In short
Publish work you created or have permission to publish. Use accurate labels and warnings. Talevara can host difficult fiction, but illegality, exploitation, plagiarism, deceptive ownership claims, and serious safety violations are not protected by calling material “fiction”.
1. Rights and authorship
You may publish original work or material you are authorized to publish. Plagiarism, unauthorized reposting, and misleading claims of authorship are prohibited. Translation rights, artwork rights, adaptation rights, and commercial rights can be separate; having one does not automatically give you the others.
2. Fictional depiction versus endorsement
Stories may depict violence, crime, prejudice, abuse, political extremism, substance use, self-harm, sexuality, or other difficult subjects. Moderation should consider narrative context and not automatically treat depiction as endorsement. Content can still be restricted or removed when it crosses into unlawful material, direct facilitation of harm, targeted abuse, sexual exploitation, or other prohibited categories.
3. Mature content and warnings
Creators must use the available age ratings, mature-content labels, and warnings accurately. Talevara may apply additional labels, age gates, discovery limits, or cover/preview restrictions when necessary to prevent unexpected exposure.
4. Sexual content
Sexual content involving minors, sexual exploitation, non-consensual intimate imagery, or illegal sexual material is prohibited. Adult fictional sexual themes may be subject to age restrictions, presentation limits, monetization restrictions, and additional rules based on the final public-beta safety model and applicable law.
5. Violence, self-harm and dangerous conduct
Fictional and documentary treatment can be allowed, but content should not be used to directly encourage imminent violence, provide targeted instructions for serious wrongdoing, or promote self-harm in a way that creates an unacceptable safety risk. Appropriate warnings may be required.
6. Covers, titles, summaries and discovery surfaces
Public discovery surfaces are exposed to people who have not chosen to open the work. Covers, titles, avatars, and summaries may therefore have stricter presentation rules than the body of a mature story.
7. Fan works and existing universes
Fan fiction or transformative work may be permitted where lawful and properly labelled, but the creator is responsible for the rights required in the relevant jurisdiction. Monetization may be restricted where the creator cannot demonstrate the necessary commercial rights.
8. AI-assisted content
Follow the AI Content Policy. Required AI labels are part of truthful story metadata and may affect filters or reader preferences.
9. Interactive branches
All reachable branches, choices, images, character routes, hidden scenes, and generated variants are subject to these rules. A prohibited scene is not exempt because it is difficult to reach.
10. Metadata integrity
Genre, language, completion status, maturity rating, AI label, fan-work status, and other material discovery metadata must not be intentionally misleading.
11. Repeated infringement
Repeated plagiarism, rights violations, deceptive labelling, or serious content-policy violations may lead to publishing restrictions, demonetization, or account action in addition to removal of individual works.
