Frequently asked questions

1. Is my story really anonymous?
Yes. We never ask for your name or identifying details, and we will never share any information that could reveal your identity.

2. Will every story be published?
We receive many submissions and cannot guarantee publication. Stories are selected based on impact, relatability, and how they fit into upcoming projects.

3. Can I submit more than one story?
Absolutely! Share as many WTF moments as you’d like. Each one helps others feel less alone.

4. Will you change my words?
We may make small edits for clarity, length, or grammar, but we always preserve the voice and tone of your story.

5. How will my story be used?
Submissions may be featured in coffee table books, social media posts, podcast readings, and live storytelling events.

6. Is there any compensation for submissions?
At this time, submissions are voluntary and unpaid, as this is a community-driven platform designed for collective storytelling and validation.

7. Can I request my story be removed later?
Because submissions are anonymous and not tied to personal identifying information, we cannot trace or remove individual submissions after publication.

8. Can stories be triggering?
Some content may be heavy or intense. We aim to balance honesty with sensitivity and encourage readers to consume at their own pace.

9. Who runs WTF & The Fuckery of Trauma™?
We are powered by Healing and CPTSD and led by trauma survivors who understand the importance of safe, validating spaces.
