Sylum Fundraiser: September

 

As you know running Sylum is a second job.  I love it and plan on keep doing it for years to come.

But at times it’s a bit much, and every few years reach out and ask for help.

Costs have been rising across the board that also means for server space, security, and spam control.

We’ll be setting out to do another Fundraiser for Sylum in the month of September.

Do not worry – we’ll put out reminder posts leading up and through September w/links to the fundraiser.

Sylum Advent is our Annual Winter Event.  It will start on December 1st and go through to New Years Day, January 1st.

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.

Sylum Inspiration: Enki Sumer

Mod: Member

 

Enki isn’t a Vampire, nor is Human.

He’s a Navigator and from the same planet as Davy Jones and Blackbeard.

He was pulled into their war, when Blackbeard enslaved his mermaids.  He was dragged to Earth, and severely wounded.  He found a safe place, in the Northern Seas, specifically like to stay near Iceland and Norway.

He became more known to Vampires after he met Hiccup and Toothless.  He ended up helping out Noromer, yet hasn’t told him quite yet.  He has a soft spot for him, especially after he faced Davy Jones head on, and won (sort of).

He finally got his mermaids back, after Jack Sparrow tricked Blackbeard back into the locker, leaving them finally free of his influence.

To this day he still prefers the Northerns Seas.  He stops by to see Gran, and talks to the Mariner a lot.  He gets a kick out of Jack Frost, always had and is happy he has his ‘Bunny’.

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.
