Pirr Content Guidelines

Who Pirr Is For

Pirr is a platform for adults (18+) who love exploring stories about love, desire, fantasy and emotional connection. 

You can write anything from a soft, slow-burn romance to dark romance, paranormal fantasy, omegaverse and bold, spicy storytelling - as long as it remains fictional, emotionally grounded and stays within these guidelines.

What do we mean by "emotionally grounded"?

Emotionally grounded doesn't mean every relationship has to be healthy or wholesome. It means characters retain emotional depth, meaningful agency, relational context and narrative consequence, even in morally complex or high-conflict stories. Stories are not driven primarily by degradation, exploitation, torture or suffering as sexual arousal.

Our Core Principles

Every story on Pirr should be built on three foundations:

💗 Romance first - focus on emotion, connection and character depth.
🤝 Consent always - all intimacy must be mutual, clear and freely given.
🌈 Respect always - for readers, creators and the boundaries of real-world harm.

Allowed with Care

You are welcome to explore:

• All orientations and gender identities - love is for everyone.

• Dark or emotionally intense romance - danger, obsession, temptation, possessiveness, redemption arcs and morally grey dynamics. 

• Fantasy, paranormal, monster romance, omegaverse and historical worlds - as long as adult age and consent are clear. 

• Power dynamics - boss/employee, royal/guard, alpha/omega, dom/sub and possessive dynamics - when characters retain meaningful agency and the ability to freely choose, communicate and withdraw consent.  

• Kink and BDSM - when practiced between consenting adults with trust, communication, boundaries and mutual desire. 

• Multi-partner romance, why choose and reverse harem dynamics may be allowed when all characters are consenting adults and the story remains romance-led. 

• Stories inspired by existing fictional worlds and imaginative reinterpretations.

Understanding the Boundaries

These sections explain where Pirr draws the line.
Many of these topics are welcome when handled within our guidelines, while others are never permitted. 

Age & Minors

Non-sexual stories involving family, parenting, children and coming-of-age experiences are welcome. Age-appropriate affection between younger characters - such as crushes, hand-holding or a brief first kiss - may appear when it is not eroticised, explicit or framed for adult sexual interest.

Not allowed:

• Explicit sexual content involving anyone under 18. Stories must not sexualize, eroticize or encourage sexual interest in minors. 

• Characters portrayed with childlike traits in ways that sexualize, eroticize or blur the distinction between children and adults. 

• Age-play, “caregiver/little,” school-based sexual roleplay or ABDL-type scenarios.

• Immortal, shifter, time-travel or fantasy characters presented as underage in body, behaviour or developmental framing within sexualised or explicit romantic contexts.
  
  

Consent

Consent means meaningful choice, agency and the ongoing ability to communicate, give, refuse or withdraw consent.

Fantasy settings, power dynamics, altered emotional or physical states and consensual BDSM do not automatically remove a character's ability to give meaningful consent. The key question is whether the character retains meaningful agency and the ability to freely choose, communicate and withdraw consent throughout the interaction.

Not allowed:

• Non-consensual sex or sexual violence.

• Sexual coercion where a character's meaningful ability to refuse or withdraw consent is removed through force, threat, exploitation, intoxication, incapacitation or coercive control over their safety or freedom.

• Manipulation that removes a character's meaningful agency or ability to freely choose, communicate or withdraw consent. 

• Stealthing, reproductive coercion, or STI deception.

  
  

Family Relations

Family dynamics, parenting and emotional relationships are welcome.

Not allowed: 

• Incest involving close blood relatives or exploitative guardianship or dependency dynamics. 

• Erotic or romanticized family dynamics involving minors.

• If characters discover they are close blood relatives, the romantic or sexual relationship must not continue. 

• Sexualization of pregnancy, childbirth or parenting as a fetish or primary source of arousal.
  
  

Violence & Harm

Violence, peril, action and conflict can exist in a story - especially in dark romance, fantasy, thriller and paranormal fiction - when they serve the narrative and emotional journey rather than becoming the primary source of sexual arousal.

Not allowed:

• Torture, gore, injury, violence or death framed primarily as sexual gratification, exploitation or abuse.

• Romanticizing abuse, self-harm or hate crimes.

Note: Stories are considered in context, including genre, character perspective and narrative framing.

Dark Romance & Kink

Dark romance may explore obsession, possessiveness, danger, fear, emotional conflict and morally grey dynamics. Consensual kink and BDSM are welcome when grounded in trust, communication and mutual desire. Negotiated power exchange, submission, dominance and altered emotional states are not, by themselves, policy violations.

Allowed: 

• Power dynamics, authority roles and possessive dynamics where characters retain meaningful agency and the ability to freely choose, communicate and withdraw consent. 

• Enemies-to-lovers, tension, forced proximity.

• Redemption arcs and protector dynamics.

• Consensual BDSM (bondage, impact, rituals, rules).

Not allowed:

• Coerced intimacy, violence-as-arousal or humiliation based on identity, body, disability, race, religion or sexuality. 

• BDSM where torture, lasting injury, coercion or inability to withdraw consent becomes the primary source of sexual arousal. 

• Fear, injury, torture, suffering or gore as the primary source of sexual arousal. 

• Lack of agency or inability to withdraw consent.
  

Non-Human Content

Allowed: 

• Fully sentient, sapient characters (including non-humanoid beings) who are clearly adults and capable of informed consent. 

To qualify, characters must: 

• Be clearly adults

• Retain meaningful agency and the ability to freely choose, communicate and withdraw consent. 

• Demonstrate understanding of the relationship. 

Not allowed:

• Bestiality or sexual content with non-sentient creatures.

Note: Humanoid form is not required, but human-like emotional and cognitive capacity is.

Bodily Fluids & Hygiene

Bodily fluids should not be used primarily for degradation, humiliation, shock value or fetish spectacle. 

Allowed: 

• Natural intimacy details when not fetishized, including realistic physical responses between consenting adults.

• Vampire feeding is acceptable as ritual or bonding - not as a fetish.

Not allowed:

• Sexualized use of feces, urine, vomit or blood.
  
  

Extreme Sexual Acts

Consensual kink and BDSM are welcome when grounded in trust, communication and mutual desire.

Allowed: 

• Romance-led explicit scenes that show safety, trust and connection.

Not allowed:

• Pornographic spectacle content where extremity, degradation or unsafe acts replace character, consent and emotional context. 

• Injury-focused or medically unsafe acts.

Fantasy & Paranormal Romance

Fantasy, paranormal and omegaverse stories are welcome when grounded in emotional realism. 

Omegaverse dynamics, instinctual attraction, mating bonds and heat-based narratives are allowed when characters retain meaningful agency and the ability to freely choose, communicate and withdraw consent. 

For example: 

Shifters, immortals, vampires and mythical beings are welcome provided they: 

• Are explicitly adults.

• Retain meaningful agency and the ability to freely choose, communicate and withdraw consent.

• Use their non-human nature to deepen emotional storytelling rather than bypass consent or age.
  
  

Stories Inspired by Existing Fictional Worlds

Many writers enjoy exploring familiar worlds, reimagining favourite characters or asking "what if?" through alternate timelines, crossovers and fresh interpretations.

If your story draws inspiration from existing fictional worlds, please ensure it remains your own original creative work and respects intellectual property rights.

Not allowed:

• Copying or closely reproducing protected text or other copyrighted material.

• Presenting another creator's work as your own.

• Misleading impersonation.

Note: Pirr may remove or restrict content where required to comply with intellectual property rights or legal obligations.

Coercion Classification

Fantasy, paranormal and dark romance stories often explore blurred emotional territory. Pirr does not automatically treat tension, instinct, possessiveness or reluctant attraction as violations. The key question is whether characters retain meaningful agency and the ability to freely choose, communicate and withdraw consent. 

Examples:

• “Accidentally inviting a demon” → Fine if it becomes a situation where both parties can communicate and actively choose what happens next. 

• “Lured by a siren’s song” → If the character is compelled or unable to resist, that removes consent → not allowed. If the influence is present but the character can still make a clear, voluntary choice, it can work.

• “Heat or mating bond” → Fine if the character remains aware and able to choose. Not allowed if the bond fully removes their ability to refuse.

In Summary

You can write almost any kind of romance story on Pirr, from soft and tender to dark, dangerous and emotionally intense, as long as it preserves agency, consent and respect for real-world harm.

When in doubt, ask:

Does this story show love, not harm? Desire, not exploitation?

If the answer is yes, keep writing.
