Sponsor the saga

Neon Drift Saga is a free science-fiction web novel with an animated series and screensavers. A few hand-picked sponsors help keep it free. Each one is clearly labelled, sits outside the story text, and is shown to readers who chose to spend their evening in the year 2029.

Questions

Can I pay before writing to you?

You can, but it's better to send the form first so we can confirm the slot is free and your product fits. If we can't run it, PayPal payments are refunded in full.

What artwork do I need?

For Marquee: a wide image (1600×400 or larger), a title, one sentence and a link. For Feature: a 1200×630 image, a title, one sentence and a link. For Signal: up to 40 characters of text and a link. We can help match the saga's style.

Do you show traffic numbers?

Not publicly yet. They'll appear on this page soon; in the meantime we'll share current figures when you get in touch, and every sponsor gets a click report.

Can the ad appear inside a chapter?

No. The story stays untouched. Sponsor cards sit after the chapter ends, on the home page, the Watch and Drift pages, and in the footer.

Prices are per slot for 30 days, in US dollars. Every sponsor is reviewed before going live; if we can't run yours, you get a full refund. Ads are labelled “Sponsored”, use your own image or text, and never appear inside the chapter text. We don't add advertiser tracking scripts; we count clicks ourselves and share the totals. Longer bookings and launch weeks: ask. Looking to support the story as a reader instead? Support the author.
