Taking that first big step · 12:46pm Feb 23rd, 2012

Hello, everyone. If you're reading this, then you've either found me through a story I published, or you've just idly clicked on my name out of curiosity and/or boredom. In either case, welcome! I'm Drefsab, and I attempt to write pony fiction that is both erotic and engaging on a story level. I've been writing fics for many years now, on a wide variety of subjects, and I've finally decided to include ponies in that list. And clopfics. It's been an...interesting process.
Back when I decided to write my first story, Sophistication and Betrayal, a few weeks ago, I had a few goals in mind. First and foremost, I wanted to write a romantic story. Or attempt to, anyway. One that feels real, with three-dimensional characters, even if it involved a second-person perspective (a style I've never written before). Second, I wanted it to be, well, erotic. A lot of clop fics tend to simply glance over the actual sexual moments, and I've always felt that this is a mistake. After all, if you're reading a story like that, you've already decided that clopping to ponies is just fine. Real relationships have a foundation of healthy sexuality, and sharing those intimate moments are some of the most wonderful experiences one can have. So why pretend that they're something to be skimmed? I try to do so without being sexually vulgar, because nothing kills the mood like reading a bunch of eyebrow-raising slang for anatomy.
Finally, I wanted an over-arching story to it. Something with real conflict. Something that felt real and relate-able, even if it's involving a human in a sexual relationship with a cartoon pony.
I should mention that the human is, in fact, not an author-insert. I always find those tacky. He's based on some personal experiences, yes, since you write what you know, but he's made to be an everyman...which is kind of important when you're going with the decidedly-odd second-person story telling method.
Did I succeed in any of these? I certainly hope so! I don't claim to be an amazing, mind-blowing author or anything. I'm just a guy writing stories because he enjoys it.

ANYWAY. Enough of my pretentious and long-winded bullshit. If you liked what you've read, then a comment is always appreciated. If you have any questions, concerns, or tips for improvement, then please, let me know. I'm always looking to improve my writing, and every bit of (constructive) criticism helps!

Last, but not least, there's a few authors I'd like to thank for inspiration. Namely, TAW and RagingSemi. I originally found them through the Clopfic Directory, and I thought their stories were very well-written and engaging. If you're already cool with erotic writing, then give them a view. They're pretty damn good! If either of you happen to be reading this, then I want to offer a sincere thanks, even if you were just writing clopfics because you like writing clopfics. It's nice to find good authors in a sea of bland or unexciting writing! You guys rock.

Alright, I'm off my soapbox. If you, for some reason, read this whole thing, then thanks for stopping by and giving me a chance. If you're gonna clop to ponies, bro, don't be ashamed of it.
