Thank you so much for the fantastic stories, I am so excited to start judging. I have made myself wait until all the entries are in and collated to read them, and it has been so hard to resist!
Thank you all so much for taking the time to enter - good luck! <3
By no means is anyone asked to resteem, but of course, if we get enough public votes, there will be another prize on offer for the authors!
Okay so I had two favorites here. I really like what @dirge did. I liked the cannibal clan and I liked the reveal. The characters felt real, Malik was kinda a punk though. But I give my vote this round to @gwilberiol. I liked the hunter character, felt like something I would make. Gave feeling to it at the end when he sits down to read...........and drops a classic
Line!
Thank you so much for voting! The winners and next round are out, I would be thrilled if you found the time to enter again <3
I'll do my best!
UwU Since I know that I cannot vote for myself, as a good lil’ human being I vote for @dirge in this round as an author. I certainly loved the aspect that the emp bombs didn’t fry the electronics of an underground vault society. Also the fact that the sheriff was heavily telegraphed to be a robot mid-story with the Jesus Ressurection and accessing of the vault. Finally, Cops vs. Indians - I had to do it ‘em, the may mays.
🤠 (Not because I want to build a nepotistic Bloc on Steemit, no sir-re!) 🤠
Lol. After I wrote the story, I was all, "Fuck. Did I just reproduce the white supremacist narrative of civilization vs savage?" I mean, there's a limited number of plot elements available for the story.
The townspeople could fight:
a. savage tribe of post-apocalyptic humans
b. other town
c. themselves via civil war
d. animals
e. mutants
f. aliens
g. robots
But I wanted to give it a Fallout feel so I chose the (a). I think its possible to not reproduce that racist trope
Great Khans vs Goodsprings. Let’s go! But no, I think you’ve just edged by alright.
Thank you so much for voting (and not for yourself lol) The winners and next round are out, I would be thrilled if you found the time to enter again <3
Aye, will do!
Loved all the stories! My vote goes to @dirge for the engaging narrative and many rich details. This feels to me like a novel or movie skillfully streamlined into short story form. Props!
Thank you so much for voting, it was a hard round to chose! The winners and next round are out, I would be thrilled if you found the time to enter again <3
I am very conflicted between @dirge's Westworld story and @ediblecthulhu's Fallout story.
I will go with @dirge. I loved the recurring dream slash danger alert idea, and the concept of a book burner as a social outcast. How many lives will the lost library cost, down the road? I'm guessing several. The characters are fantastic, though I wish the Light Men had lines of dialogue too. The plot follows a classic 'true grit' adventure to an open ending.
...I wonder how many of Eastrun's citizens are unknowingly robots. Maybe all of them!

Thank you for liking my story and sure, I'll try!
My vote goes to @gwilberiol. The story really keeps books at the heart of it. Also like Hemp being incorporated in the story, since I'm invested. In the end you want to keep reading and find out where this goes!
Thank you so much for voting - hemp is of course the future! The winners and next round are out, I would be thrilled if you found the time to enter again <3
OK. And thanks again!
Okay @gwilberiol killed it. I honestly don't know how he could dream up such a story. Superb!
But since he just may win it, my vote goes to @ebitularmbert. I like the tension he created, even though he could have done better with the end. Some stories just do not need a resolution. We would have loved to just hang with hunger. Lol
Oooo some fantastic reasoning there. Thank you so much for voting! The winners and next round are out, I would be thrilled if you found the time to enter again <3
Super mad at myself for not finding time to finish what I was writing for this but since I finally had a day off I read through everything and I gotta go with @gwilberiol. It was really fun to read and I liked the value placed not knowledge of any kind be it print scribbled down on paper or locked up in someone’s head... also the moral dilemma of killing someone who could well be the last holder of a bit of knowledge because he memorized it is interesting to think about
Well the next round is out, plenty of time so hopefully you can make it! You got 1 @steembasicincome share for a well reasoned vote. Thank you!
My vote goes to @gwilberiol with the story, "Ahab". The descriptions of the book trader, the atmosphere of gloom and the harshness of the story all made for compelling narrative. Successful world-building. The plot had good pacing with intrigue and conflict/resolution. The punchline was an effective ending to the story.
Thank you so much for voting! The winners and next round are out, I would be thrilled if you found the time to enter again <3
My vote has to go for @gwilberiol. His picture of the present world was really well drawn, with just enough action and excitement without being overdone.
@ediblecthulhu's story was a very close second. I loved the little details like spending Centuras and drinking Dark November and the use of human circuitry to power computers was a great twist.
Thank you for voting! You got 1 @steembasicincome share for taking the time to stop by and read the entries.
If you would like to give it a go, the next round is out!
