  • Plain Smut (uncensored filth)

  • R. J. Thornwell (literary queer saga)

Content may not be copied, distributed, republished, or used in derivative works without explicit written permission.

3. Reader Conduct

This is a space for reverence, not harm. Hate speech, harassment, or abusive behaviour will result in permanent banning. Comments, replies, and submissions must honour the emotional and sexual boundaries of others.

4. Payment and Billing

Subscription prices are listed at rowanthornwell.com and within the Substack paywall options. Founding members and referrers may receive additional perks as outlined in the referral programme.

Payment is handled via Substack and Stripe. You can manage your subscription, update payment details, or cancel at any time via your Substack account settings.

5. Privacy

Your data (email address, open rates, referral activity) is managed by Substack and subject to their Privacy Policy. I do not share your information, nor do I send unrelated marketing content.

6. Adult Content

This publication contains explicit material intended for adult audiences (18+). By subscribing, you affirm that you are legally permitted to view adult content in your jurisdiction.

If you're underage or squeamish about sex, longing, queer desire, power play, or devotion that sometimes gets dirty, this is not the place for you.
