Questions about Stories [ANSWER THESE PLEASE] - Comments

1. Sorry but no. I only write stories that are in Canada. It's just easier that way. :)

2. No I have never. It would be cool to though :)

3. I have never done it before, but it's super cool when I read about it! As long as the characters stay in character, it would be super interesting to read about.

4. I've found almost all the stories I wanted to read on Mibba. Although I would like to see a few more kidnapping stories.

5. I like reading/writing from 1st person POV. It makes the story feel more personal and easier to conect with the characters.

6. Medium sized. Since Mibba stories are online and not actaul books, I like reading meduim story chapters because they are easier to read.

7. I don't really read anthologies, sorry.

1. I love reading abut stories set in other countries but i just stick to the U.S. when I'm writing because it all I know. I recently read a book called On the Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta and it was set in Australia. It's about a girl named Taylor who finally confronts her past after being abandoned by her mom when she was eleven. That's literally just the gist but it's sch a good story and I'd rec it to anyone really.

2. Oh God just thinking about writing a psychology piece is giving me headache. i could never pull off something so cool but I do love reading them.

3.Very interesting. My stories don't go together well enough to do that and I don't have a fan base so I doubt any of my readers would even understand the reference.

4.I always feel like I've seen it all on Mibba until I actually haven't.

5. I love first person because it's easier to understand my character I think. I always mess up in anything other because I'm just so use to writing in first person. I have a problem with past and present tense words often as well. someone wrote on this site once that writing in first person is childish but I disagree because some of my favorite novels are in first person.

6. Any length of chapter is good for me as long as the author makes me feel like I wasn't cheated. If a story has like 100 chapters then I would much rather prefer short chapters. But long chapter keep me busy for a while so if the story if interesting enough, I'll read them.

7. Not really a big fan of anthologies but then again I don't put to much thought into them.

1. Sometimes I set my stories in towns in the US but since I'm from Australia lately I've been basing my stories in Australia because I know the place (obviously) and it's just easier that way.

2. I've never written a psychological piece before but as I study it in uni I am very intrigued by it and I do have a story idea in mind that explores a killer and their past / ways / intentions / life, etc. But I'd totally read it if you wrote one.

3. I've never interwined other characters from stories in my stories as I've never even thought about doing it I suppose if they were set in similar locations then I'd probably try it out, for sure! I actually just got an idea of mixing characters in story and ahhh it's working out fabulously in my head

4. Everything I like is on Mibba, so I don't have that issue there.

5. I love first person and will always write in that, but I am experimenting with second person at the moment and I use third person for group stories. I think the story is more personal and easier to relate to when written in first person.

6. It depends on how much I love the story. For stories I have infinite amounts of love for, give me a 10k chapter and I'll be over the moon. If I like the story, then 2k-4k is fine for any type of story, I think. I don't really have a word minimum - whatever suits the story, I think.

7. I don't really care much for anthologies, to be honest People can do what they like, I just roll with it

@ Doe.
I know what you mean. I'm totally the same.

That's the reason I don't like reading unfinished stories. x'D Also, if I wait too long I normally lose interest and stop checking back altogether.

@ Doe.
Yup, we have to wait.

I don't like it when authors take months to update (even though I'm guilty of doing it myself and I understand the reason why the are doing it - but I have the mind of a fish and forget easily) so it's better for me to read the whole thing.

Oh, I'm the same. I'm waiting until she has it finished to go back and re-read it. I was really excited because the guy was a monster and just... ugh loved it.

@ Doe.
I have bookmarked that one. I read a bit and I liked it, but I like reading complete/finished stories more so that's why I haven't read everything yet.

She does have really good stories. Another of my favorites is ColdBlooded. I read it before she started re-writing and it was one of my absolute favorite stories.

@ Doe.
I have to agree with you on that. Plus, I enjoy the rest of her writings as well.

Woo, I haven't talked to many people who has read that story. x) One of the most amazing series I've read on Mibba.

@ Doe.
Yup, I know the series. I've interviewed that mibbian.

Yes, that's the only way to not get reported.

Yay, I'm not along in the serial killer/romances! There's one really good one on here, idk if you've read it The Passion Paradox. It's pretty psychological too, which is why I loved it so much.

Yeah, that's one thing that Mibbians need to be mindful, is that there is one continuous flow in the anthologies.

@ Doe.
Thank you very much for your time sweets.

I also like serial killer/romance type stories.

I think I'm the only one who has started anthologies too. At least I made sure I can't get reported for different stories under the same title because the summary is written for all the rest and the chapters take place in the same place.

1. I can't really think of any right now. Though I have actually been thinking of a story set in Moscow, just haven't got to it, yet, lol.

2. I LOVE reading psychological pieces. I've always wanted to, but since that is just such a touchy field I don't want to accidentally mess something up.
3. I have when I was writing when I was about 14-16. I love doing things like that. It makes stories seem a bit more real. They aren't posted.

4. Hmm... mainly just certain kind of fanfictions that I can't find. It's also really hard to find serial killer/romance type stories. I'm weird, don't judge me.

5. Depends on the story, to be honest. When I first started first point of view was easiest, as I've matured I've noticed I really like third. However some stories need first.

6. In real books I like long chapters, online I prefer short chapters. 1.5k and less is good for me.

7. I think they can be pretty good. I think you're the only one I've ever read an anthology from though here on Mibba.

@ childishinsanity
No worries. There was a time when my mobile phone was posting everything twice, if not more.

You know I'm already reading The Old World series. Plus, the way you have intertwined the whole of your Old World series is amazing.

Haha, I apologise for the mass posting! Laptop was not acknowledging the submit button and did nothing so I pressed it several times ;-; I now know how those accidental spammers feel....

Sorry ;__;

Yooo! I answer! :3

1: I do have a couple. The Old World has been set in Romania and Italy, although mostly by name. The places I set them are often secluded or made up entirely so technically it doesn't exist. All my other story settings are often created entirely.

2: Psychological would be uber tough to write and need a lot of research. For me, no I wouldn't try, mostly because I wouldn't know where to start or how to make it engaging. That and I need something weird and wacky going on to be able to even create a plot ;-;

3: As you are aware of, I intertwine the whole of my Old World series. I do enjoy it. I like returning to old characters from a different point of view, especially if a new character sees them completely differently to how I originally portrayed them.

4: I could never find a solid fantasy story with strong romance and sexual influences. So I wrote one :3 But I've read only one published book based on the last Tsar of Russia and it was more a diary written by Anastasia. Very interesting it was.

5: For me it is third. I can hop from different characters comfortably and not make the story so narrow. But I do find sometimes first is needed as the story would be told better from a more personal view.

6: Hell, chapters don't even need to exist. There are books that don't have any at all, just paragraphs (Discworld does this). Chapters can be any size, I don't particularly mind. Unless they are online chapters, then they need progress the story a little bit at least. From writer point of view though, I write 2000 - 4000 words for a chapter. I feel I need to give a lot to the reader and need to write a lot for the story to progress quickly. I do not like writing short parts. I feel bad otherwise ;-;
