What is #zapfic? Well I was the first to use the hashtag, so I guess I invented it, and I get to decide what it means.

#  #zapfic is a **very** short story written in less than 240 characters*.

# #zapfic Writing Contest Week 85:

Write a story - inspired by the prompt - in 240 characters. 
#

# Deadline: has passed! You are too late to enter this zapfic, check my blog for the latest contest

No restrictions on how you post it to the steem blockchain. You can post it to steemit using steempeak, palnet.io, steemit.com, busy, partiko or anything else you want to use (you can even just post a story in the comments - but if you create STEEM post for your ZAPFIC using the hashtags #palnet, #creativecoin, #neoxian or #marlians)  you’ll get a 50% upvote in STEEM plus upvotes from each my Tribe accounts too)!

Try to ensure you tell as complete a story as you can.

# This weeks prompt is : *retire*

You can interpret the prompt as you wish (the story does NOT have to contain the word “retire” in it)

…
…
<center><sub>As well as Steem upvotes I upvote posts in the following Tribes: **#leo, #palnet, #sports, #weed, #marlians and #creativecoin #neoxian #sonicgroove**</sub></center>
<center>![https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/felt.buzz/qsInmdiY-ezgif.com-video-to-gif4.gif)</center>
<center><sub><sub>@felt.buzz curation accounts: @felt.buzz.pal @felt.buzz.leo @felt.buzz.sports @felt.buzz.weed @felt.buzz.marl @felt.buzz.ccc @felt.buzz.neox @felt.buzz.sonicgroove</sub></sub>

For #zapfic posts I advise using the tags #creativecoin, #neoxian, #palnet, #marlians (if you post using steempeak you can use up to 10 tags)

… 

Rules

- Post the 240 character (or less) story to steemit (use whatever you want - steempeak, steemit.com, busy, partiko, or even as a comment! etc - the choice is yours!

-  Use the following hashtags (so you can benefit from my upvotes from the tribe accounts): #palnet, #creativecoin, #marlians. I can upvote you with four different accounts - so if you use those three hashtags you'll earn the tokens pal, marlians and ccc as well as Steem)

- The story must be no more than 240 characters in length - use a character counter to check (here is one: https://wordcounter.net/)

- The story must be your own work, and previously unpublished

- If you post a photo (you don't have to, there are no "points" for photos, it is all about the story) **please make sure you quote the source**. If it is yours, say so!

- Resteem and upvote welcome  but it is not essential 

- The steemit (or busy, or whatever) link to your post must be left in the comment section of this post 

- The deadline for submissions is 
# Passed! You are too late to enter!

- The judge’s decision is final (including what constitutes a valid entry)

# Prizes

**The price pool 6 SBI** (#steembasicincome share), 100 Marlians, 100 CCC (creativecoincrypto), 15% of author rewards of this post will be distributed as follows

# 2 @steembasicincome shares, 10 Marlians and 10 CCC will be given to writers of the top three stories (as judged by me) **PLUS** each of the 3 winners will be added as a 5% beneficiary of THIS post (5% of the author rewards each)

# The rest of the prize pool (70 marlians, 70 CCC) will be divided amongst all the valid entries

**All valid** entries will receive a **50% upvote** from my felt.buzz account **plus** if you use the tags #palnet, #marlians, #ccc and #neoxian you will receive an upvote from my tribe curation accounts (@felt.buzz.pal, @felt.buzz.marl, @felt.buzz.ccc and @felt.buzz.neox), and a resteem from @felt.buzz) to over 1450 followers.


Note: this contest was invented by and is hosted, judged and run by @Felt.Buzz


Thank you! and good luck!

# Use the PALnet, Marlians, Neoxian or Creativecoins hashtags (#palnet, #marlians, #neoxian, #creativecoin) when you post your ZAPFIC stories and you’ll find that as well as getting a STEEM upvote you’ll get an upvote in one or all of the other tribes (currently my tribe upvotes are worth a lot more than my 100% STEEM upvote). Using the hashtags means you get BOTH steem and tribe tokens too!
