    A list of stories you'd like to read, but don't have time to do so. When you can't save it to your computer as a favorited page because you may be on a different computer at a different time with more time to read.
    It could be in Subscriptions or a completely new section of My Mibba or something where it would be easy to get to.

    I like it too. I think it'd be very handy.

    Sounds very useful. I have a ton of stories/ chapters bookmarked in my Favorites, so it would be cool to already have them saved here xD

    This sounds like a great idea! I think I'd be handy for those who are just browsing mibba for a second and come across a story they want to read but don't really have the time to save the link somewhere.

    I just subscribe to them and go back later, but I always forget which stories I'm currently reading and which I still need to read.

    Yeah, I think this feature would be a lot like subscriptions. Maybe it would be nice to be able to organize subscriptions into folders (ie "Active" "Want to Read" "Finished Stories"). If you read a lot of stories on Mibba, I can see how keep the titles straight in one big block of subscriptions could be difficult.

    I like that organisation a lot. :)

    I like this idea. Scribophile has a similar feature called "Reading Reminders" that I use very often.

    I like this idea. I think it should be seperate from subscriptions, though, because I don't much like subscribing to a story unless I know I like it first. If I haven't gotten to read any of it, I don't know how much I like it, and I don't want to subscribe to a story just to unsubscribe later because I don't like it. I don't like losing subscribers, I'm sure other authors don't as well.

    ^Agreed. It makes sense for the list to be associated with subscriptions in terms of organization, but I wouldn't want them to be treated the same way – aside from what you said, there's also the fact that it'd be annoying to get emails for updates on a story you're not reading yet.

    I was just thinking about this!

    I'd love for Mibba to have separate folders for our subscriptions, or just the "active/inactive" thing that was on the old Mibba, so I know which stores I've read and which I haven't. (And, this is irrelevant here but, I'd love the option to view our subscriptions in alphabetical order or according to last updated to suit our needs at the time.)

    I think we should have a separate "read later" list, and maybe a "read later" button (kind of like the "watch later" button on youtube?) for any material we want to read later, be it stories, poems, journals, blogs, etc.
