An Original Steemit Fable (Way The Hell Out Of My Comfort Zone)
Hey, @whatsup!? Was this pic enough clickbait?
I'll admit that I'm missing the engagement I got during and right after SteemFest, so I wanted to try to generate more with some off the wall creativity I'll wince about after posting.
Oh, and please don't judge a book by its cover! It was tricky to make this work well enough, so I hope you enjoy the thought behind it.
Please witness this @smooth @originalworks @improv mainly using @steemit names to help tell a unique fable.
@acidyo @openmic check, @dj123, yo check, @abh12345... Ok, let's go!
Fable Time...
@onceuponatime in @africa, @anomadsoul and @eveuncovered lived in @freedom in the @gardenofeden.
@good-karma and @everlove reigned @supreme, @enjoyinglife until @oracle-d saw them @sneak @honeydue from forbidden @holybranches, even with @canadian-coconut nearby.
They were summoned to see @lordgod, who was @musing on @wisdomandjustice, for a @heart-to-heart. This wasn't how they were @raised2b.
They blamed @derangedvisions, but knew they @blewitt when he started to @pressfortruth.
"I'll save @ura-soul from @luzcypher, but all @guiltyparties must leave in @exyle immediately," said the @lordoftruth.
They @aggroed, and life as they knew it went down @dtube.
@joythewanderer(s) felt no more, as they fought off a @giantbear, @cheetah, @miniature-tiger, @celestialcow, @donkeypong, @spinbunny, @cryptoctopus, @thedarkhorse, and @therealwolf.
Weak and lost, they stumbled on a @pennsif @magicmonk named @flauwy by an @oldstone named @rok-sivante. It seemed to @coruscate like a @krystle!
The @crimsonclad @oldtimer bellowed that this @freedompoint was called @passion-ground. "Here you can find @newhope and learn @thejohalfiles," he added, as a @larksongbird landed on his shoulder. He then asked if @goldmatters to them, offering a @kingscrown and permission to stay, under the condition that they shared the whereabouts of @edensgarden.
Many @mightpossibly @slobberchops and accept, but this pair wisely refused. Nobody with their souls on the @blocktrades them twice.
@thevillan @modernpastor snarled "nobody tells @meno," and vanished into thin air. His trap to @revisesociology failed.
This @nomadicsoul duo learned their lesson and passed the test. The key was to @doitvoluntarily.
The skies opened, and @arcange swooped in to take them back to their @utopian-io land, well-prepared for the next @poeticsnake, with a head full of @steem.
@gtg... I'm out of @firepower with @nonameslefttouse.
Your turn! Please feel free to add your own creative line to the story using Steemian names below, or just say hi.
Thank you,
@steemmatt (now a @fulltimegeek)
P.S. - Thanks in advance to everyone for their senses of humor... eat your heart out, @checky.
(Closing eyes and posting.)
fuckin hell
Haha. Such a perfect COM response. Thanks a lot for your support. I would've dropped this in the current COM round, but it was Christmas-themed. I'll be bokk.
Oh my god this is f*ckin brilliant. Stringing all these Steemian names together in a story that actually makes sense takes a crazy amount of talent!
There was no way you were going to be left out... and I found a way to work your bf in there at the buzzer. Thanks for the compliment, awesome feedback and resteem. This was originally going to be an attempt at a funny/lame rap song, but I'm very glad I went biblical fable in hindsight (the natural alternative).
Totally agree with @coruscate. Also resteeming!
I did a quick scan thinking WTF is this...then I actually read the post. You made that work so much better then I could have pictured it going. Respect for the creativeness!
Hah. I have a feeling that your initial reaction will be common, so I can only hope that others may take the time to see it through as you kindly did. Thanks for the encouraging compliment and for being a good sport.
I'm with you on the lack of engagement recently and have been trying anything to increase it. Currently running free delegation giveaways for newbies and just today did a post hoping to find 10 winners of 2 Minnow Builder shares each for leaving a simple comment. That all said this was a fun way to try and get some people to take a minute to engage with you.
Lol wtf 😂 Since when have I even been censored!? 😈😝
Yessss, you appreciated the double layer of irony there. At least the picture had lots of natural light.
Thanks for checking this out and your support!
Lol
PURE GENIUS!!
Thanks a lot man. That line had such a nice flow. I really liked the "torrent" portion of your name for some type of flood, but I couldn't figure out how to work the "ade" in there. I'll figure a way out in the future. IOU.
This is brilliant creativity
Must have taken lot of effort and time
Kudos
The photo is hilarious

I'll admit that it did take quite a bit of time to settle on something I felt good enough about posting. Thankfully some people got to appreciate and laugh from it to make it worth it. I'm glad you could enjoy the intricacies, and of course, the picture - a last minute addition because...well, why not??
Thank you.
This is amazing. I can't believe how it flows. Beautiful. Be well.
Anytime the Yeti stops by, especially with a compliment, it was a good post.
Haha right on! Be well.
Genius!
Ahh, both main subjects blessed this so I don't have to sleep with one eye open tonight. Thanks for reading and your support. Feel free to use the picture for your dating apps.
@Its a @good @thing @they didn't @get attacked by @any @meanbees. @That @might @have @been @enough to @end @the @journey .
@Great @job @steemmatt, @its @impressive.
:-)
You are the champion for responding with your own addition. I blame myself for missing @meanbees, a perfect opponent on their journey, but thankfully you fixed my mistake (and quite intelligently). Thanks for your effort here. I know it takes quality time to put those strings together!
:-)
Ha ha this is epic
What good is a post about value(s) without mentioning a little gold in the mix? Golden rule, gold standard, golden ratio, @goldmatters... you know what I mean.
You are such a sweet talker @steemmatt! :)
