How it Works!
Account Settings - On your profile page (My Page)
- Change your email if needed
Your current one is already saved at registration.
- Your password anytime
Just follow the email link you’ll get after clicking reset.
- Add a Hive username (Optional)
If you’d like your post considered for purchase (we pay in HBD).
This will connect your Hive account to your Dreemport account.
Publish a Post
Before you can start curating, you must publish first.
- Agree to the Terms
Read and check the first two boxes to agree to the [Terms of Service] and [Content Disclaimer]. The third box is optional—check it only if you want your post considered for purchase.
- Set to Publish
To create, set to Create Draft, write, and click Save at the bottom of post. To publish, set it to Publish (not Draft!) and click Publish at the bottom of post. Be sure to publish before the weekly deadline! Give It a Title. Creative titles are important! 100-character limit.
- Add a Cover Image (optional, but highly recommended)
Use your own or one that’s clearly licensed for commercial use. Choose wisely!!
- Write a Quick Description
Tell us why this post matters to you, and make sure this impacts your reader!
- Write or Paste Your Post
Use the editor—or copy and paste from elsewhere. If you’re pasting from a Markdown editor, paste as plain text so it formats correctly.
- Double Check You Published!
If your post is still in Draft, it won’t be seen or scored. Make sure you’ve hit “Save” with visibility set to Publish before the weekly deadline.
- Steps after your published post is accepted.
Your post will be held until the new DreemPort week begins (Wednesday 12:00 AM UTC) to ensure it has a FULL week to be appreciated, but once you've been notified that your post is screened into the system, you can immediately start reading and voting on the submissions of that current week!
Curate & Critique
After you submit your post, you can immediately start curating! Your post will be held until the new DreemPort week begins (Wednesday 12:00 AM UTC), but you don't have to wait to start reading and voting.
Here's how it works:
- Click "Read and Vote" from the top menu.
- Choose one, two, or three sets. Each set gives you two posts to review in a head-to-head comparison.
- Read both posts and select your favorite.
- Leave a constructive critique for the writer.
About critiques: This is what makes DreemPort different. Thoughtful feedback is how we all grow as writers. If you're enjoying the critiques on your post, pay it forward and help your fellow writers improve too!
How the Pairing system works:You'll see new posts paired together until you've read everything submitted that week.
Once you've read all the posts, you'll start seeing new pairings of posts you've already read—Post 1 might face Post 3 this time instead of Post 2.
Why? Traditional tournament brackets can eliminate the best posts early if they face each other in round one. We compare each post against multiple opponents to get the fairest ranking. The more pairings you vote on, the more accurate the results.
You'll get new pairings each day - so keep curating!
