TheMasque, The WIKtT Archives, and The Garden have a unique offering!

READ ME A STORY

THE GARDEN, THE MASQUE, AND THE WIKtT ARCHIVES need a new software backbone from which to hang our articles, stories, galleries, and forums. Our elderly servers are being aged out at the hosting company. The software that the sites are built on will, unfortunately, not be supported on any modern server.

That means YOU (and we) get to play!

Are you an author?

Are you a reader?

Are you an audiophile?

Are you an accent whore?

Do you have a favorite short story that you want to have read to you? Do you want to hear it over and over again?

Let me read you a story!

The prize for the first auction round will be choosing one of the people listed on our auction-sound-bytes page to read the short story of winner’s choosing aloud. Anything from a smutty lemon or lime fic to Shakespeare’s sonnets, from an original poem to Goodnight Moon is fair game (within site rules) – the choice is the winner’s!
