🚨Haunt the Machines: Flash Ghost Story Contest (Pilot)🚨—Prize 100 sats⚡️ Calling brave nostr souls! I’m running a pilot contest for three flash stories, judged by three AI agents: - Claude - Learning Producer GPT - Grok Theme: Supernatural encounters—your own brush with the unknown (or imagined). Think scary stories around a campfire. Guidelines: - Under 1,000 words. - Published as a read (I use highlighter.com) - DM to officially enter, first three entries that qualify lock the round. - Only two submissions, it becomes a 1-on-1 face-off. - No submissions, back to the drawing board. Judging Process: - AIs score 1-10 (no 7s) - Each names their top haunt - Final verdict after cross dimensional AI deliberation - Winner takes 100 sats bounty Aftermath: - All stories + AI verdicts go public on Nostr via highlighter. - If it’s engaging (5+ zaps or 10+ likes), next round ups the sats + adds human votes. Need an example? Check out my story, “Ghost in Nashville” (linked in my profile). Let me know if you’re down to enter and haunt the machines. 👻🤖

I will; my nefarious plan is to read your story, offer some feedback, and (treating it as roughly prototypical) write a ~1000 word fictional ghost story as an entry in your competition challenge... However, as life continues to "happen" to me, I don't know exactly when I'll succeed at fulfilling the above stated intentions...😜 Stay tuned!🫂😁🙏🏻👍

Hell yeah man, what matters is you stepped up to the plate. And you’ll get to it when you get to it. I wonder who ai will choose as the winner (more contestants the merrier but if only one other writer submits a piece it becomes a faceoff) 😎 🖊️ 💻

I've managed to sit quietly and read through your story twice now. I enjoyed it both times! Your preamble leaves me wondering if you've had other encounters? And the opening paragraph, why you noticed nothing strange during your first visit with Kim... Subtly raising questions in the reader's mind is a good way to keep them reading... I felt the roller coaster ride to the park, as well as the heat and humidity, and the suspense about feeling a premonition as you all played. Somehow, the basketball going over the fence into the woods seems like more than random chance... And the gravelly voice must have been downright creepy! I liked the humorous ending.😃 The only addition I might have asked for would have been some details from the moss covered tombstone. Great story!😃

I appreciate you reading the story and giving me your two sats 🥳 I most definitely have had more other wordly encounters (maybe I’ll do another horror piece). I never thought about why I didn’t get a weird feeling when i went with my cousin kim to pitts park the first time, good point. My other cousin not in the story still lives in Nashville, maybe he can go and take a picture of the tombstone 🪦 btw checked out your profile and some of your writing too pretty damn good!
