Way back in early July we put the call out for community support to get the Writer collection added to collect.social, a social platform that rewards collectors for attaining sets.
To win the nomination, a hard task was laid before us. We needed to acquire $RACOON coins, and then use them to vote for the Writer collection. With each $RACOON donated toward a project tallied on a leaderboard, Writer needed to hold out the #1 position against all donations made across the week ending Sunday 11 July, 2021.
To help bolster our chances, our generous founders put on some amazing prizes for the top supporters. Up for grabs was a limited edition 1 of 3 Caveman Finney, as well as seven Genesis Finney Coins which were subsequently delivered to the top three place-getters.Â
Here’s a quick recap on the winners, as they can never have too much recognition for their amazing contributions:
1st / Loslakers / 115,000 votes - Caveman Finney
2nd / Albeit_J / 105,000 votes - 5 Genesis Finney Coins
3rd / DoctorPoon / 84,000 votes - 2 Genesis Finney Coins
And then?
All of that feels like it happened a long time ago. So we won, now what?
Well, it’s time to get collecting, that’s what!
Published today, Writer collections are now available on collect.social. Here’s a breakdown of the collections we’ve loaded in:
Collections 1 to 5 - CryptoFinney
These five collections consist of two pieces each, and feature none other than perhaps the most iconic of all current Writer NFT’s, the 1.0 CryptoFinneys.
Collections 6 to 9 - BTCminer Airdrops
These four collections consist of each of the five character airdrops that were sent to members that were holding the relevant BTCminers at the scheduled times.
Rhodium was omitted from this series because there are literally zero Rhodium character cards on the WAX blockchain.
Platinum Floppy, Mr Shift, Snap, Rolo and Finney character cards
Iridium Floppy, Mr Shift, Snap, Rolo and Finney character cards
Gold Floppy, Mr Shift, Snap, Rolo and Finney character cards
Palladium Floppy, Mr Shift, Snap, Rolo and Finney character cards
Collection 10 - Chapter One Promo Cards
This is close to my favourite collection of all posted to collect.social, and features the three original promo cards that were issued in the early days. With only 100 Finney’s Arrival and Cryptowriter cards issued, and only 200 Shift Gold cards issued, this collection may be tougher to put together than you’d think.

Collection 11 - Behind The Pixel
Now before I even announce this set, let me just say that these sets are appearing in no particular order. If they were though, this one would be right up the top. The eleventh Writer collection to make it on to collect.social is the iconic Behind The Pixel series, curated by the one and only NFTJoe, and produced by our amazing Behind The Pixel artists.

Collection 12 - Publication NFTs
Some of the more coveted, and difficult to secure Writer NFTs are of course the Publication NFTs that are distributed for the comments of the week left on articles across our fleet of Writer publications. Not an easy set to put together, collectors must either win or otherwise secure one each of the Cryptowriter, NFTwriter, BTCwriter and ETHwriter NFTs to be eligible for this set's rewards.

Collection 13 - The Red Dragon
While we intentionally left out the airdropped full Red Dragon, collectors must hold all three dragon pieces in order to cross this collection of their list.
Dragon Pieces 1, 2 and 3 (the full dragon is not required)
Collection 14 - MemberDrop Characters
Perhaps the least cohesive of our sets, this is where the myriad of incidental and peripheral Writer NFTs will live. Currently consisting of OG Crackhead, WarFinney and Alvin Kelly, this final set is perhaps the crème of the crop in terms of Jon Trafford’s pixel art and should be very enjoyable for any collector to put together.
Time to get rewarded
With rewards of $RACOON distributed to collectors who collect sets, and Writer currently live on collect.social, it should be an easy task for all of our community members to log in and get rewarded.Â
With ~150 $RACOON currently buying one $WAX on the Alcor Exchange, the Writer community can now either top up their WAX balances just in time for the pack sale, or accumulate their $RACOONS and use them to vote their next favourite project onto the collect.social platform.

collect.social is a well-known project and it's nice that Writer is collaborating with them. Both sides have a lot to gain from the other. As such projects support each other, it is possible to reach more people, and this positively affects the success of the project.
This community is very special and deserves more. I'm sure everyone will try to collect!
Thanks for the article!
I logged into collect.social a few months ago. No sequel :D Good reason to log in again. Nice collab and competition. I'm glad the Publication NFTs are also included. Because I especially like collecting the NFTwriter Publication award. I won 3 in my 4th week and I want to continue this. Because I love design, art and NFTs. It will be difficult to collect the NFTs I missed, but... Nevermind! :P
