On FictionLab, there are many ways through which you can customize your experience when engaging with the site.
User Settings
Under your User Profile, you can click User Settings to set a few things that will affect what you see when navigating FictionLab.
Options that can be found under User Profile's Settings
Here is an explanation for each option:
Public Favorite Scenarios - When toggled on, this allows your favorite scenarios (the ones which you clicked Favorite on) to be displayed on your Profile Overview for others to see.
Hide from Leaderboard - When toggled on, this hides your profile from appearing on the Leaderboard. This also affects visibility of Leaderboard badges.
Open Keyboard After Response - When toggled on, this sets focus to the chat box after the AI has finished generating its reply. On mobile, this will open up the keyboard.
Show Mature Content (18+) - When toggled on, this will first ask if you are 18+ and then open up Content Preferences. Read more about this on the next section.
Show Mature Content Option
On FictionLab, the default view is non-Mature or SFW (safe for work) scenarios. To view Mature or NSFW (not safe for work) scenarios, you need to click the Show Mature Content toggle either under User Settings or on FictionLab's homepage.
FictionLab will ask you to confirm your age. Mature content is 18+ only.
After confirming your age, FictionLab will ask for your content preferences.
Under Customize Preferences, you can choose which themes to block,
where they are checked and how they are handled.
Using the content preferences:
Mature Content is not limited to sexual themes. It also covers violence, gore and other dark themes.
You can choose to hide scenarios by their Mature cover images only, or you can hide any Mature content that can be found in the scenario details as well.
Filtering content gives you the options to fully hide them, fully blur them, or to allow viewing when you hover over the scenario.
These preferences can be changed any time when you toggle Show Mature Content.
Feed Preferences
Under User Profile's Settings, you can also manage what you see on your homepage.
Here is an explanation for each option:
Genre Preferences - You can choose which scenarios will appear on your homepage based on their scenario tags. Read more about this in the next section.
Blocked Users - When you block a FictionLab User, their scenarios will not appear on your homepage including Featured Scenarios. However, you can still access their profile overview or view their scenarios via a direct link. And as of writing, you will still be able to see their comments.
Hidden Scenarios - You can hide a scenario by clicking "Not Interested" under a scenario's options.
Genre Preferences
On FictionLab, you can use scenario tags to populate your homepage with whatever you prefer to see and interact with.
