Terms of Service

The terms for reading, interacting with, and submitting material to back to things.

Using the site

back to things is a literary and informational website. You may read, share links to public pages, use the interactive features for their intended purpose, and subscribe to essays, book news, and occasional notes. Do not misuse the site, interfere with its operation, or attempt to access private data.

Writing and artwork

Unless stated otherwise, the writing, artwork, characters, and site presentation belong to Denis Nushtaev or their credited rights holders. Personal, non-commercial reading and ordinary link sharing are welcome. Reproduction or commercial reuse requires permission.

Letters and submissions

You retain ownership of material you submit. Submitting a letter permits the site to store and process it so it can be read and, when contact details are provided, answered. Any additional creative use follows the consent choice presented with the form.

Interactive and AI features

Character conversations and the blog companion are interpretive, experimental features. Their responses may be incomplete or inaccurate and should not be treated as professional advice or as statements made personally by the author.

Purchases and availability

Book purchases are completed by third-party stores and are subject to those stores’ terms. Site features may change, pause, or be removed as the literary project develops.

Questions about these terms can be sent through the Author page.
