Terms
These terms describe the participation rules for using Kyn's public creative-response network.
Using the service
- You are responsible for the stories, Spark Notes, reader notes, room posts, Reader Lists, comments, and reports you submit.
- You should only publish material you have the right to publish.
- You may not use Kyn to harass, threaten, impersonate, spam, or mislead other people about public Sparks or parent-story connections.
- Kyn may limit or remove content or access when safety, abuse, or policy concerns require it.
Public Spark rules
A public Spark is an authored claim, not passive metadata. By publishing one, you are stating that the parent-story connection is real, public, and legible enough for readers to follow.
Content and rights
- Do not publish work that infringes someone else's copyright or falsely presents another person's work as your own.
- Do not publish real-person sexual likenesses, nonconsensual real-person material, or material involving minors.
- If Kyn later permits explicit literary work, it must remain fictional, text-first, policy-bound, and subject to review or gating where required.
- Genre and texture help readers find stories. They are not permission to ignore content policy, rights, or moderation rules.
Public and private state
Drafts, draft Spark Notes, private saves, private Reader Lists, and publish-review preparation are private working state. Published stories, public Sparks, public Spark Notes, public Reader Lists, and public room posts are part of the public product.
Availability and iteration
Kyn is still evolving. Features, discovery surfaces, and moderation processes may change as the product learns from real use. Public launch does not mean every system is final, but it does mean the core loop is being treated seriously.
