Dear subscriber,

Your contributions this week, whether in the form of sats zapped or written compositions, have made a gargantuan difference to the founder of the recently added territory on SN, ~the_stacker_muse. These, and your tolerance for my inanities, are to your massive credit. To everyone reading this, thank you.

But this is just the beginning. You are likely to still hear from me going forward. For as long as it is physically possible, I plan to continue my endorsement of all the creators on here on SN.

So far, I'm awed by the enthusiasm that exists on SN toward creative writing. If there are more of you, then what are you waiting for?

Territory Announcement: The Best Under 400 WRITING CONTEST

As announced on Tuesday, I have pledged 10% of the earnings from ~the_stacker_muse plus 4000 sats to the top under-400-word territory post in response to the prompt:

"client list"

That means there is a 4484 sat prize still on the table for the Best Under 400 this week, which will be judged and announced at high noon (EST) on Tuesday. If you would like your piece considered, please clearly indicate the word count somewhere in the post. Those are the only rules, so be creative!

This week I chose to participate, but only in the interest of encouraging others to do so. If mine ranks highest, then the reward will be saved and added to next week's prize.
