On AI Assistance:The story is written entirely by me. I've been dealing with chronic back pain and spinal stenosis for the last three years, so I use AI as an editing aid to help me catch missed words, extra commas, grammar issues, and other small mistakes. All plots, characters, worldbuilding, and story decisions are my own, and I make the final decision on everything that gets published here.
