RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues 🏆 - STEEM prizes & steem-bounty available! 🎁
Thanks! It was satisfying to break the 30,000 point mark. I don't know that I'll do it again. It required a lot of constant work. I don't think that's sustainable for me.
Supposedly Janton was weeding this last week, so I wouldn't bet against him.
Yeah, I really enjoyed getting to write something for comedyopenmic. I'm trying to figure out what I want to write for this week. It was a lot of fun, and it didn't hurt to win a little prize money either. I think you should give that story a go!
Thanks I will defiantly have to come up with something since this is second time being nominated. The rules page has me confused. It says 24 weeks that don't seem right I was assuming each round runs a week. I better go back and read more carefully.
Anyway good job on all that engagement. I need to sneak up a few notches next week. See you at the top..... hopefully
I think they had originally thought of running the contest for 24 weeks with winners every week. We'll see what happens next week. I haven' heard if they're ending it or not.
I hope you're able to score really high. Just keep after it.
Thanks so much I can be a bit dense with learning to do a new contest. I did some investigating. Looks like there is plenty of time ... they just got a nice delegation from curie. I am off to think of something humorous. Thanks again.
Hey, congratulations on the prize with comedyopenmic. That was great! I need to see what the other person posted, but you did get second place, right? They decided to give me a door prize for my efforts, so after being told I wouldn't be eligible for anything, it feels good to be recognized with something. I think I'd like to do that on a regular basis. Just need to come up with it. It seems to be harder to do when it's intentional than when it's off the cuff, but we'll see.
@glenalbrethsen Why did they say you were not eligible ? I need to do an entry this week but am like you. I throw out jokes playing off other peoples posts or comments. Trying to be funny deliberately is a whole other thing. I would hate to come up with one and not be eligible.
If you haven't already, it's worth going and tracking down their original rules post. They generally have it linked in either the new week's contest post or in the result one.
In my case, I failed to see the part of it where it said the entry needed to be totally original. While I'd say 99% of it was, the joke itself is well known and even published. So, even though I came up with 2000 words of backstory for our thieving convicts, the joke wasn't mine. I did get a door prize, though, which was very nice of them.
Yeah. It's strange, but the comedic juices flow when someone else is saying something. I have had some success when I've been writing in script form, or a dialogue back and forth between two imaginary people. I might have to go that route. I just need to shorten it up. Too much time for something that might not pay off. There's a bang for the buck quotient to be met. :)
I don't think I got second place, but I got a prize. I'm really thankful for that. I see they gave you one as well. I'm glad you got some recognition out of it. You can always wait for it to be off the cuff and enter when you get inspired.
