No restrictions on whether it has been published before. Others have already. I don't enforce many rules here.
Ha! Any rules other than common sense?
Anything u think ppl like in particular?

Yeah, just common sense. Generally, good writing works here. There hasn't been much fiction posted yet, although that may be changing. Personally I enjoy a good "my bitcoin story." I'm amazed by the ways people get hooked. Of course I don't want to see the territory get limited to bitcoin topics. Although I'm personally not interested, there are many Sci Fi fans on SN.

Sebastian insists that the environment is a cause worth dying for and encourages her to adopt the leading role of Captain. She apprehensively accepts the position, but mainly to impress dreamy Sebastian who has proven very attractive! Even though she has never fired a weapon, she is thrust into commanding Delta Squad.
Destiny builds Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador to be a renewable energy, bitcoin mining paradise. Though she’s finally achieved worldwide fame, the old desire to take revenge against her father is never far from her thoughts. Just as Sebastian is about to confess that her altruism proves her worthy of her father’s love — fire breaks out! Destiny orders Delta Squad to pile into her Humvee to investigate…
