This is revision 1 of this page, effective September 24, 2026. Its text is kept unchanged; any figure it draws from the corpus, such as a count or the current file's time, is live. The current revision is in force.

Terms

These are the terms of publishing a message here. They are short because there is little to negotiate: a message, once published, is public, permanent, and in the public domain.

Who may write

Anyone 18 or over. The archive publishes each message permanently, with figures describing how it was typed, and that cannot be squared with the consent of a minor. By publishing you state that you are 18 or over.

Three messages, one at a time

Each person may leave three messages. They are written one at a time: publishing a message issues a key for the next, and the key unlocks one week after publication. Keys never expire; a set stays open indefinitely, and a second message written years after the first is welcome.

There is no account and no recovery. The key is shown once, on the confirmation page, and stored nowhere else. A lost key forfeits the remaining messages.

What is published

The message, exactly as written, with trailing whitespace trimmed and nothing else changed. The date and time of submission. Whichever of the four optional fields you set. The composition score and the typing figures beneath it. The message's position in your set and links to the others. Nothing more: no name, unless you write one in the message.

A message may be up to 10,000 characters. There is no minimum beyond a non-empty message.

Public domain

Pressing "Publish and release to the public domain" is your own dedication of the message to the public domain under CC0 1.0 Universal. The archive cannot make that dedication for you; you make it by pressing the button. After that, anyone may copy, quote, republish, analyze, and train on the message, for any purpose, without asking, and the archive itself relies on this to publish the corpus.

Publish only what you wrote or have the right to release. Do not paste in other people's work.

Never edited, never curated

Nothing is changed after publication. Not a typo, not a name, not a date. The review screen before publishing is the only chance to correct anything.

The archive does not feature, rank, select, or filter entries, and never will.

Removal

Nothing is removed for what it says. Removal happens only under legal compulsion: a court order, or a demand the operator is legally obliged to honor. When that happens, the entry's address stays, its place in the index stays, and the page shows the date of removal and the legal basis. The corpus records the same. Nothing is ever quietly removed.

Requests to remove a message for any other reason, including the writer's own change of heart, cannot be granted. This is the meaning of permanent.

What the page records

While you write, the page records how you type, not which keys: the times at which text was inserted, deleted, or moved, and whether any text arrived by paste. It sends only that stream of timestamps and event types to the server, which computes the summary figures shown on every entry and discards the stream. Nothing about which characters you typed ever leaves your browser except the finished message.

The service keeps a salted hash of your network address for one day, to limit bulk first submissions, and nothing else about you. There are no analytics, no cookies, and no third-party assets on any page. The writing page keeps a small count in your browser's storage of how many sets have been started from it.

The composition score

Each entry carries a composition score, from 0 to 100, computed at submission from the typing figures using the published method. It describes how the text was composed; it does not decide whether a message is published. Nothing about the figures stops a submission.
