I have to confess to my fellow bronies. I must get this off my chest!

[My little pwny 1,392]

Oh boy, I feel oddly guilty for doing what I am about to confess about! My regret is consuming me and I must divulge to make my soul at peace. Feel free to laugh about it, but I nonetheless feel terrible!

 

_____________

 

Last night I was bored and somehow, I wandered into a clop fic that was linked from Equestria after dark.... I never go into that web site, except for that one time you see. I was dangerously bored. But I thought to myself, how bad could this be?

 

Of course not to get into any detail, but the clop fic was a human-pony quick shipping featuring "you" and Nurse Redheart... When I say "you" I mean the story was written in a second-person point of view, as if the reader was the main character.

 

I never read clop fics before but I guess curiosity got the better of me. I should have stopped but I didn't! I read it all the way through and after I was done I was like... ew. And apparently all the comments implied that it wasn't that bad... It's been bugging me all day that I read it so it feels good to finally tell somepony.

 

Make me promise never to read another clop fic!

Uh, thanks for telling us and all, but it's a clop fic. You seem to be beating yourself up over reading a clop fic. Really dude, it isn't that bad at all.

[Twiliscael 3,960]

Clopfics can be surprising well written while some are complete garbage. I read some mostly for the writing aspect as well as how they can make the "encounters" seem semi-realistic to the characters. Not to mention some are kinda hot

Could we maybe get a link?

XD

 

Your not crazy don't worry. Curiosity is natural of human beings. I personally am NOT a clopper nor do I look at rule 34 ponies, however when I see one I can't help but stare. You know why? Because I hardly ever see them. Quite like 19th century art I don't enjoy it but I do look at it out of curiosity.

Honestly, it happens, if you liked the story... does it really matter? I don't think it does... Sometimes you can wonder onto things that you might be disgusted with but sometimes its not bad.

 

Buck happens.

[Bari 7,023]

I'm not a clopper, but I read clop fic from time to time. Unless I'm abnormal, there is nothing wrong with you. Go ahead and read whatever.

[My little pwny 1,392]

Uh, thanks for telling us and all, but it's a clop fic. You seem to be beating yourself up over reading a clop fic. Really dude, it isn't that bad at all.

 

Yeah, I know. It's just a story in all, but my odd guilt was still there and I couldn't shake it off.

[Zerul 554]

Don't worry bro.. I've done similar things MANY times but nothing you can do about it now.I personally haven't and will never read a Clop-Fic but I see nothing wrong if others do Do what will make you happy.

[Bronium 512]

You really didn't need to apologize. I mean, it's a piece of fiction. You didn't do anything bad. It was probably very weird for you. Considering you were not titillated reading the porn. Porn is meant to titillate. It's like watching porn after you masturbated. Which must have been very boring. You must have been very very bored.

 

But still, nothing to fret about over here. I think the large majority of the fandom accepts cloppers and clopfics. So no need to feel guilt. You must have been very bored though.

[False Perception 482]

Well...I for one am not a fan of smut, nor am I much of a fan of erotica, yet I enjoy something with a compelling plot (lol) no matter what drives it, and my best examples for this would be "Romance Reports" and "The Scootaloo Diaries", the latter of which LITTERED with unnecesarry clop, that if removed, would not harm the tale told at all. Might I add, that it IS a really good story, with or without all the clop...

[be my waifu 2,842]

Yeah, don't beat yourself up about it

 

It sounds very tame compared to some, so it could have been much worse

[Crispy 5,563]

I am okay with clopfics and reading them isn't a big deal.

 

What matters is how well they're written.

[MidnightStallion 28]

I've gone as far as browsing clop pics out of curiosity. I don't do it anymore for the simple reason that it kills the series for me. However if someone can enjoy clop and continue to view MLP the same one, good for them. I think we overreact sometimes when it comes to a sensitive topic for us like clopping.

[False Perception 482]

It also pains me to say, that if that was your first encounter with that "genre", then it has completely put it in a bad light. I for one have read MANY fanfictions (minus Fallout: Equestria, shut up, I don't have the time for that and I hate sci-fi) and almost ALL 2nd person fics I have read are lackluster, the clopfics no exception. The 2nd person clopfics are actually even worse, most just downright disgusting in terms of writing and the lack of ability to structure a story, in which it becomes SMUT.

[My little pwny 1,392]

Thanks everypony for making me feel better. The story itself was well written and "realistic" as far as colorful ponies go, and it wasn't as bad as other clops from what you guys are telling me.

[Twi Rubix 726]

No need to be ashamed about it. Besides, you stumbled upon it, and curiosity got the better of you. (Happens to me sometimes) It's just weird when you wanna keep reading something so obscure. XD Just because you read a clop fic, doesn't mean we won't like you. I personally never came across any, and don't plan to.

[Winona the Dog 1,984]

Its ok its one of those wrong place wrong time moments that everyone has.

 

 

I for one don't read clopfics and i dont go ballistic on cloppers as long as they leave me alone

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

Ehh.... well I've read some clopfics, I wouldn't beat myself up for it though, since I've read plenty of them, and I kinda like them..... o3o

 

But don't worry doesn't make you any different than who you are xD

[~Lawful Jordo~ 2,066]

Nothing wrong with reading a clopfic, do what you want to do. I don't really like them myself, but I know a lot of people who do.

[My little pwny 1,392]

geesh pinkazoid, you know how to make me laugh and feel better at the same time! thank you so much!

[MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406]

It doesn't matter. Read all the clopfics you want!

There's no harm done to anyone in reading them. (inb4 YOU'RE CORRUPTING AN INNOCENT SHOW) If you like it, then do it.

[Dragonshy 2,305]

Live life. If you like reading clopfics then read them if you like it. Don't feel bad or like you have to confess for doing something you like.

[Colon Leftbracket 971]

Oh darn and there I thought there was some creeper writing clop fics of ME! I mean I know my sexiness deserves some trashy fiction, but with Nurse Redheart? Needs a better ship!

 

Ughh... I guess this would be a fun time to mention how I frequent clop fics for fun! haha

 

If you are disgusted by the clop fic that's fine and natural! Not much people have the stomach to read trashy material like clop and grimdark fics.

Guess you aren't someone like me who reads them because I find gross and terrible things hilarious!

 

But that's okay though. Just don't read anymore!

[Ron Jeremy 2,032]

Well, I know that feeling. Months before I was a fan of the show, I read several gore-tastic fanfics that were linked to me, out of morbid curiosity. Midway through, I knew it was horrible and I didn't want to read it, but then I was hit with the train-wreck effect: They were awful, but I couldn't stop looking at them.

 

All I can say is, don't feel guilty about morbid curiosity, and if you stop thinking about it it'll get to the point where you don't think about it unless you try to.

 

And, well, if you did like it, that's your business. Pretty sure nopony will judge you for that.

[bagelbass 29]

It really isn't that bad. Everyone gets curious about something once in awhile. No need to beat yourself up over a miniscule thing
