Stories for Sponsorship

dialecticdreamer runs two prompt calls every month, and all the stories produced are then available for sponsorship. The current rate is $0.02 a word, so a 1000 word story is $20. In my opinion, every word is more than worth it :D She also posts a bonus story when her prompt calls reach the tip goal (currently $150); the goal helps her pay rent, AND gives everyone an extra story. There are currently leftover stories from multiple prompt calls this year, so go check them out if you want to buy anything. I will include a list of all stories available below, with links to the report, if you want to check what else was written that day.

There are all kinds of stories here, and all of them are awesome! (Even though I have only read the ones I prompted.) Check out the descriptions, and if you like one enough to sponsor, follow any of the links to the reports; they come with a handy "Donate" button! If you like the sounds of the stories but don't have any money, so get out dialecticdreamer's blog anyway. There are plenty of stories (MULTIPLE novels worth) to read, and sponsorship is not required. If you have an idea you are itching to read, come out to the May 25 prompt call and leave your idea!
