Thanks for showing interest in 1 Hour Story!
Who am I?
My name is Vijayendra Mohanty and I am a storyteller. Among my works are the comic Ravanayan (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre) and the Youtube channel Epified (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre). My work on Ravanayan has been featured in publications such as The New Indian Express (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre), The Hindu (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre), Bleeding Cool (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre), and many others. The video channel Epified has been mentioned in The New Indian Express (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre) and has also been the subject of a TEDx talk (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre) by me.
What is all this?I am telling stories. The stories I tell have to do with magic, monsters, mythology, people looking for purpose, extra-dimensional intelligences, self-aware machines, ancient aliens, odd gods, medieval mysteries, and far-future fantasies.
I have written such stories on a semi-regular basis for more than a dozen years now. I will be writing more regularly now and I am going to do it on my own fiction platform 1 Hour Story (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre). In the near future, I have also planned web series -- ongoing fiction serials that will be delivered to you chapter-by-chapter every week. See rewards on the right sidebar.
Why ask for money?Why am I asking that you pay? Does this mean that all the stories on the site will be behind a paywall?
Not at all! I write stories because I like to write stories. I would write and publish this website even if nobody were to pay me anything. You becoming a Patron is simply a way for you to show support for my creative projects. And since I believe that people who pay do deserve something extra, I have put out certain rewards. More rewards plans are on their way!
