WeStory Community Terms
Version 2026-10-09.2. WeStory provides community story rooms for adults 18 and older. Before contributing, accept these rules and the Privacy Policy.
Your account and room access
The website offers optional LazyingArt password sign-in. WeStory links the shared account identifier and display name to your WeStory account and uses delegated sessions as described in the Privacy Policy; it does not receive your central password. Native apps currently use personal recovery keys. Browser sign-in does not sign you in to a native app, grant room membership or create a purchase entitlement. Google, Apple and GitHub social sign-in are not enabled.
Each room has its own members, story and agreement. Signing in does not grant access to every room. Editors choose whether joining requires an invitation or is open. Open joining grants reader access by default; contributing requires a contributor invitation or verified eligible access. Creating a room requires an eligible account. A subscription or creator grant does not by itself admit you to a private room. Keep your personal recovery key private; a room invitation is a separate access grant.
A reading link shares published prose only. It does not grant room membership or access to group messages, private notes or unpublished drafts. Editors can turn reading links off. Copies already downloaded or shared by readers cannot be recalled.
Participation and creative rights
Contribute only material you own or have permission to use. You permit WeStory to process, organize and adapt your contributions into the story of the room where you submit them. Publication is not guaranteed. Published collaborative fiction can remain after account deletion, without your name or private source notes. The AI follows that room’s agreed story rules; it does not replace human moderation. Circle conversation is not automatically canon. Private contributions are visible to you and that room’s editors; see the Privacy Policy for AI processing and retention.
Optional AI permission
Reading, reporting and account deletion do not require AI permission. Before contributing, separately allow DeepSeek to receive new contribution and group text, display names, participant identifiers, room rules, published story context and derived suggestions for organizing, replies, drafting and review. You can withdraw this permission in Privacy & account. Earlier queued submissions are not automatically authorized by later permission. Withdrawal stops future processing of unpublished input; it cannot recall provider requests already sent or change published collaborative fiction. See the Privacy Policy for retained operational records and provider processing.
Payments and creator income
This release offers no purchases, creator payouts or revenue-sharing program. Creating or contributing to a room does not promise income, royalties or other compensation. Future payment features, if offered, will need their own clear terms and explicit purchase choices.
Prohibited content
Shared names, room rules, posts and AI output are screened for selected prohibited content before display. Screening is limited and may miss harmful content or flag a passage incorrectly; use Report or contact support for review.
No child sexual abuse or exploitation (CSAE/CSAM), sexual content involving minors, pornography, hate, targeted harassment, threats, encouragement of violence, dangerous criminal instructions, scams, impersonation, spam, copyright abuse or disclosure of private personal data. Do not use the service to exploit others or bypass moderation. Fictional conflict does not justify targeting real people.
Safety and enforcement
Use Report beside group messages, AI responses, ideas or published passages inside a room. Reports go privately to that room’s editors and the WeStory safety operator for assessment, removal or membership restriction. The independent safety queue also accepts concerns about a room owner. You can block a member to hide their messages and shared suggestions from your view in that room. Editors can remove content and revoke access; repeated or severe violations may end membership. Readers using a public link can report a concern through the support link, including the story title and passage number.
For urgent safety concerns, including child safety, contact lachlan.miao.chen@gmail.com. Where required, confirmed child exploitation will be reported to the appropriate authorities. Do not redistribute illegal material in reports or send your personal recovery key. Contact us to appeal a moderation decision.
Leaving and deleting your account
Signing out is separate from deletion and preserves this account’s local drafts on the device. Account deletion is available from Privacy & account, including in an empty lobby, and applies across all your rooms. Rooms you own are archived: AI writing, invitations and public reading links are disabled, and remaining members become readers. Published collaborative prose may remain as described in the Privacy Policy. Deleting a WeStory account using shared web sign-in removes its identity mapping and starts delegated-session revocation and erasure, with retries if needed. It does not delete your central LazyingArt account or other apps' data; central-account deletion must be requested separately through LazyingArt. See the deletion instructions. Deletion cannot be undone.
