Quick, Mibba! Answer the questions! - Comments

1) How many active stories do you have?
One.

2) Do you have an updating order? If so, what is it?
...Whenever I feel the motivation to write, I do it.

3) How often do you update?
Once every few months, because I suck and I procrastinate a TON.

4) On average, without demanding comments, how many comments do you get per chapter?
I don't believe in demanding comments. And, usually between 5 and 10.

5) After posting ten chapters, on average, how many stars does your story have?
I've never posted ten chapters of a story on here.

6) What do you prefer reading? Fan-fiction or original fiction?
Original.

7) What do you prefer writing? Fan-fiction or original fiction?
I cannot write fanfiction. I cannot do it. That should answer your question.

8) Do your friends read your stories and have accounts? Do they write?
My personal friends do not, simply because I don't believe in asking people to read it. It's their choice, and I don't want to ask them and have them hate it. But yes, they write.

9) Do you prefer reading slash or hetero?
I cannot read slash. So, het.

10) What's your biggest petpeave in custom layouts?
They're unoriginal and don't tell me anything about the story. I like layouts that tell me about the story.

11) When searching for new stories, how do you find them? By stalking people profiles, going to the story section, how?
I go to the story section and search keywords.

12) How many grammar/spelling errors can a person have and you still be able to read to story?
Very little to none. I hate grammar errors. I'm a grammar freak. For example, I will not read a story if it has even a few (not a lot, just a few) homophone mistakes (there, their, and they're)

13) Do you participate in writing contests?
I have once. It was my very first contest ever and I won first place. :) Now I'm scared to ever do it again because I won't be able to beat that. XD

14) Do you visit the forums?
All the time.

15) Do read the news articles?
Not usually.

16) What makes you choose to subscribe to a story?
The quality of writing. The layout (if I can't read it, I'm not going to read it :P).

17) Why do you read stories on here instead of books?
I read both, actually. I have about 50 active subscriptions, and I usually have two books going as well.
However, I also feel like lots of people on here have the skill to be published authors, so sometimes I imagine them as books.

1) How many active stories do you have? One.

2) Do you have an updating order? If so, what is it? No, I just update whenever I can, which isn't too often. :L

3) How often do you update? It's very varied. Sometimes it can take months.

4) On average, without demanding comments, how many comments do you get per chapter? One or two. Or none.

5) After posting ten chapters, on average, how many stars does your story have? I've never posted more than ten chapters, ahaha.

6) What do you prefer reading? Fan-fiction or original fiction? Both, though I've been getting more into original fiction lately.

7) What do you prefer writing? Fan-fiction or original fiction? I only post fan-fiction at the moment. Writing original is more fun though, it gives you more freedom to write whatever you want.

8) Do your friends read your stories and have accounts? Do they write?
No, and no. :L

9) Do you prefer reading slash or hetero?
Eh, it depends on the pairing.

10) What's your biggest petpeave in custom layouts?
When the 'Fantasy' font is used. Completely unreadable.

11) When searching for new stories, how do you find them? By stalking people profiles, going to the story section, how? I browse the story section, search tags, check out the 'pimping and reccing' thread on the forums and see if any of my favourite authors have any new stories up.

12) How many grammar/spelling errors can a person have and you still be able to read to story? I'm fairly tolerable about certain grammar, as I'm not the best at it myself. But lots of spelling and simple grammar mistakes would be when I stop reading.

13) Do you participate in writing contests?
When I have the time. I entered two in the summer holidays.

14) Do you visit the forums?
Occasionally.

15) Do read the news articles?
Occasionally.

16) What makes you choose to subscribe to a story?
If it has an interesting summary/first chapter.

17) Why do you read stories on here instead of books?
I read both books and stories on here. But you can't get fan-ficion in published books, so yeah that's the main reason why I read stuff on here.

1. Two that I update often, three that are on hiatus.
2. No, I just update whatever one I feel like at any given time.
3. As often as I can.
4. Not many. With my most active story I get four or five though. That's pretty awesome for me.
5. Three? I don't really know to be honest.
6. Both
7. I go back and forth. But lately fan fiction.
8. I really only ever told one friend that I have an account. She reads my stories, but she doesn't really write much.
9. Hetero
10. When the color of the layout and the color of the type are too similar and you have to highlight the whole thing in order to read it.
11. Going to the story section and either searching for keywords or filtering by genre.
12. Depends on my mood. Most days I can make it through and appreciate whatever finer points are there, but some days I just can't take it.
13. Nope.
14. Rarely.
15. If the titles grab my interest, then yes.
16. The subject it deals with and the quality of the writing.
17. I read a lot of books, but sometimes I'm just looking for a good short story. Plus, stories on here last longer than reading a book because you've got to wait for the writer to update.

1) Zero right now.

2) Uh... nope.

3) Well, never at the moment. But when I do have a story I try and update at the very least once a week.

4) Depends on the story.

5) .

6) It really depends on my mood. But I find it's easier to find the sort of fanfics I want to read than the original fics I want to read.

7) Both.

8) Some of my friends write yes, but don't know about this site.

9) Het. There are two slash shippings that I occasionally read, but not on Mibba.

10) Clashing colours and really busy backgrounds.

11) Search function.

12) It's more so if there's an obvious difference between a few accidental mistakes vs. complete disregard for spelling etc. it's normally easy to tell apart.

13) No.

14) Rarely.

15) If they are an interesting topic (as in if I see one more article about abortion or religion I just might shoot something)

16) If I really really really want to know what's going to happen. Sometimes I get up to the last written chapter and realise I don't care either way what happens. I don't subscribe very often.

17) I read books as well. But as for why I read stories on here, some of them are interesting, some of them are a fun escape from reality... yeah, there are various reasons, but that's it sort of. Oh... and... they're sometimes shorter than books.

1) How many active stories do you have? 1, but updates are scarce.
:C

2) Do you have an updating order? If so, what is it? No.

3) How often do you update? Ah, it depends. Not very often, sadly.

4) On average, without demanding comments, how many comments do you get per chapter? 3-ish. More or less.

5) After posting ten chapters, on average, how many stars does your story have? I don't remember when it got 10 stars. I'll say it had about 8 or 9 around chapter 10.

6) What do you prefer reading? Fan-fiction or original fiction? Fanfiction. There have been a few original fictions I've liked as well.

7) What do you prefer writing? Fan-fiction or original fiction? Fanfiction.

8) Do your friends read your stories and have accounts? Do they write? My sister writes my story with me. She logs on here sometimes to check it out, but this is my account.

9) Do you prefer reading slash or hetero? Slash. I don't hate Hetero, I just can't stay interested when reading it though.

10) What's your biggest petpeave in custom layouts? Sucky layouts, when the words go off the story area and into the background, too big of a font.

11) When searching for new stories, how do you find them? By stalking people profiles, going to the story section, how? I got to the search button and choose the 'story tags' option and type in whatever I'm looking for.

12) How many grammar/spelling errors can a person have and you still be able to read to story? It's okay if a few words are misspelled and there are a few grammar mistakes per chapter. But if I'm actually having trouble understanding it, then that's pretty bad.

13) Do you participate in writing contests? I would like to. But I've held one before.

14) Do you visit the forums? Yep. Hardly ever post though, just lurk.
:3

15) Do read the news articles? If I'm interested in the title. But I don't ever directly go there. If I see something interesting when I go to Mibba, on the front page, I'll read it.

16) What makes you choose to subscribe to a story? If it's really good and I don't want to forget about it.

17) Why do you read stories on here instead of books? I read books too. But fanfiction is fun to read.
:)

1) How many active stories do you have?
-one at the moment.

2) Do you have an updating order? If so, what is it?
-Nope, it’s pretty much whatever story I have an update for at the time.

3) How often do you update?
-Not as often as I use to because I’m never home.

4) On average, without demanding comments, how many comments do you get per chapter?
-It really depends. I usually have about the same people commenting.....

6) What do you prefer reading? Fan-fiction or original fiction?
-Fan fiction.

7) What do you prefer writing? Fan-fiction or original fiction?
-fan fiction.

-Both.

10) What's your biggest pet peeve in custom layouts?

-Um, usually just by the story section.

12) How many grammar/spelling errors can a person have and you still be able to read to story?
-Well, as long as it isn’t too horrible, it’s fine. I mean, I’m not all that great at grammar either, but I’m pretty good at spelling. I think spelling errors jump out at me more than the grammar does.

13) Do you participate in writing contests?
-Nope.

14) Do you visit the forums?
-Yes, I do.

15) Do read the news articles?
Not Usually.

16) What makes you choose to subscribe to a story?
-It has to suck me into the story. I have to be like, “Oh my God, this story is amazing. Subscribes!”

17) Why do you read stories on here instead of books?
-I love reading fan fics, but I do read a lot of books too.

1) How many active stories do you have?
Two for sure, but I have two others that are very slowly active. So slow they could pretty much be considered put on pause.

2) Do you have an updating order? If so, what is it?
Not really. I mostly just post what ever updates I have for each story.

3) How often do you update?
Sometimes once every one or two weeks, sometimes only once a month. Depends on the story and how much inspiration I have for writing updates.

Original Fiction.

7) What do you prefer writing? Fan-fiction or original fiction?
Original Fiction.

Only three of my real life friends have accounts but they don't read my stories. Only one friend really writes on here.

9) Do you prefer reading slash or hetero?
Hetero. (:

10) What's your biggest petpeave in custom layouts?
Layouts with bright fonts that I can't read, and the fonts themselves. If they are large, bulky, and/or kind of hard to read, I don't like them.

11) When searching for new stories, how do you find them? By stalking people profiles, going to the story section, how?
Stalking people. (:

12) How many grammar/spelling errors can a person have and you still be able to read to story?
A lot, actually. As long as it isn't every second word than I can read it.

13) Do you participate in writing contests?
Sometimes. So far I've only entered two. I'm rather picky when it comes to contests because I want to know I'd be able to write something for it, and not just enter and never give them the entry.

14) Do you visit the forums?
Sometimes. Very rarely though.

15) Do read the news articles?
If the subject and title catches my eye, yes.

16) What makes you choose to subscribe to a story?
Good writing, interesting plots, unique ideas, pretty layouts and cliff hangers that are so intense it feels like I need to know what happens next.

17) Why do you read stories on here instead of books?
Normally the stories here are shorter, and it's easier and cheaper. Not to mention I can offer my views on writer's stories, and hopefully make their day.

1) 1 or 2. I mainly write oneshots.

2) No.

3) Whenever I get around to it.

4) 3-4.

5) N/A.

6) Fanfiction.

7) Fanfiction.

8) Almost all of my friends are through Mibba and several of them write.

9) Slash.

10) Words over people's faces. And when the background is a repeated celebrity picture.

11) I generally read the same authors or I'll read some of their friends.

12) If it's absolutely amazing, several. Otherwise, three or four.

13) No.

14) Yes.

15) Not often.

16) I subscribe to very few stories. It has to be absolutely amazing. I've subscribed to two stories in the past year, I believe.

17) Because I read fanfiction.

1) How many active stories do you have? Two.

2) Do you have an updating order? If so, what is it? No, no order. Whatever happens to get written first, gets updated. Or maybe I'll write a one-shot, if I'm experiencing writer's block for the other two.

3) How often do you update? No set schedule. Just whenever I get a chapter (or one-shot) done.

4) On average, without demanding comments, how many comments do you get per chapter? Depends on the story, but usually between 10 and 15.

7) What do you prefer writing? Fan-fiction or original fiction? Original fiction, lately.

8) Do your friends read your stories and have accounts? Do they write? No, and yes. setablazebylove, gilda8609, and tex1209 are real-life friends. (Sardonic Grin counts, too, because I have met her irl?) Matt has an account, too, but I don't know what his name is. And yes, they all write.

9) Do you prefer reading slash or hetero? Depends. If it's fanfic, and the characters (or real-life people) aren't actually gay in canon, I probably won't read them as gay. If they're gay in canon, if the story is good then maybe. Likewise, I'll read a het story if it's good, not just because it's het.

10) What's your biggest [pet peeve] in custom layouts? Neon colors.

11) When searching for new stories, how do you find them? By stalking people profiles, going to the story section, how? I usually find story via recommendation.

12) How many grammar/spelling errors can a person have and you still be able to read to story? Everyone makes typos now and then. (Even professional, published authors.) But if there are too many, like one per paragraph, maybe even less, I'll be too irritated to keep reading, usually.

13) Do you participate in writing contests? Every now and then, if one catches my interest.

14) Do you visit the forums? Frequently.

15) Do read the news articles? Yes. I post them, too.

16) What makes you choose to subscribe to a story? I never subscribe. I read so few stories on this site, I know where to find them.

17) Why do you read stories on here instead of books? I don't...? I love to read books. I read them far more than I do the stories I find online.

1) Seven

2) Nope

3) I try to do a story a day. I won't update more than one story a day though.

4) Depends on the story. Average for most is four to seven.

15) Sometimes.

16) I'll usually subscribe if it's Rydon/Ryden all the time, unless it's unbearably badly written. Slash can make me subcribe too. My favorite slash pairings are a good win at me subscribing.

17) I read both.

1. One
2. Nope.
3. Maybe twice a month.
4. Anywhere from four to eight.
5. It had ten.

14. Oh yeah dude.
15. Not very often.
