Hey there,

In case you missed Vol. 1 last week, we’re trying out something new — a weekly roundup of hand-picked posts to help you discover great writing on Paragraph.

We have a special edition this week, spotlighting some of the great posts that emerged from a recent Writing Hackathon, hosted by @adrienne and @YB. Here are some slides covering the details of the event and many of the submissions.

The hackathon was an amazing event. It was inspiring to see recognition flowing to talented writers and highlighting the importance of writing. If you missed this one, don’t worry — we hope to do more Writing Hackathons in the future!

029 - Farcaster Fiction Lore - Writing Hackathon

@kbc and @MkkStacks collaborate on a work of lore. Moloch is an old god, in the Bible demanding child sacrifice in return for help. Following Moloch is getting what you want, but being stuck in a negative-sum-game. Of course this means you are not really getting what you want, because you didn't specify every little thing.

Let us know what you think!

See you next week,
