Content Guidelines

Effective February 7, 2026

bibli exists to celebrate human storytelling and to protect the writers doing it. What follows is an attempt to say what that commitment means in practice.

Written by humans

bibli is committed to authorial creative sovereignty. The work published here should come from a human imagination, and the decisions that give a story its shape — what happens, who these people are, what a sentence is reaching for — should belong to the author whose name is on it. We don’t believe AI is inherently antithetical to that. Used the way many writers now use it, as a tool in service of a vision that remains entirely yours, it can augment what a writer does rather than supplant it.

So the line we draw is at the prose itself. Research with it, think alongside it, argue with it about what a character would plausibly do, ask it why a chapter isn’t landing — that is your process, and we have no interest in policing it. What we ask is that the sentences a reader encounters were written by you. Work whose prose was generated rather than written falls outside these guidelines, and we unpublish it when we find it.

We acknowledge the harder reality, too. AI has been used to bury emerging authors under volume, and we hold that concern seriously; it lands hardest on precisely the writers bibli was built for, the ones who have no audience yet and whose work is the easiest to drown out. That is why this rule exists. It is not a verdict on writers who use these tools thoughtfully, and it is not a position we hold at a distance from the question — it is a commitment to the people whose work this site is for. If anything, human storytelling matters more now, not less.

Ratings and warnings

Every work carries a rating, and it begins at general. If yours asks more of a reader than that, please say so — the rating and the content warnings live on the series, or on the scene when it stands alone. Readers rely on them to decide what to read, and they only serve that purpose if they are accurate. bibli does not publish sexually explicit material; short of that, difficult subject matter is welcome when it is in service of the story.

When something falls outside

Work that falls outside these guidelines is unpublished, which is to say taken off the public site. It is never deleted. It remains in your writing desk, still yours, to keep or to remove as you see fit, and the rest of your work is unaffected.

If you believe we have read something wrong, please write to bibli.page@gmail.com. A person will read it, and reply.

Still taking shape

This page attempts to explicate a stance; it does not pretend to close the question. What authorship asks of a writer while the tools are changing this quickly, and what protecting it actually requires of a site like this one, are things we expect to keep working out — and we would rather work them out alongside the writers here than in front of them. This page will be revised, and when it is, it will most likely be because somebody wrote in.

So if you have a view, or if something above reads wrong from where you sit, we would genuinely like to hear it. Thank you for being part of this community as we figure out these hard, but oh so important, questions together.
