Shadowbound

Shadowbound is a space for dark supernatural romance — where desire is tangled with danger, love turns obsessive, and intimacy carries consequences.

This group exists to explore stories, poems, art, and conversations centred on dark romantic tension shaped by the unreal. The supernatural should be integral to the relationship and its stakes, not merely decorative.

Poetry, short fiction, excerpts, artwork, mood pieces, prompts, and discussion are all welcome here. Participation is always optional, and this space values atmosphere, emotional escalation, power dynamics, longing, obsession, and restraint.

Each month, selected work from the group will be chosen for publication in the Shadowbound monthly magazine. Selection is curated and intentional — this group is not a formal submissions portal.

Content boundaries (non-negotiable)

The following are not allowed:

• Sexual content involving minors

• Sexual harm to or involving animals

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

  
  

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

Shadowbound is for those who enjoy romance that is dark without being careless, sensual without being shallow, and supernatural without losing emotional weight.

Read generously. Respond thoughtfully. Create with purpose. 🖤
