@peter_52 Hello Peter,
Thank you so much for reaching out and for your incredibly kind words about my story. I was genuinely happy to read your feedback; it's deeply meaningful to know that the atmosphere and characters resonated with you so strongly.
While I am profoundly grateful for your offer of a paid collaboration, it's with regret that I must decline. My writing is a personal endeavor, created not for monetary gain or popularity, but purely as an outlet for the sudden ideas, worlds, and characters that capture my imagination. Because of this personal purpose, I do not pursue commercial opportunities for my work.
However, I want to be perfectly clear that you have my full and enthusiastic permission to take inspiration from my stories. If any characters, objects, or events sparked an idea for you, you are more than welcome to incorporate that inspiration into your own original work. You do not need my permission to do so, and I release any claim to it. I would be delighted to see elements that inspired you find new life through your artistic lens.
I also feel it's important to be transparent that I utilize AI support in my creative process. For this reason, it wouldn't feel fair to me to label my work alongside the incredible skills of real artists like yourself, which is another reason I keep my projects non-commercial.
Thank you again for this wonderful offer and for the great compliment it represents. I wish you the very best with your future projects and have no doubt you will create amazing things.
Warm regards,
Omniscyra
