HeroicStories Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I missed an issue, can you resend it?
Where can I find a copy of issue number ___?
We don't keep a full archive of all our issues online, however
here are some options that may help you:
- The six most recent issues are available
here.
- There are both sample issues and special issues on our site which you can find
via the full site map.
- We've published two books of stories, which you can learn more about
here
I stopped getting HeroicStories, but I didn't unsubscribe...what happened?
Particularly due to recent virus activity, there are several potential
causes. We've set up a separate page, Unsubscribes & Viruses, that
discusses this in more depth.
Remember, you can always read the six most-recent issues via the
rolling archive here.
How do you know the stories are true?
Good question. Such a good question, in fact, that we've devoted a page
to the answer: click here.
What's this "Co-conspirator" thing? Can I be one?
The concept emerged from an email conversation between people in
Oklahoma, England, and Washington state.
The idea was to create a phrase which describes what we're trying
to do here at HeroicStories...and what so many people of good will
are doing around the world, in thousands of ways.
So many people are working at so many good projects -- they just
get reported less by the media than the bad news.... So we miss
grasping the understanding that the dominant, the
greatest, most plentiful actions around us, are people
working to improve life for all.
The role of HS is to report on those efforts, especially the
efforts of individuals. (You can read more in
our manifesto).
So we are all.... "Co-conspirators to make the world a better place."
And yes, you can be one too. In fact, you
probably already are.
May I add "Co-conspirators to make the world a better place" as a
signature to my email?
Please do! Please include the HeroicStories website URL (http://www.HeroicStories.org) as well.
Please add me to your mailing list.
It's easy to subscribe to HeroicStories by using the subscription box at the bottom of this page. (You'll be required to "confirm" your subscription by replying to an automated email, so look for that email, and be sure to reply to it.) Welcome aboard!
Please remove me from your mailing list.
Because our automated subscription process gives every subscriber a unique
identifying number, we can't unsubscribe you from here. The very end of every
issue says "Simply send any message" to: [your unique unsubscription
address]. If you'll look for that address and click on it, most mail programs
create a new email for you. Simply send that email, and your address
will be unsubscribed -- no matter what address you send that message
from. Thanks for your help.
There's more information on changing your HeroicStories subscription
here.
How can I advertise in HeroicStories?
Advertising in HeroicStories is easy and cost-effective. And it works! You can find all the information here.
When we don't run ads, HeroicStories is sponsored by contributions from our readers. You can see what that's all about here.
How can I help promote HeroicStories?
May I link to the HeroicStories website?
You most certainly may link to us! In fact, we've put together a few
banners and buttons and some example HTML to make it easy
here.
We've also collected several great ideas from our readers on how
they've been "spreading the word" about HeroicStories
here.
May I have your permission to reprint a HeroicStories story?
If you represent a newspaper or magazine, you may get HeroicStories for your publication, by following our rules. All the information is here.
If you have a different use in mind, just drop the publisher a line describing what you'd like to do. The publisher's contact information is on our contact page.
Now that I'm a subscriber, will you sell my email address?
Never! We hate spam at least as much as you do! It wouldn't be "heroic" to help more of it to be sent out. Our privacy policy has been on our site since the beginning, and it's iron clad.
