We do not allow any use of generative AI for stories, supplementary images,, etc. No exceptions - Horror Must Be The Focus
The main tone/genre must be horror. Comedy-horror and satirical horror are allowed, but horror has to be the main focus. - Only Diagetic Visuals
Stories may include diagetic images (i.e. are actually apart of the plot itself) but all non-diagetic imagery should be either inckuded as a HYPERLINK or in the comments The only exception are comics as that is a different storytelling media entirely. - Break Up All Posts by 24hrs
Please wait 24hrs between posts. That goes for stories, asking for help, or any other type of post. No exceptions. - Stay Relevant
Please only post content that is relevant to the subreddit. The only content allowed on the main feed are genuine, written submissions( no shit posts, no minimal effort blurbs, etc). We do not allow hype posts, art posts (see Rule 8), writing advice/questions, and narration announcements/inquiries, or personal updates regarding your story. The main feed is not your personal social media page. Creepcast centered content should go in r/creepcast or r/creepcastshitposting. - No Smut/Mock Snuff
While we understand sexual content can be a key part of horror, we do not allow graphic/detailed descriptors of sexual acts (includes rape). If we find your story is too detailed when it comes to sex, we may pull it and ask you to edit it down. - Content Warnings
Please use content warnings (CWs) if your story contains detailed descriptions of rape, child abuse, and suicide. You can include more if you want. For reference, if Borrasca, Spire in the Woods, or Tommy Taffy was posted here, they'd require CWs. - No Blatant Self Promo
Post cannot primarily be promotion. The post must contain an original story. A link to a published book, kofi, etc at the bottom of the post is fine. - All Prompts/Challenges/Collaborations Must be Approved by Mods
Prompts/Challenges/And public requests for collaborations must be approved by mods. Feel free to handle all that off the subreddit (like private DMs, separate server, etc) and present the final product here if you wish, but this is just to ensure things run smoothly and we can prevent potential drama occurring on the sub. - No Callout Posts
Do not post any call-out post about other users, the mods, or other subreddits. Call-out posts never work and only succeed in someone being witch hunted for no reason. Please contact the mods if you have an issue - No Plagiarism/Reposts
We do not allow plagiarism on this subreddit. Anyone caught plagiarizing stories will be permanently banned. We also do not allow reposts of stories from other users/websites/etc even with credit (though you won't be banned for that). If you catch anyone plagiarizing, please do not call them out. Quietly report them to the mods with whatever proof you can provide and we will handle it.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
Let your AI read the rules before it posts.
ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
