Sparklo's community exists so creators can share their work safely and readers can find stories they love — without harassment, theft, or surprise. We welcome dark themes, complex relationships, horror, trauma, and adult fantasy between fictional adults. Dead dove fiction has a home here — as long as it's labeled. We don't judge your tropes; we ask you to tag them.
The Sparklo community is for adults. By entering it, you confirm that you are 18 or older. An adult space is not an anything-goes space — every upload still has to follow the rules below.
We also remove: sexual exploitation of any kind, doxxing and private personal information, impersonation, encouragement of self-harm or suicide, terrorism advocacy, hate content targeting protected groups, illegal goods or services, scams and spam, unauthorized third-party IP presented as original, and malicious code in themes or presets.
Pick the closest rating. Tag your warnings honestly — warnings are how readers choose, not how we judge you. Disclose adaptations, collaborations, and authorized reposts. Confirm the three declarations at upload.
Everything is reviewed before it goes live. If something slips through, readers can report it. Reports go to a human — report volume never triggers automatic removal, and coordinated mass-reporting is folded into a single case. Hard-line violations are removed first and reviewed after; anything else starts with a conversation (fix a tag, adjust a description) rather than a takedown.
Enforcement is private: no public strikes, no shame wall. If your content is actioned, you'll be told which rule and why. Intimate-image (NCII) reports are handled urgently, within legal deadlines.
You keep full ownership. Every upload is timestamped and fingerprinted — if someone re-uploads your work, we have the receipts. Protected content never leaves Sparklo in plaintext. We are not a copyright court: in disputes we act on our records and our rules, not on ownership claims we can't verify.
These guidelines are versioned. We announce meaningful changes before they take effect — no silent edits.
A stated age of 17 → removed. A "high school student" identity combined with sexual content → removed. A youthful art style with an adult setting and no child-coded descriptions → not a violation. An adult character's school-days memories, outside sexual content → unaffected.
The tag warns about story elements; the hard line is about the selling point. Self-check: remove that non-consensual scene — does the card still stand? If yes, it's a story element. If not, it's the selling point.
The community is a public distribution channel, and likeness rights are a risk the platform cannot absorb for you. Local, private use is unrestricted. Highly realistic AI-generated faces are treated the same; clearly stylized original art is fine.
A different name, a fictional identity, and no reliance on their real biography → treated as fiction. Using the real name, or making clear "it's really that person" → removed.
Yes — declare them as derivative or fan work in the source declaration, and never claim them as fully original. A small set of third-party IPs is restricted and will be declined at review.
They must not contain malicious code, tracking, phishing links, or attempts to evade review.
We compare first-upload timestamps, content fingerprints, and material from both sides, then keep the item up, take it down, or mark it disputed. We don't transfer attribution.
For now, use the in-app feedback entry and mention "appeal" — a dedicated appeal flow is coming later.
Effective July 2026. These guidelines are incorporated into the Terms of Service by reference.
