The results of Week 100 of Zapfic... possibly the last zapfic on the STEEM blockchain?

It's ZAPFIC!

Steem's longest running shortest story contest!

Results of week 100... and another pause to Zapfic

IMG_Spring_20200301_154055_processed.jpg

What is #zapfic? Well I was the first to use the hashtag, so I guess I invented it, and I get to decide what it means.

#zapfic is a very short story written in less than 240 characters*.

Here are the entries from Week 100!

There were wonderful 11 valid entries and two equally fabulous entries that didn’t quite qualify as zapfics! Here are the valid entries…

So what now?

Since the attempted hostile take over of Steem we have been battling for the STEEM we love. It is clear that Justin Sun will not let us continue our great project as we - the STEEM community - choose it to be. We need to find a way out. We need to find a way where we can control our destiny.

Please - if you haven't already - read this post: https://steempeak.com/@blocktrades/why-i-won-t-be-compromising-with-justin-sun

Until we have decided what that path will be - and who choses to come along with us - I have decided to pause Zapfic again.

I, @felt.buzz, and therefore Zapfic will not stay on a Sun controlled blockchain. You can not buy a community.

You can not buy me.

There is a better future elsewhere. A place without SUN but a place that is brighter, full of hope, and one that will have the spirit of STEEM.

100 weeks seems like a nice round number to pause on.

Zapfic will be back...

... just (probably) not on Steem

I will see you - I hope - very soon!

@Felt.Buzz is a proud supporter of the TRUE spirit of the STEEM blockchain!

Hello, friend @felt.buzz. You didn't name me among the participants even though i did participate and put my link. I'll leave you the capture to confirm. Congratulations to the winners and a big hug for this 100th week.

Don't worry, friend @felt.buzz, without any problem for that, it is a great pleasure for me to participate in your great contest. Waiting for the next one, then, it's a great literary exercise that I appreciate. A hug and a thousand thanks for answering.

Hi @felt.buzz. No problem. I just have my acknowledgement from you of my entry. Thanks so much for the Tokens. Always a blessing to get them. I know things are pretty hectic this week, with tomorrow being a big day.

Have a great rest of your week. And take care.

Thanks so much @felt.buzz and Congratulations to @danile666 and @lighteye!
I can't imagine going without your ZapFic contest so I hope to see you on HIVE. It might take me a couple of weeks to get there.
