1. What This Site Is
Story is a collection of personal essays and short fiction written by Anna and Sam. Some of what you’ll read here really happened. A lot of it didn’t, or didn’t happen quite the way it’s told. We think the site works best when you don’t have to guess which is which from the writing alone, so here’s the plain version: anything filed under Food Stories, Family Life, or Favorites is grounded in real memory, even if details have been softened, reordered, or compressed the way memory tends to do. Anything filed under General or Series is fiction, written for laughs, and any resemblance to real people, HOA boards, chickens, or neighbors is either coincidental or has been changed enough that nobody should recognize themselves in it.
2. Nothing Here Is Professional Advice
Where a story mentions food, cooking, health, parenting, home repair, or dealing with a homeowners’ association, it’s being told as a story, not handed to you as instruction. If you try a recipe, technique, or piece of advice you read about here, that’s your call, and results will depend on things we have no control over, like your oven, your ingredients, and your patience. For anything involving your health, diet, allergies, finances, or legal standing, talk to someone actually qualified to advise you on it, not a blog.
3. Accuracy and Memory
Personal stories on this site are told from memory and from a particular point of view. Timelines may be compressed, dialogue may be reconstructed rather than quoted exactly, and small details may be changed to protect people’s privacy or simply because that’s how the story is better told. We’re not claiming journalistic accuracy, and you shouldn’t treat anything here as a verified record of events.
4. Other People Mentioned in These Stories
Real people, including family, friends, and neighbors, sometimes appear in these stories, occasionally with names or identifying details changed and occasionally not. We try to write about the people in our lives with care, but if you’re mentioned here and would rather not be, or want something corrected, reach out and we’ll sort it out.
5. Links, Ads, and Anything We’re Paid For
This site may include links to outside websites, products, or services we don’t control and aren’t responsible for. Some posts may include affiliate links, meaning we could earn a small commission if you buy something through them, at no extra cost to you. Any time we’ve been paid or given something to write about a product, we’ll say so clearly in that post.
6. No Guarantees
We put this content together in good faith, but we make no promises that it’s complete, current, or error free. Use of this site, and anything you do based on what you read here, is at your own discretion.
7. Liability
Story, Anna, Sam, and anyone else involved in running this site won’t be held responsible for any loss, damage, disappointment, or ruined dinner that results from your use of this website.
8. Changes
We may update this disclaimer as the site grows. Continuing to read Story after a change means you’re fine with the updated version.
