About

What the site is, how it works and why it works that way is on the front page. This page is who runs it and how to reach them.

What this is for

Exhale is for writing: stories, essays, ideas, drafts, the piece you're not sure about yet. The anonymity here exists to protect the work's first reading, not to make speech untraceable. It is not a place to harm people from behind a curtain — pieces that use it that way get removed. Everything else belongs here, especially the writing you almost didn't publish.

Who runs it

One operator, who is also the only moderator. Every published piece carries a report link; that queue is the whole moderation system and doubles as the copyright contact. Its actions are taking a page down and deleting a flagged comment. See the terms.
