[b]IMPORTANT UPDATE REGUARDING STORY CONTEST:[/b]

Hello, out there! I'm so sorry that it's been almost two months since the due date and I still haven't come up with a winner. The truth is, I've been so busy with my school's musical and my homework and such that I haven't really had time to work with the contest very much. Also, I seem to have lost the rubric I created for the contents, so I’ll have to find that sometime soon...

Still, once school starts dwindling down, I promise to go through each of the stories and write a detailed response with my thoughts for each of them. Once I go through the stories and give them each a grade out of one hundred (which you will not receive; I will only use that for purposes of choosing a winner) then I will be able to determine the grand prize winners.

I have also decided what the prizes are going to be once this contest is finished. Be excited! Here they are:

[i]First Place:[/i] I will give the first place winner my own personal editing skills for one of their full length stories. The way that I do this is I let the winner send me a chapter at a time of their story, at their own pace of course. Then, I read the chapters as they come and send my edits and suggestions back. It’s really fun for me to do, so I’m really looking forward to this prize. Also, if the winner isn’t one for full length stories, I’ll be their beta for as many one shots as they want, instead.
[i]Second Place:[/i] The second place winner will have a very similar prize to the first place winner in that I will beta three of their one shot stories in the same fashion as the first place winner.
[i]Third Place:[/i] The third place winner will receive the opportunity for me to beta only one of their one shots.

I know that those sound like lame prizes, but that’s mostly what I can offer, ha ha. If you guys have any suggestions for prizes that you would enjoy more, please let me know! Also, I may have a few honorable mentions to accompany these grand prize winners.

So, there’s my update for you. Sorry that it’s about a page long; I never know how to wrap things up, really. Please message me with any questions, concerns, or suggestions! Thanks for your patience and good luck!

Thanks! I'm Alina :D Hi Corinne!

You're very welcome! I haven't been on Mibba for a while, and I've just finished an extremely well-written novel, so I was very quickly exasperated with most of the stories I found on the site. Eventually, it led to that comment! Afterward, when I thought I should do the same for other stories, I found myself shaking my head and saying, "I can't fix that." That may either say that you are more gifted than most, or that the other users on this site are inept. Nonetheless, it puts you at a cut above most. Well done!

Hello(:

Well, that's good. Take your time; I just wanted to make sure that you didn't forget about it, ha ha! Just let me know when your story is finished. Thanks!
