Hey guys!So, I need a favor, and I'm willing to dish out story comments for some help. :) I'm a pre-student saving up for college (and a trip to Disney for my little brother, but that's another story) and I'm currently entered in a contest to win a $300 spa package and I could really, really, really use it. I'm working seven days a week most weeks to save up for the things I need, and this would...

I'm ridiculously bored and looking for things to read. I'm not entirely sure what I'm craving at the moment, so feel free to have at it. Let me know what your thing is about and how long it is and I'll check it out - also let me know whether or not you're looking for constructive criticism. No promises, but I will try to comment on things.Fanfiction and original fic are both totally cool in my...

trigger warning for sexist slurs and ableist slurs probably emotional abusequick explanation of the situation: about a year and a half ago, my boyfriend of two-and-a-half years (at the time) moved in with my family. his roommate had caused some sort of scene and gotten them both kicked out, so he crashed on our couch for a couple of nights. because he was helpful and really sweet and everything,...

So, I'm kind of kicking around at the moment, thinking that I want to write a letter to someone. Unfortunately, the only person who ever writes me proper mail is a little busy at the moment, and it's been a while since either of us have sent anything to the other.I had an idea where I wanted to write mail to someone I've never met and didn't know much about, and thought maybe someone on Mibba...

I've been off Mibba for a little white, dealing with some drama at home, and I came back to find everything all...messed up. I was used to New Mibba - in fact, I actually preferred it to the old one. It was so smooth and nice-looking and easy to figure out, and now I have to do it all over again? What's going on, guys?I'm not complaining as much as I am thoroughly confused. How in the world did it...

I'm so heartbroken. It's hard to actually, properly convey how I feel every time my mother starts this kind of thing again. I feel shattered, and worthless, and just plain sad, really. I didn't mean to do anything wrong. I didn't mean to make her angry. Hell, I was trying to agree with her, though evidently that didn't work.My boyfriend had a job interview tonight, and if he gets the job and they...

I've been lurking around the writing contests forum for a while and entering everything that brings me inspiration, but my latest idea is for a songfic contest, and I had a question. For my story to work the way I want it to, I feel like I would really have to match the text with specific time-points in the song, and the only way I can think to do that is to actually include the lyrics between...

I've been spending a lot of time on the Writing Contests section of Mibba, and while I do adore it, I'm kind of sad at the outcome of my latest contest. I had a lot of interest for it and a lot of people entered, but by the due date, only one person had submitted anything to read. This was really disappointing. :/I mean, I'm not mad at anyone, but now I'm worried about what to do with that one...

I know it's not as popular as the November run, but I've been meaning to rewrite my mess of a novel anyway and the June version should keep me busy enough. I'm kinda sad, though, that not as many people will be doing this with me...I was wondering if any Mibbians were doing Camo NaNo tomorrow? It starts in an hour...I guess I'm not sleeping tonight like I had planned! :)

I was wondering about this since I saw story layouts being offered as prizes in the Writing Contest forums. I'm playing with a lot of the options and I wanted to do the same thing, because I rather like my layouts.So, how do people accomplish this? Can you share blog layouts with others as well?

I've just finished up the second draft of a oneshot I'm working on [Let the Dead Bury the Dead, found [here.] for a competition in the forums, and I was really hoping to get some critique on it. Harsh, unforgiving, constructive criticism. I mean, don't trash the piece, but don't be shy about letting me know what could be improve. I want to be really happy with this before I turn it in to be...

I am rather bored at the moment and I'm trying out new things on Photoshop. I don't like doing edits without a goal in mind, however, so I'm offering banners for the Mibbian community. I can't say how good they're going to be, as I'm newish to photo-manipulation, but I can certainly promise to put my every effort into making them beautiful.If you want one, drop a comment! Information I need is...

Hi hello Mibba, my name's Hayley. Last year, i wrote a NaNoWriMo novel about pirates and gypsies and magic. This year, I'm rewriting that novel to possibly make it available to publish. I've just started this, but as i was rewriting the first little bit i wondered what introduction readers would actually enjoy more.Now, these are two entirely different openings. in the second opening, the one i...

After two happy years watching our husky dog, Lily, try to play with the smaller dogs next door (our neighbours have five or six Schnauzers and our husky absolutely loves seeing them and tries to get over the fence to play with them when they're not all playing in the front yard) we decided to add a new puppy to the house and we brought home a tiny Jack Russell / Pug mix we called Layla.Lily seems...

The title says it all, folks.I'm really getting into making short films lately and I wanted to make one for Christmas. The problem is, I am out of ideas that have not been done over and over (and better) by Hollywood. I was wondering if you guys might have any suggestions or themes or ideas that you might have so I can work on a script for this holiday coming up. :DAlso, if anyone has any...

So, most of my friends are getting drunk tonight, and I am...sitting at home organizing my home library alphabetically by author. I've always been the one kid in my group of friends that is just pretty much against anything they advise you not to do in health class. I don't smoke weed (or cigarettes), I don't drink, I don't even skip class.Generally, this doesn't bother me much, but lately...

I understood the 'emo' thing when it was still plaid shirts, messenger bags and Chuck Taylors. I understood the 'emo' thing when it was black eyeliner and Nightmare Before Christmas tees. But then 'emo' branched into, like, fifteen thousand different sub-genres that are so obscure and so not mainstream that i have no idea what ridiculous trends you ridiculous kids have come up with now....

I am starting a podcast-style radio show on teencastradio.tumblr.com (this website is very messy and unfinished as of right now) called The Musical Dictionary.The point of this specific radio show is to help clueless people like me understand the many complex and bizarre genres of music that exist. For example, there was once a time when music could just be called 'emo' (nobody shoot me, I'm just...

I've just finished the oneshot I want to enter for a fanfic contest, and I think I'm reasonably happy with it. But, on the other hand, it's twelve thirty in the morning, and I don't exactly trust my own judgement. I don't know how good it is in terms on content, styling or coherency (I'm fairly sure my spelling and grammar are up to scratch, but if you catch something I missed, that would be...

Did that above sentence even make proper sense?I don't know what it is, but I am completely biased toward same-gender relationships. I think that male couples are completely as natural as heterosexual couples, but two females in a relationship kind of freaks me out. It's the same issua as when guys don't mind lesbian couples, but they have serious homophobia regarding male gay couples.Now, I would...
