Shadowbound welcomes dark supernatural romance where emotional and physical proximity matter.

​

We’re drawn to stories where desire escalates, restraint strains, and intimacy carries real weight. Attraction should feel disruptive — something that complicates choices, shifts power, and leaves lasting consequences. Relationships shaped by obsession, imbalance, longing, devotion, and dangerous attachment are especially welcome, particularly when closeness is deliberate and never neutral.

​

Explicit content is welcome when it intensifies the relationship, deepens emotional or physical power dynamics, or sharpens the story’s tension. Intimacy should feel purposeful, charged, and consequential — never ornamental or included for shock alone.

​

At the same time, Shadowbound has firm boundaries.

​

The following will NOT be accepted under any circumstances:

• Sexual content involving minors

• Sexual harm to or involving animals

• Non-consensual sexual violence, including fetishised or eroticised assault

​

Dark themes, power imbalance, morally grey relationships, and dangerous attraction are welcome only when consent is clear within the story’s context and the material is handled with intent rather than exploitation.

​

If your story made your pulse quicken while writing it — you’re likely working in the right territory for Shadowbound.
