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. We consider narrative context and do not automatically treat fictional 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. Account creation and Creator Studio are available to active accounts, subject to applicable law and account status. Mature (16+) and Adult (18+) stories require separate rating-specific self-attestation. Community features such as comments and messaging are not currently available. Talevara may apply additional labels, age gates, discovery limits, cover/preview restrictions, or removal when necessary to prevent unexpected exposure, protect minors, or comply with law.
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 age-restricted or otherwise limited based on context 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 a work. Age-restricted stories do not appear in Explore until a reader has signed in, confirmed the matching age, and selected the corresponding rating. Covers, titles, avatars, and summaries of stories available in discovery may still have stricter presentation rules than the body of mature work.
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 details 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. Story detail integrity
Genre, language, completion status, maturity rating, AI label, fan-work status, and other material discovery details must not be intentionally misleading.
11. Repeated infringement and unsafe publishing
Repeated plagiarism, rights violations, deceptive labelling, account use contrary to applicable age and consent law, or serious content-policy violations may lead to publishing restrictions, removal, or account action. Talevara does not currently offer monetization or creator payouts.
