Fable Community Guidelines

Stories for everyone

At Fable, we believe everyone is the author of their own story. That’s why we’re committed to fostering a community of diverse voices where everyone feels like they belong. To that end, everything our community shares on Fable should be respectful, kind, and authentic. Here are a few guidelines to help keep Fable a supportive and inclusive community of story-lovers.
Be kind and uplifting
Together we can build a positive, welcoming community where everyone feels safe to share their ideas, thoughts, and feedback. Be supportive and respectful of others. Always remember that there’s a human being on the other side of your interactions, and whenever possible, aim to be a bright spot in someone’s day.
Be authentic—but respectful
Didn’t like a book or show? Fair enough—we’ve all been there, and we’d love to hear why! Bringing your authentic voice to Fable will help our community stay exciting and relevant. But there’s no need to go low. Let’s avoid review bombing: books and TV shows should be reviewed based on their merits, not social media campaigns. Please wait until after you’ve read a book or seen a show to review or rate it, and remember: authors and creators are people, too.
Everyone belongs here
Everyone should feel like they’re welcome on Fable. Be inclusive of people of all races, ethnicities, religions, sexes, gender identities, and sexual orientations, and use inclusive language whenever possible. Inclusive language aims to be just that: inclusive of all people. Avoid any offensive or negative expressions that imply ideas that are sexist, racist, otherwise biased, prejudiced, or denigrating to any group of people.
Keep it PG-13
…in public, at least. We love a steamy romance novel, but please keep public posts, quotes, comments, images, and any other content that’s shared in public clubs or on the For You feed respectful and appropriate. If you’re hoping to discuss content that’s more R-rated, feel free to do so in a private club or in direct messages with members 18 and over who have consented to discuss these topics with you!
Give more than you take
We’re here to build meaningful communities around the love of stories, so keep your posts focused on those pillars. No solicitations or spam in posts, comments, and direct or group messages, please!
Zero tolerance for harassment
You should feel free to respectfully challenge ideas, but never directly attack a person. Any posts, comments, or messages that are inappropriate, rude, or aggressive will be immediately removed. Posts that spread misinformation or are otherwise harmful are also subject to removal. Remember: bigotry, discrimination, and hate are never welcome on Fable. If you see a post that violates this policy, please report it. Serious offenders may be banned from the platform. Our harassment policy in more detail:
  • Posts, comments, and direct or group messages must not feature hate speech of any form. Attacking a person or a community based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, disabilities or other attributes will result in removal of posts or comments on Fable.
  • Posts, comments, and direct or group messages must not share any user's private information (such as home phone number or address). Posts and comments must not threaten to expose anyone’s private information or help others to do so.
  • Posts, comments, and direct or group messages must not feature obscene, lewd, or pornographic content. This includes any links to videos, podcasts, images, or other media that contains this type of content.
  • Posts, comments, and direct or group messages must not promote the ridicule, mocking, disparagement, intimidation, harassment, or abuse of anyone. This includes repetitive or severely negative comments that may cross the line into harassment, as well as wishing or imagining the abuse of another person.
  • Posts, comments, and direct or group messages must not incite or threaten physical harm against another, or encourage self-harm or suicide. This includes, but is not limited to, encouraging others to hurt themselves or embrace eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia.

  • In general, posts, comments, and direct or group messages must not promote, encourage, or engage in any illegal behavior, including the sale, purchase, or sharing of illegal goods or services. This will result in removal of posts and comments from Fable, the Fable account associated with the posts and comments may be revoked.
All posts, comments, and direct or group messages are subject to review by Fable admin and Fable support at any time.
