True Colours 2 | Team #5: Curation Report for Week 3

Week 3 Official Report of team True Colours 2

1. Preface – The Plan, The Reality, The Joy

What is the plan if there's one?

The plan is to show creativity, that comments are worth writing and reading, that Europe does exist and next to that, we like to show all the faces of Steemit. This means that a daily check is needed and even in between voting. Can we make everyone happy? No. Most countries have their curators rewarding posts so all we can do is look further and search in communities most SCs neglect.

If it comes to commenting: What we feared turns out to be true and at times it is frustrating that many communities we visit are not good for one single comment! How sad is that? The reason is not because another SC team upvoted but because the members post and leave. We keep searching but to be honest, if we notice what is rewarded generously the question arises if we should not reward those who deserve it for a second, third, fourth or fifth time, those Steemians who keep writing, and commenting no matter if they are rewarded just because they like to be on this platform. Is it fair to be rewarded for investing in Steemit?

This is the report on the implementation of curation activities by team 5 in statistical form.

Nominee	1
Author	@henryclive
Type	Post
Link	The night before Christmas at the Platform Nine and Three-Quarters
Date	20th
Review	henryclive submitted this piece as an entry for a writing contest held by freewritehouse. Through his writing, henryclive transforms the classic premise of “Polar Express” into a satirical story full of dark humor and unexpected twists. The author tries - and succeeds - in creating a contrasting atmosphere between the expectation of Christmas magic and the absurd and chaotic reality. The humor is sharp and crude, poking fun at the traditional norms of children's stories by putting in rude characters, snide dialogue, and a plot that veers away from the magic of Christmas. It's a pretty “rough” satire but that's why it's so interesting.

Date	17th
Review	It's a simple story, but it's a colorful and fun story about a foreign tourist's experience at a cafe in Madrid, Spain. It's not very long but the author, fajrularifst, has meticulously managed to mix and portray quirky and memorable characters, an interesting atmosphere, a hint of culture and a philosophical message in a light-hearted narrative.

Nominee	3

Review	A slightly poetic style of language combines with poetic prose and crime narrative in this short piece by almaguer. The main point of the story is the narrator's professional duties as a crime investigator and his obsession with a woman who keeps haunting his mind. So, there, the author combines elements of poetry, romance, crime, and the narrator's inner struggle between them. The story is so concise that some things don't find their end or climax, but as a concept, readers can find an interesting foundation for a crime romance in this short piece. Perhaps we will see a fuller version of this story in the future.

Link	The Count of Monte Cristo (series): This has a chance to be something great
Date	19th
Review	The personal approach taken by the writer, netflixr, makes the reader of this movie review get closer to the writer as well as the movie he is reviewing, especially from his perspective as a movie enthusiast. The content is quite detailed with a deep focus on the core story of the series adapted from Alexandre Dumas' famous classic novel. And at the end of the story, the author comes out with a firm recommendation, of course with a warning to potential viewers about what to expect.
