WHAT IS AN iKPROFILE?

An iKProfile is short for InnerKiller Profile, a fan-submitted, fully fictional psychological profile of a female serial killer. It is not a full story. It is the foundation of one.

iKProfiles explore:

  • Internal psychology

  • Emotional history

  • Motivations and contradictions

  • Coping mechanisms, rituals, and blind spots

This profile becomes the blueprint for potential Toe-Tagged Tale adaptations — InnerKiller’s psychological crime stories built with restraint, ethics, and depth.

how iKProfiles become Toe-Tagged Tales

WHO ARE YOU CREATING?

You are creating the mind behind the acts, not a caricature.

Your character may be:

  • A vigilante shaped by unresolved trauma

  • A woman unraveling beneath control, obsession, or grief

  • Someone terrifying precisely because she feels possible

We are not interested in monsters without motive. We are interested in psychological truth.

WHERE YOUR CREATIVITY MATTERS

As an iKCreator, you control the origin.

Your submission influences:

  • The emotional tone of a character

  • The moral complexity of her arc

  • The thematic direction of a future Toe-Tagged Tale

If approved, your iKProfile may be adapted by the InnerKiller Creative Team. You may be contacted for clarification, refinement, or collaboration.

This is not content extraction. It’s a creative partnership.

CREDIT & COMPENSATION

Approved iKCreators are recognized and compensated when their work is used, according to our publishing framework.

At a glance:

  • One-Time Submission Compensation
    Approved iKProfiles receive a one-time submission payment.
    Unapproved submissions are not compensated.

  • Print Royalties
    If an approved iKProfile is selected for printed publication, the iKCreator is entitled to royalties from print sales. An online-only publication does not qualify for future royalties.

  • Creator Credit
    If adapted into a Toe-Tagged Tale, your name or pen name is credited on both digital and print publications.

Compensation and credit are documented and handled transparently.

WHY DEPTH & DESCRIPTION MATTER

Detail is not about impressing anyone. It’s about precision — and often, processing.

Many creators discover that writing psychologically grounded fiction becomes a safe way to explore:

  • Emotional patterns

  • Moral conflict

  • Trauma responses

  • Questions they’ve never had language for

InnerKiller does not sensationalize violence. We examine it — carefully, responsibly, and with boundaries.

BEFORE YOU CONTINUE

A Moment of Clarity

InnerKiller welcomes difficult material — but not everything belongs here.

Before creating your iKProfile, we want to be transparent about our boundaries. This protects you, our readers, and the integrity of the work.

A Final Note

These boundaries aren’t here to restrict creativity — they exist to focus it.

The most unsettling stories aren’t the loudest. They’re the ones that feel possible. If your concept lives in that space, you’re exactly where you need to be.

iKProfile Frequently Asked Questions

For First-Time Creators

  • No.

    You don’t need professional writing experience, perfect grammar, or a polished voice. iKProfiles are about clarity of thought, not literary performance.

    If you can describe a character’s mindset, emotional history, and motivations in your own words, you’re already qualified.

  • No — and it shouldn’t be.

    All iKProfiles must be entirely fictional. While you may use real locations or time periods for grounding, you must not reference real individuals or real criminal cases.

    InnerKiller does not recreate real crimes. We explore fictional psychology within ethical boundaries.

  • Because female violence is often misunderstood, oversimplified, or ignored altogether.

    InnerKiller examines female serial killers as psychological constructs, not cultural stereotypes — exploring motive, trauma, agency, and contradiction without glamorization.

    This focus allows for deeper, more nuanced storytelling that challenges assumptions rather than reinforcing them.

  • No.

    We don’t celebrate harm. We examine why harm occurs in fictional contexts, and what it reveals about the human mind.

    Submissions that rely on shock, gore, or fantasy without psychological grounding are not approved.

    Restraint matters here.

  • You’re creating the mind behind the story.

    An iKProfile is not a full narrative. It’s a psychological foundation — a structured exploration of who this character is, how she thinks, and why she behaves the way she does.

    Think of it as designing the architecture before the building exists.

  • If approved:

    • Your profile may be featured on our iKProfiles page

    • It may be adapted into a Toe-Tagged Tale by the InnerKiller Creative Team

    • You may be contacted for clarification or refinement

    Approval does not guarantee publication — but it opens the door.

  • No.

    If clarification or edits are needed, we contact you directly. Collaboration is respectful and transparent.

    Your original concept remains yours.

  • Dark does not mean unsafe — unexamined darkness does.

    We welcome difficult themes when they’re handled thoughtfully and responsibly. However, your submission should never be a direct retelling of personal events or identifiable real-world harm.

    If you’re unsure, write with distance and care. Fiction creates a buffer — use it.

  • It can be — but it’s not therapy.

    Many creators find that exploring fictional psychology helps them process complex emotions, patterns, or questions in a safe, contained way.

    That said, InnerKiller is a creative platform, not a mental health service. Write from curiosity, not compulsion.

  • Most hesitation comes from misunderstanding what we’re looking for.

    We’re not judging:

    • How extreme your character is

    • How shocking your ideas are

    We are looking for:

    • Psychological clarity

    • Internal logic

    • Respect for ethical boundaries

    If your character feels real in your mind, that’s a strong start.

  • Typically 7–14 business days.

    We review every submission carefully. Quality matters more than speed.

  • Of course, yes.

    Feedback is always delivered privately, respectfully, and without judgment. Not every concept fits our framework — and that’s okay.

    Revisions may be invited.

  • There’s no single right way — but there are boundaries.

    Stay fictional. Stay grounded. Stay psychological.
    Let curiosity lead, not spectacle.

    If you do that, you’re already aligned with InnerKiller.

  • If you’re asking that question, this space was probably built for you.

    You’re allowed to explore — carefully, ethically, and creatively.

What We’re Not Looking For

Clear Boundaries. No Guesswork.

InnerKiller welcomes depth, discomfort, and difficult themes — but not everything belongs in this space. To protect creators, readers, and the integrity of the work, here are the types of submissions we won’t accept.

If your idea falls into any of the categories below, it will not be approved.

  • We do not publish content based on:

    • Real serial killers

    • Real victims

    • Ongoing or historical criminal cases

    • Thinly veiled retellings of real events

    Fiction means fiction — not rebranding real harm.

  • We are not looking for:

    • Gore as a substitute for psychology

    • Graphic violence without internal reasoning

    • Excessive cruelty is meant only to disturb

    If violence exists, it must serve character and consequence — not spectacle.

  • InnerKiller does not promote:

    • Violence as empowerment

    • Killing as moral superiority

    • Characters portrayed as flawless, untouchable, or justified in all actions

    Complex does not mean celebrated.
    Dark does not mean rewarded.

  • We do not accept:

    • Vampires, demons, angels, or immortals

    • Magical abilities or paranormal explanations

    • Sci-fi, fantasy, or myth-based logic

    All iKProfiles must remain grounded in psychological realism.

  • We are not looking for:

    • Direct retellings of personal trauma

    • Characters clearly representing yourself or someone you know

    • Confessions disguised as fiction

    Fiction creates distance. Please use it.

  • We do not accept:

    • Sexual violence written for titillation

    • Exploitation framed as aesthetic

    • Harm is used to provoke rather than examine

    If sexual trauma appears, it must be handled with restraint, purpose, and care.

  • We are not interested in:

    • Characters who are violent “just because.”

    • Flat villains without emotional depth

    • Profiles that list actions but avoid inner life

    Motivation matters. Psychology matters.

  • InnerKiller does not publish:

    • Content targeting real-world protected groups

    • Violence framed around ideology, hate, or supremacy

    • Narratives that reinforce real-world harm

    Fiction does not excuse impact.
