@blacklux had a fabulous idea - to adopt a redfish or minnow (or two) every week.
#adoptme is the hashtag to follow to support the newcomers and/or older little fish on this platform.
A redfish/plancton has less than 500 SP and no significant amount of Steem or SBD just sitting in the wallet. A minnow has less than 5000. For our purposes - we want to support the newcomers, we are looking for people with less than 1000 SP.
The Freewrite House decided to join the fun!! Of course, being the Freewrite House, we are going to pick Freewriters for this process.
So what's this thing about?
Once a week we will pick 1 steemian (plankton/redfish) and we are going to adopt them. If we don't have a lot of other voting commitments that week, we might choose two.
We will upvote at 50%, up to 2 posts per day of the adopted steemians. We will also resteem 1 of their post per day for exactly 7 days.
Hopefully, many of you will support the redfish/minnow of the week as well and the steemian will grow in this platform.
@ blackly put out the call:
"I would like to see people doing the same, if we all adopt someone we can all grow together!"
And we listened.
How Do You Get Picked?
Every week, we will make a post to pick 1 or 2 new steemians. In the comments, write "ADOPT ME!"
That is all.
As long as this applies:
- You MUST be a PLANKTON/REDFISH/Minnow
- You Must be a FREEWRITER
- You ONLY POST ORIGINAL CONTENT
- You DON'T SPAM
- IF YOU USE INTERNET PICS YOU HAVE TO SOURCE THEM CORRECTLY
Easy, right? So if you're a plankton/minnow, post original content and don't fill Steemit with spam - then you can be adopted!
Also: You can nominate people to be adopted, just write their name in the comments. If you do, please check and make sure that all the conditions apply to your nominee.
We will:
- Check the profiles of all the people who apply
- announce the name of the adopted Redfish(s) in a post.
- The steemian(s) will get 7 days of upvotes and resteems!
- We will use the hashtag #adoptme for all posts associated with this initiative.
The Uncle/Auntie Idea
To make this more impactful, @blacklux came up with the auntie and uncle idea.
If you want to help but all your upvotes are already committed? No worries, become an uncle/auntie to the adopted steemians!
How is that done?
Easy! Just resteem our adopted steemian(s) post for a week! That way you will help them to get more exposure here in this platform.
Tell us if you want to be an auntie/uncle and if you do the resteems, your name will be on the next post!!
We already have some dedicated Aunties and Uncles that are very supportive.
@kaelci is sponsoring each adoptee with 2 shares of SBI!!
Uncle Bruni @wonderwop is upvoting, resteeming, and encouraging all the adopted little fish.
Let's do this!
Go and write Adopt Me! In the comments below.

I would like to nominate @juliamulcahy she was brave enough to tackle the weekend 3 prompt #freewrite and I believe she qualifies as a plankton. 💕
As always - you rock!!!
Ah, that’s so nice, @wonderwop, thank you. ❤️
You just keep putting out those top quality #freewrites and I'll be watching. 👀 Out for them.

I'll certainly do my best. :)
ADOPT ME
We love to! Start freewriting with us and put your name up for adoption again. You find the daily prompt @mariannewest profile.
OK but can I choose to write over whatever topic I want or will it be specified?
Here is today's prompt. Tomorrow, it will be a different one. Look for this graphics every day. Saturday is a bit different but you will see. It is all explained.
