Curated Collection — Nostalgia Series

Mike’s Favorite Stories on ILLUMINATION Publications — #80

Featuring engaging stories that you may enjoy as well

Image by the author

Dear avid readers and fellow Friends of Medium! I compiled 80 collections, giving you reading options from different topics. Now the number of my collections surpassed my age. It is short but I believe there is something for everyone. I aim to find valuable stories buried under the dust for your enjoyment. Please consider engaging and sharing the stories you read. My goal in creating these collections is to increase views and the engagement rate among avid readers as much as possible.

Yesterday, we posted our new newsletter. It will be great for the new writers. We added some more new writers so you may find their profile at the end of this post and consider exploring their stories.

Now, our dear ILLUMINATION is four years old. It is still a baby. I wonder how it will be when it comes to my age! Of course, I won’t see those days, but some of you might.

By leveraging Aiden’s older video I penned a short story in my funny Aussie accent. I usually don’t speak or write like that. I hope you will enjoy it.

We added 200+ new writers. ILLUMINATION editors welcomed them in an onboarding pack. I introduced them in my birthday celebration story so you may start following those who resonate with your reading taste. We give an opportunity to new writers to mingle easily with older ones. It is the beauty of ILLUMINATION publications. Being a new writer on this platform is not easy.

Our editor 🥰Lanu Pitan🥰 is back. We are very happy that Medium restored her account. Dr Mehmet Yildiz beautifully articulated Lanu’s golden heart in a special testimonial for her. You can learn more about Lanu’s background from this story.

He also shared his perspectives by looking at the issue from both sides. His story made me more compassionate about both victims and Medium. As my account was suspended a few weeks ago, I know how painful it can feel. But the platform needs to remove useless leeches.

Recently, I wrote a story about my thoughts on bulk suspensions. You might have heard that Medium suspended many accounts. We wrote a short piece about it if you want to learn about the details.

Aiden created a cool YouTube video for ILLUMINATION-Gaming readers and writers to delight them with some boost guidelines.

He also featured our new boosted stories, which I finished reading all of.

In a special episode, I shared some boosted stories I read. Some readers enjoy exceptional pieces so I add it here.

Aiden covers the new ones, and I focus on older stories to give readers a nostalgic experience. I add a few news ones, too, from my daily reading, or sometimes editors ping me to add exceptional stories. Each story is a gem worth your time. You may dive in, engage, and spread the word on social media so these stories can reach more readers. I tried to follow most writers I hadn’t met before, but the system stopped me after a while. I learned that I could follow only 150 writers a day, so I will try another day.

Aiden’s Collections

Here is his latest one with my friend’s link for anyone to read it. He has already created 100 collections, always finding gems from hidden corners.

We added new writers today. I will add them to the end of this so you can easily follow them if you wish. You may start exploring their profiles and connect with them if they resonate with you. Collaboration is a great thing here.

Now another great editor, The Sturg joined the curation team and he posted his first and second well-designed collections. He put lots of effort into creating this. I know how challenging and time-consuming it is to create these collections. So please engage in his collections and share them on your socials.

Update on Boosting

If you are into boosting things, recently, Dr Yildiz answered frequently asked questions from writers and readers about the boost program on Medium, which gave me a few surprises as a writer and editor. I wish I had read something like this a year ago. No wonder none of my stories got boosted, causing me to pause writing, but he shows us hope.

ILLUMINATION-Curators compiled our boosted stories in February, 2024. You may find exceptional stories from this.

They also created a new Reader’s Club post with many great stories.

New Interviews

Recently Dr Mehmet Yildiz interviewed another famous writer Genius Turner. He is a gem, and you might enjoy this story as much as I did. I am now following Genius to learn from his insights.

Here’s an interview with Shirley Willett. She is my senior so I send her my respect. I also featured one of Shirley’s story today about 6th dimension.

Meet another experienced writer David Mokotoff, MD. You can learn about his interesting background. I love David’s informative and humorous stories.

I found interesting interviews with writers and added them to a post so that you may find them easily. They are captivating and full of life lessons.

Aiden’s Boost Education

Aiden compiled our boosted stories. It is full of gems.

He introduced the boosted stories of Jozsef Kovacs and Joan Naidorf as part of his boost education. I remember he did a few more before, possibly at the end of his last one.

Newsletter

One quick highlight is that our new newsletter is now ready on Medium. It was also posted on Substack for our subscribers. Monthly Updates from ILLUMINATION Editorial Team: February 2024

Influencing Non-Members

You may check this open letter from Dr Mehmet Yildiz to non-members. He observed that a large number of readers and writers are non-members who do not contribute to the platform’s growth. I believe you will find his points valuable and relatable.

To influence non-members, I listed all the boosted stories I read last month and provided my thoughts, including some common patterns in these exceptional stories. You will love them. There is something for everyone, as these exceptionally well-written stories cover many topics and different writing styles.

Enjoy My favorite stories and Some Nominated Ones from ILLUMINATION publications today.

I want to start with my favourite and exceptional new pieces from Dr Mehmet Yildiz, Lorwen Harris Nagle, PhD, Matthew Bamberg, and Lisa Bage in four different and important topics as the rest of my collection are older.

You will find enjoyable pieces from this collection. I chose something for everyone.
