Comment Swap

@ for dru's sins.
Ok. Thanks for trying to help! (:

@ blown away;
No problem. I'll also put a post up in staff forum so they know people are having issues.

@ for dru's sins.
Ok.

How do I get another story if I am not really interested in the one I got to comment on?

@ firefliesinwater
You don't. You are required to comment the story you receive.

@ for dru's sins.
Its all right.
Thanks, anyway!

I think the counter is off on here. It says I've given and received 12 comments each. But I know I haven't received a comment on two of the stories I've submitted. So it should be 12/10.

NVM!!

Actually reading the story and getting into it :)

Thank you, Dujo! This is one of the best things I've seen on the new Mibba yet. Everything else is great, though, too.

edit: By the way, on stories with multiple chapters, do we have to read the whole thing and then comment, or can we read one or two chapters and comment? Also, will this be updated to where we can put to comment on one-shots, complete stories, ect...?

Cyanide-Charlie:

Thing I don't like about it is, I got a story to read and it's something like, 11 chapters long and it's not something I'd like to read, not in a million years. It's got a good style of story going on but I don't wish to actually read it. Anything I can do?

I'll make some updates tomorrow so you can wait for that to happen.

I look forward to it :)

You don't have to read the whole thing.
More updates are coming soon

I've read and commented on quite a few stories now and have received zero comments. Is that normal? Does it take a while till someone ends up on your story? It does show that people have read it though.

I don't know if this has been asked yet, but what if we get a story or something that we really have no interest at all in reading? Like, for example, what if it deals with something we're not comfortable with? We can't change the story we get, can we? Like why don't we have the option of choosing what genre we want to read and stuff and not just what rating and type (original, fan, or true)? I'm just wondering because I like this whole comment swapping thing, it's really fun and it's a nice way to find new stories...but they should be stories we're interested in and not just randomly selected.

Just saying. If there is a way to change the story and I just haven't found out about it, I'd like to know.

Thanks. c:

@ collide with the sky
No, there isn't anything you can do if you get a story you don't want to read. Dujo's planning some updates, though, so that might help your chances of getting stories you're interested in in the future.

@ battalions
thank you! c:

@ Dujo
I did do the story suggested, and I followed your answer to @TooConfusedForWords, but it still won't give me a new story. I click submit, but it only takes me to read my story./:

Okay, after many tries with the comment swap, I just received a story which I can't even read. The chapters are either not up yet or it was set to private, I don't know. And I had to comment on something that was empty. Which, was really awkward.

Probably you guys can try barring writers from using the comment swap if they haven't had any chapters up?

Anyways, I'm addicted to the comment swap thingie

I know people are mostly posting issues and requests for change on the comment swap, but as someone who has been using it for about 14+ hours now, I have a few things to say.

1) I have read and commented on 20 stories today! 20! In 14+ hours! That's more than I've read in the past six months.

2) I've formed a respect for Sports-related fan fiction, and especially the dedicated writers who take the time to care about something they didn't find on the internet. (No offense to the band-fiction writers, as I am one myself)

3) I have collected a small, but growing group of friends through the comment swap!

4) I have tested the Avenge Sevenfold, Hockey, Teacher/Student "waters" and found that the characters are not too shabby!

5) I feel like I have offered more advice then I ever had and gotten back a positive response.

6) I have successfully stayed up way past the time I said was bedtime, which I haven't done due to mibba-related activities in a long time. (Thanks to the Roleplayer's Forum for all the sleepless night writing)

7) I feel as though I am gaining some wonderful advice in return on my own stories.

8) I have readers now!

9) New Mibba and I are becoming more acquainted, both on my laptop and phone. (And my 3DS and my computer. I'm addicted, needless to say.)

10) All in all, I don't believe the Mibba Staff has ever come up with anything more brilliant than this and I am extremely excited for whatever updates come our way on the comment swap. And I wanted to take the time to thank the Mibba staff/family for all the amazing things they have given us. It's like Christmas in June.

(PS. My only hope, if no one has brought it up already, is that it would be wonderful to have a character count of some kind. As long as that doesn't set a restriction on how much we can write. (Only one of the many reasons I hate Twitter.))

It keeps giving me stories over twice? And right now, it's giving me the same story over and over, but the comment I posted was almost 300 characters...
