Our Community

So much is happening and I want you all to know about it!!

I told you about the awesome collaboration between @snook,@byn, and @wnadrnrose7 in yesterday's prompt. And now, @whatisnew and @deaconlee have done another shared story!! Love it!

Part1 by @whatisnew
Part 2 by @deaconlee
Part3 by @whatisnew

I hope that both of you record the entire story and upload it to DTube!!

The challenge to read your stories on DTube was taken on by @snook just beautifully. Here is her latest video. Please feel free to edit your stories as much as you wish.

Here is the challenge video

Just remember that Dtube is still in Beta and sometimes things don't work. Just come back after a little while and try again...

Some Tips

Our fellow freewriter @fitinfun wrote this tutorial on using an autovoter

And, our fellow freewriter @arbitrarykitten has written an excellent article on plagiarism. Obviously, this is not a problem among us but wanted you to have it and bookmark it if you come across a post or poster you can help to become a better steemian

Welcome to the freewriters @olaivart and @svashta!

Merry Christmas Marianne! You work your tail off for this group and we need to come together now and find a way to take a bit of the load off of your shoulders. Maybe put up a list of the tasks that you would like to delegate to some of us? We get so much from this and I'd like help, if I'm able to. Here's my offering for today! It's a continuation of @Omra-Sky's story.

I love what I've started. My pla-, I mean, Bot .001's plan is coming along nicely. Bwahahaha! 💻⌨

I'm watching you, and your little bot too!
Keeping an eye out for anything squirrely. 😎

You guys are sooo funny!!! I love all the cooperations going on lately!! so cool!! And I will take you up on the offer!! What comes to my mind right away is to visit the new freewriters and those who don't have a large following = little payout yet and give them a boost.
Another one would be to visit and drop a prompt and note with those who haven't written with us for awhile and if they aren't interested anymore - we can drop them off the list...
does that sound like a good start?

Sure thing! Do you have a list of the newer freewriters available? If not, that's fine, I can go through and gather a list. I'm letting my voting power recuperate a bit (there's just too many good things to upvote!) but will do what I can. As for those who haven't written in a while, I can do that as well. Would you like to work out details together on Discord? I don't want to mess up anything while trying to be helpful. :)

Oops, forgot to post a link to mine...

We have the Deadpost initiative as well, an excuse to share and start discussion on undervalued posts that have been dead for over a month. Usually a $10-20 reward pool but growing.
