terms of service

last updated: August 01, 2026

fanfiction.lol is a small, independent archive run by one person: Brennan Kenneth Brown, a Canadian individual. by creating an account and using this site, you agree to these terms. if you don't agree, please don't use the site.

I.A. general terms

fanfiction.lol is a non-commercial personal project. it does not charge fees, carry advertising, or generate revenue. it is provided as-is, without warranties of any kind — express, implied, or statutory. the site may go down, be slow, lose data, or change. every reasonable effort is made to prevent this, but no uptime or data preservation guarantee is offered.

to the maximum extent permitted by Canadian law, the operator of fanfiction.lol is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of the service, content posted by other users, or any interruption or discontinuation of service. because this is a free, non-commercial service, total liability to you for any claim is limited to zero dollars ($0 CAD). nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, or matters that cannot be excluded under applicable Canadian law.

these terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Canada. by using this site you consent to Canadian jurisdiction for any disputes arising from your use of the service.

I.B. updates to these terms

these terms may change. the date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. continuing to use fanfiction.lol after an update is published constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. for significant changes, notice will be given via the site's news feed or an on-screen prompt at next login.

I.C. no guarantee of availability

fanfiction.lol may be unavailable at times due to maintenance, technical issues, or circumstances outside our control. reasonable efforts will be made to restore service promptly, but no specific uptime is guaranteed. the operator also reserves the right to discontinue the service entirely, with reasonable advance notice where possible.

third-party services used to operate the site — including Cloudflare (CDN and routing), SendGrid (transactional email), and Umami (analytics) — may experience their own outages or policy changes. the operator is not responsible for disruptions caused by these services.

I.D. content you access

fanfiction.lol hosts user-submitted creative works that may include mature, explicit, dark, or otherwise challenging content. the archive's ratings and warning system exists to help you navigate this. by using the site you acknowledge that you may encounter content you find disturbing, offensive, or upsetting.

fanfiction.lol does not pre-screen content before publication. the operator is not responsible for the content of individual user works and does not endorse any views expressed in them. if you encounter content that violates these terms, please use the report function.

I.E. what we do with your content

you retain full ownership of everything you post. by posting content to fanfiction.lol, you grant the operator a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, display, and serve your content to other users as part of normal site operation. this licence ends when you delete the content or close your account.

your content will not be sold or licensed to third parties, used to train generative AI or machine learning models, monetised, or used for any purpose beyond operating this site. this is a permanent commitment.

I.F. what you can't do

by using fanfiction.lol you agree not to:

• — post content constituting child pornography under s.163.1 of the Criminal Code of Canada. this includes written depictions of sexual activity involving persons under 18 where such depiction is the dominant characteristic of the material — not just photographic or video material
• — post content that publicly incites or wilfully promotes hatred against an identifiable group, contrary to ss.318–319 of the Criminal Code of Canada
• — harass, threaten, stalk, or dox other users or real people
• — post content generated by large language models (LLMs) or generative AI tools
• — use the site for commercial promotion, solicitation, or advertising
• — infringe the copyright, trademark, or intellectual property rights of others
• — impersonate any person, entity, or organisation
• — attempt to compromise the technical security or integrity of the site
• — create multiple accounts to evade bans, suspensions, or other moderation actions
• — share another person's private identifying information without their consent (doxxing)

I.G. registration and accounts

to create an account you must provide a valid email address and agree to these terms. you agree to provide accurate information and keep your account details current.

you are responsible for the security of your account and password. the operator is not liable for loss resulting from unauthorised access due to your failure to keep credentials secure. if you believe your account has been compromised, change your password immediately and contact [email protected].

accounts are non-transferable.

I.H. age policy

you must be 13 years of age or older to use fanfiction.lol. by creating an account, you represent that you are at least 13.

explicit content (rated "Explicit") is restricted to users who confirm in their account settings that they are 18 or older. misrepresenting your age to access explicit content violates these terms and may result in account termination.

fanfiction.lol does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. if the operator becomes aware that an account belongs to someone under 13, it will be deleted.

I.I. enforcement

violations of these terms or the content policy may result in content removal, account suspension, or permanent account termination depending on the severity and nature of the violation. the operator has sole discretion over enforcement decisions.

certain violations will result in immediate permanent termination with no warning:

• — posting any content constituting child pornography under s.163.1 of the Criminal Code of Canada (including written material)
• — doxxing a real person in a manner intended to facilitate harassment or harm
• — sustained targeted harassment of a specific user or real person

where legally required, serious violations will be reported to the appropriate Canadian law enforcement authorities.

you may close your account at any time via Account Settings → Delete My Account. see the privacy policy for what happens to your data upon deletion.
