Hi Everyone!

It's Jeff this year asking for your help to keep our sites up and running. You may well know our sites are run almost entirely on your generous donations! When your donations do not cover all of the cost, the difference comes out of our pockets. We have no ADs on our sites and no Premium Tiers, and No Pay Walls! There is no charge to our authors for hosting their stories, nor any charge for you, the readers, to read them. That was the original agreement in the beginning, and we work hard to keep our promise to keep it that way. Of course, we would appreciate it if you could find a way to donate any amount to help us in our mission to keep our sites AD-free and running. So please check between your couch cushions and under your car seats; any amount will be gratefully accepted. No amount is too small. Seriously!

We thank you very much for all of your help over the years.

Jeff

To make it easy to donate, I have added the Donation Button Below:

Thanks for all of your help allowing us to bring you some amazing stories by our hard-working authors AD Free,

October 21, 2025: A New Scripture?!?
Posted By: Specter

Hi everyone!

I know, it's been a really long time since I've had to crack the seal on the archive but that can be the magic of October sometimes. If anything is going to be found in the shadows, it is often near Halloween...and this is a good one too!

I just dedicated a space in the archive for a brand new author named "Hikaru" and his scripture: "Eternal Echoes: The Story of Aelios and Adrian", which focuses on the current happenings of one of the oldest vampires I have read about in a long time. Not only does this scripture shine a little light on some long sought after history, but it also gives us a glimpse of what that journey looked like for one turned so young. I personally can't wait to see just what drives this one and what has given him the strength to continue on when many others would have gone on that final walk into the sunrise.

Be sure to check out Eternal Echoes: The Story of Aelios and Adrian Don't forget to reach out to Hikaru if you like his work to let him know. Remember, The Elder Comicality wanted these vampires to safeguard their stories here in the archive, let's all let them know they are appreciated!

- Til' the next time... See you out there!

March 11, 2025: It's that time again
Posted By: The Story Lover

Dear Readers,

 

While this is not a good time to be asking for money, unfortunately, we have several domain fees coming due, and finances are extremely tight. Our sites run on your donations and, unfortunately, mainly out of our own pockets. Due to the higher costs of everything our pockets are in not so great shape as well. We are also determined to keep our sites ad-free and free of Premium Levels! However, we can only continue to do this with your help. So please click on the Donate button or this link and give what you can. Any donation, big or small, will be greatly appreciated and go a long way to keep the work of these amazing authours reachable.

 

 TSL for the Fort Family Admins.

September 30, 2024: Moving Help

I would like to say thank you to everyone who has graciously donated to help me move to Massachusetts! We are in the final stretch and we are just a bit shy of our goal.

We need a bit more funds to pay for the gas for the moving truck. Gas prices in my area have started going up, hopefully, that is just here. 

Any amount that you can donate will be a tremendous help in getting me to cleaner air.

Thank you,

August 14, 2024: Help TSL Move to Healthier Air in Massachusetts
Posted By: The Story Lover

Greetings Friends and Fort Family! I am in the process of attempting to improve my living conditions so I can continue the work I do for our online reader community and I do need to ask for help. I need to relocate to Massachusetts in approximately a month or so. I am moving because I am being priced out of where I am living now. I am also moving for health reasons as the air where I am living is not safe for me to breathe for too many months of the year. This is because of the wildfires around me that cause poor air quality for too many months of the year. The poor air quality wreaks havoc on my Asthma. Where I am moving has much cleaner air and no wildfires to concern me. The Medical System there is far better than where I live now.

I am asking for funds to rent a truck, gas for the truck and lodgings for the trip. Jeff P. will be flying out here to help drive me to Massachusetts. Jeff has arranged a place for me to live that is substantially cheaper than where I am now as well as to have friends nearby to help with some of the daily tasks that are simply becoming more difficult than they should be due to the declining condition of my current environment.

I would greatly appreciate any donations to help defer the cost of moving. Any amount would be awesome!

Thanks for caring,

TSL
