I can't hide this any longer!
I have a confession to make, and I can't hide this any longer. I'm the guy on AO3 who made all these weird and wild Lalaloopsy fics featuring crossover ships with my Papa Louie OCs. I even had to make it so my Lalaloopsy series takes place at least 10 years after the original Nick Jr. series ended in order for the crossover ships to work out. I've been trying to keep this silent for so long, and keep my AO3 self separate from other websites, but since the silence has broken, I feel like I need to let it all out now. I'm 25, I've graduated college over a year ago in August 2024, and writing this series has pretty much taken over my life, and has been all I'm doing besides waking up, walking outside, eating, applying to jobs hoping I get hired, and sleeping. I haven't been able to secure a job yet, which is why I have way too much time on my hands and have been able to write over 500 fics over the course of almost a year.
Prior to creating Lalaloopsy fanfiction, I thought of fan stuff for My Little Pony and Papa Louie since back when I was 12, and even some of the fan stuff from back then had some sort of "messy" themes in them. Before joining AO3, I've written episodes for other fanon wikis. I've created a lot of fanon episodes on the SpongeBob Fanon wiki from 2019-2022 before it shut down and moved to Miraheze, then in 2022-2023, I've made my own fanon episodes of Pinkalicious & Peterrific and even made a new friend through that wiki as well. These were fun times back then, and I got into Lalaloopsies in May 2023, shortly after my 23rd birthday, from a friend who was into them that made me reminisce on the old Lalaloopsy commercials that I've seen on TV back then. I'm basically the Lalaloopsy equivalent of a "brony," that is, I'm a grown man that's into the Lalaloopsy franchise, which is catered towards younger girls just like My Little Pony. And yes, I am aware the Lalaloopsy brand and franchise is catered towards children, just like MLP.
As for how my AO3 journey all began, I was inspired to make my own Lalaloopsy fanfictions after seeing how small the fandom was on AO3 back in 2023 before I even joined the site. I had many different interests at the time, and was originally going to write for more fandoms than just Lalaloopsy, but ended up writing only for Lalaloopsy instead. My series started in October 28, 2023, five months after I joined the website, and I initially was going to write episodes based off YouTube videos like Angry Grandpa and other raging channels, but eventually branched out into some videos from the weirder side of YouTube which I admit, I like to take the occasional look at. 20 episodes in was when I decided to group my fics by 26 episode seasons, and I had absolutely no idea at the time I would write so much to make it to 34 seasons, which I currently am on now. Back then, I was still in college, trying to balance college classwork with writing fics on my old Windows 10 laptop. I wrote my first 40 episodes that year, and my stories then were mostly tame, based off YouTube videos like SpongeBob plush videos and others, with not too much edgy stuff.
Starting in 2024, the second year of my series, was when I began to write the weirder, wilder side of my fanfiction series which included reenactments of obscure videos with edgier themes. I chose the AO3 to publish my fanfictions on because the archive's guidelines allow literally anything, and I thought I wouldn't be judged harshly for the content I've written there. It was fun writing all those stories over the months, breathing new life into these weird and wild videos on YouTube that have less than 1000 or even 100 views. 2024 was honestly a great year for my series, even though I didn't write much, and I even was able to show some of my fics on the AO3 subreddit and r/FanfictionExchange, and I didn't focus on quantity that much. That year, I've written 291 episodes (S2E15-S13E19), and it was the first year I introduced Papa Louie characters and my OCs to my Lalaloopsy series.
However, this year, 2025, is when I have to honestly admit that this series pretty much took over my life. I've seen you guys' comments on Twitter and on here not mentioning me by name, but just pointing out that I wrote a bunch of Lalaloopsy/Papa Louie crossovers that feature only my OCs rather than canon Papa Louie characters, which multiple people were annoyed and uncomfortable with. I apologize to anybody and everybody who has been made uncomfortable from the discovery of my fanfics on the AO3 platform, as that is not my intention at all. To those people, if you don't wanna read or look at the stuff I've written, that's fine, but you guys should know that there's the option to hide or mute such content, which I do know some of you have used on my fics to hide them from view. It was 100% never my intention to make anybody uncomfortable with the "edgy" Lalaloopsy content that I've posted on AO3; I made a series there to showcase my creativity, even if things can get a little too weird or wild in them. Complete nudity or overly sexual themes is where I cross the line, and I do not write that kind of stuff that would otherwise get an M or E rating. I stopped writing such content starting from episode #801 (S31E21) I think, and episode #852 (S33E20), Mani-Pedi was supposed to be a Teen Titans Go! episode reenactment where I tried not to focus on the fetish aspect.
And yes, I've written a total of 547 fics this year as of the time of typing this up. That's more fics than days of the year that have passed, because on some days, I felt motivated to write two, three, four, or even five fics in one day, depending on what sources I've found to base them off. I have too much time on my hands because I haven't been able to secure a job yet despite all the applications I've sent over the months. Looking back, honestly, all that time I've spent writing these, I could've used on pursuing a good career path or going outside more often. While writing this series has been fun for the most part, looking back, I can tell this took over my life in a bad way, and looking at you guys' comments, it made me feel not as trusted in the Lalaloopsy community due to the nature of the content I've written, which is why I had to cut back on the "edgy" fics recently. Writing this much this year also made me realize that I overfocused on quantity, rather than actually slowing down and posting quality fics. To sum things up, 2025 fics were quantity over quality. 2025 has been a crappy year for me due to personal reasons that I'd rather not get into, and I admit I've also been writing all these to cope with how crappy this year has been.
I've already written 878 episodes of my series so far (currently almost at the end of season 34), and I feel like this Lalaloopsy fanfic series needs a proper finale. I cannot keep it going for too long considering what this series has gotten me into, and I've already told a lot, including the weird and wild themes which I again, 100% did not mean to make you guys uncomfortable with, in the 878 episodes in total so far that I've written for my Lalaloopsy Fan Works series. I plan to end this Lalaloopsy fanon series on episode 1000, which is season 39, episode 12, and after I finish writing that, move on to bigger, better things in life. I admit it, I've been writing so much over the months because I have nothing else better to do, and I've pretty much forgotten the good things that happened in my life before 2019, where my life started taking a turn for the worse, hit.
I have 122 episodes left to write, and none of them will contain problematic themes like feet, tickling, messes in the edgy context, etc. Once I reach episode 1000 and complete this series, I want my Lalaloopsy fanfic writing self to be left in the past, and want to change for the better and hopefully regain trust in the Lalaloopsy community, even if it takes a couple months or more to be trusted again. Expect the 1000th and final episode of my Lalaloopsy series to come in late March or early April 2026, right around the time when season 4 of The Way Home premieres on Hallmark (yes, it was delayed from the usual January season start). I know some of you are gonna be very happy about this news, but for me, it's a bittersweet situation. I'm happy that I'll be able to move on from any potential controversies of having an AO3 series, but a little sad on the inside that this series will be coming to an end after over two years. I hope everyone reading this understands, and doesn't think too bad about me for all the stuff I've written. Thanks, everyone, for coming to my TED Talk. Bye.
If you have any questions or comments feel free to message me on here.
TL;DR: Writing this Lalaloopsy fanon series pretty much took over my life, and I need to give it a proper ending to bury my past and move on.
