IFC Season 2 Round 10 - Heroes

Hello there! Welcome to our digital spaceship castle.

Artwork credit - @jimramones on steemit

Hi peoples. Sorry for the delay posting the challenge today.
I have a really bad back ache and stayed up late and felt like I just needed to sleep as long as I could and heal as much as possible before I got up.

We are now officially half way through the second regular season of the IFC in terms of scheduled rounds, though a bit more than half way in terms of planned duration as we have I think 3 catch up rounds to do near the end.

It's been going pretty well I think, though.. With @charisma777 MIA I feel a lil extra "on my own" so to speak, at least when it comes to making sure this whole thing is running.

Usually charisma helps out with commenting on the entries and she posts some of her own side quests and does artwork and really just makes me feel like I'm not alone with all of this, I really hope she's okay and it's nothing too serious.. It's been a while since I've heard from her and I can't help but think something is wrong.

I sent her an email and messages on social media and I'm not really sure how else to try to get in touch with her.. Hopefully she checks in before too long and tells us what happened and that it's nothing TOO serious.

We could definitely use another full time judge around here or a couple of them, if you know anyone who might be interested please send them my way, the pay isn't much though.. So.. I'm content to do it all my own and then in another week or so when the other judges are less busy we can get back to voting on the rounds again.

Sorry we're so far behind, we're still judging round 3 and we're already on round 10! I feel like things aren't quite going how I hoped they would, but at least they are going and we have a good little group here that seems to be having fun and I have a feeling it will work out in the long run.

Anyways.. Onto the next quest, shall we?

The subject of our tenth quest is.. "Heroes".
We did a bonus quest last season called "Who are the heroes?" and it was more about the heroes on steem, though it did really well.. We had a whole bunch of entries.

This time it's going to be more broad, you can do anything about the subject of "heroes" it doesn't have to be limited to steem.

You could pick your steem heroes though, or it could be real life heroes, could be your family you consider that are heroes, could be a song or a drawing or just a technical sort of write up/type up on the subject, or something else.. It's really up to you!

I'm curious to see who you pick or what you decide to do with this topic!
Good luck!

So far we have received support and 10steem from @underground and I have confirmed that @ats-david @krnel @timcliff @steemcommunity and @ura-soul will also be supporting us this season.

Underground, ats-david, krnel, timcliff, steemcommunity, and ura-soul are all witnesses, so if you support what we are doing here at the IFC please look into them and give them a vote for witness as well. By the way to vote for ats-david you should vote for his @ats-witness account.

Also it looks like @ecoinstar will donate 100 shares of steembasicincome to the winners, with 60 SBI going to the grand prizer winner, 25 SBI to second place and 15 SBI to third place.
And thanks to @bengy for delegating 25 steem. :)
A special thanks as well to @davemccoy and @newbiegames and @newbieresteemday who are not technically sponsors but we have worked with them in the past. Looks like newbiegames and newbieresteemday have been inactive for months though we still use their tags for the time being.

The challenge will finish after 7 days when the post ends and provides its payout cycle or when all entries have been submitted.

25% of the post payout goes to curation and after that what's left will now be split up 75% to the winner of the round and 25% to put towards building up the @ifc account.

For those who play via email.. This will be recorded and saved for you, and.. If you're unwilling to make your own steem account we will at some point be willing to convert it for you to whichever currency however.. Not for small amounts, you must earn at least 10 steem for us to take the time to do this for you.

Plus here's a YouTube video I made on the subject of the IFC that I'm going to include with each round post.
