💛 HOW TO GET A WHEEL SPIN ⚪

Remember, you do not have to attend the event to get a spin. But there will be lots of bonus spins and PIZZA token prizes for those who do make it!

The ways to enter below stack: you can potentially do all of them for a huge prize payout!

⚠️ DEADLINE: Oct 23 at 11:59PM EST ⚠️

⚪ 1 silver spin: leave a comment in this post that quotes your favourite line from The Childseeker's War. This can be from any of the parts!

⚪ 1 silver spin: leave a comment in this post giving me some feedback on this serialized approach. Did you like the story being trickled out? Did the contests help / get annoying? If you have a lot to say, you can earn a gold spin by making a post about this project (see below).

⚪ 1 silver spin: Show up at the event—at some point I will collect hive usernames from the attendees to spin.

⚪ 1 silver spin: Share this post on social media, and link the social post in this thread (or if using Twitter, include the #hive hashtag so @poshtoken picks up on it).

⚪ 1 silver spin: All readlist members (as of this post) will get a free silver spin.

⚪ 1 silver spin: If you've ever entered a Childseeker's War contest before (win or lose), you'll be entered into a raffle for a spin (15 total winners). I will tag the full list of those users below, and announce the spin winners closer to the event.

💛 1 gold spin: Attend the event and win The Childseeker's War trivia event!

💛 1 gold spin: Write a Hive post about The Childseeker's War—this might be a review, your thoughts on the publishing approach, feedback on how I ran contests, etc. Post a link to your post in this thread.

💛 1 gold spin: Five spins will be raffled to read list members (as of this post)

💛 1 gold spin: Five spins will be raffled to the list of past participants

💛 1 gold spin: Chance to win a gold spin from the silver wheel!

💛 1 gold spin: TBD during the event—I'm sure we'll come up with some fun ways to give away more spins!

📚 NFTBook prize note: the NFTs on raffle are ERC-20 NFTs on Polygon. You will need to supply an ERC-20 wallet address (they start with 0x) in order to receive them. All readlist members can claim a Regular Edition Childseeker's War NFTBook! :)

Prize over or underflow

If I end up with leftover prizes, the remainder will be flowed into the next read-to-win contest I run. (Yup, this means there will another story coming!)

He looked around at the unit, somehow feeling embarrassed, even at a time like this. He pulled away his strings and popped the snaps, careful to keep his movements slow. The clothing fell away, and Mossa took a step forward, her features relaxing as she looked over the scars.

count me in

thanks

many ways to win! excellent.
my entry:

She toed at the floor and placed her hands on her hips. Her sharp’s blade stuck out at a funny angle. “You make my life complicated, Frix.”
“Not on purpose.”
She looked up at her crew. “Roots group! Get down here and secure them. All of them. They’re the Head of Spark’s prisoners now.”
“Hey, what?” said Roddem.
“I don’t trust you, sentry,” Mossa said.

They both snorted stifled laughs at the un-sexiness of it for a moment, then settled again. He drunk in the sight of her body, bathed in starlight, strong and supple and smooth and soft, her scars a thousand gorgeous dimples, like rockfleck in granite.

Count me in again!

Thanks for the prize! I cannot believe that this story is coming to an end, time flies.

I've found the length of each part to be perfect this time around. Just long enough I can get into the story, but not so long I can't digest it in one sitting. The contest format works for me as well as it always reminds me it is time to catch up on parts I've missed. Thanks as always for sharing, here is my favorite current quote.

She toed at the floor and placed her hands on her hips. Her sharp’s blade stuck out at a funny angle. “You make my life complicated, Frix.”

Amazing, thanks so much for the prizes! Congratulations on getting close to completion, and look forward to the party.
Count me in again please.
from ch7.pt2.

A legal duel only required two parties from different families with seedblessed weapons. A good duel featured an even skill match, or a legitimate dispute. It was even better if the participants came from within the same triad or if the dispute was between families from triads with very different prestige. It was all about the drama.

Thank you very much for the prizes and congratulations to the rest of the winners.

"“You move your ass, right now!” shouted Turner."

I liked the story, the truth is that it has been interesting and the contests seem like a great success to promote it. A story by chapters hooks a lot, it has been like watching a series. Waiting to see what happens next.
Although I am very clueless I hope to remember and be at the event.
I always try to share interesting Hive stories on Twitter.

I would love to join the reading list.

I appreciate your social media sharing for sure! It really helps.

I will add you to the readlist although there are only two more installments in the story. You will have the chance to join early in the next story's readlist though! I may do an "opt-out" version though hehe.

“Hold it, or he’s dead!” Frix said. The man’s eyes bulged and he struggled. Frix looked behind him to make sure the first rusher was indeed unconscious—yup. The ranged units circled, closing in

very tense part in this chapter!! wow I can't believe it that it is almost done!

Frix’s heart did a somersault; the last time he seen her was on their beach. Her face had been soft and inviting then. Now, as she strode towards him, all he saw was her war mask.

Here we go!

Mossa’s mask broke for a second, her eyes misty and far away. “You come back, okay? You come back to me.”
“I’ll come back,” he said.

Those who had fallen picked themselves back up, but they were sluggish and distracted by the calamity.

This has been an awesome trip.
Thank you !!

I liked the story, the contests and the serialized approach, both for the parts of the novel and the giveaways.

Having something to read every few days helped keeping the attention high, while increasing the curiosity towards the future events of the story.

Also, publishing more posts, instead of a bigger one, had surely increased your chances to get noticed by more users on Hive, thus bringing more viewers and followers.

I hope to be able to join your party on Discord... even if for me it's a bit late in the evening, so I might be already sleeping 😴

Anyway, I'm looking forward your next story! 🔥

Thanks for the journey.


From Chapter 17: The Seedwind (pt. 5)

Frix’s heart did a somersault; the last time he seen her was on their beach. Her face had been soft and inviting then. Now, as she strode towards him, all he saw was her war mask.

She stopped and stood several paces away.

They looked at each other for what seemed like an age [...]

My favorite line is

Frix saw. It was a weird silver contraption, maybe about as wide as a small meeting tent and half his own height. Its overall shape reminded him of a skipping stone: fat and squat. Except it was too ovaloid to be a perfect stone, plus, if it was anything like the ones he remembered from the bridge, they grew spiky legs when they moved.
