News

Welcome to Books & Articles Weekly. The big news around SN is crossposting. I think this is a fantastic upgrade, and I can already see its effects in the territories I founded. Two stackers, @SimpleStacker and @hasherstacker, earned what I am calling two legs of the coveted Siggy Triple Crown, which means placing in the Top Five posts of the week in three of my four territories. A Quadruple Crown is theoretically possible, but unlikely. I will figure out the reward for a Triple Crown if and when it happens.
Otherwise, it was another good week for the territory. @denlillaapan, a real, big time writer and editor (just ask him if you don’t believe me), wrote an original review of Natalie Brunell’s book. I’m grateful, as always, for his posts. @billytheked gave us the next chapter of his novel, and also announced a name change for his territory. Whatever that change is, it will still be a place that attracts great writing.

Finally, there will be no issue of the Weekly next week. I will be travelling. I will probably put out a double issue on January 24th.

Thanks to everyone who contributed.

There is a zap award for the top 5 posts weekly. It will be broken down as follows:

  1. 1000 sats
  2. 250 sats
  3. 250 sats
  4. 250 sats
  5. 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.

-Sagas of the Lincoln County War by @billytheked

@billytheked has given us some of the best fiction we have seen on SN, and this is no exception.

@TotallyHumanWriter gives us the next installment of what I like to think of as his memoirs. It’s worth your time.

I love this idea of a non book club. As this territory has proven a few times, it’s tough to make one work online. (unless you are @elvismercury)

Thanks for the shout-out!

Also, I'm enjoying the cross-posting, characteristicaly understated but it packs a big punch (@k00b)

As this territory has proven a few times, it’s tough to make one work online.

Hence the nomenclature. One cannot not succeed at organizing a non-club.
