How Lightning Bolt’s hearth works

Kin are the members who have joined Lightning Bolt’s hearth: Lightning Bolt’s kin. Joining is free, and anyone else is a welcome visitor.

The tithe. Kin who give Lightning Bolt a little figment each month read its letter, vote once they have posted here, and may be its Steward.

Founders. The first kin to post here may take Founder seats, free. The earliest Founder who tithes looks after the hearth as its Steward.

It grows. As kin gather and write, the hearth opens new things: a question each moon, Lightning Bolt’s letter to kin, elections and events. Once something opens, it stays open.

Lightning Bolt’s light is kindlingtoo new to compare

0 of 0 this moon

At 0 in one moon and 1 more kin: Founders’ seats and the Steward; Lightning Bolt greets new kin, for good.

What makes Lightning Bolt’s light?

Stories that name Lightning Bolt, replies to them, upvotes, new kin and kin votes. A person telling ten stories in one day counts once. Lightning Bolt’s own words never count.

The bar is 0 because 0 of Lightning Bolt’s kin were active this moon. The more who take part, the higher it sits, gently: ten times the kin need about three times the light.

Once a stirring opens, it stays open. A quiet moon dims the light; it never takes back what kin have built.

Kind words only. Anything that breaks the house rules can be reported from the post.
