A contest with a pot of 3 @steembasicincome shares + the SBD payout, where everyone will win? You're in the right place!

Dear fictio-holics friends, week # 9 has descended among us like a gift from our chaotic buddy Nyarlathotep!

This week, our whimsical contest presents two novelties I'm sure you'll appreciate:

• @brisby supported us with a 1 SBD donation, which will be added to the pot for all the members! A thank you to our squirredelic friend!

• This time, the script comes from @marcoriccardi, Shintiara's author and indeed a prolific mind! That's how I like it, this contest is decentralised, non hierarchic, aiming to build, through the power of our creativity, an active community of friends where everyone is important.

• This is not new but let me point it out: in this place creativity and original, enjoyable to read ideas are rewarded with @steembasicincome shares. At the same time, relax, have fun and you know that you don't need to write a lot (unless your taken by the river of your own narration). A good idea is worth more than many words!

• Interaction and upvotes/comments between participants are highly encouraged! As always, I recommend you to post your good work within your blog for giving it some deserved visibility (but you also can put it in the comment section).

Also this week the script will be related to the multicoloured and prolific world of Shintiara: a world of Magic and Time Paradoxes!. If you prefer to go back to other formats or want to purpose your own script, every your idea for the contest is very welcome!

Who doesn't love a good map? Can you spot the mysterious city of Damarthy?

The Script

Damarthy is the paradoxical remnant of a gigantic megalopolis from Shintiara’s future. It is perhaps the greatest singularity of the whole planet.
A well-known saying in Shintiara goes: “If you don’t know what time you’re in, you certainly know where you are: Damarthy, the most ancient city of the future.”

The few that have overcome the difficulties of the intricate Canyons of Wind tell of a vast city with enormous glass buildings and inhabited by rough, primitive men.
These natives most likely live in the shelter of futuristic metal superstructures, the origins of which they don’t comprehend, which they nonetheless exploit to make simple tools and weapons by detaching fragments from them.

Mighty redwoods claim their living space, erupting from cracked cement and rising upwards as if in challenge to the artificial constructions.
This great vertical forest that invades every part of the city is home to different types of wild animals that contend for territory with the native populations.

There are some who swear that a mysterious sect of hyperhumans hides in the ruins, people who have evolved their bodies so unnaturally that they have completely changed into machines, but in the process they have lost their souls…

Here is how this contest works:

1. I write an unfinished fiction story or a script.

2. You finish it with your own post or a comment in the comment section.

3. YOU WIN! For next round, I will donate at least 3 @steembasicincome shares, all to one or divided between more writers with the most engaging ending + 1 SBD and Wednesday's post SBD PAYOUT will be rewarded between all the participants who won't get one of the 3 shares (I'm the unquestionable judge. Well, technically not me.. the bananafish voices within my head are).

It's so simple and, most of all, we'll enjoy our fiction ideas!
Nothing is mandatory here, just enjoy and prepare for a trip in a delirious fiction world!

What's next?

The results will be out on Monday 30th April, 11 pm avg., UTC +1 (i.e. California is UTC -8). Submission deadline: Monday 30th April, 8 pm, UTC +1. There will be time for everyone to develop the fiction idea.

If you like this contest..SPREAD THE GOSPEL! I'm grateful for your resteeming and word of mouth. Everything helps to make this contest sustainable and help us grow together. Also, a special thank you to @kenny-crane; @wandrnrose7; @brisby and @greetersguild for sustaining this initiative!
