Hello there, I'm Marcus and I write with AI, no secrets here!

Like most people writing here on Wattpad, I grew up completely immersed in worlds of fantasy and imagination. Harry Potter, Pokémon, Star Wars, Dragon Ball - I was that classic nerd/geek/otaku kid who spent hours lost in books, anime, and games. Sports only came into my life much later, along with the kinds of human connections that inspire me most today: friendship, belonging, that quiet bond between people who finally find a place together. That's the kind of interaction I love to write about - maybe because I didn't always have it myself.

I started writing almost by accident, just to pass the time and to get things out of my system. It became a way to create the kinds of stories I wanted to read but couldn't find anywhere else. Choosing to use AI was simply an opportunity - a tool to help me explore ideas and styles I couldn't quite pull off alone. Sure, I know there are creative writing courses, that "real" writers spend years doing research and honing their craft. But I'm not a "real" writer. I'm just someone experimenting, playing with concepts, and having fun with AI to see where it goes.

I write for the love of it, not as a career. My stories start with the ideas, concepts, and characters that have been with me for years - and they only really come alive when I bring in ChatGPT as a sort of co-author. I don't hide that. My writing is hybrid, built on constant back-and-forth with AI. The plotlines, the choices, the heart of the story all come from me; ChatGPT just helps me reach the texture, rhythm, and detail I'm aiming for.

I'm not trying to be a professional writer, and I'm not here for mass readership. I write because I enjoy seeing these stories exist, because I need them for myself. If people want to read, great. If nobody reads, that's fine too. And if the idea of "hybrid writing" bothers anyone, no hard feelings - just don't read.
