I understand your doubts, but I can assure you that this is entirely my own work. For the sake of transparency, let me explain my writing process.
I use a screen reader to operate my PC, which is set up with a spell checker and typo correction, ensuring the text remains free of errors.
Before writing any informative text, I conduct thorough research; in this case, I double-checked the plot and read about the characters, settings, and trivia, not all of which necessarily makes it into the final post.
My style is formal—whenever I explain or narrate, I try to be as precise as possible. This is a defining trait of my writing, as seen in my published books ;).
The process then moves to drafting in Italian, as my English is not proficient enough to write an entire post from scratch. After proofreading the text in Word and making various corrections, I prepare it for publication, and this might be where the issue arises.
Once the text is ready, I paste it into AI mode for formatting. Since I use a screen reader, it does not specify whether I am formatting the text correctly when doing it manually. Next, I proceed with the translation. I admit that it was foolish of me not to clarify this, but I usually publish in both English and Italian. I could have included this detail in the post, but frankly, it didn't cross my mind.
The final step is reading it through in English; I acknowledge my limitations here, and I sometimes take for granted that the AI will strictly follow the prompt to exclusively translate the text without making any changes or additions. Once these steps are completed, I proceed with publication.
I am aware of how this might look, and I calmly accept it if I am disqualified from the contest. However, I want to reaffirm my good faith, as I would never pass off work done or written by others—whether AI or otherwise—as my own.
Thank you for bringing this up, as it has given me the opportunity to be even more transparent.
