Content guidelines

Publish your own work

• Only post stories you wrote, or have permission to post.
• No plagiarism, and no reuploading or translating other people’s work without their permission.
• Fan fiction is welcome. Credit the original work, and don’t copy passages from it.
• If AI tools wrote a meaningful part of a story, say so in the synopsis or the author note.

Label mature content

• Set your story’s audience honestly, and mark it mature when it contains graphic violence, sexual content or other intense themes.
• Use tags for content readers may want to avoid, so they can choose what to read.
• Sexual content involving minors is never allowed, whatever the setting or claimed age.

Not allowed anywhere

• Harassment, threats, doxxing or targeting real people.
• Hate speech that attacks people for who they are.
• Content that promotes or gives instructions for real-world harm.
• Spam, scams, and misleading links or advertising.

Comments and reactions

• Critique the writing, not the writer. Be kind, even when a chapter isn’t for you.
• Mark spoilers as spoilers.
• Don’t spam chapters to promote your own story.
