This Week's Issue

News

Welcome to Books & Articles Weekly.

It’s not hyperbole to say there’s a lot going on around here. Stacker News Fiction Month has opened up the possibilities for this territory to showcase original writing. That is thanks to @Scoresby and @TotallyHumanWriter for coming up with the idea and seeing it through, and to everyone who participated. The winners will be announced soon. @Scoresby posted an article with links to all of the submissions. Not surprisingly, it is this week’s top post. I will permanently be placing it in the index so that it will be re-published each week. The other big news... Starting next week, there will be 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.

Siggy’s Suggestions

[FM] Sagas of the Lincoln County War by @billytheked

This post from @billytheked is a story being published in parts. You can find the link to previous installments at the top of the post. I am thoroughly enjoying it, and I think you will too. I look forward to reading the rest. @billytheked runs ~the_stacker_muse territory, which features original writing and also holds regular contests. Be sure to check it out.

"Tokemon" (chapter draft) by @TheFictionFactory

@TheFictionFactory has come up with the idea of posting drafts to a story in progress and getting input from others. Although there weren’t many replies, they were thoughtful and productive. I hope this trend continues with other writers. It fosters engagement, and it will be especially gratifying to read the final draft.
