Situate Editions

Your story

The basics — title, language, author identity.

Title

One-line abstract (optional)

Source language

Pen name (optional)

If different from your legal name.

F1 — Where does your story happen?

Click on the map to drop a pin for each scene. You can drop up to 6. Drag pins to fine-tune their position. Pin order = narrative order.

0/6 pins

Drop at least one pin on the map first.

No pins yet. Click on the map to place your first scene.

Total: 0 words. Required range 800–2,500.

Why these places, in this order? (the relocation test)

At least 50 words (currently 0). What would break if the route were moved or reshuffled? Cite specific local features — geography, transit, language, ritual — not the mood of the city.

F2 — Your relationship to these places

All six are equally valid — this just tells us your distance.

Duration / dates

If disclosing your relationship to this place could endanger you — exile, dissident writing, ongoing safety concerns — tick the box and we will hold the affinity in confidence and publish a redacted note in its place. (Constitution v0.2 / P4)

I request confidentiality for safety reasons.

F3 — Fiction or based on reality?

Fiction. People, events, conflicts are invented or altered enough to be unrecognizable.Based on reality. Real events or real people I witnessed, experienced, or carefully researched.

F5 — AI in writing this piece

Be honest. AI translation ≠ AI creation. (Translator-side AI is logged separately on every translation row.)

Human-written. No AI used in writingHuman-written, AI-translated. I wrote the original; AI handled translation or copy-edits on the language layerAI-assisted. AI helped me brainstorm or rewrite parts, but the imagining was mineAI-created. AI authored or substantially revised the prose — flagged for editorial review (P10)

Notes (optional)

F6 — Known harm risks

Heads-up to the editorial team. Disclosing risks doesn't auto-reject — hiding them is what creates problems later.
