Awesome! I love giveaways. I'm not always lucky when it comes to wheel spins and draws, hehe, fingers crossed. I tweeted this post on Twitter.

My favourite line from Part 1-

“Routine checkup,” she said, keeping her twinkling eyes on Frix. “You know, for the seedling.”

“Seedling? This is my seventh raid, I’ll have you know.”

“This is no ordinary raid, Frix of Bit. Run it by me.”

She could go from lithe and sexy to a whip cracking commander in a heartbeat, he had learned.

Awesome! I love giveaways.

There will be LOTS this time around. At least a dozen, probably more like 18?

I tweeted this post on Twitter.

Amazing! I see that @poshtoken picked up the tweet—perfect. I find it doesn't always "work" but that's likely me failing to understand it haha.

One time ping to all folks who entered the Starlight Spectre contest: if you enjoyed the chance to partake in some 'read-to-earn' style giveaways, this novel's contests will follow a similar structure. Also, yesterday I sent everyone their SCHOLAR for holding ballots—your HE wallet should reflect the transfers 😊

There will be no (planned) Grand Prize ballot system this time around, but instead a "Bonus Wheel" mechanic that happens every giveaway. Also, way more giveaways in general.

If you have a suggestion for a tokenized community that would welcome these giveaways, please let me know! I've stuck to the ones I know, but would welcome trying others.

The wheel system is quite popular here, but it has a disadvantage of selecting repetitive winners, suppose if I win today chances are I'll win tomorrow, so the other players feel bad about their luck / probability to win a prize, and slowly avoid contest and show lack of interest in reading the content also.

You can also eliminate the winner from next draw in order pick another winner, a ruleset to be created.

Thanks for lovely Scholar tokens.

jfuji (71) 2 years ago

I always give the wheel a healthy shuffle between draws... but I suppose a "can't win twice in a row" rule might be interesting. That would deter 7 winners from entering on the next cycle though. Always a balancing act! 🤔

I'm hoping some of the stuff that Scholar and Scribe does with PageDAO will create some interesting dApps and tech to further refine the 'read-to-win' or 'read-to-earn' space.

If you just add the vyb and proofofbrain tags you will earn well while still posting to your favorite communities.

So many tags and only 10 slots, sadly!

Would the VYB/POB community allow a contest post to be hosted there? With VYB/POB as the main prize? I am looking to expand beyond the few communities I did for Starlight!

Hey Jordy! I believe I'm already on the watchlist, but just in case, opt me in!

My favorite line so far is the the description of witchcraft. Really that whole scene was tense as all hell, had me on the edge of my seat reading it! But this part:

“Cau—whoah.” She looked right at Frix. And for the first time in his life, he felt witchcraft itself pour all over him like a scratchy, sick cloud.

Woof, I could almost FEEL it myself. The description was on point, and sucked me in! So well done. There's my entry, best of luck to everyone! !PIZZA !LUV !HBIT

Her dark eyes came around and the corner of her lip curled up. It was the same little sidelong grin that had won him over many a season ago.

Very descriptive wording for subtle actions yet paints a great picture in the reader's mind. Well, done.

My favorite line from part 3:

The escort’s light flashed across her face. She was so strange to him, a fascinating creature, like a fish with feathers. Her eyes were so big, and her hair odd and… full. The dress-hood had slipped half away, revealing some kind of shiny red decoration, a band

“Oh, roots ensnare me,” Mossa said, and pulled out her own packet. She tossed it at Frix and he caught it, managing to still the insane urge to yelp. He must’ve looked the part though, because Dreff snorted and shook his head.

Hilarious! Definitely the best paragraph of the chapter 🙌

There was a thundering crash and a scream. Junelight flinched backwards. A bodyguard caught her shoulder and her crystals fuzzed, ready to cycle all the way up. But he said, “Wait wait, see, look,” and there were no more screams, no more explosions.
