Fellow Scholars and Scribes! I bid you welcome to the first annual SCRIBE SPOTLIGHT! 🙌 crowd goes wild 🙌

At the end of each year, we will take a couple of weeks to highlight our most diligent and talented authors. 😮

Of course, there are other factors at play: your activity in the community, the number of writings you have posted, as well as your overall conduct with other members.

All quotes in this showcase are from the spotlighted creator's works.

Let's begin with our D&D superfan. Immensely talented and hard-working with an approachable personality. 🥁🥁🥁

Our very own Hive account@mellindor has brought her D&D world to life with staggering dedication. We have followed her character, Mary Freaking Windfiddle, through thick and thin. Watching her grow alongside her creator.

“I don’t blame you,” he said. “After all, nobody’s been able to track her for all these years. I just wish… ” His voice trembled. He paused to collect himself and then spoke again. “When she disappeared, we were heartbroken. But, we thought, at least she had done good in her last mission. She had stopped a bad person from doing more harm to the innocent. But…” he paused again. His eyes were filled with sadness. “It seems that her efforts were in vain. She didn’t catch the right person and the evil we thought she’d stopped has returned.”

She has kindly provided a chapter guide for those interested in following Mary's adventure❕😱

Hive account@mellindor has shown her talents exceed the written word. Her skill with a stylist pen is as deft as her quill. This makes her content wholly unique in our community. 😌

Speaking of her quill, she has only gotten better with her commendable output. If there's one thing each of us has to struggle with, it's our dedication to our craft. Hive account@mellindor has that in spades, and we can all stand to learn from her bottomless pit of creative energy. 💪

She turned to the assassins. One of them, still under the effect of her charm spell, was watching her with a trusting smile but the other was still trembling in fear. She looked at him and suddenly a few memories popped into her mind.

She has also produced many world-building and character spotlight ❗ posts ❗ (the world-building itself was developed by Hive account@marydm). Further showcasing her talent as a character designer and world descriptor.

Her craft has also seen a noticeable jump from earlier in the year. She has become more concise, requiring fewer words to achieve her tone and setting. Har characters have become more expressive and distinguishable. And her overall pacing is just top-notch. 👌

Mary’s eyes widened in excitement. She’d been dying to know more about Aurum’s family! He never talked about them and that mystery had been eating at her curiosity for ages. They were probably just a few feet away now. Mary scanned the faces of the people around the wagons for anyone who looked like her friend.

Lastly, but certainly not least, her engagement and treatment of fellow Scholars and Scribes has always been something to admire. Her responses are always kind and measured. And her passion for her works and the works of others is palpable. 🙏

My personal favorite piece of hers is To Myth Adofhaer - a relaxing chapter that sees our heroes in-between events. Showcasing us their characters in a wonderful way.

The thought of the woman she couldn’t save wouldn’t leave her thoughts. She knew that the sum she was sending her mourning family couldn’t bring her back, but it would at least be… something.

Let's congratulate Hive account@mellindor on a successful year! And here's to many more to come! 🍻
