Following up on @moesthinking post, I wanted to come forward to share my mutuals and my own experience, with what I believe shows a wider pattern beyond just the AI suspicion.
BEFORE YOU READ : this is not a callout made with malice. I have no interest in seeing anyone harassed, sent hate, or receive death threats. If you do any of that, you are not supporting me or anyone else involved. This is purely about accountability and protecting the creative spaces we've all worked hard to build here!!
Beyond the AI concerns raised in pt. 1, I and several of my mutuals have noticed a recurring pattern of our work, layouts, graphics, fic structures, and themes being used without proper credit or acknowledgement. I'll be walking through each situation with evidence as clearly and fairly as I can.
Prior to posting her series, @/haeonniie reached out to me asking how I made my LCA graphics. As someone who enjoys supporting other writers, I shared that information freely, I had no reason not to. She later showed me her graphics. They were quite similar to LCA style, but at the time I didn't think too much of it since I assumed the overall series would still be different.
However, when she eventually posted the series, I noticed that the structural framework of the series was also very similar to LCA. Because of that, I privately asked her whether she could acknowledge that LCA was an inspiration. She replied saying that she used ChatGPT and asked it what type of structure would work for a web design, and that she just followed what it generated for both the graphics and structure (as previously mentioned in pt.1)
Lights, Camera, Action! was posted in October 2025. By The Hour was posted a few months later in January 2026, after she had already seen and studied my work. The similarities go beyond coincidence, but I haven't included every comparison below, you're welcome to take a look at both series yourself.
However, this didn't stop at By The Hour. Before she posted her collab series, she again reached out asking if she could credit me, stating the layout was coincidentally similar to By The Hour.
As shown above, I agreed at first, but after reflecting, I realised I wasn't comfortable with any reuse of my layouts at all, and communicated that. Her response was that both the By The Hour and GirlNextDoor Post Office (the collab) layouts were entirely her own. Which raises an obvious question, if the layouts were fully original, why was credit to me necessary in the first place? If By The Hour's layout was entirely her own as she claims, then crediting me for the collab series (which she said resembled By The Hour) still traces back to LCA regardless.
My mutual @taestulipss also noticed that haeon's previous theme bore a striking resemblance to hers. Prior to changing her theme, haeon had liked both rosy's pinned post and her masterlist, suggesting she had seen the theme before adopting a similar concept herself. Rosy has a bakery/patisserie themed blog, and haeon's previous theme followed the same concept, a food-based boutique with a similar branding style and comparable layout structure. Rosy was uncomfortable with the similarities, but didn't want to claim sole ownership over a bakery theme, so after a few days, she simply welcomed her instead. Given everything else in this post thus far, it's hard to ignore as part of a wider pattern.
Additionally, haeon's carrd was noted to be using the same premade template as rosy's, which was a free but relatively obscure layout that isn't easily found. While neither of them owns the template itself, the pattern of mirroring rosy's specific choices is hard to ignore in this context.
Lastly, another mutual @gentiliana noticed that haeon posted #TEDDIEZ, which was stated to be 'inspired' by her Taesan smau (#BLACKKATZ) without asking for permission beforehand. According to her, the two fics are highly similar.
While credit was given publicly in the author's note, taking significant inspiration from someone's work without asking first isn't okay, especially when the similarities run deep.
I want to be clear that this post was not made to ruin anyone or send hate her way. If you've read this far, I hope you understand why we felt the need to speak up. The creative spaces we've built here matter, and the work we put into our writing, layouts and blogs is what we're all proud of and hold dearly to us. All we ask is that those things are respected!
hello fae ml 🫶🫶 i have more stuff to say to the slow “haeon used ai ????” anon
anon, i’m sure you’re a lovely person irl but can we bsfr please 😭😭 haeon has literally used ai so many times and if you even just read any of her works it’s very, very clear that she has used chat gpt to write for her. like???? i’m sorry but even without some of the more incriminating stuff shes said…it is very obvious and it’s just so sad to see CREATIVE spaces being taken over by ai slop.
especially when that ai slop steals the works of others in order to “write” its own.
THIS‼️ and not to mention the fact that theres lots of proof of her plagiarizing and copying other writers with graphics AND their work
i wanna say that im so glad you're talking about everything that has been going on with you and your mutuals and all, its really brave of you and i totally understand why you felt like speaking about it, and i also wanna say that im in loveee with the way you speak like its just so cool 🤭 have a good day kimmi!!
aww thank you so much! 🥹🫶💕 I truly adore every single writer on this platform, so my mutuals and me felt the need to advocate this to honor their originality and vulnerability behind their work! I believe writing can be deeply personal at times, and it takes courage to share that out to the world !!
and omfg in love with the way I speak? That's so adorable and sweet of you tysm !! 🥹🩷 have the best day as well! ~
haeon (im still stunned omfg) i don't know if it's the members' signature color or what not but back when i was still pretty new, i did these banners for each of the members (still do) with assigned colors for my masterlist. She liked it and when she changed her theme, she suddenly had similar (literally the same) assigned colors to the members as well (her macarons thing). Don't know if it was just a coincidence, but heck i just said we were twinnin and let it be✌🏻
