Hi Guys!
I promise things are still going on behind the scenes over here. Taking a bit longer than expected because my health/my families health has been over the map.
But, one thing we wanted to go ahead and get started is this-
We’re asking for your book reviews. Any books that deals with trauma, in any size- if it was helpful to you.
The original idea started with reviews leaning towards workbooks and non-fiction, but I’m obviously a strong believer in the power of fiction narratives.

Hey y’all,
A few people expressed an interest in donating straight cash rather than waiting for a short story they might be interested in.
Our goal is currently 255 dollars which would cover both the paperwork necessary to become a non profit and server hosting.
We have made it up to 82 dollars thanks to 6 lovely individuals.
For just a little bit more, I’ll be able to secure a server for the next three years. Buying a longer plan makes it cheaper in the long run, and means we won’t have to worry about that cost in the upcoming years.
Around 1/3rd of the resources have already been prepared and I’ll be in contact with some of the people who offered to do translations soon.
I’m super excited from the conversations I’ve been having with other board members/founding parties- There are some really cool things we’re hoping to do.
But we can only do that with your help. Every dollar and reblog helps.

Hey guys, we’ve raised /62/ dollars so far. Which is to say- we’re extremely close to being to get the server part of this settled. The sooner we get the server/website settled- the sooner we’ll be able to start helping people.

They always told James that all roads led to Rome. When a job offer takes him back to the town he grew up in, and the trauma he faced there, he begins to understand what that statement really means.
Trigger Warning: Themes surrounding childhood trauma, and worries about being a parent because of it. There are no graphic descriptions, but if these topics are hard for you, take precautions.
The Trauma Survivor Library is a work-in-progress non-profit that will aim to bring accessible, gender neutral resources to interpersonal trauma survivors as well as curate and boost the voices of those survivors.

So we’re not going to talk right now about how expensive servers/paperwork are going to be because I’m already in a mood regarding money.
But one of the conversations that happened re: fundraising for that type of thing over on facebook
was basically the idea of novellas/short stories. 7-15k range sort of thing.
I already have a couple plotted out and I’ve already started working on the first- and depending on how well? they do, it may be something I continued to do (because ideally, long term goal, would be SSO inspired anthologies where I would be able to pay people selected for the anthology.)
Basically each of the short stories- will at the minimum, include a survivor as a main character. My current plotted ones- the story /revolves/ around their survivorship.
For instance, the one I’ve started on is about… returning to the area the trauma happened and trying to deal with the feelings it brings up both about past self, the place, and the trauma/abuser.
my question is twofold:
What topics would you like to see covered
and would anyone be interested in seeing somewhere survivorship is /not/ the point of the story. (say- a romance piece. Where one person is a survivor, it is brought up/talked about/incorporated in the story- but at the end of the day, the main plot is ‘romance’)
Additional details: If I go the amazon route, which would be… easiest. They’d be about 3 dollars and if I understand correctly, 70% of that would go back to the non profit.
if I don’t go the amazon route…. I’d have to talk to some people much better at e-books than myself re: how to make sure they’re properly formatted to show up on people’s stuff. but I think at this point, Amazon might be my best bet.

Outsource request for the Non Profit:
My ehlers is… not being kind to my wrists these days.
Do I have people who would be willing to commit to working on one or two resources?
Going through and rewriting them so that they’re more concise/better structured?
I’m willing to cowrite with you/give advice on formatting- but it would help a lot.
The information is already there for the most part- I might pitch in with new things I would have added from some of the earlier ones- so no worries about it being research intensive.

Question:
Does anyone have accessibility requests for the website?
And if so- could you mention them below. Double points if you do so and list why. (So having it so that color schemes can be picked for migraines)

I… was going to say something like ‘message me I have an opportunity to help’ re: the website
but I am going to put my Faith in y’all that no one is going to do something inappropriate.
To keep things more accessible- Here are five links to google docs that contain five different masterlist posts.
How can you help? Did you ever look at a masterlist post and go ‘kris, why the fuck is your grammar so bad?’ (It has, shockingly, gotten better- but at this particular second you’ll be looking at posts in their Raw Form.)
Did you ever think ‘I wish _______ had been expanded on’
Or thought you had a nugget of wisdom to add?
Consider yourself pretty good at breaking things up in easy to understand bits?
It’s set to comment so no worries that you might accidentally delete something or anything like that.
I’m trying to… get as many eyes looking over things as possible. Because the more people who look (and comment if they think it can be better) The better it will be.
I’ll be releasing these links in sets of 5 probably for the next few days. Each link will be live for at least a week.
If it’s been crossed off, enough input has been added.
Next Batch:
Surviving The Holidays (This will need a complete overhaul, but any comments on things to add will be helpful)
Even if you can’t look over all of them, even if you aren’t a grammar star- comments on things to add or subtract make a huge difference. Making comments here? Helps decide what will happen on the website and as such- helps survivors.
