This November marks our 7-year anniversary on Tome by Tome ASMR — seven years of whispered stories and the incredible community we’ve built together. To celebrate, I’m opening the Vault to you, my darling Lorekeepers.

Your words have always inspired me, and now you can become part of our Archive forever. Submit your tale and it may be whispered aloud this November.

 ✨Step forward, Lorekeeper. The lantern is lit, and the Archive is listening…

• Length: Up to 4,000 words (≈ 40 minutes of reading). 
• Theme: Gothic horror, cosmic dread, dreamlike wonder, fairy tale strangeness, or dark drama. 
• Content: Gore and horror welcome, but no explicit sexual content, animal cruelty, child abuse, or excessive profanity. 
• Deadline: October 31, 2025, Midnight MST. 
• Selection: Only 8 stories will be read in November (2 per week). If your tale isn’t chosen this round, it will remain sealed in the Vault for future opportunities.

• You retain full rights to your work. By submitting, you grant me permission to read it aloud, create a video with background imagery in my channel aesthetic, and share it on YouTube, Spotify, and podcast platforms.

 💡 FAQ

Why does the submission portal open in a new tab?
File uploads require Google’s secure portal. Your submission still counts toward the Archive.

Yes, up to 2 per author.

What if I’m not chosen for November?
