We're pretty chill here at Sunset. We allow most forms of content, with the following exceptions:
1. RPF (real person fiction) about real people, alive or not, under the age of 18 at present or in the work;
and 2. any visual artistic depictions of characters under the age of 14 that appear hyperrealistic or could be mistaken as real. If you're not sure, you can email me at symphonicstarship(@)gmail.com.
The only other content rule is that all works posted to Sunset must be femslash. We use a loose definition of femslash that includes unaligned and feminine aligned nonbinary folks here; we leave the decision up to you when it comes to the inclusion of these characters, as long as you'd feel comfortable including them in the term femslash.
We disallow works that are only about canonical men unless the work is specifically about said character having a transfeminine gender identity AND a sexual or romantic relationship with a female or nonbinary character at the same time. Basically: genderswap Destiel where they're cis women? Not suitable for Sunset. Fic about Shawn Spencer realizing she's a woman while dating Juliet? Awesome! If canonically male characters are present in the work, they must fit either the criteria above, or be in a gen (&) relationship with an eligible female or NB character in a work that focuses on sexual or romantic relationships between at least two female/NB characters.
The reason we have this rule is that most of the time, canonically female characters and relationships between them are ignored and underappreciated by fandom. We also recognize that transfem F/F headcanons are similarly ignored. We want to provide a safe space for both. For more information, please read our FAQ.
Oh yeah, important stuff here: SUNSET IS AN 18+ ARCHIVE. Ao3 may be 13+; we are not. PLEASE do not join or attempt to join after September 2025 if you are under 18. I don't know why it says "stuff too" underneath here. Ignore that.
