Why are you who you are... on Steemit? Every username, like every superhero, has a backstory.
This challenge is simple:
1. Tell us your steemit username backstory in a post titled for this challenge.
2. Win up to 20 Steem if your story is selected.
3. Have a dance party with you and up to four of your friends!
If you're new to the platform, contests like this are a great chance for people to get to know more about each other, and it is really part of the experience that is Steemit.
If you're not so new to the platform chances are you'll do this challenge just for the fun of it - @meesterboom we're all pretty much always looking at you ;)
Details
- Post in your own blog but link the post below in the comments.
- Title that post "Personal Story Slam Challenge 1 - (INSERT REST)"
- Your story is FREEEEEE to be fiction, truth, a fairy tale, you get the idea! It's your history!
- Make sure to tag it # slamchallenge
- Use images, gifs, animations if you'd like!
Steemit can seem like a pretty mysterious place when you're new, but it's really just a matter of diving in and getting involved with the community, whether that's through posting or chatting on steemit.chat.
Sharing the history of your username is like doing an introduceyourself for your @name so I hope to read some great backstories!
I will be posting in this challenge, though I am obviously not eligible to receive any rewards offered here.
Winners
Winners will be announced following close of this post. So participants have 7 days to get their story together!! The selected stories will be eligible for prizes of up to 20 Steem each, and details regarding this will be followed up on in subsequent posts.
So how'd you come up with that @username?

Thank you for being a part of this challenge. You showed me that some of us are really using these handles to express inner desires for growth and development, and that it works insofar that you're able to consistently express, and be appreciated for, the values you most closely align with.
Awesome to have you here Hope!

Here's one for synchronicity.... I was thinking about the Reiki sessions I received in college from the student of a peruvian shaman... just this morning! So when I saw your username I had mental pareidolia and thought the universe was speaking to me.
I can't wait to hear more about your backstory!

Congratulations @viazenar your story has been selected for this slam challenge and your reward is 20 Steem which should already be in your wallet!
I really wish I could have selected more, all of your username origin stories were awesome and with so many new usernames showing up every day, I'm sure we'll be doing all kinds of stuff like this in the future!
Thanks for your participation!!

Thanks @charles1 ... Can we expect a post from you about that username ;) I'm wondering if you're charles1 because you're the first of your name, or the first charles ever maybe?
