our success stories say it best:
  • “I came to FanStory in 2004 when I was a 34-year-old widow, single mom. Now, it is 2025 — I am almost 55, and my daughter is almost thirty. I’ve learned so much in the last 20 years: poetic forms, meter, rhyme, prose stories, dialogue. I’ve made online friends - the community here is amazing and helpful. ”

  • “FanStory has something for writers and readers of all levels. You don’t need ink or paper — just courage and humility. Writing is a subjective art, and FanStory is your canvas. Get to painting.”

    Lancellot, with FanStory since 2006

  • “What began as a space to share words grew into a circle of friendships I deeply cherish. Strangers became encouragers. Poets and storytellers reached out not just with reviews but with prayers, laughter, and light when I needed it most. They helped me find my voice when it trembled. They believed in me until I remembered how to believe in myself.

    FanStory has been the thread that stitched together not just my stories but parts of me that felt broken. ”

  • “FanStory proves a great family for everyone — from aspiring serious writers, to retirees engaging in a beloved hobby, to veteran published writers wishing feedback on new work. It’s a great place for new writers who wish to dip toes in creative word-water.”
