The Eight

How I Attempt To Support Other Creators

The Eight Stories In My Feed This Morning

Introduction

When my subscribed stories replaced top stories on the home page, I was annoyed because my subscription feed is better, although some creators expressed that it was too difficult to press that button, and I was a troublemaker for daring to suggest it, and Vocal agreed. But this is where we are, but my subscription feed gives me fifty per cent more stories:

The Eight On The Home Page

Usually, I go into each of the stories on there and leave a comment to let the people know that I have been. Sometimes the eight are flooded by a single creator, and that results in me removing my subscription. So that is up to 5c I make for my subscribed creators.

Usually, that is not the end of it, although some days I don't have time to read more.

I know I have shared this before, but in the Vocal Social Society on Facebook, we have a number of ways that we support creators:

The Community Adventure selects four Vocal communities, and I share and read two from each community, so that is another 5c from me, and I hope to have more from other readers.

The Dynamic Duo selects two Creators based on their supportive activity in the group (comments and hearts on other creators' posts).

We have many more threads to help people get themselves known and share their work in the group.

Each week Bill O'Neil gives us an image to write a dozen words about.

These are just a few ways in which we are always trying to support Creators.

Conclusion

Thank you for reading, and if you are not a VSS member, please join the fifteen hundred members we have and share your stories.

    Good job on this one, and I really like micro fiction Wednesdays for a fun writing.

    Love it - thanks for giving more info on the FB group. I try to support the other writers depending on time and mood - if in an annoyed state, I stay away. It is so nice to have the VSS site to alert people to our writings; and to see others and support them.
