Hunting Midnight Review & Readlist Challenge #1 👻

👻

Episode 1 of the serial paranormal story Hunting Midnight has been published in the Scholar and Scribe community! To celebrate and promote this milestone, this “contest” will be different than what you may be used to.

The WINNERS from Giveaway #6 are listed at the end of this post.

 

🎁 Over 150 Hive to earn!🎁

As we take a little break in between episodes, I’m looking for the community’s help and support in two initiatives:

  • Up to five honest reviews of Hunting Midnight Episode 1
  • New readlist members (people that actually want to read the story)

📅 The review drive will be open until Episode 2 is finished.
📅 The readlist drive will last until the next giveaway (~10 days)
 

📚 Readlist Drive #1

😀 Let’s start with the simple one!

I challenge everyone who is a fan of the story to try and think of one other person who might also like to read Hunting Midnight. This is not a “tag 3 friends” thing. Just one person.

Leave a comment here (or anywhere on Hive that makes sense) tagging them and inviting them to join the readlist. Or, you can talk to them privately, but one of you will need to tell me who referred who because if someone joins on your referral:

  • You will get 1 HSBI 🎉
  • They will get 1 HSBI 🎉🎉
  • And I’ll raffle off 1 HSBI to the entire readlist! 🎉🎉🎉

 
Yup, that's 3 HSBI for legitimate new referrals to the readlist.
 

🤖 No alts, bots, or gimmicks please

I’ll be screening anyone who gets referred for sus stats or behaviour.
 

🙋‍♀️ What about non-Hive friends?

If you can get a new person to sign up to Hive to join the readlist, then that would be fantastic. In fact, that’s a general long term goal of posting serial fiction here—attracting new users! If this is the case please get in touch with me so I can help in any way with their onboarding (and screen to ensure that “your friend” is not just you being a cheat 😛).

If we get new Hive users to sign up, I’ll make sure that you both get a little extra support for the effort!
 

👪 But I can refer like 15 people!

I'll consider up to three referrals per person max, depending on the circumstances. If you have a whole crowd of people you want to refer, just know that the more people who read and engage will—in the long term—lead to my ability to increase prizes and reader rewards :)

📅 The readlist drive will last until the next giveaway (~10 days)

❓ If you have any questions, let me know in the comments!

 

📑 Review Drive #1

🏁 GOAL: Five honest reviews, of at least 500 words, posted in five different Hive communities

💰 Compensation: 15 HIVE, 15 HSBI + whatever the post earns

✅ Requirements:

  • You must reach out to me in order to become an approved reviewer. Preference will be given to those who have been engaging with the story or who have a good posting track record on Hive. Apply in the comments or find me on Discord: jfuji#0169.
  • I will only approve your intention to review, not the content of the review. ⚠️ It is important to me that the review is honest. Please feel free to include any criticisms or notes for improvement!
  • The review can be in any language, but needs to include an English translation if not in English.
  • We will figure out together which community the review should be posted in. Ideally it is a large, general, and active community. I for sure would like to see one in Hive Book Club. Thoughtful Daily Post is another strong contender. The idea is to expose Hunting Midnight to new audiences here on Hive!
  • Once approved, I will add your name to the table below
  • There is no hard deadline to complete the review, but ideally it doesn’t take more than 1–2 weeks once you are assigned
  • the 15 Hive and 15 HSBI will be sent once the review is posted
  • Openings will be first come first serve. If someone has to drop out, I’ll keep folks informed over the course of the regular giveaways
