Almost certainly. Thanks for asking!

The Story is an amateur project, invented and delivered for the love of it, by people who are also trying to keep down day jobs, with families that barely see enough of them as it is. It will therefore probably be a bit ramshackle, so if you’re able to offer help or advice, we’d hugely appreciate it. We’ll put up some specific needs as we work out more details, but in the interim, if you want to help, please email us at thestory2010 at gmail dot com.

We’re not looking for sponsorship or anything like that, but if you think your company needs to write off some money before the end of the tax year, and by some miracle you’ve ended up here, then you should probably think of giving it to someone else. If you’re adamant you want to give us money, then email us at the address above. We’ll try and talk you out of it.
