Scholar and Scribe is a rather young community that was founded by @dibblers.dabs for writers within the PIZZA community. It has been around for only about 6 months but the community has grown by leaps and bounds since then. In fact, they've recently crossed a milestone of > 500 subscribers! 😱🥳 Clearly this calls for a celebration of epic proportions 😉.

Never fear! Catch up on what you've missed with my brief (and hopefully entertaining) updates on the ins and outs of the PIZZA DISCORD🎉🥳🎊
As a BIG FAN of 🍕PIZZA🍕, I always suggest joining PIZZA DISCORD if you need a quick pickmeup. 👍 It's a friendly and helpful community with regular EVENTS, AIRDROPS of various crypto tokens, discussions of several GAMES on HIVE (Splinterlands, Rising Star, HashKings, Exode, WOO, BangDefense ...), MUSIC, ART, and even bits of FINANCE ... well I think you get the idea 😄
Let the Celebrations Begin
@jfuji has taken charge of organizing this event, so it'll be him 📯🔊 making the call to arms!
As befits all new event organizers, there're always some teething problems in getting all the bells and whistles up and running trying to start the event proper 😜
Surprisingly, @definethedollar was nowhere to be found at the start of the event (or the entire event for the matter). 😜 What happened to always being FIRST in?
Well, we've got plenty of people on this particular day though. I was actually really surprised 😱. It turned out that other than the PIZZA/S&S regulars, we've got people over from @dreemport, Sitka's World, and PageDAO too! Welcome to PIZZA folks! 🙂
Yes people, this is what you'd have missed if you skipped the event. Tons of prizes on the wheel!
The Event had the usual Music, Trivia and Rumble Royale to entertain all participants on the side. But this being a 5+ HOURS long event 😱🤯, I think I'll just skip all the fluff and try to get a quick summary out, so it'll probably be less entertaining than my usual coverage 😜.
DREEMPORT
DREEMPORT Community.We welcomed @dreemsteem over from
A quick introduction to Dreemport from their About Us page.
Dreemport is an autonomous, platform-agnostic tribe of content creators united by a primary objective: forming connections between reader and writer, no matter the platform. We screen for quality content, promote and reward genuine engagement, offer a united support system, and help to increase your content's reach.
Each month, we collaborate with new projects, giving our dreemers the opportunity to be gently stretched into new comfort zones, learn new skills, and interact with a variety of communities. As the "only website that's closed on the weekends", we find balance in working hard, playing hard, and resting hard. But whatever a dreemer is doing, rest assured-there is fun involved!
Scholar & Scribe was chosen to feature on Dreemport's August challenge, and it has been very well received so far. More than 48+ entries were submitted for just the 1st week alone and they all returned in subsequent weeks! 😱 The LINK is here for those who're still interested btw 😉.
I took a quick note of what dreemsteem said and here's a super quick summary of how you can be part of the dreemport community and drive eyeballs towards your own articles too.
- 1st off visit Dreemport at https://dreemport.com/
- Click on curation and read 5 posts (it can be from any platform, not just HIVE 😉)
- Reject low quality spam posts, rank those you like in order
- Click submit and then add your own post/article in too
Do note that they're closed on weekends 🤣 because it is important to take time off 😜, something lots of us ought to learn.
SITKA WORLD
SITKA World was also another community who was introduced to us all.
A brief introduction from them as taken from their website are as follows.
The Sitka Saga is a carefully-crafted northern fantasy story, with most of a trilogy already written.
Besides the story and artwork, our unique value propositions for creative writers and fantasy readers are:
- Immersive gamified long-term fantasy ecosystem w/ community royalties
- Guild of Scribes (paid writing gigs)
- Workshops, events, and resources to help you improve your writing craft
You can join their DISCORD via this LINK or head to their site at https://www.sitkaworld.com/.
I REALLY recommend you at least click on either of those links and take a quick minute or so to "Travel into the magical realm of Rúnsala". They've got a really pretty fun gamified "choose your own adventure" style 😜.
Did I mention their artwork there is gorgeous too? 😍 It's something I'll definitely set some time aside to read (as soon as I can). I've got a feeling that this will be a really immersive world that I'll enjoy. And all of you should too! 😉
There will also be a SITKA writing contest come September where huge prizes of HSBI are up for grabs. For the uninitiated, HSBI are tokens which offer you a lifetime of upvotes whenever you make a post on the HIVE platform. This is invaluable for anyone who intends to blog regularly.
@gwajnberg very helpfully posted the link to the HSBI site https://wwww.hivesbi.com/, which to be honest, was the first I've heard of it 🤣. And this is coming from someone who has gotten himself quite a handful of said tokens already.
LETS WRITE TOGETHER
Of course, this (being an event from the Scholar & Scribe community), wouldn't be complete without an episode of the "Let's Write Together" Event, which was probably the first ever S&S event ever conducted way back in the day. Think of it as a super mashup where everyone throws in random ideas to write a story. 🤣 Yes - it gets chaotic and really weird.
I'll leave the LINK HERE for any interested readers. Do give it a look as @dibblers.dabs has painstakingly managed to form the torrent of ideas being thrown at him by all participants into a coherent story. And you've got to see how our extremely talented illustrator @anikekirsten managed to bring the story to life with here LIVE sketches too!
The finale for the night went to @thinkrdotexe who gave everyone a masterclass in the art of reading. It was his own self-written story to boot too! Going by the overwhelmingly positive comments, one can probably surmise that he has a wonderfully smooth voice 😜.
But voice aside, do check out Thinkr's writings over here at https://peakd.com/ccc/thinkrdotexe/the-hunters-instinct-a-choose-your-own-adventure-serial-novella. He picks the direction of his story via a "choose your own adventure" mechanism, so readers can vote to influence the next chapter 😉.
🎭All Good Things Must Come to an End🎭
The event finally concluded after more than 5 hours!!!
Many thanks to everyone who contributed to making this event a success and of course, all the participants too! The biggest thanks goes to @jfuji who did most of the heavy lifting and sponsored lots of prizes too.
I think I'll end it off here with a link to his long running story https://peakd.com/scholarandscribe/@jfuji/the-childseeker-s-war-index. Readers can also collect an NFT bookmark at the end of every chapter 😎, so give it a look!

Hi there @blitzzzz !!! hehehe Nice to see you again! hehehe
And nice to see your post in DreemPort - woooot! So - I've screened it in just now - since this is your first time! hehehe But for the future, if you use DreemPort - you always need to tell us where your images are from. We manually screen everything - and check all that. So it goes WAY faster when we don't have to track down images on our own ehehe
so the screenshots - we can tell those are screenshots, so we usually give those a pass :)
but like your header image - or your footer image with the (that's all folks curtains) we normally just need the link where you got that from a cc0 licensed site! :)
thanks for this!! hehehe it was an awesome recap of that party!!!!!!!!!!!!! and so fun! eheheh
Ah ok. I shall bear that in mind for future posts 😊.
To clarify though, for my header and closing image, the link where I got those from refers only to the main background and not all the icons I overlaid over too? 😅 (it could lead to a wall of text on it's own for all individual icons very quickly).
yeah the main background is fine, and the logos - just can say something like "Logos used with permission)
another thing I do is this:
Header Image made from [1](),[2](),[3](),using the markdown like that - and then it will just display so tight :)
so it kinda looks like this... (and the links will only go to dreemport haha)
Header Image made with 1,2,3
see how tight that looks? :)
for Hive - many communities won't make a big deal about images (thought they should hehe) but for DreemPort, yeah... i explained why hehehee
but... it's not just us. Other communities sometimes need to check before giving out whale votes. There are some communities that simply CAN'T give out those whale votes without verifying that all the images used are copyright free. hehehe And... I've known of a few that have literally passed by a post because they only have 24 hours to curate and they can't get the author to edit in time.
so... ya never know when a whale is passing by! hahahaha Always be ready LOLOLOLOL
Thank alot for the tips! 😊 I'll definitely bear all these in mind. Would it be alright to just put all these links right at the end of the whole post? Or do they have to immediately follow the picture?
!PIZZA for you, fellow metafren
!PIZZA to you too!
