Astounding Steemit Stories

Volume 10

November 7^th 2017

Pretty small week. You would think that trying to build my vote power back up I would have had a lot of time to search out new Authors/Storytellers. The only problem with that would be I would want to read, then comment, then vote. So it would have defeated trying to rebuild vote power. But I did find a couple of people.

Stories from BraveHeart #1 - Lost and Alone In Las Vegas.
Here is a short preview before her story:

Here is a story about a little dog that has found a place in my heart. Always loyal, always by my side. Hints of fiction and a splattering of truths, Chico is real, he was a rescue dog from Las Vegas, and I do indeed have two other dogs named Carlos and Lucy.

It was a very touching story. I am a sucker for a good lost dog story, and when that dog just happens to be a little Chihuahua, well it pulls on my heart strings. (yes sometimes I do have a heart). And I happen to be a very controlled slave to a Chihuahua, well actually 3 of them.

So give her stories a read, I am sure you will find one maybe two wet eyes during the readings.

ADSactly

A.D.S.A.C.T.L.Y = Autonomous Decentralized Society Acting Cooperatively to Leverage You! - We Have exactly what your looking for when you need it MOST!

Okay, so I really do not know what they are totally about. It is a Discord group, and I have yet to go to Discord, or taken the time to learn about Discord Chat.

They do however have a heck of a lot of short stories from I am guessing their members. @greenrun pointed me in there direction. They not only have a lot of stories, but also some poetry, and helpful post for new steemians. So drop on by their Steemit page, and see what they have to offer, I am sure you will find several short stories worth reading.

I forgot to mention

@pibara (Rob J Meijer) edit contest request. Beta reading contest Ragnarok Conspiracy : Part three; $23.5 SBD in prize money.

Like in the previous installments of this lottery, I am looking for beta reading style feedback on my draft chapters.
This month there are ten prizes to be won:

A $ 1.5 SBD prize for each of the chapters.
A $10.0 SBD prize for part two of Ragnarok Conspiracy as a whole.

I have been trying to help so has @doughtaker, so come and give us and @pibara a hand. And yes he is serious. I did win some in the first round, odds were against me in the second round, but it is still a fun thing to do. By trying, and I do mean trying, I think I am becoming better at edit help, I have like 200,000 miles to go before I am even a half assed editor, but I am trying, and by trying I am learning, You can too. Read and let him know where things were hard to read, that simple.

It may be awhile for the next update. I have a new toy. I broke down and bought a Nikon D7500 Camera.
Here is a picture of our "Loki, Onyx, and Shasta". The images were cropped out, and still pretty good sized pictures. Of course I forgot that cameras have red-eye fixing, when using a flash, but like I said I forgot.

If you have a nicer way of organizing the list above let me know. Using dots to separate and try to keep them somewhat organized as on volume 9, seemed to be a little bit messy. I am not sure I prefer this method either though.

Improvements and or suggestions, feel free to make them in the comments section; and a great big thank you to all the authors out there, for providing me with reading enjoyment.

I also use the comment section to leave post of Authors I find, and the occasional writing contest, or when someone ask for help. And feel free to just leave a general I need to contact you kind of post if you want.

Also story Link's are not spam so feel free to drop a link you find, or your own when you have a new story out. Remember as an Author/Storyteller, you need to let people know you are out there.
