Community Guidelines

Storified is a global creative community. These guidelines keep the space welcoming for writers of every background and genre.

Be Kind

• Critique the writing, not the writer.
• Assume good faith. Ask before assuming.
• No harassment, hate speech, or targeted abuse.

Write Honestly

• Contribute your own words. Don't plagiarize.
• Disclose heavy AI assistance in contributions.
• Respect the tone and continuity the original author set.

Keep It Safe

• No sexual content involving minors — ever.
• No content that promotes real-world violence, self-harm, or illegal activity.
• Tag mature themes so readers can opt in.

Play Fair

• Don't spam, vote-manipulate, or brigade.
• One account per person.
• Don't try to bypass moderation systems.

Report, Don't Retaliate

If you see something that breaks these guidelines, use the Report action on the content. Our moderators review every report.
