Hoist the colours, proud storytellers!

What's boiling in the bananafish kitchen (the news!)

• As a special surprise for the 30th anniversary, the pot have been increased to 5 STEEM and 5 @steembasicincome shares!

• Our amazing Mizu no Oto Haiku contest is growing every week more! Try your pen with us in this fascinating form of poetry!

• The Bananafish keeps endorsing and recommending the Collective Intelligence platform. An innovative idea by @anarchyhasnogods which purposes a different model for rewarding quality in the most authentically decentralised way. Here's the chat and the platform's website.

• A toast to our friend @tristancarax and the new entry @coinsandchains for their @curie vote! So far, we reached 21 curie rewards in the contest.

• Everyone check the detailed @brisby's statistics about the rewards and engagement in almost 8 months of contest! This is the paradise for every spreadsheet geek.. thank you Bris, our unique Chief Squirrel with a yellow fin!
  
  
  

  
  
  

Let's cut the chatter, brave storytellers, the winners of the 5 STEEM + 5 @steembasicincome shares are:

• GRAND PRIZE - 3 STEEM: @marcoriccardi. "You managed to inject principle and compassion into a savage scene. You handle the conversation adeptly. It's hard to get a juvenile tone down convincingly, but you did it. I enjoyed this ending. Very inventive." Convincing dialogues, an original spin and a very fresh approach. The reader is cuddled and, at the same time, taken to reflect around the themes of inclusion and diversity.

• SECOND PRIZE - 2 STEEM: @ediblecthulhu. With a name like that what do you expect!? Competent and mature writing. He resembled to me Michael Moorcock's Elric or a Hyeronimus Bosch painting, as @agmoore suggested. One of the best descriptions of an outer God that I ever read.

• POPULAR VOTE - 1 SBI: @erh.germany, @gaby-crb, @raj808 all win a @steembasicincome share!

• BEST COMMENT: @agmoore for the high quality of her insightful comments along the participants posts, which helped me greatly in the decision process.
