Earn $20+ SBD just by making a comment, while supporting one of the coolest Steemit collaboration projects I have encountered yet!
@michalis is an awesome new Steemitian, who incidentally wrote one of the best introduceyourself posts I have read yet, and he is going to write us our very own choose your own adventure:
The story in series
@michalis wrote a prologue and Chapter 1 of this story... but he invites you, the reader, to comment on Chapter 1 what direction the plot should take for Chapter 2. The winning comment (by payout) will determine the plot structure he writes for Chapter 2; Chapter 2's comments will determine Chapter 3's content, etc.
I think this is a terrific idea! I went Barsoom on him and tried to send the two most obvious protagonists to a fantasy Mars with breathable air and water in the canals. Thankfully some other commenters have also stepped up to offer up more sober and rational suggestions as well. Here is my comment plot suggestion - upvote my comment if you want to see this thing go all sword and planet (if I win I am donating the winnings to @michalis for Chapter 2 to run the contest again):
This is such a cool idea! Okay I am a big sci-fi and fantasy nerd so I am going to take this in a whole nother direction.As Zoe peers into the darkness the floor again slumps and caves in depositing her alongside Marcus below with no way back up. They explore the cave below searching for a way out when they stumble upon a huge cavern dimly lit with a red light cast by the 3 eyes of an immense and misshapen stone idol in its center. They explore a labyrinthine network of worked passages surrounding the idol cavern, discovering strange artifacts of unknown origin, purpose and composition. The walls are covered in undecipherable petroglyphs. Eventually they emerge on the floor of a huge canyon by the banks of a river. The sky and air is alien, the rocks red. They are on Mars, albeit a Mars with an oxygen rich atmospheric layer which hugs the canyons and rifts. End Chapter Two.
What do you have? I want to see!
Win $20+ SBD
So what's all this about $20+ SBD? Well the winning comment (this is just for Chapter 1) also receives 100% of the SBD portion of the post payout... and Chapter 1 received a @curie vote, with pending post payout currently at $69.84! According to http://steem.supply/@michalis, the current pending author payout is $52.45. So right now you would be looking at $26 SBD. I am hoping this number goes up... STEEM is going to go up right folks? Right? RIGHT?!? And also of course you are going to upvote the shit out of this post :)
I hope you enjoy this idea as much as I do and I really hope to see some of you commenting with your plot suggestions!
Much love - Carl

What a funidea! Jeesh, I used to plow through those Choose Your Own Adventure books. They were the first books I really loved to read. Now my son's a fan too. The concept is so cool, giving readers the chance to engage with the story. I dig it. Looking forward to seeing how the contest unfolds.
