Idiot-Potato-Child

Pt4. Conclusion
          
          All in all, I'm pretty apologetic for my actions and the idea that what I was doing was 100% okay for a stupid potato child to be doing.
          
          I'm still writing fics to this day, which I can successfully announce they're age appropriate for me to be writing whilst also still remaining pretty spunky and entertaining for me.
          
          I don't think I'll ever return to Wattpad, I know for certain this is a chapter of my life I want to close, and leaving it completely shut. I'll be lingering around on Ao3, however I won't be sharing my username for anonymity and to preserve my sanity for when I eventually move on to other endeavours and projects I see myself in, hopefully I don't get recognised as that one traumatised-idiot child who wrote soft-core.
          
          If you as a child find yourself writing this stuff, I highly encourage you not to. If you must, keep it private. NSFW content attracts a very harmful subset of people, thankfully on here it's basically unheard of about seeing bad actors or predators, however the chances are never zero. 
          
          Fanfiction is for everyone, but stay safe and take the right steps into ensuring you don't harm yourself and your reputation, most importantly, have fun.
          
          Sincerely. Idiot-Potato-Child

Pt3. A message to my old beta-reader, if you ever stumble back here
          
          I don't want to be confrontational, I don't want to interrogate you, It's simply not my intentions.
          
          Despite the situation I unknowingly developed through this website and my very unseiso work, finally understanding this should've never EVER been the kind of activity 2 early-teens partook in, nevertheless, you indeed were a huge part of my journey into fictive writing.
          
          Even though it's been a few years, I still sometimes spend time reflecting and thinking very fondly over your support, and how much gratitude I wished I could've shown you, but never got the chance.
          
          Everything you did for me (outside of here mainly) was, in my eyes, still one of the most special and amazing experiences life threw at me, even to this day.
          
          If it makes you feel better karma hit me pretty bad, the full loss of the people I replaced you with were all absolute dog-shit people, some far more than others, but again the journey to this point makes me ponder on the times past, and even now as I look back I'm still very thankful, even if life didn't turn out so great for either one of us.
          
          So I thank you, and I genuinely wish you well, I hope you stay well

Pt2.
          
          On top of that also being genuinely stupid enough to put up my art objectively and clearly made by someone underage, and the fact I constantly shared information such as being on school holidays should've been a red-flag for most, and I thank the few who didn't return after seeing such things.
          
          That 2 years I spent on Rewinded and Fast-Forward has got to be single handedly the most stupid thing I could've done as an underage minor. I'm not here to preach that "you should look more into child safety", "you didn't say anything or warn me, you're bad", or "don't let kids get into fics". I'm simply here to talk into the void and reflect on my actions from my semi-recent past.
          
          However there was one major positive to the mess, my love for writing and storytelling did evolve into something much more healthy and above all else, far more age appropriate. I've been world building since late 2023 and have cultivated something genuinely special, I've explored improv-based storytelling and role-play through games like DnD and what not. So I guess there's always a positive to a big part of my embarrassing past.

Pt1.
          
          I genuinely want to apologise for most likely entertaining and partaking in actions, saying things, and writing fics no child should've ever have been. I was an egotistical little shit who could do no wrong.
          
          No child should be consuming soft-core, lemons, ect ect, no child should be reading anything of the sort, nor should I have ever had a beta-reader, despite them willingly consenting to reading what I had wrote and the fact we were the same age, I can't help but feel remorseful now as I'm about to enter young-adulthood. 
          
          I don't particularly know why I felt the need to post a public NSFW fic as a younger teen, the only real explanation was my innocent passion for writing  led me down a rabbit hole (that to which I very much have learnt to appreciate now) that construed and warped my common sense and clouded what very little judgement I had at the time.
