A few things to know.

These stories are fiction

The stories published here are works of fiction. Characters, organizations, dialogue, and events are invented or used fictionally unless expressly stated otherwise. A fictional character’s views do not necessarily represent the publisher’s views.

Stories involving legal, medical, criminal, or historical matters are entertainment, not professional advice or factual reporting.

AI-assisted content

Some stories and artwork may be developed using artificial intelligence. AI-assisted stories are labelled on their overview pages. AI can introduce inconsistencies or unintended similarities, so we welcome reports of errors or rights concerns. We do not promise that any work is completely unlike every other work online.

Reader discretion

Suspense and horror may include grief, danger, distress, death, or frightening situations. Story pages provide content notes to help you choose. Those notes are a guide and may not describe every potentially upsetting detail.

Reading time and availability

Reading times are estimates based on approximately 225 words per minute. Your pace may differ. Ongoing stories can change as new chapters are published or revisions are made. Browser-stored progress may be lost if local data is cleared.

Free access is permission to read, not a blanket licence to republish, sell, or redistribute the site’s protected material. Contact us about reuse. Any rights reserved apply only to the extent rights exist under applicable law; this notice does not claim exclusive ownership of ideas or material that cannot be protected.

Links and future advertising

External links are provided for convenience. We do not control third-party content or privacy practices. Advertising, if introduced later, will be identified and will not turn a story into an endorsement of an advertised product.
