Just realised that it’s a year today that i submitted my first story to the site , I feel like I’ve learn a lot in the last year . Of course I wish I had written things without AI from day 1 , but it was all part of the journey and I’m glad that a year on I am free of AI patterns, though I would never judge others for using AI just as I hope I wasn’t judged or won’t be judged .
All i ever wanted to do was share my ideas and create stories that I and others can enjoy. My stories will never be the best written or appeal to the biggest audience but I do enjoy sharing them and I’m grateful for the opportunity to do so .
To @Corin thank you for your advice your patience and for running the best site . To @Mafisto thank you too , as was grateful when you took the time to read my first non AI story off your own back to reassure me that I wasn’t writing too AI ish still .
And thanks to all the Approvers for reading my stories even if the kinks are not your thing .
Finally grateful to all those that read my stories . And to the other authors on here that have offered so much encouragement, and gave me the courage to express myself fully without the influence of AI .
Thank you guys
