Reply below with your recommendation. I ask only for a very brief explanation of why I should delegate to you (or your recommended cause).
You can see who I delegate to here: https://steembottracker.com/delegation.html (enter "vdux" into the search bar on that page).
PS -- if you've already asked me for delegation and I didn't give it to you, I'm so sorry, I lose track of all the requests. Please accept my apologies and reply below to remind me!
Hello Mark, speaking in the name of all the Bananafish collective here, whose delegating core members are @calluna, @ntowl, @marcoriccardi, @brisby, @tristancarax, @theironfelix, @dirge, @gwilberiol, @felt.buzz, @raj808, me @f3nix, @oivas, @michaias, @cyemela, @maverickinvictus.
Phew. We're a lot and these 50-150 delegations (apart from mine which is a bit bigger) help the bananfish to create a decentralized and selfless community. Through our votes, we sustain writers and try to create a place where solidarity and creativity prosper. You know us after all.. We are down on earth, sincere and against every circlejerk, dogmatism, or lobbyism. We're pacifist and believe in the possibility of creating a better word, also through little things like friendly communities around a contest. If you want to consider us, we will welcome you to our family and I promise that your delegation will be used for the best, according to our shared values. Maybe we can also create a closer collaboration. That would be very cool. All the best my friend!
Ditto!
I second this nomination! We, Bananafish Tribe, are interested in building a little place here on Steemit, where creativty in fiction and poetry could be rewarded. We have two weekly contests running: Finish the Story and Every Image Has Its Haiku, and we are preparing a "gamebook-like" collaborative writing experience.
We have a lot of fun together while we try to enhance our writing skills. We are a community worldwide spread, and everyone helps the others to improve with comments and confrontation.
Your delegation would be used only for rewarding our writers and poets, many of which benefit from the Steem they earn with posts, coming from countries like Venezuela or Nigeria, whose FIAT currency is going through moments of extreme weakness.
Thank you for this initiative!
I concur and endorse le @bananafish because I told of the Diety about this oppurtunity. I wanna see every member, from core members to new members, grow. ‘Tis a simple dream for us unpriveleged folks trying to survive in a very Real World. ;^D
Thanks for your words and of course thanks to @vdux for this opportunity! Together we're strong.
Thanks for the heads up, Felix! Hope you're having a fine Saturday! 😁
Indeed I am, anyways, like to see your comments (haven't been seeing them recently) :^
My apologies for that, I've no desire to disappoint. 🤗
I think it's great that you do so much to support so many fantastic initiatives!
I'd like to add in my seconding (or should I say my sixthing? 😁) of the nomination for @Bananafish. The Bananafish Tribe is more than just the works of one or two people (though I must give a huge shout out to @F3nix and @Marco for their constant efforts in organization, creativity, community growth and promotion as well as to @Theironfelix who takes so much time each day to be there for everyone with heartfelt support).
This group has grown together in the desire for everyone involved to have joy in the sharing of creative works and the comfort of a genuine community.
Thank you for this opportunity and I hope that you have yourself a wonderful weekend!
My vote would go to @bananafish as well because it rewards writers on Steemit.
The publishing initiatives are great. Been supporting them as well. Work in publishing and would like to see these realms merge.
Only @bananafish remains an open inclusive place where people can write every week on Steemit. Like a magazine rewarding journalists for their contributions. Your SP delegation would add to their reward.
@bananafish gets my vote. Thanks @vdux!
:-)
@vdux, wow. Great stuff.
I'll be fifth in line to nominate @bananafish.
I've had a lot of fun being challenged with the weekly prompts through the Finish The Story Contests. The community is supportive both in their negative and constructive feedback.
The thing I'm really excited about is the current project being worked on within the @bananafish realms, Quest in the Realms (coming out very soon). I purposed this idea to the bananafish knights months ago, and then @f3nix stood up and took the lead, as the fearless leader he seems to be. His skills with managing this operation has made it an exciting journey for all us knights involved in making this large project come together (from my perspective at least).
Yes gaining momentum I see
Thanks Tris! Let's say that I took your idea seriously. I didn't forget your original vision of a book. We will work for that and this is just a step of many others to come. We can do everything if we work together.
@bananafish, that is why I'm writing with you guys so much. Rarely when I have presented an idea, people take it and run with it. They mostly be like, "That sounds great. You do that." Then I'm like, "I don't know how to do everything by myself. arrg." 8-)
Do you know how hard it is for my to go one step at a time??? hahaha
Hahah it's like that I know..well when things are done together it's more fun!
You guys rock
I support the application submitted by @bananafish. It is a very valuable group and project, which develops a worthy work in favor of quality written production, literary creation and cultivation of the spirit. It would be a very wise decision to grant you that SP delegation.
This project has shown a lot of engagement and organization. I'm impressed and actually joined the @bananafish voting trail a while back. You may see my contributions here/there. Worldwide!
Thank you, Jose, for your endorsement and appreciation. With your help and that of our haijin friends we're creating a model where quality goes along with friendship and openness to everyone's unicity.
I don't know if you like fiction, or speculative fiction, for that matter. But you can check out @gardengnomepubs as @photoanthill suggested. We're actually looking for feedback on a curation rewards program for our members. There are four things you'll be supporting if you do delegate to us:
If you can support these initiatives, we'd love a delegation. In return, we'll upvote your posts and promote you as a generous sponsor.
I like fiction. I just published a fiction novella, Consensusland. I would certainly support anybody trying to build that community on the steem blockchain. Who would I delegate to?
Thank you. @gardengnomepubs
Where is your novella? Is it on Amazon? I can promote it a few times for our readers. Right now it's small, but as we grow I can continue to add it into the promo mix every so often.
Great, ok, @gardengnomepubs. First steem-powered publishing house!
Yes, my book is on Amazon. Just published! ebook only right now, paperback and hard cover soon. I believe it should be available in all formats from all online retailers now, or very soon. Barnes and Noble, iBooks, Booktopia, Google, Kobo...maybe a few others, I didn't handle that myself.
Also available directly from the publisher here: https://www.consensuslandbook.com/buy/
Happy to have you mention it. You should read it first! What if it's a terrible book? You wouldn't want to promote it!
Hey, that looks like a great read! I love the title. The premise looks good too.
You're in Rockville? I'm in Gettysburg. Not that far a drive. :-)
True! I sure hope it's a good read, and I'll be happy if it makes its way to relevance. Or at least, gets enough people curious enough to spent $5 on the ebook!
BTW, @gardengnomepubs just picked up a nice 100 SP delegation and put out a submissions call to contributors.
I nominate @cleanplanet! They encourage people to go out and pick up litter wherever in the world they are, and reward them with upvotes and tokens.
I already delegate 200 SP to them, they do great work. I think you recommended I check them out in the first place! Any others?

Oh! My bad! LOL.
Hmm, how about @treeplanter? They plant trees, and raise funds to do so with a small power vote bot. They've been struggling to keep up with demand with prices what they are, even though the max you can send to be upvoted x2 is 0.2 Steem.
Hmm ok I'll check them out. You're so in-the-loop!
Ha! Can't say I've ever been thought of as in the know before! LOL
I'm usually in the "no"
LOL
I nominate @thewritersblock . This group is heading Steem House Publishing and this is an excerpt from their recent post on how it will help Steem:
By far, the biggest contribution our ecosystem can make to the success of the blockchain is our ability to bring money into the system. Steemhouse Publishing will sell products into the mainstream for FIAT, which will then be invested in Steem. We’ll transact with our authors and staff with Steem. Some of that will be cashed out, sure. But much of it will remain as investment capital. This will potentially contribute to the sustainability and long-term value of the platform overall.Here is a link to the original post with more information:
https://steemit.com/publishing/@thewritersblock/anewkindofpublishingecosystem-0rjyrw0vcs
I second this nomination. There was never a better time to support a great initiative!
Oh, ok, cool. I just looked into this, and wow. Ambitious project. I'm so glad you told me about it. Just learned about @gardengnomepubs, looks like the steem blockchain is starting to sprout some real businesses. This is exactly the kind of thing I love about cryptocurrency, the ability to create virtual economies and secondary markets without censorship or restraint. @blueeyes8960 @jayna @blockurator
I would suggest @blockurator's Garden Gnome Publishing project and/or the @crowdmind.
Ok, cool. Saw @blockurator's comment. @crowdmind looks interesting, too..I support the @bananafish group, they do great stuff.
You're basically a Bananafish knight in incognito 😉 Our common passion for spreading haiku poetry around steemit is so amazing.
A little 30 second peck of creativity to break up the day!
What's better than that? 😁
Ok, cool. Saw @blockurator's comment. @crowdmind looks interesting, too..I support the @bananafish group, they do great stuff.
Hi @vdux excellent initiative. Best regards
Muy bueno que compartas con tus amigos.
Dear @Vdux,
I belong to a group of artists and writers who live in Steemit under the name @EquipoCardumen (Presentation here), and we have a cultural project that is taking shape in the form of two magazines (La Lechuza de Minerva, Journal of Humanities, and Periplos, Magazine of Art and Literature); we also have two fixed publication spaces (Astrolabio and Citario) and we have developed workshops and podcasts in Discord (Invitation here)
We define ourselves as a cultural undertaking. We develop activities, and projects of an artistic, educational and cultural nature, with a view to being executed on the platform, in a non-exclusive way with other areas, seeking, at the same time, the generation of economic gains. We are not a healing project; however, we aspire to generate projects of formative and cultural participation in Steemit, quality based on creative talent, training and experience.
I leave the links to the latest issues of the magazines, so you can see them for yourself:
Periplos N° 6
La Lechuza de Minerva N° 5
Thank you for your attention and for your generous intentions!
NOTE: We are in recess until the 30th of this month, reorganizing the teams and trying to solve the problems we have with our internet connections.
Ok thank you, very interesting project. A magazine supported by reader engagement, not advertisers or subscription fees. "No se crece en solitario..."
