Love the stories?
Help us keep the kettle on.
Mondayitis is — and always will be — free. No paywalls, no ads, no subscription tricks. Every story you read is public domain, lovingly gathered and polished by hand. But finding them, cleaning them up, and keeping this little corner of the internet glowing takes time, effort, and a server that costs money to run.
If a story made your Monday better, a tiny donation keeps the next one coming. ☕

Hunting the classics
Every story on Mondayitis is carefully sourced from the public domain — Project Gutenberg, Wikisource, the great archives. Finding the good ones, checking they're truly royalty-free, and cleaning them up so they read beautifully takes real hours every week.
Hand-polished stories
Each tale gets edited for the screen — proper paragraphs, gentle formatting, a reading experience worthy of a hundred-year-old story. That's the difference between a text dump and a moment of warmth.
The server that never sleeps
Hosting, domain, email delivery, backups, and the little gremlins that come with running a website — there's a monthly bill behind every Monday morning story.
And it stays free
Your donations don't buy access — they buy the freedom to keep everything free. Every reader, every story, every Monday, no matter what.
No subscription, no recurring charge — just a one-time thank-you, whenever the mood strikes.
