Quick note on S&S 500 Party NFTBooks

We are still in the process of formatting these prizes from our big 500 subscribers party a few weeks ago (and in the meantime, have surpassed 600 subscribers! Wow!)—an announcement will be made on Hive, Discord or both once we’re ready to distribute. There are still many people who’ve not given us their wallet address for this prize, so keep an eye on your Discord pings if you were at the party.
 

That’s all, for now!

We will add more to this post if new opportunities arise.

[innfauno12]

the same story can be entered in all contests?

[jfuji]

If it fits the criteria for each, I don't see why not! :D
That's an extra layer of challenge though, haha.

[anonymous02]

Gonna bookmark this for now hehehe I will surely join in some of them...or maybe all? Lol hehe

Well now, this is a fantastic post.

Today, after maybe 2 years, I have written a complete SF story from one of the prompts - and I have time to polish it before getting it linked.

Tomorrow, I'mma gonna start on the next prompt.

[jfuji]

Amazing! Looking forward to seeing what you share 😁

[amirtheawesome1]

Entering all of these is my new project!

[seki1]

I have a question though, for the Page DAO could it be a story you've posted before? Say here on hive. Or must it be a fresh story. @jfuji

[jfuji]

I don't think they care if you've posted it before :)

[seki1]

Thanks for that🤗
