Content Guidelines

What Hush is for

Hush writes explicit romantic fiction for adults, privately, to your own taste. Wide latitude is the point of the product — these guidelines are deliberately short, and they exist because a few kinds of content are prohibited outright rather than merely disfavoured.

Everything Hush produces is fiction, generated by a machine. No story describes real events or real people, and none should be read as doing so.

Never permitted

These apply to stories you generate privately and to stories you publish to the Global list. Attempting to generate this content is itself a breach.

Anyone under 18. No sexual content depicting, describing, or sexualising a person under 18, or any character presented as a minor — whatever the setting, framing, or claimed ages. This one is absolute and there is no context that makes it acceptable. It is the rule we enforce fastest and the one where we will report to the authorities where the law requires it.
Real, identifiable people in sexual situations, without their consent. Public figures included.
Sexual violence presented as real or endorsed. Fiction can go to dark places, and non-consent as a clearly fictional dynamic is within the product's range; content that presents real-world sexual violence approvingly is not.
Bestiality, incest, or anything otherwise unlawful where you or the Service operate.
Harassment, defamation, or threats aimed at any person.
Content infringing someone's intellectual property or privacy.

Publishing to the Global list

Your stories are private to your account unless you publish them. Publishing puts a story in front of other readers, so a little more applies:

Publish your own stories only — ones Hush generated for you.
Do not publish anything containing real names, contact details, or anything else that identifies a real person, including yourself.
Every published story carries its heat level. Do not attempt to disguise what a story contains.
Publishing is limited to one story per week per account. That is a deliberate quality floor, not a bug to route around.

You can unpublish a story at any time from your library, and an operator can remove one from the Global list. Either way you keep your own copy.

Using the Service itself

One account per person. Do not create accounts by automated means.
Do not attempt to bypass rate limits, generation quotas, or the free-story allowance.
Do not probe or attack the Service's security, resell it, or reverse-engineer it.

If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, please report it to us rather than testing how far it goes — see the contact address in the Terms.

Reporting a story

Every published story has a Report control. Reports go to a human review queue, not to an automated filter. You will be asked to pick one of: sexualises a minor; depicts a real, identifiable person; promotes real-world sexual violence; otherwise illegal content; or something else — plus optional detail, which genuinely helps.

Reporting is anonymous to the story's author: they are never told who reported them. If you later delete your account, your reports stay in the queue but stop being linked to you.

Please do not report a story simply because you did not enjoy it or because its content is not to your taste. The Global list is filterable by genre, trope, and heat level for exactly that reason.

What happens when a rule is broken

Depending on severity, we may remove the story from the Global list, suspend the account, or terminate it. Every operator action is recorded in an internal audit trail. Where the law requires it, we report the matter to the relevant authorities.

Hush also runs an automated check comparing a finished story against the preferences it was generated from. That check flags for our own visibility and never blocks a story — it is a quality signal, not a safety control, and it is not what enforces this page.

The binding version

This page is written to be read. The version that governs your use of Hush is section 5 of the Terms of Service; where the two differ, the Terms apply. See also the End User Agreement and the Privacy Policy.
