How Sylum Got it’s Name

 

Since celebrating my birthday month – I thought it would be fun to put out some random things.

Like how Sylum got it’s name.

Way back … in a galaxy far far away …. no really considering Sylum is turning 20 years old next year – it was a while ago.

I came up with this small idea that you can’t kill something that is already dead and Sylum was born.  But how did it get the name Sylum?

Well here’s the fun thing – I didn’t name it.   I was playing around with something associated with Asylum  – when I was talking with a friend who said how about Sylum – take the A off and there you go.  And the rest is history.

It’s not a dramatic tale, but that’s how ‘Sylum’ was born.

And it’s been around for almost 20 years now.

New Password: Reminder

 

Hey everyone!  It’s that time of year. 

Each year we change the sylum site password for protection.

We have set the new password and I’ll be posting it on the Sylum Security email.

The only way to get the new password is joining Sylum Security Group.

It will change over the 1st of November – so make sure to join the group.

Right now both old and new will work, but on November 1st it will switch to the new one.

Update on the General

 

Hey guys – I know I just disappeared for a few weeks, but well 2024 is turning into a shit year.

Sadly – my mom passed a few weeks ago, and I’ve been dealing with … well everything.  

I’m working to get things re organized on the Sylum side of life, but it’s taking some time.   

Posts will be sporadic as I get back into things, but just to let you know I’m still here!  

Sylum Announcement: Old Archive

 

There was a reason we moved to the new archive a few years ago, because the old one was no longer supported and was on it’s way out.

I kept it open because some of the old stories were still on there, that weren’t going to be moved to the new archive.   This included Family & Evolution.

Well it’s finally died.   The link will not take you to it anymore.

Yes we are still working on Family.   Honestly guys it’s been a round 4 years, and the last one and this year hasn’t been the greatest.   We’re working on the edits, slowly but as said hasn’t been a good few years.  So please be patient, but at this moment – Family & Evolution are no longer available.

If someone has a copy – you can ask for it.  

Sylum Big Bang

 

We’re going to try something new, next year.

Instead of Seven Days of Summer in 2025 – we’re going to have a Big Bang.   

We’re announcing it now so it will give anyone who would like to participate.

You can sign up to write or do artwork. 

Writers: The story would at least need to be 15K in words
(and would need to talk to me about what you want to do)

Artist: You’ll work with a writer to do artwork for their story

We’ll be giving out more information in the next few weeks.

If have questions – post them here or send to sylumclan@gmail.com
