Terms of use

By using Hearth & Twist, you agree to use the website respectfully and lawfully. You may read and share links to stories for personal use.

Fiction, not advice

Our stories are imaginative fiction, not factual reporting or professional advice. Similarities to real people or events are coincidental unless stated otherwise. AI-assisted works are labeled.

Content and permitted use

Do not republish full stories or illustrations without permission from the applicable rights holder. Linking to a story is welcome. For reuse requests, contact the editor. Rights in AI-assisted material may vary by jurisdiction.

Community participation

By submitting a comment, you permit us to display and moderate it on this site. You remain responsible for your submission. Do not post harassment, spam, personal information about others, unlawful material or content that infringes rights. Comments may be rejected or removed.

Availability and external links

We aim to keep the website available but cannot promise uninterrupted access. Links to third-party services are provided for convenience; those services have their own terms and policies. Saved stories and reading preferences are device-local and can be lost when browser data is cleared.
