Just another struggling writer.
I haven't used this account for a while, but I may if I can ever get myself to write again. That said, I had things on here I didn't like, and have gone ahead and deleted that stuff. If there was a story of mine you liked that is no longer here, I'm sorry but it's gone now. If I do write again, I want to write something better than the crap I had on here.

Tiss a shame I often read the stories you made based on my art. But no worries at all. :) I hope you find the means to write about kinky bondage peril again sometime. :)

Chances are if I get inspired, I'll have to write it. I don't get inspired anymore lately, but if it happens I'll have to do it.
Did something happen? I really liked your work man...
It is a very poor move to remove public stories that people enjoy a lot, regardless of what you personally think of them as the author.
Why can't you let people decide if they're good enough for them, rather than letting your own, negative feelings regarding your stories affect them and force them to carry your decision with all its consequences?

I'm honestly really surprised someone would bother posting a link to the deleted stories twice on this blog. I guess I won't delete that link anymore.
Flutter, seeing as how you're a writer, and clearly a better one than myself given the number of projects you've completed, I would think you'd be a little more understanding. I don't assume I have readers, or anyone who still remembers what I've done in the short time I was writing. More to the point though, you are correct in assuming I'm thinking more of myself than others.
I'm not proud of the past stories I wrote, specifically the foalcon stuff. And that's primarily because I wrote them under this name, and it's the only name I have in this fandom. You know how stressful it gets, going to cons with my name and always feeling scared someone will attack me because I wrote a foalcon story? And while I could maybe come up with a different name, I challenged myself to just owe up to what I was making and not hide it, hoping someone would know me and be cool with me. Gods forbid, maybe even accept me as someone who is more than the silly shit stories I was writing. That's kind of what I took to believe this whole fandom was suppose to be about. It's what I kept hearing from others anyway, about how accepting and caring the fandom is as a collective.
I didn't meet that challenge, and I've come to find that myth about the brony fandom was horse shit all along. People are fucking awful, be they bronies or not.
So yes, I am thinking about myself in wanting to delete the things I feel ashamed of having written. That shame kept me from even wanting to try writing anymore. Over the years it's dulled my ability to write. I'm trying to change that now. I'm cleaning up my act, in a sense. I'd like to not feel like I should be hiding, or that I am wrong when I try not to hide.

You should have thought of that first, before releasing Foalcon under anything but an alias. Taking the stories away afterwards is nothing more but poor behavior.
Besides, you had these stories on your account since 2013 and clearly no one has "attacked" you over them, otherwise, you would have taken them down a lot earlier. This kind of sudden paranoia does not excuse anything.
And being scared doesn't either. Every author with a shred of decency would get over their fear and that (needless, as I may point out) shame and keep the stories up for their readers who supported them.
Surprise, surprise!
I am an author, but I'm not you, and I would never take stories I've written, regardless of what it is, down because I am not selfish, but decent enough to care for those who love these stories and would like to keep them.
The stories may be yours, but as soon as you upload them in public, you affect more than yourself with taking them down. You hurt other people that way, you are ungrateful for the support you received and you expect people to bow to your whims like a tyrant.
As a decent author, you see your readers as partners, rather than slaves who are only there to make you feel good until you don't need them anymore, and take into account how much these stories mean to them and thus, leave them up for them.
That "I thought you're one of us" angle you're playing on me there doesn't work. Not every author is selfish.
You are afraid of getting shamed for writing Foalcon? Well, congratulations then, now you're actually getting shamed for something.
5048590
Dude? I think you're being too harsh....
5048601
I don't think so. There is nothing that makes me more furious than when someone takes their ponyfics down. For good reasons.
5048590
I can calmly admit that under the stress of paranoia and shame, people act irrationally. I hope you never experience the kind of paranoia and stress I've felt over the last week that lead me to do this so I wouldn't have to feel scared. And maybe I am wrong, and this is ultimately not going to matter. Fact is, I don't apologize for doing what I thought was best for me. My readers, if they care or are still around, will still want to read what I have to write, if I write again. And if they miss my old stuff, you've offered the link and I won't delete it.
5048625
Yeah. If you're feeling so scared, then there are better ways to deal with it than letting your readers and fans of your stories suffer for it. Like, changing your own perception of yourself and of your stories, reinforce yourself that writing Foalcon isn't something to feel ashamed for.
A better solution than taking your stories down. But it's clear your readers don't really mean something to you.
5048630
I've told the same thing to artists and writers before. And fundamentally, I don't believe it's wrong. It's fantasy, it's harmless only to people who are smart enough not to go looking for things to feel offended over. Only problem though is that when you don't hide your name, like me, it's easier to get shit from stupid people who are looking to feel self righteous and virtuous while doing the least they can do to earn those feelings.
I should have picked an alias to write things under. On well. I can't go back six years to fix that mistake, I can just try and do what I can now that feels right. You may see it as me not caring about my readers, but it would be pretty reckless if I always cared about the feelings of others over my own self preservation. Besides, you're not one of my readers - why are you so passionate about this?
Saying you're ashamed of these stories basically insults every single person who enjoyed them. Deleting them does nothing to change the minds of haters, but does a lot to push away your fans.
Also, you shouldn't feel ashamed. The people making you feel that way should.
5048760
And that is now suddenly a problem, after six years, while it was never a problem during these six years. True story.
I said "readers and fans". I maybe couldn't read them yet, like there are a ton of stories here I'm interested in but couldn't read yet, but I've seen your Foalcon stories and had them on "Read Later".
And the stories themselves aren't the only important thing. They are the most important thing, but there is a good amount of history in the reader's comments, too. Personal memories for those who read the stories and left these comments or just interesting conversation about a story for everyone who stumbled over a story later. Or, more memories if they leave a comment of their own there.
Everything is in some way important and worth preserving, especially the stories, and you decided to just throw all of this away with a click. History erased because of a sudden change of mood.
My point about you not caring for your readers still stands. If you were, you would have at least taken care of preserving these stories and their comments elsewhere. Mods move every story here to another account by request, if the author agrees, so you could have created an alias account that way and let the stories getting moved there. Then they would be gone from your account and, at least here on FIMFiction, no one could have associated them with you anymore. Heck, you could even continue writing Foalcon that way, imagine that!
Or, you could move them to here. A mod can also restore a deleted story.
Also, regardless what you do, you can't detach these stories from your name by deleting them. They are up on FIMFetch, with your name next to them.
And in case you should get the idea to contact the creator of FIMFetch and request deletion and in the case he respects that wish, I went on the WaybackMachine yesterday and archived all your stories there, save for the two you left up here and the two rape fetish fics, which is a fetish I'm not supporting. Descriptions, chapters, even the downloadable files that FIMFetch offers, everything is preserved on the Internet for eternity now. Example:
https://web.archive.org/web/20190423224322/https://fimfetch.net/story/98243/no-more-kid-stuff
If they disappear from FIMFetch, they'll still be there and I will post organized links to them in new threads in both Foalcon groups then. The world wide web doesn't forget and neither should it be when it's about preserving history and art. You can't rid yourself of that association anymore, no matter what you do.
If you delete your stories here, that is one thing. But if you refuse to provide them elsewhere for those who read them or look forward to finally reading them and if you even go so far to prevent your readers from finding them again elsewhere, it's utter lunacy and the behavior of a tyrant.
You can do what you want with your account, there you are in your right. But you have no right to prevent your stories from getting reposted for archiving purposes and to keep them accessible for the people who love them, as doing that is equal to tell them they have no right to read these stories anymore in the first place.
And you don't have this right. You have no right to tell people that they shouldn't read your stories anymore or to prevent them from reading them.
I use your example to demonstrate how important independent and uncompromising archiving of an author's ponyfics is, by showing that the stories will still live on and that you will not be able to remove them from those who love reading them.
Add to this that this will also be a good lesson for you, about aliases and about not feeling ashamed or scared when there's no need to.
You can also still go and let the stories get restored before you let a mod move them into "Fluttercheer's Orphanage". Because unlike FIMFetch, I accept the condition that authors will be kept anonymous by me there if they wish so.
If your readers ever meant anything to you, you will take that middle route instead of being hellbent to cut them off your writing.

Hey, how about you go fuck yourself and stop harassing Sirius about taking down HIS stories. Seriously, how much of a human garbage pile do you have to be to say that someone is "selfish" for removing something they no longer wish to be associated with? I'm soooo sorry that you, by your examples, didn't get to reading the stories that he soooo selfishly wrote and selfishly shared on the internet for six years. Wow, how terrible of someone to not want to be associated with something he wrote out half a decade ago, that is part of a genre that has a near universal negative connotation attached to it.
If Sirius wants to remove any story he made from the site, then he, as the FUCKING CREATOR, has the right to do so. They give writers that a delete button for a reason, so quit being a little foalcon five year old by saying "I got everything copied in triplicate, so don't bother asking the back up site, that BTW I made you aware of because I'm fucking stupid, to remove it or I'll just make links to it somewhere else. Now either repost them, or let me repost them, cause I'm a baby and I want my bottle that I haven't touched in six years... wah".
Sirius doesn't need your shitty opinion on what he decides to do, and if you bother him again or dare try to post links without his express permission, then I will make sure the moderators are pointed in your direction for harassing another member of the site and (if you turn out to be a complete retard, and not just half of one) plagiarism of his materials. Sorry that even the stories he has made that he no longer wants be associated with have received literally (I checked) ten times as much positive feedback as anything you've ever wrote, but that doesn't mean you can try to be a mangy alley stray and pick through his trash to get some kind of attention. Go the fuck away, and get the fuck out, you no name heap of human excrement.
Oh, and have a nice day ^_^.

Nice job.^^ If I had more faith in humanity, I would say this is a very nicely written parody of your average author/artist-protecting white knight who excuses every poor behavior by an artist/author. You nailed the tone of such a person nicely with your exaggerated criticism.
Unfortunately, I have zero hopes for humanity.
So I can only say:
Go ahead. Report me for posting links to his stories.
Edit: Just in case you don't know where to look for them:

Gladly. In fact it is done. I hope that you get exactly what you deserve, cause you are legitimately the second shittiest person I have seen on FIMFic. BTW, it's cute you think I'm a white knight, cause if you even had a clue who I am, you'd know that's no where close to what I am. I just can smell crap from a mile away, and oh boy do you reek.
Have a nice life, and don't forget to go fuck yourself ^_^.

And I find it cute that you believe in it that posting links to an archive of an author's stories is against site rules when the author disagrees with that.
I also did not attack him, I just criticized his decision and showed ways for how to do it better instead of deleting the stories. And you are white-knighting him, because I even offered him alternatives that would allow him to rid himself of his stories without people having to lose them here on FIMFiction.net.
The ownership of the stories may be his, but that doesn't mean he owns what people feel about them and that he has the right to dictate them whether to read his stories or not. Which he effectively did, not just by deleting his stories here instead of preserving them on an alias account, but also by deleting the link to the archive of his stories and by actively preventing people from still finding them that way.
This is more than him trying to not get associated with the stories anymore. This is him dictating people what they can look at in the Internet, a space that is supposed to have free access to information and the content of your choice, and there is nothing correct about doing that.
I am completely in my right to criticize a behavior that is needlessly cruel and only serves to mistreat and abuse people.
Edit: And regarding reports, if I where you, I would be glad for it that I have such a thick skin and that I don't go and report you for what you said here. Because you attacked and insulted me no less than eleven times in those two comments of yours, which is actually against site rules:
If anything, you might have just reported yourself and I can't help you with that, nor am I willing to. Here's a little list of what you said, in case a mod should take a look at this comments section:

Fuck off XD You totally did attack him. You are also trying to blackmail him, despite your objections to that fact. If you don't think you did, then you must be dumber than I thought. Oh, just realize that me calling you a complete waste of a human being is not an attack, because I'm saying it's not. Man, that sounds really stupid when I say it aloud, so I guess you're just dumber than I thought.
Sirius doesn't want nor need your help, and I know this because I'm an associate of his, and we discussed how much of a prat you are. Again, sorry you are dumber than a box of socks (cause comparing you to rocks would be an insult to Maud), but he doesn't have to submit to your wants for his stories. They are his, so he gets to decide what to do with them, end of story, literally.
People can feel whatever they want about it, just like you can feel like an entitled busy body who has nothing better to do but bother people more successful than you. That doesn't mean anything though when it comes to what Sirius wants to do with his works. No amount of "feelings" overrides that his stories are his property, and that gives him the right to toss them in the shredder, shit on the remains, and then set fire to the shat on scraps of paper afterwards. Just be glad he had a legitimate reason to get rid of them, cause honestly he could have gotten rid of them "just cause" and he would still be in the right. I mean I realize you have no concept of ownership, but that's how it works in the real world Flutternuts.
"Dictating what they can look at on the internet"? HOLY FUCK, you really are retarded aren't you? Oh, I'm sorry. I should say "mentally impaired" to spare your feelings. There, there, it will all be ok. Seriously though, what in the world are you thinking? He isn't stopping anyone from doing anything. Not sure if you realize this, but there are plenty of other pedo pony stories on the interweebs. What is he "dictating" over, save for the work that is his own, that he has the legal right to remove given to him by this site and the united states of america (which this site's server is located, and subject to the laws of). So excuse me little miss "Princess of Entitlement", but you're still full of shit.
Ha! "Cruel". You must be a liberal arts student. If you think that taking down a Mcdonald's ad you had zero interest in, but are now some reason involved with because someone rightfully removed the out of date piece of parchment, is cruel then you must not be able to deal with life in general. Be glad that you have never experienced true cruelty like I have, cause I could tell you stories that would turn your hair white and your soul black.
That appears to be everything, but I know that you are gonna be back with more in a matter of minutes because you literally have nothing else in your life to live for. Until then, have a nice 79 seconds, and don't forget to fuck yourself in tonight. I heard that it was gonna get frigid, but maybe that's just me ^_^
Edit: In regards to all the times I attacked you, all I gotta say is "Cool story, bro".

Block users you don't get along with, or ignore them. Personal attacks will solve nothing and guilt-tripping people betrays a sense of entitlement rather than persuade them to do anything,

FYI, I've previously asked the admins about linking to FiMFetch. It was explicitly allowed.
5049118
sure, but if Sirius went to FIMFetch, asked them to remove his stories from there, Flutternuts doesn't have the right to go out of their way to save and repost his stories against wishes on another site. Nor does Flutternuts have the right to threaten Sirius that lest he do what they want, they will make sure that people see the stories in a manner that still connects Sirius to them. It's the mentality of a terrorist.
