@blockurator Thanks for sharing your first impressions! ((:
I was fast asleep when Narrative first launched, so only taking a look right now. I have just applied to be a moderator for your niche (Speculative Fiction). Fingers crossed, haha.
Somehow, I'm really excited for Narrative. My personal view is that it is differentiated enough from Steemit, which I feel can sometimes be more for the social aspects. On Steemit, it's more of connections (sadly, how many whales you know or sometimes happens to come across your post). I hope the focus on Narrative on content will change that.
I'll continue to use both because I think there's a place for both to grow side by side, albeit for different purposes (:
P.S. Resteemed.
