r/heatedrivalry

Passionate debates? Yes. Personal attacks, harassment, or hate speech? Absolutely not. Keep it kind, even when you’re Team Shane or Team Ilya all day. This sub will not tolerate individuals belittling cast, crew, the author, or other members of this sub.

This includes: - No belittling of cast, crew, the author, or fellow fans. - No comparisons meant to degrade other MM romance books or works. - We can disagree, highlight differences, and debate, but always respectfully.

No toxic parasocial behavior/posts. Admiration is fine, but crossing into obsession isn’t. Don’t pretend to know the cast personally, speculate about their private lives, or assume sexual identities unless they’ve explicitly shared them.

A new Spoiler Policy is in place and available here. Use spoiler tags for any posts that reveal information from the show during the No Spoiler Period. Let everyone enjoy the tension in real time.

Sharing your fanart or fic? Go for it! But no low-effort spam, unrelated links, or promo without checking in with the mods first.

This sub is for fans of Heated Rivalry, Rachel Reid’s work, and the upcoming series. Off-topic posts may be removed to keep the focus hot and clear.

All gender identities, expressions, and sexual orientations are welcome and respected here. Any form of discrimination, misgendering, or disrespect will not be tolerated.

PLEASE don’t pirate the show (or books). For visibility and future seasons, we need those official numbers.

🚫 No illegal streams/downloads
