Community Rules
Community Rules
Duela is a shared fantasy world. These rules exist to keep the project usable for writers, readers, and contributors.
Core expectations
Contributors should:
- Respect the load-bearing parts of the setting
- Credit work they build from
- Label branches clearly
- Avoid claiming ownership over shared canon
- Treat other contributors' work seriously
- Keep disagreements focused on the work, not the person
Content boundaries
Dark stories are allowed.
Horror, tragedy, violence, moral corruption, religious manipulation, predation, war, exploitation, and grief can all exist in Duela.
However, darkness should serve a story.
Content that exists only for shock value may be removed or rejected from canon consideration.
Hard limits
The following are not allowed:
- Sexual content involving minors
- Content that exists purely as sexual exploitation
- Content promoting real-world harm
- Harassment of contributors
- Plagiarism
- Deliberate sabotage of shared pages
- Posting another person's private material without permission
Canon and branches
Not every story needs to become canon.
The default place for stories is the General Collection.
Branches are allowed and encouraged, but a branch must credit the story it grows from.
A branch does not replace the original story.
Major canon changes
Major changes to the setting should be handled carefully.
Do not casually kill, erase, or radically rewrite major established figures, nations, gods, or cosmological rules unless the story is clearly marked as a branch or alternate continuity.
Attribution
Duela uses CC BY-SA 4.0 unless otherwise noted.
Contributors must credit the work they build from.
