Hoist the colors, proud storytellers!


Phew.. With the 27th edition I felt like I was thrown in a James Cameron cinematic version of Milton's "Paradise Lost" (and he's now probably rolling over in his grave right now, sorry Johnny!). This week we lived together the vicissitudes of a beggar in a museum, acts of unexpected kindness, malignant entities taking over helpless angels, a criticism based in current events, the Chant spreading, killing and opening the gates of hell, Apocalyptic trumpets and celestial battles, connections between cosmos and meta-connections between different stories.. I feel dizzy! But now let's honour the deity by lighting on our special yellowish joss sticks and dip our gaze in..

...Also don't forget the customary human sacrifice....kali maaaa...

What's boiling in the bananafish kitchen (the news!)


  • Edition number 28 of the Finish the Story will enjoy an amazing power-up: 1st prize 2 STEEM and 2 SBI / 2nd prize 1 STEEM and 1 SBI / 3rd prize 1 SBI / Popular vote: 1 STEEM. A more distributed pot and with some good pure STEEMs ready to gain!

  • This week we had a fantastic new: @curie is going to help, on a recurrent base, several worthy initiatives and we have the opportunity to keep granting such a rich pot! As you know, we have already had the honour to be included in the first round, now I'll submit the application for the second and finger crossed! Everything that comes will be a blessing for our potassium enhanced family!

  • The Mizu no Oto haiku contest has been a great success and enjoyed a great participation.. you still have some days, good luck proud Haijin!

  • Tomorrow the first half of the story will be delivered by our dark myst @theironfelix! Prepare for a ton of pure action!

Alright, let's cut the chatter, brave storytellers, the winners of the 8 @steembasicincome shares are:



- @agmoore wins the 1st prize but also the popular vote! What do we do? Her story was objectively emerging between the others with an original change in perspective that led us to reflect about self-awareness and existence. This coincidence gives me the opportunity to reward our friend @agmoore with 4 SBI and split a 3rd prize.

- @maverickinvictus wins the 2nd prize with a complicate reverse story plot rich of religious and esoteric referrals. Well done Mave!

-The third prize is a draw between @dirge and @sarez, who win 1 SBI each. Dirge's paragraph about human unawareness was interesting, and Sarez gave life to a very coherent dialogue and an unexpected final turn that created a pleasant contrast with the previous part of his story.



A honorable mention goes to @marcoriccardi: you were right there at the 3rd place but what should I do? Start the Chant and break some seals? :-) See you all tomorrow with the 28th edition and a rich pot of 4 @steembasicincome shares and 4 STEEM!!

The great and generous @bananafish rewards the faithful!


We already know the wise and fair @bananafish can be strengthened with offerings of delegation, and curation. Through this, the strength of many, shall become the strength of one. So in time, the strength of one, can in turn, become that of many. As the delegations grow, so does the value of the vote, so as the power grows, so it returns. Indeed, the mighty god will appreciate those who support it, and in doing so, support this entire contest. For many of us, it is already it's own reward. In a steemit full of vanishing contests, your support allows this one to keep going, and allows everyone to polish their writing skills with a challenging weekly work out (not to mention @curies's precious support and voted on the participants!). By coming together and sharing the work, we can empower the potassium rich deity to create an oceanic fruit-salad that never runs out!

So join the core, support the mission! Pledge your allegiance with your delegation, show your continued support through by joining the curation trail, and all will share in the glorious bounty of the @bananafish!


If you like this contest..SPREAD THE GOSPEL! We're grateful for your resteeming and word of mouth. Everything helps to grow together!

A special thank to @theironfelix, @raj808, @brisby, @maverickinvictus, @cyemela, @marcoriccardi, @calluna, @oivas, @anixio, @ntowl for their precious delegations, making this project a reality!

GOOD LUCK, BRAVE STORYTELLERS!

I'm really moved. It means a lot. I enjoyed so many of the stories--such good, successful efforts. It's really an honor to have mine selected from among those. Thank you!

I forgot to add, of course, congratulations to the other winners. See you next week, I hope.

Your story was the only one where I had no doubts, the others were all close. I struggled with the placement after you, at least you made things easy 😉 See you with today's story and thank you for being part of this!

Thank you--the scene you gave us, the city street, brought back memories of the days, long ago, when I walked around midtown Manhattan on lunch hour. Then, of course, I did just write that blog on Kafka and Ibsen--so, there you go. The elixir of imagination at work.
For sure, I'll be back :)

That's a powerful elixir if you know how to open the vial! :-D

@agmoore, Congratulation! I am happy to see you happy! :)

Thank you, friend :)

And I'm happy to see you happy to see her happy!

Here here to a contest winner!

Welcome to the club.

I hope to not see this gif again.

I'm glad that my choice is matching with yours, this week selecting the winners was particularly difficoult! 😅

I need to read up!! But thank you for a win! it was unexpected!

Expect it instead Mave.. you managed to engage the reader in a complex plot made simple.. bravo! See you in week 28 😉

I am happy for the winners and it's enjoyable also to read how you chose and what you mention about your choice. Feedback here is of great value. This is so much fun even only watching and not taking in every round.

Therefore I am waiting what the next story will bring us. It is already exciting and like expecting a surprising egg!

Have a good day or night!

Well I take it seriously..sometimes when I have to judge my excel sheet becomes a carnival of green, red and other colours plus notes. It's nice reading, I totally agree.. and always so various. If you want to gift us with one of your stories it will be surely a pleasure for everyone of the BF family! Week 28 is out btw ;-)

Thanks a lot. @bananafish
