Hello, hello fellow Steemians!
I am proud to (finally!) present the first chapter of "The story in Series"!
I know that it is long overdue but if you take a look at the photos below you’ll understand why there was such delay.
Here you can see the adverse conditions under which I am supposed to work. Specifically you can see me with my laptop, trying to write the first chapter, and my dog, Maliq, tries to take a lollipop literally out of my mouth! And my girlfriend, instead of helping with this situation, takes pictures! Now, how can an intellectual product come to fruition under these circumstances??
But enough fooling around. The story in series is about to begin!
For those of you who don't know what this is, here is a little intro.
It's a proposal I did in my introductory post. Basically the idea is that I start telling a story and in the comments you suggest how you want the story to proceed in the next chapter. The comment that gets the highest reward after a period of time wins and I write the next chapter based on that suggestion. Exciting, right?
What to do to participate in this exciting project/experiment.
None of the following steps are obligatory (except the first), but why not do all of them, right?
- Read the Prologue and Chapter One
- If you like the stories upvote them and resteem them.
- [IMPORTANT] Write in the comments under Chapter One your idea on how the story should continue. Try not to skip this! It’s where all the fun is!!
Give us an outline of the next chapter only. It doesn’t have to be detailed but it must be able to be written in a single chapter. Don’t give us the whole story. Hopefully this will be a story of many chapters that we'll get to write together, one chapter at a time. Also, only one comment per user, please. - In addition to your idea, tell me how you liked the stories and any suggestions you might have.
- Vote any other comment that you like.
- Tell your friends to come and vote for your comment! 😉
- Resteem (and upvote) this post, if you find the whole project interesting.
- Follow me so you won’t miss any of the following chapters! The main tag is #thestoryinseries.
Also, the Prologue has been reposted, so that it's just the text of the story. I'll try and keep it clean that way. That's why this is a separate post. The original post with the Prologue can be found here. It has some interesting comments, if you want to check it out.
How is the winner decided and what they get
- When the post pays out the rewards (after a week), the comment with the highest payout is the winner!
After a few chapters this timeframe will most likely get smaller (3-4 days), but for now let’s keep it a week so more people have a chance to participate. And I promise to write the next chapter very quickly! - The winning comment will be the basis of the next chapter! Your biggest reward! 😁👏👍
- You’ll get a hefty curation reward from the upvotes of your comment.
- Just for Chapter One: The reward for Chapter One is 50/50. I will give to the winning comment all SBD earnings of the post or 10 SBD, whichever is higher!!
- Just for Chapter One: A random upvoter of the post will receive the lower reward!!
Well, that’s it!! Enjoy your reading and I’m looking forward to your comments!
Until next time... Happy Steeming!!
