Stories to Sponsor!
Jun. 25th, 2020 05:06 pmI have updated the list of stories available for sponsorship (again), as two new prompt calls have happened, and some of the old stories got sponsored (yay!) I will also include the advisory up front this time: ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
dialecticdreamer writes delightful stories, but they are flypaper for eyeballs (much like ysabetworsmith's), and she writes a TON of stories. Any given story arc has AT LEAST one novel's worth of words in it, and many of the older arcs have several novel's worth. So, as a PSA, do not start reading a new story arc at 9pm on a weeknight if you have to be up for work the next day. Otherwise, go nuts, enjoy the stories, and consider sponsoring one if you have a little extra and something catches your eye!
