[EDITED] Removed my comment and my (42 CCC) up-vote. Apparently curating @bananafish contest entries on #creativecoin and pointing out the existence of a CCC based writing contest qualifies as unacceptable behaviour according to @bananafish.

Hi @pibara,
I'm sure the contest you're advertising is very engaging and well-structured, but I think it's inaccurate to call it "finish the story" because this is the specific name of the Bananafish format and could be confusing to readers.
Furthermore, in my opinion you could comment on this post in regards to the story that was written in it, rather than merely drop your link.
In this period, it is rare to find true disinterested engagement and a sincere conversation on creative themes, and this is what we are trying to do with our community.
Have a nice evening!
I've just:
I invited #creativecoin authors to my contest and I've moved all my curation efforts to #fiction and #poetry on #creativecoin because my love for good writing. I frankly don't need the aggregation of inflated ego self-important steemians thinking they own the right to use two English words together, and don't even check a person's posting and curation history before throwing accusations of spam and copycatting at people.
This is called shameless self-promotion and it's so wrong that I don't have to explain further. Let along targeting our contest participants for directing them to your copycat contest. Do what you like but don't spam in other steemians' posts. Next time I won't hesitate and flag you. Learn basic etiquette and, most of all, be respectful.
What are you on about? I'm approaching talented authors of #creativecoin #fiction tagged posts, the same tags I'm concentrating most of my curation, to compete in my #ccc contests. A contest created in support of CreativeCoin. I'm not copycatting anyone. Just check my account history. I've been occasionally tuning fiction related contests as a way to improve my own work while paying forward the opportunities STEEM has granted me, for almost two years now.
Apparently you're not familiar with the concept of not promoting yourself in other steemians' comments section. Tristan's post was a submission to a contest. You advertised your initiative with not even a mention about his writing. Your comment also reveals that you did it automatically (simply based on tags). This is considered spam = flag. We never did it and don't do it, not even when we welcome newbies on #introduceyourself. When we sustain a writer we first read and talk about his writing in that blog. Does it make sense to you or we live in two different space-time dimensions? I'm not even talking about you jumping in a contest submission's post of an initiative that, after 64 editions and almost 2 years running, has a known brand/name, a name which you replicated plain and simple in your comment. Let me tell you that we know a lot of passionate makers of literary contests and we use to respect each other and even collaborate. We don't even dream to jump into their contests and write to their participants: "hey come here I have a contest with the same name but with a super pot and no words' limit". I would really love (no I wouldn't) to see the reaction of tygertyger, jayna or felt.buzz if I do that. I'm sure that they would jump for the joy. I'm sorry for what happened but have to say that in our discord the discussion about this ended up in a nice friendly meeting between Bananafish core members, so everything is for the good. Have to say that all this was pretty ugly. Considering how rare is to meet writers here I would have loved things to go differently.
Apparently you're not familiar with the concept of checking steemd or steemworld before jumping to conclusions and wrongly accusing people of spamming or copycatting.
I think it's best really you mute me and I mute you.
Next to the inability to check the blockchain, you seem to lack the capability to interact with people in civilized way.
I lack the patience to stay polite long with people like yourself who throw accusations at me that are easy enough to falsify on a blockchain based platform that makes such behaviour impossible to hide.
For the record, I moved a large part of my stake to #creativecoin and currently spent 90% of my reading time on STEEM with #creativecoin #fiction and #creativecoin #poetry tagged post. I hand picked potential contestants for my contest from authors of posts I currated, and I never named my contest anything.
Seems my tiny curation universe and your pseudo-tribe (might be wrong, but I didn't find any mention of your "tribe" on any of the tribe-site lists) collided when @tristancarax posted his entry to your branded contest to #creativecoin using a #fiction tag.
For now I'll put up with your rude behaviour and false accusations. I've removed my blacklisting of mentions of your account as that only hurts your contenders who I have no quarrel with.
Next time though when you decide to throw false accusations at me, know I'll make sure our universes will never collide again in the only way I know how: blacklisting mentions of your account from my #creativecoin #fiction and #poetry curation feed.
Hope though it won't have to come to that.
TL;DR and you're not worth my time. Just don't spam again.
Short version: It "is" worth your time to check the blockchain first before accusing people.
It "is" worth your time to check before doubling down on unfounfed accusations.
I'll omit the even shorter version I had in mind because it doesn't pass the rudeness censorship I impose on myself.
