Do you have a foreclosure-avoidance success story?

There's lots of foreclosure woe out there. But one group is hoping to hear success stories.

If you avoided foreclosure, mortgage financier Fannie Mae would like to share your experience on a new foreclosure-prevention website it's launching.

It's soliciting stories of a variety of foreclosure alternatives -- loan modification, short sale, deed in lieu, etc. -- as a way of offering encouragement to homeowners looking for a way out.
