Dusk Haven

Hello everypony!

I wanted to speak openly for a moment regarding recent concerns that have been brought to my attention. 

Some of my posts and writings—particularly those involving my character, Dusk Haven—have been flagged by AI detectors and raised questions about whether I rely on generative AI to write them. I understand why the staff and community take authenticity seriously, and I appreciate being given the chance to address this directly.

So let me be clear.

My writing is my own.
The characters, emotions, lore, and worldbuilding I share come from me—my life, my history with storytelling, and many years of writing and roleplaying. I occasionally use small tools for grammar checks or rewording sentences when I get stuck, but I do not use AI to write my posts for me. Grammarly Pro is my go-to for this. I put my heart into every one of them.

I also understand that my writing style—long-form, poetic, emotionally layered—can sometimes resemble what AI detectors flag. But AI detectors are not perfect. They often mistake creative or formal writing as artificial. Many writers, especially those who write with emotion or in great detail, are being unfairly penalized.

I don’t want this to create division or drama. I love this community. I’ve felt welcomed here. I’ve made genuine connections with real people, and I want that to continue, built on honesty and respect.

To the staff: thank you for speaking to me directly rather than assuming evil intent.
To the community: thank you to those who have supported me, written with me, and treated me with kindness.

If needed, I’m willing to:

• Be more transparent about when I use small writing tools (like grammar checking),

• Adjust the length or style of my posts

But I want you all to know this: I write because I love it.  Always have. I have works that demonstrate my consistent flow (mostly, as I've evolved in my style since then) dating back to 2013. I would never want my presence here to be perceived as anything but genuine.

Thank you for hearing me out. My door (DMs on Discord of Direct messaging) is open if anyone wishes to talk—kindly, respectfully, pony to pony.

Yours in twilight,

Dusk Haven
