Steem Wars - A Parody Too Far

A great disturbance has been felt in the Steem. Unseen forces make secret plans for battle. Rebels, Starship Captains, bounty hunters, TimeLords, rogues, Predators, red shirts and Imperials alike all feel the call of the Steem.

Whachootalking'boutMuxxy? Let me explain.

Eons ago - nine months to be slightly more precise - much fun, merriment, and social interaction were had with @sirknight's Steemlords event. Steemians joined teams, created their own characters and wrote about their crazy fantasy adventures. Many were parodies of existing fantasy characters and stories. It generated much social interaction on the Blockchain and is remembered fondly by those involved.

I am proposing an event called Steem Wars, set in a mash-up of sci-fi worlds and timelines. Participants will form crews and be given mission assignments. This will be in the form of a destination for their crew to reach with a particular task to perform. How they get there is up to them. Parodies of existing characters in franchises are encouraged rather than fan fiction. Steemians can create their own totally original characters.

The event will be based at @thewritersblock Discord server with its own dedicated Steem Wars category. Here we will plan and execute the event and crews can converse, be assigned their missions and plan their stories. This will not be limited to writing - art posts will also be encouraged. To join, simply visit The Writers' Block Discord server HERE and ask for the SteemWars role to be assigned to you.

Although hosted at The Writers' Block, we will not be looking for literary perfection: humor, community and blockchain interactions will be the main focus of the event. There is a Steem Wars category already set up in our Discord server, currently with five channels:

The War Room

 
As organiser of the event I shall be Timelord Dr. Muxx. I will be joined by Captains to help organise the event, create scenarios and missions for crews (teams). Several TWB members have already signed up as Captains. Only myself and Captains have access to this channel.

The Temple

 
This is a repository for rules and guidelines regarding Steem Wars.

Recruitment

 
This channel is for participants to form or join crews (teams).

Mess Hall

 
Think of this as a general channel for Steem Wars discussions.

The Chronicles

 
This is a link drop channel for the sole use of Steem Wars posts that all participants can use to share their adventures.

Although still in the early planning phase, I wanted to put out this post to gauge interest in the event. I foresee this being a 4 week event starting in a few weeks time. At the moment we are not looking at this as the basis for a contest: we hope that those taking part will support each other, comment and upvote other crews posts and generate more of a following.

So what say you? Are you ready to set phasers to stun and engage your hyperdrives to boldly go where no Timelord has gone before?
