Twelve days ago, we put out a call for writers on Steemit to join us in crafting a story.

The winner of the first Steem Monsters fan fiction contest was @manoldonchev. He wrote this awesome piece around the Goblin Shaman. We’re giving away Steem Basic Income shares, which are, essentially, guaranteed upvotes on the Steem blockchain. This week, the contest is centered around the Pirate Captain. We’ll announce the winner next week.
