    As opposed to the 50 author oneshot stories.

    I think it would be nice if one person could create a "collection" and then they could just add the oneshots the other authors' write (based on mutual consent).

    So, I could start a collection called "The Clinic" and everyone would have to write a story that takes place at this hospital. And then I would get a PM/comment from the person and add the story and then they'd get a notification and "OK" it.

    Then the story would be a oneshot on the person's profile and uptop (where it shows sequel/prequel) it could show "is a part of ______ collection" and then someone could click it and see the full collection.

    y/n? Thoughts?

    Obviously there would need to be standards in place. As opposed to "A list of all the stories on Mibba that I love".

    I think that this is actually a pretty good idea.

    Like you said there would need to be standards, but I think that is a really nice idea. Some users really seem to like becoming a part of those big one-shot stories.

    Being a part of one, I can say that the most annoying thing about the entire thing is recieving the notifications for comments for the entire thing. I think if you only recieved notifications when you're contribution was added it would a little less annoying.

    I agree. And it would also be nice if just your part of the story appeared on your profile as opposed to the entire 500 chaptered story.
