I wasn't looking for friends and I certainly wasn't looking for a house. When I first came across 
The #freewrite prompts that are posted every day by
The only rule is to use the prompt in the story. If someone wants to write longer than the 5 minutes, if they want to edit their work, or not, the freedom is completely up to them. What Marianne gives is the freedom from all rules and constraints.
It was that freedom that allowed our group to open up with our creativity and our personalities. Aspects of our character and stories from our pasts come out while writing. Reading each other's stories, and interacting in the comments, quickly drew us together. We began to look forward to the next prompt, the next story, and the next conversation that would follow. We grew to care for each other.
A month ago my good friend, 
twisted creative minds! As the number of stories keeps growing in our #Steemhome,
The Old Steemians Home Residents
In the SteemHome, she started off as our honored Lady and has since been elevated to a Goddess. Don't worry, she's of the benign variety. (I wouldn't go getting her angry though, just in case! 😉)
, my friend of many years and the one who brought me to Steemit, is the creator of the SteemHome (also known as The Old Stemians Home and formerly referred to as the SteemHouse). He loves to laugh, has a good heart and is always supportive of those he cares about. His quirky story for his friends took off and became a monster that he could not control! (Ha! Ha!😛 )
I see you and I losing track of time while we argue over bots and squirrels. Then raiding the fridge for snacks and watching a movie.

's stories bring light and laughter to the SteemHome. Using Sims 4, she built the home and made Sims for each of us! Her sense of whimsy and her sweet heart brighten every corner (even the basement tunnels) and makes everyone feel welcome. Snook goes over and beyond giving her best each and every day, even when exhausted! She's constantly striving to improve her skills and share her knowledge with others!
I see us in our SteemHome, giggling at 2 A.M. over the weirdest topics and playing silly games. Everyone keeps telling us to quiet down, and we end up just laughing harder!

This nutjob...😁
Omra's story had me crying in laughter! His idea was fun and the possibilties seemed endless. Since Christmas was near, I wanted our group to spend the holiday together in our home.
I began as a loopy old lady in the home who had an obsession with squirrels. Then,

Your first story brought music to the home. A song of magical fish and a piano solo by our lovable fairy winged
Then your second story brought a weekly play by the Old Steemians! You gave us a much needed alien and encouraged a trigger happy over the top stage actress! 🔫
I see us having crazy house parties that get so loud, the cops are called. 😎

Combo Story- Old Steemian Home/ Constrained Writing Contest # 14
wrote the most beautiful testament to how powerful and reaching an online friendship can be. Reading her story, knowing that she wanted us there with her, that she thought of us and our SteemHome to get her through a difficult time, grabbed my heart. Any words that I can possibly write pale in comparison to the emotion she brought to our home. In her story, she created an excellent library filled with stories and art. It's a place to lose ourselves in.
I imagine sitting with you in the library on a winter's day. We're drinking hot cocoa, talking about our favorite books, and looking the birds who come to the feeder.
Day 77: 5 Minute Freewrite Story- The Steemian Home- The Library
writes stories that make you forget that you are reading! He crafts these tales from history, his personal experiences and from his vast imaginings! Sharp as a tack, he knows what's going on and why. Our General Captain in the story, he gave a name to the town we live in and the event that set us apart from our neighbors. We count on him for guidance and to reign in some of the more rambunctious (Omra-Sky) individuals.
I imagine us sitting for hours on the porch, drinking tea and getting lost as he tells stories from his past. For him, even Omra-sky and I will stop bickering, and listen.
Awakening
He also nearly dropped a whale on our house! That's crazy! (I like it! 😁 👍)
