going to have to find Rainbow Dash and bring her to reason.
# '''The Infernal Spirit''': After discovering that Princess Celestia has fallen ill as a result of Ahuizotl's Sun Curse, Daring and Rainbow Dash travel to Canterlot to meet with the remaining princesses. It is there that Daring discovers something amazing that she really should have realised about Rainbow from the very beginning.
# '''Hands of the Below''': Daring and Rainbow's quest is put on hold as the deathly Sun Illness plaguing Princess Celestia begins to spread to others. They find themselves in a race against time to find a way to cure the illness.

But that's easier said than done when you have a bounty on your head...
# '''The Dictator's Wrath''': Following Celestia's illness induced attempt to murder them, Daring, Rainbow, and their few remaining allies find themselves on the run in a land of creatures that want them dead. But as Equestria continues it's descent into an insane wasteland of sand and sun, a new alliance is forged with the least likely of individuals.
* '''Daring Do - F.o.E. #6-9: NAMES TBA''': Confirmed to be in production, though no release dates have been announced as of yet.

After the success of the ''Breathing Weapons'' trilogy, and the ''Tracks Less Traveled'' music videos (notably, the overwhelming praise given to the videos' beautiful animation), Polo House collaborated [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunrise_(company) Summer Sun Animation]] to produce an {{Anime}} series entitled, ''Globetrotters''. The thirteen-episode series chronicles, "Daring's adventures in more civilized settings alongside Arzt, Eichelhäher, and a slew of new antagonists that'll make Daring wish she'd stuck to the jungle.". The series is a healthy blend of action and comedy, with a decent amount of CharacterDevelopment.

It was never confirmed whether or not the series is considered canon. As such, the series takes a few artistic liberties with the setting, like [[AnachronismStew modernizing the settings a bit]], giving it an [[DieselPunk almost dieselpunkish]] feel, and even throwing in a bit of {{SchizoTech}}, but character-wise, is completely faithful to the series' canon.

Despite the series' cancellation after it's first season, fan demand and a successful [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Website/Kickstarter Buckstarter]] campaign convinced the creators to give the series a proper finale with the movie, ''Globetrotters: Lunar Ferver''

[[folder: ''Globetrotters'' Episodes:]]

Despite good reviews and high ratings, ''Globetrotters'' only lasted one season before Summer Sun lost the rights. The animated adventures of Daring Do would not end there however. [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/StudioBONES?from=Main.StudioBONES Studio Pones]] quickly bought up the rights and began work on a series of OVA episodes based off the original idea for the Breathing Weapons Trilogy. End to Order takes place forty years after the original canon. Daring Do has retired from adventuring and has taken up work for Celestia as the Chief of Canterlot's police force. When Canterlot comes under random attacks, Daring learns she must deal with The Rusted, a group of griffons who want to end pony rule by unleashing Discord unto the world.

Like ''Globetrotters'', a few liberties are taken with the canon. The only notable change here, however, is Daring having fought in the Greater Lands War in her youth.

The series is split up into four "arcs".

[[folder: End to Order]]

Despite never appearing again after the Breathing Weapons trilogy, the Greifvogel's popularity led to a slew of fan media starring them, one of which was a live-action short entitled, ''Birds of Prey''. It took place in an alternate continuity where Daring and Arzt lost their battle against the Greifvogel, and were subsequently assimilated by Krahe. The short proved so popular, [[ApprovalOfGod Polo House contacted the creators and signed them to do a 9-episode mini-series based off the short]]. The series is a blend of action and drama, with plenty of time dedicated to character development and exploring the backstories of the Greifvogel members.

While fan response was initially positive, the praise started to fade as the series continuously got [[CerberusSyndrome darker with each installment]]. The ending is almost unanimously agreed to be so [[DownerEnding gut-churningly depressing]] that many fans [[FanonDiscontinuity ignore the series outright]] and make their own Greifvogel fics (not that ''Birds of Prey'' was ever considered canon).

[[folder: Birds of Prey]]

# Takeoff: The Greifvogel break in their new members by siccing them on a newly created pony colony in Eagleland territory.

Recently, an amateur writer named Cinnamon Swirl (known to most fans as [=FableMare000=]) struck up a deal with Polo House, Inc to write a series of ExpandedUniverse books centered around a potential future for the series -- specifically, the adventures of new character Darling Do, Daring's daughter. Though none of the three planned books have been released yet, the series has already ignited a number of [[ShipToShipCombat shipping wars]] based around the identity of Darling's father (which Cinnamon Swirl admits [[{{Troll}} was her entire motivation for writing the series in the first place.]])

The three books announced are as follows:

[[folder: The Darling Do series]]

# [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull Darling Do and the Crystal Skull]]: Darling Do, daughter of the famed Daring Do, tries to obtain a powerful artifact before an ancient colt can do so first. (Set to be released next Summer Sun Celebration.)
# Darling Do and [[Disney/{{Moana}} the Heart of Te Filly]]: Now armed with clues as to where her missing father is located, Darling goes on an ocean voyage to find a stone said to be able to create islands. But an old foe of her mother's has other plans...(Set to be released next Nightmare Night.)
# Darling Do and the Umbra Colt: Landing in the Crystal Empire, Darling may finally be able to find her father. That is, if the colt that's been following her around is stopped before they resurrect King Sombra. (No set release date as of now.)

During the run up to April Foals day it's almost become a tradition for the authors involved with Daring Do, and even some that aren't, to create fake upcoming books or fake details about real upcoming books, which often become in jokes among the community.

[[folder:April Foals Books.]]

* '''[[https://derpibooru.org/491915 Daring Do: A Soiree of Stabbings]]''' by [[Creator/GeorgeRRMartin George R.R. Mareton]]: Maharaja invites Daring Do and Short Stuff to dinner, planning for it be Daring's last. Due to mixed reactions towards excerpts read during Ponyville Comic Con, the book has been cancelled....until it was revealed to have been an April Foals gag and was never coming out in the first place.

It's not a surprise that these widely-loved books have made their way to the stage as well. Here are some of the best-known stage shows.

[[folder:Stage Shows]]

* '''[[Theatre/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet Sweeney Trot]]''': The surprisingly popular villains Sweeney Trot and Mrs. Hoovett got their own musical, focusing solely on their plotline from ''Staff of Star Swirl'', adding a new villain, Judge Clopin (mainly [[ALighterShadeOfBlack so audience wouldn't feel too guilty for rooting for Sweeney]]), a new hero, Anthony Hopewing, and giving Sweeney's daughter Linnet more depth. The clever, complicated lyrics are ''legendary''. Good luck memorizing them all.
* '''[[Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical A Very Daring Musical]]''': A group of Chickcago-based college students made this musical, about the most affectionate an AffectionateParody can be. Combining the plots of all sixteen Yearling books, plus throwing in some references to short stories, movies, and non-canon books, this musical spoofs the series, giving new and unique spins to characters, to the point where they could almost be considered OC's. If you haven't read all sixteen books, you'll understand maybe half the plot and almost none of the jokes, but if you have, it's gut-bustingly funny. Even the actors in the Applewood movie series are fans!

Also, there's [[DrinkingGame/DaringDo a drinking game now.]] Try at your own risk.

For more information on this classic series of Equestrian literature, [[labelnote:click here.]]This title is not real and is actually a page for fun, inspired by a ShowWithinAShow book introduced in the episode "Read It And Weep" from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. Add whatever you like so long as it fits into at least the first book of the series (from the episode), and make sure it fits in the genre. Keep in mind also that the readers in the world of Equestria, and possibly the author, are ponies, and edit your entries accordingly. Tropers have decided to STICK WITH THE 18-VOLUME MAXIMUM NUMBER OF VOLUMES FOR THE CANON STORY, since there were 16 books on the shelf Twilight got it from along with the canon titles provided in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E4DaringDont Daring Don't]], and adding more and more volumes would make this page too long and confuse new tropers. Tropers can add ExpandedUniverse material with a bit more leniency, as long as they clearly identify such additions as ExpandedUniverse titles. Please remember that Daring Do ExpandedUniverse works are not mandated to be consistent with each other (similar to the Franchise/StarTrekExpandedUniverse).

#'''Daring Do and the Children of Primus:''' Daring stumbles upon an ancient ship, filled with [[Main/TheTransformers mysterious statues of strange beings.]] But are there more to these statues than what meets the eye? [[note]]Curiously enough though, this book was never officially released for reasons unknown, but a rough draft was leaked to the public.[[/note]]

One critic jokingly suggested that A.K. Yearling ''is'' Daring Do, who writes up her own adventures as works of fiction so nopony will be tempted to go after the dangerous secrets and relics that she does in every book. His fellow academics had a good laugh at that bit of absurdity. Curiously, the Daring Do franchise isn't published in southern Equestria, whose press often reports on various incidents attributed to her as if she were a real pony.

The manuscript of the first published book ''Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone'' was found by acclaimed Editor and Literary agent Hard Cover in the desk drawer of A.K. Yearling, who at the time was working at the Canterlot Royal Library. Apparently Yearling had written the story just for herself and her family, but some coaxing from Cover convinced her to have it published, with some minor edits. She has since published seventeen more, with an unknown amount planned for the future. When asked about the strange order of release, Yearling has famously responded with, "I write them as they come to me."

* ''[[TheMonkeysPaw Daring Do and the Antelope's Hoof]]'', by Medley [=McLargehooves=]: Herpy finds an enchanted [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin antelope's hoof]] that grants whatever you ask--except [[JackassGenie there's always a horrible catch]].

As apart of the...stranger media, [[http://vjarmy.com/wiki/index.php/Takayuki_Ishikawa Taclopyuki Ishikawa]], electronic musician and noted Daring Do fan, has collaberated with [[MoiAnimation SoyAnimation]] and produced several songs with accompanying music videos about Daring Do's adventures. Despite the heavy dose of SoundtrackDissonance (all the songs are electronic, despite the universe taking place long before it even existed), reception has been positive. Praise has gone to the stellar animation, high-quaility music, and packing in so much action and emotion into a single video that it ''heavily'' averts ItsShortSoItSucks.

#'''Daring Do and the Spear of the Windigos'''[[note]]Chronologically, it's the first in the series, but it's here in the publication order[[/note]]''':''' Newly appointed member of the Royal Canterlot University Department of Equinology is sent on her first field assignment to excavate an old unicorn castle that may have ties to her long lost parents. As the sweet and mild bookworm fumbles her way through her first dangers, she may get more than she bargained for...

* '''Daring Do and the Sins of the Father''' (Due out Nightmare Night), by Lawrence T. Change: Life goes on at the university and for Daring Do, quite uneventfully so in fact. Classes and lectures with the only opponent to overcome being something so mundane as the common cold. Alas, things are never so simple. A foe of Daren's, long since thought defeated, returns willing to get their revenge by proxy. Can Daring get rid of the enemy her father apparently could not?
* '''Daring Do and the Marked Thief of Marapore''' (Due out Nightmare Night), by G.M. Berrow: After returning from a previous adventure, Daring Do finds a mysterious stranger at her house asking her to help the ponies of Marapore before leaving behind an encyclopedia (a rare one missing from Daring Do's personal collection). She quickly realizes that the Flankara Relics, three powerful artifacts that protect the Tricorner Villages from the volcano of Mt. Vehoovius has been stolen. With the volcano set to erupt in a few days, can Daring Do capture the thief and retrieve the artifacts before it's too late?
* '''The Changing Times Pentalogy''', by Lawrence T. Change:
** '''Daring Do and the Mysterious Town''' (Due out Hearths Warming Eve): Whilst Daring Do searches for information in Fillydelphia, she discovers Dragontown, a community of dragons within Fillydelphia that's apparently been there for as long as ponies can remember. The problem? It wasn't there when Daring went to sleep last night, which is an issue because her companions clearly remember asking around with Daring there earlier. Is there something wrong with Daring, or is there something wrong with the world?
** '''Daring Do and the Wonderous Witchweed''': Daring searches for the location of Queen Catrina knowing only that she went in search for a more potent strain of the substance Witchweed and evidence connecting Witchweed to the fiasco in Dragontown. On this journey she will encounter a giant cat, a Raptorian that can turn into objects and a connection to old, yet entirely unexpected, adversaries. But will she be able to deal with that when she might be in the most danger from the one she's trying to save?
** '''Daring Do and the City of Anarchy''': Fresh off the evidence of Night Wing involvement, Daring tracks the trail of Witchweed to a particular chapter of the organization set up in a city where the populace are glad that the system has collapsed and where the Night Wings are seen like Robin Hoof. Daring thus sets out only with Arzt, Eichelhäher and Storm, all griffons that can act like the system wronged them and begins her attempt to find the dangerous Witchweed powered artifact: The Witch Tear. But can she manage to do so when putting a hoof wrong regarding the Night Wings will turn an entire city against her?
** '''Daring Do and the Never-Ending Nightmare''': After finally dealing with the Witchweed/Night Wing/Reality Warping Witch Tear Artifact situation Daring thinks that she might be owed a good rest. Unfortunately the artifacts random reality warp from the final wish it grant, has created a creature that traps sleepers in their dreams and turns them into nightmares. Whilst there is no danger of death within the dream world, it plans to amass enough energy to merge it and reality giving it unlimited power and the ability to kill. But Daring has an ally in this fight: Princess Luna. Together they must chase the creature through the dreams of those Daring knows before it's too late.

#'''Swimming in Red:''' Daring Do is frustrated in her failure to find the final Blood Diamond. When she makes a discovery that could lead to the destruction of her Diamonds, they are located and stolen. A last frantic search begins, and Daring Do must find the owner of the Blood Diamonds and destroy soon, or watch as the horror of The Blood is finally unlocked and set loose on the world.

#'''Never Forgive Me:''' Miss Do finally tracks down another Blood Diamond, but the ones already in her possession have started affecting her psyche. When she learns that a group of grave robbers are heading towards the same burial mound as her, it's a race to keep the Diamond from falling into their hooves, and a struggle to keep herself from giving to its magic.

More recently, [[Creator/TelltaleGames Telltail Games]] announced two seasons of four [[EpisodicGame Episodic Games]]. The first consisted of adaptations of books in the original canon: ''Sapphire Stone'', ''Wooden Mask'', ''Trident of the Seaponies'' (slightly re-written to be later in the timeline than the book was) and ''Ring of the Marengeti''. These were largely praised for their voice acting and writing, with a lot of AdaptationExpansion, but criticised for [[ItsEasySoItSucks unchallenging puzzles]]. Telltail have announced that they will work to correct this aspect in the second season, which will consist of original stories. The first announced title for Season 2 is ''[[IndianaJonesAndTheFateOfAtlantis Daring Do and the Fate of Atlatigo]]''. Another videogame company, PAL Laboratories, announced that they're working on a more action packed platformer called ''[[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Daring Do and the Great Cave Offensive]]'' which takes place on a completely separate continuity from the Telltail games and apparently the books as well.

* '''Daring Do and the Strange Detective''': (Due out next Summer Sun Celebration; currently on hold) The first of a two-part crossover between ''Daring Do'' and ''The [[Series/{{Psych}} Fringe ]][[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Files]]''; written by a group of fans of both series and approved by both authors. Daring Do ends up discovering a journal about a long-forgotten artifact said to have been forged to counter Discord, the Crest of Might. While searching for it and its three Gems, she finds that one of the gem founders hired somepony to investigate the strangers stalking her. That somepony? Paranormal detective, Fringe Truth. Alternate Title: Reality Game
** The two part story has been pushed back by a year. It is unknown why, but rumors circulate that the actual authors may actually end up making these stories canon to the Core series, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
* '''Daring Do and the Crest of Might''': (Due out next Hearth's Warming; currently on hold) The conclusion of the two-part crossover between ''Daring Do'' and ''The [[Series/{{Psych}} Fringe ]][[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Files]]''; written by a group of fans of both series and approved by both authors. With Ahuizotl possessing the Ruby of Life and losing the Sapphire of Fate, Daring and Fringe must obtain the Topaz of Matter before Ahuizotl gains it and the Sapphire, giving him near-unlimited power. Alternate Title: Cataclysmic Change
** The two part story has been pushed back by a year. It is unknown why, but rumors circulate that the actual authors may actually end up making these stories canon to the Core series, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

* '''Daring Do and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPjcvv4tbSA Leading Cyber]]''' : An adaptation of a scene from ''Daring Do and the Breathing Weapons'' in which Daring fights the heavy-weapons griffon, Falke. No plot, just beautifully animated fight scenes on par with [[DragonBallZ Dragon Brawler X]].

There were also several comics in the weekly [[DisneyAdventures Disneigh Adventures]] magazine under the name "Diamond Daring", featuring Daring being turned into a Diamond Dog by Ahuizotl and her quest to become a pony again. The series is purely comedy, with rarely any drama. Despite being written with an extreme dose of LighterAndSofter, the comics are praised for their witty writing and [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar subtle adult humor]]. Several readers have billed them as, "the {{WesternAnimation/Animaniacs}} of Daring Do comics, and it's been rumored that A. K. Yearling prefers these stories out off all the other alternate continuities. There are a total of four arcs at the moment, but the writers for Disneigh Adventures have confirmed there will be more in the future.

** '''Daring Do and the Interdimensional Song''': By L. Heartstrings. Blank Slate, former acquaintance of Tabula Rasa and former antagonist from ''Humanestrian University'', is investigating the possibility of other creatures from Equestria wreaking havoc in the other world. When her questioning of three depowered Sirens goes nowhere, her investigation leads to her bumping into Daring Do, but Daring Do is still in Equestria. Just who is this "Daring Do" then?
