This project is dedicated to preserving the legacy of Bonanza fanfiction authors who have been lost to the fandom through the years.  Writers disappear for a variety of reasons, and some not of their choosing.

In the past, Brand would only include stories with permission.  However, Bonanza is not the only fandom to have lost many early-era authors.  After speaking with administrators from other fanfiction sites, we decided to change our policy.  Brand now considers it our responsibility to preserve Bonanza stories written by its fans.  If not granted a new home, these stories would be lost to readers. To prevent this from happening, the Brandsters will archive as many stories as possible in the Bonanza Brand Fanfiction Library in a new section specifically dedicated to Preserving Their Legacy.

The authors/stories included in this project have been submitted by members who downloaded/received copies of these stories years ago or by the Brandsters perusing the WayBackMachine.org. 

The Brandsters acknowledge that the authors are the owners of their stories.  Should an author included in this project reach out to us and indicate they do not wish their work to be archived in the Bonanza Brand Fanfiction Library, we will remove their stories.  At the same time, should an author contact us to continue to have their stories archived, we would also be happy to update their contact information.

The Brandsters may be contacted at: Brandsters2020@gmail.com

Brandsters Notes:

Stories updated through this project will be back-dated from the first page when Published.  Subscribers to the Library will receive an email for each story Published.

Please remember this is a work in progress and we will add more stories as they are found/submitted.
