Featured Contests

Let's have a look at this week's contests!

Love in a Hopeless Place

Writing about love is something that many users enjoy doing. The whole process of falling in love can be worthy of an entire novel, as is evident by plenty of published romance novels. Mibbians enjoy it too, so why not have a contest all about finding love? zuccarello. has made a contest where participants have to write an entry to do with two characters falling in love. The twist? It has to be in an unusual place.

Her Love in a Hopeless Place contest provides some examples of places that are unusual: a car park, a cemetery, or even being on a date with someone else. The host is open to users suggesting their own setting so if there's somewhere that would be perfect but isn't listed, feel free to let her know! With no other requirements, users are free to go in whatever direction they wish.

I Think I'm Crushing

Romance is a big thing on Mibba: relationships, breakups, and everything in between. But the one aspect that rarely gets focused on is having a crush. This is different to developing feelings for someone because most of the time, the feelings are mutual whereas crushes are often one-sided and secret, although there are times when others know about the crush but nothing still occurs.

I Think I'm Crushing is a contest where the host, dawn of light, wants entries to be centred around a crush - or two or three! The task is only to write about a crush, how it's written is entirely down to each individual participant. Whether it's the main character who is crushing or they're the crush of somebody else, both are completely accepted, as is the crush being nothing to do with the main character but rather a friend of theirs who they help with it. There is no limitation on how this can be taken so users are bound to take this task in several different ways!
