Build Your Own Living Story Archives.

 How to Archive and Experience Digital Storytelling the Way It Was Meant to Be Seen. A free guide and template set that will allow you to present Tiktoks (or other videos), creative writing, music, art, and just about anything you can think of in one multi-media playlist. Think of it like a DVD-menu and playlist for all your art work.
A playlist that you can share, publish, embed, edit and retain complete control over. Because a Storytelling revival starts with reclaiming your work.

For many artists, popular social media platforms have been an irresistable canvas for creating and storytelling. They facilitated connection and artistic innnovation for entire communities. Though, if we’re being honest: these platforms are not ideal (and sometimes even hostile) for creators seeking to preserve and showcase their stories the way they intend. Unsustainable platform practices create roadblocks that result in lost work, and exploitation of the creators make up the entire value of said platforms. The simple solution is to reclaim your work. 

I developed this system of archiving and presenting storytelling work as a passion project over the course of two years or so, using Canva as a completely creator-controlled platforming tool. And if Canva ever becomes less than that- you can download your entire playlist as a PDF, a presentation, a set of videos- whatever suits your archival needs. 

Below is a free guide and template set I created, which walks you through the process of building your own. Here on StarWhispers, Living Story Archives are housed under each story's Theater page, if an archive exists, under the Catologue tab.

With this, you can pluck your work from its algorithmic dungeons and let people experience it in the way you choose. 
(If you use these on your own website or for any reason, I'd love to see! Show me in the forum!)
