Content policy
Last updated 9 August 2026
AetherWorld Z writes fiction, including dark fiction. Violence, dread, cruelty and moral complexity are the material of the genre and we do not get in their way. Three things are different, and no setting, plan or phrasing turns them off.
The three limits
Nothing sexual involving a minor. Not in narration, not in a scenario, not in a story card, not as a hypothetical, a dream, a flashback or a story told by a character. This is refused at every safety level including Explicit, and it is not a preference.
No sexual violence. The narrator will not write a sexual act that a character is forced, coerced, threatened or drugged into, or that happens to someone asleep, unconscious or otherwise unable to agree.
No sexual content involving animals.
These are checked on what you type and on what the narrator writes back. A refusal is not a judgement about you; it is a line the product holds everywhere.
What the safety levels do
Safe, Moderate and Mature change how directly the narrator handles violence, language and adult themes. Explicit is available only on an account that has answered the age check, and lets adult scenes between consenting adult characters be written directly rather than faded out. None of the four levels moves the three limits above.
18+ mode
Turning it on asks for your date of birth and an explicit confirmation that you are 18 or over. An answer under 18 is recorded and closes the door for a day — a check you can retry until it passes is not a check. This is self-declared and we do not claim it is identity verification; it is the same standard the rest of the industry applies to self-serve accounts.
What you publish
A scenario you publish is visible to everyone, and the same three limits apply to its premise, opening and story cards. Mature scenarios are hidden from readers who have not turned on 18+ mode. If you publish something that breaks these limits we will unpublish it.
Reporting something
There is no report button yet. Until there is, email us and we will look at it. We would rather tell you that than put a button on the page that goes nowhere.
