How Are Stories Credited? #

Each published story is credited with the following details, unless the author requests anonymity:

• First Name
• Last Initial
• Age
• City
• Region or Country

This format allows us to:

• Attribute your voice with dignity while protecting privacy
• Highlight the diversity of experiences across generations and locations
• Optimize the collection for searching and filtering by geography, demographics, and storytelling voice

If you’d prefer to remain anonymous or use a pseudonym, you’ll have the option to indicate that during submission.

We believe in honoring the person behind every story, not just the content, and this simple credit format helps preserve that human connection across our archive.
