I'm Done With Self-Insert Clop · 4:49pm April 4th
I know I've said this before and ultimately changed my mind but this time, it is legit. While I was at BABSCon, something just happened. My pony name at every con I go to is StormLuna and I constantly have my concerns that somepony is going to bring it up. It isn't just that though, it isn't me anymore and I'm going to be honest here. I look back and realize that the only reason I wrote those was because of the thrill of not only the feelings I got from writing them but the amount of followers they brought in. For so long I was basically obsessed with my follower count, kind of like how Dash was obsessed with breaking the record in "Hurricane Fluttershy."
Also, as I was getting Starlight's mark as a tattoo I also began to have similar thoughts running through my mind. In the self-inserts, I began to realize that I treated her more as an object than a pony....which was common in my self-insert clop fics. Now as you can all see, I have deleted my self-insert clop fics. I simply wanted to purge them from my account and hope that with time, I can have a better reputation than "oh StormLuna, the guy who writes fics about banging his favorite mares." I'll be 100% honest, looking back I am actually ashamed of writing the things to start with. If I wind up losing followers over this, I wind up losing them. I'm not obsessed with that number anymore and I feel much better because of it.
However, this doesn't mean I'm quitting all clop. My last story was Yuri and any clop fics from this point forward will be Yuri as I originally intended when I started doing them. Any hetero straight ship fics will be non-clop like "Rivet's First Love." Unlike it was in the past where I didn't do so, I think writing a more in-depth explanation for this will truly allow me to move on from that genre. Back in 2021 when it was because of feeling pressured by another user I was fairly close to, I made this decision completely on my own with no outside influence.
I do apologize to those of you who enjoyed the stories but I felt that for me to truly free myself from that genre, this was a necessary decision. By writing this long drawn out explanation, I also feel like I have thrown the weight of the world off my shoulders the same way Maud threw that rock in "Maud Pie." Most importantly, I feel like I'm finally free!
Well it's your choice so I have no say in it and must respect your decision if you feel like it.

Thanks. The things I mentioned caused me to make the decision that I did. I was originally going to just move them to an alt but then I realized that they would still be there, tempting me to go back to the genre.
its okay i use ai for my porn anyway now
so don’t feel bad

I don't trust AI but to each their own. I'm hoping to get some stories with more substance written, or at least when it comes to porn, keeping it lesbian only.

And that is what I plan on doing. I want to be happy with what I write and not feel like I have to write to simply bring in more followers.
