I found Steemit a week ago when someone mentioned it in a Reddit post about making money from social network sites. Steemit's community looked pretty cool, so I thought I might like to be a part of it.
I'm probably going to be posting a variety of different things; fiction I write, musings and advice about trading items on Steam (the Valve one), and sharing any game-related stories or screenshots that I thought were pretty cool. I've been trying to find a community that's open to discussion about virtual economies, most of the communities out there are (understandably) based on trading the items themselves, and not discussing the trading economy. Personally, I find the reasons behind price fluctuations and changes in supply and demand more interesting than the trading itself, but struggle to find anyone who shares this interest. No idea if any like-minded people can be found on Steemit, but you do have a large community of cryptocurrency enthusiasts here, and with my very limited knowledge of that subject I don't see too much of a leap between virtual currencies and virtual commodities.
In regards to my writing, normally write pretty generic fantasy stories and worldbuilding, but I've recently been branching into horror genres. I'm a fan of cosmic horror and have a lot of fun writing terrible horror stories. Whether or not they're scary is up for debate, I can't scare myself by writing my own work, so I'm always unsure about the quality. Luckily for me, it doesn't have to be good for me to enjoy writing it.
My internet connection is acting up right now, so I'm having a hard time browsing posts, but I'm looking forward to being a part of the Steemit community.
