Minnow Fiction Author Support Lottery: Round Two

in #contest7 years ago

In this lottery series of lotteries, @croupierbot organizes small lotteries meant to support talented fiction authors on steemit.
@croupierbot is a simple bot meant to run lotteries that are verifiability impartial. Currently everything that @croupierbot earns is split. The STEEM Power is delegated to @croupierbot's creator @pibara while the SBD is used to run the Minnow Fiction Author Support Lottery . This lottery.

Apart from trying to support minnow fiction authors, @pibara would also like to promote making steemit a better platform for fiction by promoting the use of (sub)genre tags.

The rules for the first lottery in this series was, as it turns out, a bit complicated. So in this round the rules are more straight forward. No more prices for the person nominating an author. No more indirection through @minnowbooster. Just one price in SBD payable to the winning minnow fiction author.

So here are the rules:

  • Everyone can nominate a fiction post by a minnow author.
  • A minnow fiction author is any fiction post author who has accumulated less than 10 MVEST and who hasn't powered down.
  • A nominated post can be up to six weeks old and should include a posting tag that describes its (sub)genre.
  • To nominate a post, comment on this post with a link to the post you would like to nominate. Please make sure the above two preconditions are met before nominating.
  • No more than three posts can be nominated per author.
  • A winner will be drawn on November first or when there are at least three competing authors, whatever comes later
  • The price money will be whatever the accumulated SBD is in the @croupierbot account, the day the winner is drawn. Today that is $5.- SBD

That's it. To readers: please nominate authors of your liking and/or prompt them about this lottery. Authors, son't forget to include a (sub)genre tag in your posts and good lick with the draw.

Congratulation on winning pibara's @croupierbot lottery with this comment.

Hi Arthur, I'm currently running a (monthly) beta reading lottery on some of my own writing. This month is off to a slow start. If you enjoy beta reading, maybe you would like to compete. The total price money for this month is $23.5 SBD

I want to read from the very first post of this story, but I can only go back to: From "Ragnarok Conspiracy"; Part One, Chapter 2.

Can you post here all the urls so that I have an easy way to read from one post to the other?

Thanks.

hi Arthur. Here is an index into the chapters so far, apart from this one.

Made a little change to @croupierbot that I would like to ask you to give a bit of a test. If things work correctly, @croupierbot should try to follow your and other former Minnow Fiction Author Support Lottery winners upvotes. Could you please test if @croupierbot indeed follows your upvotes? Tnx.

You want me to upvote their comment or post of a month ago? Just making certain I understand what you are asking.

Just upvote anything you would normally upvote that hasn't got many upvotes yet, than come back a few minutes later to see if @croupiervot followed your upvote. The bot wasn't doing anything with upvotes, so I thought I might as well try to give you guys a bit more voting power by making it follow your votes. So if you upvote anything it should follow at 50% if things are working OK.

Tried again, but still nothing, just my upvote at :

I tried it but after about 4 minutes, still nothing. I'll check again in a few more minutes.

Are you going to be arranging another competition soon?

A little heads up: round 3 is now open for nominations.

There seems to be some issue with the link to the (sub)genre post. Some people above posted links to post that did not seem to be using a (sub)genre in the list of tags, so they don't get an upvote right now, and won't compete in the lottery. Please look at the post on(sub)genre tags by going to @pibara's page and clicking the post named Posting your fiction : Using sub-genre tags; even if it hurts. Apologies if the rules were unclear because of the broken link.
