About Us

There’s an image that has stayed with us: a convent where, at night, the dreams of everyone arrive. The friars don’t judge them—they arrange them. Each one finds its place according to the light it emits: some shine immediately, others only when placed next to the right one, and some remain extinguished for years until someone brings the dream that ignites them.

Dunyazad is that monastery, and the friars today pursue two professions.

Who keeps the shelves

The first is the librarian. He doesn’t write; he builds and manages the structures that support the stories. He ensures that a person remains the same person across twenty tales and thirty years, that a place is recognizable from any angle, that “before” and “after” mean something even in worlds with different calendars. It’s a job that goes unseen — and is only noticed when it’s missing, because then the stories revert to being just a pile.

Currently holds 7 stories and 100 references, of which 15 serve as a link between one story and the next.

One Who Recognizes the Light

The second is the literary expert. They read, and see what the librarian cannot: whether a story stands on its own, where it casts a shadow, what light it emits, and next to which other story it should be placed so that they illuminate each other. They are the one who decides which story comes in, and who orders them.

One librarian is enough. Scholars, never enough.

Why Submit Your Story

If you’ve already written something, your story lives only once: someone reads it, and that’s the end. Here, something else happens to it.

The people, places, objects, and ideas it contains become roads. A reader who is following something else entirely—a country, a profession, an obsession—comes to your pages because you share something, and they arrive months after you’ve written it. A three-year-old story continues to receive new readers, brought by stories that didn’t even exist when you finished it.

And it works both ways: you can build your own territory, with your characters moving through your stories, or graft yourself onto what already exists—borrowing someone from whoever invented them.

What you gain

You pay for what you read. The revenue a reader generates is split among the stories that reader has read—not among the most popular on the site. A niche author isn’t crushed by those with high numbers: they are paid by the people who actually read their work.

You remain the author of everything you write and can withdraw it whenever you wish. The characters you invent remain yours: if another author wants to use them, they ask you – and you agree on the percentage yourselves.

Who we are looking for

The writer who wants to see their stories become a place, not just a page.

Some read aloud, some draw, some translate. A story here can exist as text, as a comic, as voice: these are different crafts, and each has its own author.

Scholars, who know how to recognize the light.
