What you can accomplish by following fiction-trail on Streemian

I believe that we can create a nurturing atmosphere
for the creation of the very best content on Steemit.

Streemian is a voter trail, which means that if you follow a curator (or "Operator") , when they vote on a post, your vote follows them. This can be scary, since they might attach your vote to things you would not have voted for. There are some operators who vote in ways that make a lot of curation rewards, regardless of content, and you could get that same value for your vote.

The Fiction-Trail
Discussion Group

But Fiction-trail (and by extension, SteemTrail), is much different.

We try to pick, from the many fiction stories posted each day, the very few of the very best. Regardless of Steempower, Reputation, or legendary status on Steemit, we try to just pick out the best stories, which are written the best, and which might increase the reputation of Steemit as a whole. This is working out to be three or four votes a day.

Presently we have four followers on Steemian, and that brings a barely noticeable increase to most posts. But at this point they are four people who have almost certainly read the post and discussed it, perhaps even offering assistance to edit it into an even better representation of the quality Steemit should have.

With you following us, that impact becomes much greater. This is what you gain. You earn the power to change the face of Steemit by offering your vote towards the best of the best, even if you didn't manage to read it yourself. Yet. Your combined vote, beyond just helping that one author, also increases the desirability of earning our vote, by writing the best fiction post of the day. That means improving their craft, adding formatting and images, assuring better citations of included work, generally improving the whole content of Steemit, post by post, day by day.

Those few proxy votes, pointed by a curation team that shares your values, can make a difference in the heart of Steemit content creation. I hope you want to be a part of that. I can see it already starting.
