If you’ve been following bookish social media, you’ve probably noticed how aggressive algorithms have become. Major platforms rely heavily on automated moderation tools that restrict, flag, or “shadowban” posts containing overtly sexual or explicit keywords.
To navigate these automated filters safely—while still keeping you informed about what to expect in my stories—I am officially adopting “algospeak” and a standardized rating system across all my social posts, website updates, and story previews.
Instead of writing out explicit keywords that trigger platform filters, I will be using benign terms like “spice” and a visual emoji system to clearly mark story intensity.

What This Means for You as a Reader
-
Clear Expectations: You’ll instantly know the heat level of a story, chapter, or novella before you start reading.
-
Safe Browsing: Using “algospeak” ensures my posts stay visible on your feed without getting hidden or flagged by platform algorithms, so you never miss an update or new release.
Thank you for continuing to support my work as I navigate the changing world of online storytelling!
