Read this before you submit a story. Short version: your story stays yours, the strip belongs to us, you get credited and celebrated. ❤️
Story Submission Terms
Last updated: May 31, 2026
The Short Version
You share your story. We might turn it into a strip. If we do, the strip belongs to Haidiho. You get credited and celebrated. Nobody makes money off your story without your name being attached to it.
1. What You're Submitting
A story about your real experience working with AI. Something funny, instructive, relatable, or all three.
2. What You Keep
Your story is yours. You can tell it anywhere, post it anywhere, do anything you want with it. Submitting to Haidiho doesn't take that away from you.
3. What You're Granting
By submitting a story you grant Haidiho an irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to:
- Use your story as inspiration for Hai and DiHo cartoon strips
- Publish adapted versions of your story in strips, newsletters, and on the site
- Create derivative works based on your story including but not limited to cartoon strips, animations, merchandise, and other creative formats
Any strip created from your story is owned entirely by Haidiho including all characters, artwork, dialogue, and creative elements in that strip.
4. Credit
If your story inspires a strip we will credit you by your chosen username or name unless you request anonymity. Credit is our standard practice but does not constitute compensation.
5. What You're Confirming
By submitting you confirm that:
- This story is your own original experience
- You have the right to share it
- It doesn't violate anyone else's privacy or confidentiality
- It doesn't contain confidential company information you're not permitted to share
6. No Compensation
Story submissions are not compensated financially. The credit, community recognition, and being part of the Haidiho world is the exchange.
If this changes in the future we'll communicate clearly with the community.
7. Moderation
We review all submissions before publishing or using them. We may decline submissions for any reason. Submitting does not guarantee use.
8. Questions
These terms deal with intellectual property assignment. Professional legal review is recommended before Haidiho generates significant revenue from community-inspired content.
