at least I found you account from that. I like writing. It feels personal. For me as a reader its one of the few times I feel touched personally. I know its not the point of your writing. But I think each person that writes and each person that reads gains something personal from the experience.
Concerning chrono. I'm not making assumptions. But I will be on the lookout for him if he tries to do something similar again.
Quite frankly though a 2SBD as a precaution against spam is just hilarious. I'm spending a lot of time on steem these days and I'm concentrating on choosing good people to follow, and not so much producing (although that might come later)

So the idea of charging is to guard against spam, I can see that . And thank you, I guess something good did come of it after all haha
What spam? Seriously its a stupid "reason" imo. The only reason I can see for this would be to "make money" seriously. Competitions shouldn't be for making money. (At least I hope not.)
On the other hand. I "could" start my own compition XD win 1 SP Just upvote and resteem and send me a memo with a link to your story :\ XD (As a precaution against spam ofcourse cough)
