This Week's Issue
NewsNews
Welcome to Books & Articles Weekly.
Things have quieted down around here, but we’re still getting quality content. I’m happy to say that we are getting more original poetry and fiction on a regular basis. I want to mention @Tony's post looking for input about his new reader app. I am in the market for one, so I'm excited to see his final product. @cryotosensei made the top five with two of his book reviews. Impressive feat! Thanks to everyone who contributed.
There is a zap award for the top 5 posts weekly. It will be broken down as follows:
- 1000 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
Posts will be judged using SN zaprank. The cut off time is 9:00am EST (1300GMT) Saturday morning. I will post the top 5 winners shortly around 9:00am every Saturday morning.
I reserve the right to not award any sats for the week. I also reserve the right to deny sat awards to bare link posts. I recognize that link posts can be valuable, so I will only only exercise discretion for low quality links that garner few sats or engagement from stackers.
Happy reading!
As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.
