This Week From Under the Trellis
Ready for the best speculative fiction on Steemit this week? We're not gonna lie. There's some good spec-fic coming your way. Want to be among the voices? Join Steemit, post your speculative fiction stories, and share them in the Speculative Fiction Writers of Steemit Discord community. You'll then get a free one way ticket to join the Parade.
Follow the Exquisite Corpse
Twelve days ago, we put out a call for writers on Steemit to join us in crafting a story. Based on the surrealist writing exercise called Exquisite Corpse, writers would take turns telling a part of the story. We took volunteers and ended up with six writers raising their hands. Kicking us off is @blockurator. Other participants include:
You can read the first leg of the story here.
The rules are very simple. You can read up on them on this post. To participate in future storytelling exercises like this, follow @gardengnomepubs on Steemit.
Steem Monsters Fan Fiction Contest
The winner of the first Steem Monsters fan fiction contest was @manoldonchev. He wrote this awesome piece around the Goblin Shaman. We're giving away Steem Basic Income shares, which are, essentially, guaranteed upvotes on the Steem blockchain. This week, the contest is centered around the Pirate Captain. We'll announce the winner next week.
