Thanks for turning me on to more great Steemit authors. I was surprised to see my post under the Best Life Advice. Very funny seeing how the story involves waking up surrounded by vultures. Good life tip: Don't pass out around vultures, you may become breakfast. I can't wait to read all these posts you shared here. Thank you.
Thank you! You have been nominated, I just put it up here for people to vote. :-)
And yes, the best part is reading all the great stuff people recommended.
Thanks for the contest and vote worthy postings shared here. Namaste :)
I'm a little sad to see no poetry anywhere in this project. There's a lot of great poets here, and poetry is a regular daily feature by a lot of great authors. Well to be fair, @pfunk's "A Trip Through the Park" IS a poem, both visually and literally. Poetry always sneaks in, may as well make a place for it at the table ;)
Otherwise, great list and great nominations. Thanks for exposing the authors in these categories and giving me moar awesome to follow :)
Agreed, there should definitely be more categories.
There is so many extraordinary people with extraordinary talent here on Steemit. I am glad to be a part of it.
Oh wow @burnin you've put a LOT of work into this!

This is very interesting. I hope to make it on here someday. I've a question though. Is this only for those who are "verified" or somehow affiliated with an organization of sorts? I'm not sure I'd fit in with some of these groups. I've nothing against them of course and I do appreciate groups who help push me in the right direction.
All apologies in advance if this was not right forum for my words.
Hi! This was open to anyone, no affiliation necessary. Every nomination was made by other people on the nomination post.

I followed you ;)
