Hoist the colours, proud fiction writers!
Our potassium deity was blessed with the glorious offerings from our tribe for our 53rd edition! Greetings, fine fellows of the Bananafish! @Brisby here and I'd like to thank you wondrous wordsmiths for celebrating Finish The Story's return to the waters of Steemit with us! Sincerely @Maparari, @Agmoore, @Gaby-Crb, @Theironfelix, @Sarez, @Oivas, & @Jadams2k18 you each took my beginning piece to realms I'd never imagined and I loved it!
Though I've said this before, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that our community's strength is from the contributions and efforts of our members and participants. Each edition gives us the opportunity to expand upon our writing skills, showcase the impressive talents of the phenomenal writers on this platform and create friendships through our comments as we exchange ideas. Reading some of the comments to the authors' entries solidifies my belief that we've some of the most caring and thoughtful people on the blockchain in our group! š
Let's all congratulate @Jadams2k18 for receiving a well-deserved vote from the Curie Community on his story!!
Now, there ain't no party like a Bananafish party because this Bananafish party has SNAX (along with other sweet rewards)!š
What's boiling in the bananafish kitchen?

For those who like instructions with photos, here's a handy tutorial.
- GRAND PRIZE - 10 STEEM & 500 SNAX tokens: @Agmoore
Agmoore's phenomenal piece is a dark offering of delight. La Sentinelle, a powerful sentience, has its own decisions regarding Hugo's fate. Incorporating incredible detail, Agmoore gives such depth to the lighthouse's character that you'll feel as though you are right there with the keeper. Cast aside your hopes for a happy ending but not the urge to read this terrific entry.
- SECOND PRIZE - 6 STEEM & 200 SNAX tokens: @Gaby-Crb
Do you love mecha anime, stories of automatons, or sea monsters? Then get ready to get your action on with Gaby's battle royale! Her story offers flowing momentum while balancing tension upon the steel edge of La Sentinelle's sword. Fantastic pacing, awesome creativity, and an ending that will have you rooting for more. Read for yourself to learn why nobody should dare mess with Hugo's protector.
- THIRD PRIZE - 4 STEEM & 200 SNAX tokens: @Jadams2k18
Jadams hits home with a thought provoking reunion with Hugo's long deceased friend. In the lighthouse keeper's desperate hour, he's given comfort and guidance when he needs it the most. Important details about Hugo's past are revealed, tough questions are asked, and in the end, hope prevails. Treat yourself to this piece. Trust me, you'll be happy that you did.
- POPULAR VOTE - Not achieved
Unfortunately, we did not receive enough votes (three were necessary) to unlock the popular vote category. I'll admit that I want to weep for this as I enjoy giving away the contents of our potassium treasure chest. But, a Bananafish's word is its bond so I'm unable to award the 10 SBI & 100 SNAX tokens. We were SO close! One more vote and these sweet rewards would have spilled forth! Let's crack this beauty open in our 54th Edition, dear tribe. Please remember to vote for your favorite story.
Now, that being said, I do want to express my appreciation to @Agmoore & @Calluna for casting their votes. So it is with gratitude to you both that I'll be personally purchasing you and those who you voted for (@Maparari andrespectively) one SBI share each within the next week.
