The SECOND Fractal Writing Contest is over. There were nine contestants, three times more than the previous contest! Most entries were themed after an alien invasion, but one of them involved references to magic used by other space races, a subject that is very interesting to me.
So, the winner for week #2 is: 
for this abstract.
The contest post expired with a reward of 3.703 SBD, so
gets half of that (rounded up): 2.000 SBD. I decided to split the rest of the SBD reward to two other entries that I liked a lot, they both get 0.850 SBD.
Congratulations to all of them! Also a big thank you to all participants and upvoters. If there are enough SBDs made by the contest post, I will try to reward a 2nd- and 3rd- place winner, as well.
This week, the third installment of the Fractal Writing Contest will run.
The Contest
Each post in this contest series will contain a fractal, a 2-dimensional representation of a complex mathematical formula. The participants have to post a comment with something inspired by the fractal, be it just a title, a haiku, a story, whatever.
Rules
- You have to reply with a comment in the contest post.
- The reply must be inspired by the fractal, but no explanation needed.
- Any kind of content is acceptable: just a title, a haiku, a poem, a short story, a painting, a photo, a video, a doodle, whatever. The content must be yours, no links to other people's work accepted.
- I will pick the best reply, when the post expires (1 week after posting it).
- The winner gets half the SBD made in the post, minimum 1 SBD. If there are enough SBDs made by the contest post, I will try to reward a 2nd- and 3rd- place winner, as well.
- Upvotes and resteems are welcomed, but not necessary to participate.
