Hello Tumblr.
As some of you might know yesterday, THIS was posted on tumblr.
In this post, you can see that it talks about one of my works I wrote on AO3.
However, I would like to clear up some things.
First things first, I want to apologise to @hotmandrivefast . I am deeply sorry that I used your pictures without asking for permission first. I never meant to do anything bad or hurt someone's feelings. I am deeply sorry and hope you can forgive me.
I know that this doesn't apologise or forgive anything, but I simply wasn't aware that I had to ask for permission. I thought tagging you on tumblr and AO3 was enough, and clearly, that was wrong.
I apologise fir this. I am only 15 years old and wasn't aware of how these things work. Formula 1 is one of my deepest passions and I didn't mean to do anything wrong. I should have done my research on how this works before publishing anything. Again, I am deeply sorry. I just wasn't smart enough about this topic and copyright and such things. Again, my mistake and I take full responsibility.
But, I would like to clear something up. I have never ever used AI. I think using AI and posting it as my own story is disgusting. I used a program called grammarly. When I write all of my stories, I wrote them in my native language, Slovenian, to make it more alive and real. I only used the programm to translate the story so it could be for everyone to read.
I want to especially point that out because i have been getting a lot of mean messages. People saying I am AI, that I should k*ll myself for being a liar, that they will hurt me and that I am trash on earth.
Because of all these bad messages, I have deleted my Tumblr and AO3 account. Yes, I did a mistake for not asking @hotmandrivefast to use their pictures and I am sorry. But other people before me have written about drivers becoming little humans and really tiny before me, so I thought I could do that as well. I was just really inspired by the pictures.
Again, I should have asked for permission and I am deeply sorry. However, I have never used AI and I won't apologise for getting my stories translated to English.
I hope now that everyone will stop sending me mean and hate messages. I am still young (15) and I know understand that you can't just use others post as inspiration for a story without asking first or their pictures. I am very sorry.
I hope you can all now understand my story and what happened and please not send me hate. I did a mistake. I apologise.
This situation has thought me to be very careful with what I post and my sister also helped me with deleting everything after a lot of hate messages were left behind.
I am sorry for using your picture without asking first and hope you can forgive. I have made this account so I can say to all of you and especially @hotmandrivefast to say sorry.
Thank you for reading!
Maddy.
WTF is wrong with our society. Sending such disgusting messages to a 15 year old all because of a mistake.
Nah, yelling someone to k*ll themselves just because they made a mistake and not even waiting for their side of the story is wrong
