1. The Visual Tone
SOULPAD embraces a bold, high-contrast, text-heavy aesthetic. We take inspiration from brutalist web design and Noir-style Manga serialization. Your cover images and story formatting should lean into stark lighting, heavy inks, and mature themes.
2. Content Ratings & Maturity
We welcome psychological thrillers, dark fantasy, and complex character studies. However, content must remain distinct from reality. We operate a zero-tolerance policy for:
- Real-World Violence: Promoting harm against real individuals or groups.
- Illegal Content: Depicting non-consensual exploitation.
- Hate Speech: Slurs or targeting based on protected demographics.
Stories violating these bounds will be paused and subject to review.
3. Community Interaction
Comments should be constructive. Critique the work, engage with the narrative, but do not attack the author. Toxic behavior in the comment sections will result in an immediate and irreversible ban.
Write boldly. Act with respect.
