i’ve unpublished almost all of my fics, and i want to offer a sincere apology.
in the past, i used ai to help write my stories. this was about a year ago, and at the time i didn’t fully understand the seriousness of what i was doing (both ethically and in terms of its environmental impact). that doesn’t excuse it, but it’s the truth.
over the past few months, i’ve had a lot of time to reflect. i’ve come to understand how unfair it was to the entire community of wp writers who spend years developing their fics, improving their style, and pouring genuine effort into their work, while i was submitting my chapters to chat gpt and relying on it to enhance them.
what i would usually do was write a chapter myself, putting real effort into it, and then give it to AI ai “improve” the language, make it sound fancier, and add deeper descriptions. at the time, it made me feel safer. i felt like i could publish something more “polished” without worrying about being judged. but now i realize that in doing so, i stripped away much of my own growth and authenticity, turning my effort into something that no longer fully reflected me.
the truth is, i was insecure. and instead of trusting my own voice, i hid behind something else.
to everyone who read my fics: i’m sorry. i wasn’t transparent, and that was wrong. you deserved honesty.
maybe one day i’ll rewrite those stories completely on my own, from scratch. for now, i’ve chosen to take them down. i’m only keeping up Batshit (for pity).
again, i’m truly sorry to all of my readers. i hope, in time, you can forgive me.
