I like the idea of doing a co-write because it's like a part-time story where it's still intriguing to see where the other characters are going but you get some say in it. I found one story interesting that I thought would be a good idea to do until I realized that all the names were the names from One Direction. I get that they're really popular right now amongst the teenage crowd but c'mon! I also get that people are really into the vampires and zombies and stuff and I'm happy you have your cup of tea and enjoy that stuff but a good amount of stuff I'm seeing is straight up taking the characters and just going off on their own direction. Can we please make our own characters and own back stories?
I'm sorry that I've turned to negative town on this post. I would like to do a co-write with a few people who enjoy building the characters and have their own style or own voice. It's tough to put a description on someone's voice but you can usually tell by their writing. I would say mine is often sarcastic and straight forward. I tend to question the question instead of giving the cliche' easy answer. I find it more interesting to wonder why the person is asking the question in the first place and not necessarily what the answer is that's given. I know that not every story has a happy ending. The awkward person does not all of the sudden change and get the most popular person in school (if you even think that exist). I also tend to realize I show my age on a site that is mostly teens.
But all that being said I still do enjoy Mibba. I like to here feedback and see stories that I wouldn't think of because it sparks that creative trigger in my brain to step up my writing. I can't say I make a large volume of stories or that I've been doing it since I was little. I know I've evolved as I've gotten older as will everyone. Writing is a hobby that I enjoy and not something I feel I must do. So if you have an idea for a story and are looking for a co-writer I might be interested. If it's an idea I can get behind and feel like we could mesh our styles together I will be more than happy to work on it on a regular basis and hopefully create something beautiful and something people will take something away from.
