Thank you for all your brilliant entries! Again, it was really hard to choose winners. The good news is that all qualifying entries get a share this time.

A few had to be disqualified for not sticking to the rules.

The most common boo-boos were:

• not following the rules, basically :P

How I came to choose the winners:

• They contained a story, something that suggested action.
• They were interesting.
• They aroused one or more emotions (humour, sadness, joy).
• They made me think and/or imagine something happening.

Note to the winner and 2 runners-up: please tag me @AnjKara in the blog post you'd like me to resteem. I'll do that as soon as I see it.

Prizes

Winner – 1/3 of SBD
Runners-up – 1/6 each of SBD
All other qualifiers – equal share of 1/3 of SBD

Here's the breakdown of post payout in SBD and vest shares

Maths time

Total SBD gained from the post: 2.911

So, rounded up, that's...

1/3 is 1 SBD to the winner
1/6 is 0.5 to the two runners-up
1/3 divided by 25 is 0.04 to each qualifier (bear with me, qualifiers... I'm doing yours as soon as I post this).
If you don't see me in your wallet, by midnight 16th March UTC it's coz you missed one or more of the rules. Better luck next time.

So, who won?

AND THE WINNER IS

WINNER – @deirdyweirdy
