It breaks my heart to say this, but I've deleted my Leon fic. I don't think I'll be sharing my writing here anymore. At first, I tried to ignore the cruel messages and baseless accusations, but their sheer volume has completely extinguished the joy I once felt in posting it.
I want to make one thing crystal clear: I do not, and have never, used AI. I've loved writing since I was a little girl, and every single word I put on a page comes directly from who I am, how I see the world, and how I process emotions. Writing has always been my safe space, and I refuse to let it become a source of anxiety. I know I don't have to defend myself to people who have already made up their minds, but I refuse to let my work be spoken over.
It hurts to be called a liar over a story I poured my heart into. My writing is mine. It's flawed, it's human, it's me. And if this space can't tell the difference between a real person's feelings and a chatbot, then I don't want to share it here.
To the people who were kind, who left sweet comments and tags—thank you. You reminded me why I loved writing in the first place. You were the bright spot in all of this, and I'm incredibly sad that a few cruel people ruined it for the rest of us. Be kind to each other out there. I'll still be writing, just not here.
