    I saw it in a picture! haha it's so true though. I feel like I'll never be the same when I finish a good book haha
    Yeah I think that does! I think anything under a thousand words is a drabble, but I can't be sure!
    It's all about finding the right story I guess. I think I just have high expectations of people or something. I find I'm very hard to please for some reason. I don't know if it's an act or if it's just the way I am.
    Mmm, no I guess not! I would only look at the 'teen' section of the books because the new ones were always on display. But after awhile, they stopped getting new books and I read all the teen ones there. There are other books, but I just don't have to energy to go looking.
    I could see that! This town sucks and I want to leave it. Everyone here suffers from small town syndrome and they're all stuck up and used to living a certain way. It really gets old, and I'm tired of seeing the same faces all the time.
    We could create an inner circle haha nothing wrong with that.

    Hi again, sorry I took so long to reply.
    In your story "Who is who" you could write down what you wrote for me. The way you explained it to me made it very easy for me to understand and I think that including that into your story will only make it much better.

    I think it went something like "There are 3 separate aspects, aside from the form, in Eponeys case, Centaur.These aspects are enhancing the character, allowing her a new perspective on life, allowing her to do things. In Eponeys case, as a mage, she can perform magic, according to the mages limitations." Sentences like this only make things much clearer for the reader to understand.

    That is true! I have that weird habit of having a 'book hangover' I finish a book but I'm so stuck on it that I son't want to read anything else. Oh really? Haha like drabbles? That makes sense. I guess picky is good. It's just a lot of stories seem the same these days, and the library at my town doesn't have maybe books hah
    Yeah pretty much! Haha but if I offer  to read something then I comment. Usually if people know that I'm reading it I'll comment. But if they don't then I don't bother commenting 
    Yes people are like that, and when they have an attitude like that they fill the world with crappy stuff usually. Like how that Rebecca chick got her dad to pay for song writers and stuff. Like seriously!! Do the work yourself. 
    Nope! You're really never alone. It just seems like you are because it's so hard to find people that are just like you. I pretty messed in the head and I think it scares some people. Haha but oh well
    Yeah I guess so! I mean I've been on Mibba for awhile now, and not many people read original stories anymore. Unless you use the comment swap. 
    I think with inner demons, you just got to accept them. You just have to be okay that they're there, because they are in you for a reason. They help me write things in a way that keeps things realistic, because the world isn't as magnificent as it is made out to be sometimes.
     Haha nope! Use as many words as you please!
    I think it's fun to write, but it's exciting when someone else likes it too.

    They do, I try not to get too bothered by it when it's over the internet too. I try to remember not everyone will like my stories too. Because I sure as hell don't like some of the stories I read. I don't mind reading stories to help people out and stuff, but I generally have a hard time liking them. They do grow on me, I'm just a little picky I guess.
    Oh I see what you mean! I guess I don't like reccing simply because they whole, I don't know if people will like it too kind of thing. Lots of people in this world appreciate good writing, and they will read anything. Man, I don't even know what I'm talking about right now haha
    Oh no, just in general. If I'm searching for a story, and I find one I like, I don't comment. I only comment in comment swaps and if someone directly asks me too. Otherwise it just slips my mind.
    I could! There is some that sit well with me more than others. But after this week, I don't think I'll be drinking for a while. Made some stupid mistakes that I don't want to go through. My friend wanted me to come to this party because apparently she wanted me there, didn't talk to me the whole time. She was like "Okay I think I'm leaving soon!". I said that too and she offered me a ride and I'm like NO THANKS.
    Mmmm, I dunno! It's more like, alcohol stuffs me from thinking as much. Or I just try to trick my mind into being a certain way. I'm just kind of weird I guess.
    That's true! It just gets to me how some people are so set on becoming novellists but they don't put in the time to learn to write properly. It's like this girl who was so concerning about the health of her hair but she does the worst things too it anyway. Okay that had nothing to do with anything but I just wanted to put that.
    Well that's understandable! I get that, since I'm constantly going back in forth from writing the 'American' way, 'British' way and something I write words in french. It's just when you spell something completely out of whack is all. I could read your stories if you really like. Can't promise I'd get to the soon though.
    Yup, you just need to know when to use them though! Or else it interupts the flow of reading.
    There's some stories I wouldn't mind a few comments on, but I have a feeling no one really likes them. Plus I have a lot of one shots that are just kind of there to rot haha.
    Writing is supposed to be fun! I used to really love it, but something happened this year and all my interests and things flipped around. It took a bit for me to come back writing, but I think I'm starting to love it again.
    It is fun! No you can't! I often send really lengthy messages and I like to explain in a lot of detail, and then you get that dreaded one word reply. Drives me nuts!

    Ah ok! I started thinking after I sent that comment that I should probably read the sequel. Thanks for letting me know.

    Hey, thanks for your comment on my profile (which was in reply to my comment on 'Celeste 1'
    - I didn't realise there was a prequel! I will definitely read it some time, I'm feeling slightly less confused already!
    So thanks for that.

    Thank you so much for the comment! I love that you gave me a real opinion. It is a little confusing at the moment, but it's supposed to be that way. You figure everything out as Sienna does and she doesn't know anything yet. The chapter in Lucas' POV was just to show that what she is experiencing isn't just dreams. But I will definitely try and answer a few of those questions soon! :)

    That's what I like to think! haha And to always mention the good and the bad! I make sure I mention that I'm not trying to be harsh because you can easily be misunderstood over the internet. I agree with you on that, since every writer has a certain style and such
    That's a good thought! haha I have yet to rec a story, or anything rather. I'm weird about that though. Even when I really like something, I generally only subscribe. I'm that dreaded silent reader too, unless someone is expecting a comment out of me.
    Haha no not at all! It'll stay in your system for a good while! Hence hangovers.
    Exactly! I find that alcohol tastes better when I'm in a good mood. I think I have a bit of an intolerance too it though, it hurts my tummy. Before you say it, it's not because I have too much :P
    Yeah I think so! I think some people don't pay much attention either some times. I know I do. I'm like a dog, and my ears perk up when I find something.
    Yeah exactly! Lots of people comment on spelling errors and missing commas, but I find not many do when it comes to dialogue. I'm no expert when it comes to dialogue, but I know when it's done improperly and rarely anyone comments on that. Someone told me there were taught different, I don't wanna bad mouth or something, but there is only one way to do things in terms of punctuation and senctence structure. That kind just irks me bit. I don't care what the content is, but if it isn't done right and you won't change, it's like my comment has gone to waste and I get slightly offended. I take a lot of time to give a good comment and when I give reviews on another site. When I get a really long story to read, I read every single chapter. I know what I'm getting into with these comment swaps, I expect other people to be aware as well.
    Haha sorry for the rant there! I haven't really told anyone that would actually care or get it! I would tell my mom but she's always like 'yeah yeah whatever' because she could care less about writing.

    Yeah me too! It's easier to find mistakes in other people's writing, so I try not to be too harsh, but I try my best to give some good critique!
    Well I'm glad you think that! I hope it's interesting too! I'm working on the second chapter and it's a little harder than the first haha. I like stories that paint and image as well. Even though I have an imagination, I expect something to trigger it!
    Aahh yes I see your point. I should probably mention that it's over a good time span, because Wren would be puking if that was within twenty minutes. Thus, people drink too fast I have noticed that! My friend said it's takes her a lot to get drunk but I think it's just 'cause she has it in her mind that she needs a lot to drink. But I could beg to differ.
    That's true too! Some people though kind of only focus on the things they like. I find they tend to forget to mention punctuation, grammar and spelling. I find it refreshing when someone tells me what's wrong with that kind of stuff in my writing, because I was never taught properly.

    Thanks for the comment! I'll fix those mistakes, thanks for pointing them out I'd totally miss them!
    I'm not sure about the first two paragraphs. It's kinda how every chapter will be laid out but I'll keep that in mind! Oh that's fine to be picky. I don't usually like it either, but generally, teenagers don't say certain things. Maybe alcohol shouldn't be referred to in that way, but for socially awkward people like me, it does help you loosen up. I'll look into that overuse of 'sometimes' too.
    Thanks again, I really appreciate it! You actually left a good comment even though it's just for the comment swap.

    I have reported the user; I'm trying to see if other members who have been affected would also report him. It is in the best interest of all Mibba writers who have experienced this.

    Ok, let me explain something to YOU. I know the rules of mibba, been here for a quite awhile. So I do know the rules, I do not appreciate your rudeness, and if there was a block button I'd use it in a heartbeat - believe me. I gave my opinion on the story and it was as helpful as it could be to a story that DOESN'T make sense. I don't think you fully comprehend the idea of comment swap. I review stories, just like you, the only difference is I don't have 1 story broken in a million of different chapters in separate PAGES - unlike you. I read and critique work. But I refuse to be talked down to by someone who obviously doesn't get that concept. My other advice is to quit being rude to other people because you can't handle someone explaining the rules; you're not above them. Work on being respectful to other writers, then come talk to me. If you contact me or write on my profile one more time I will have you reported, and then I will have your story reported for spamming because mibba does not take kindly to people spamming on one story in a million different chapters - that is against the rules. Do it right and you'll have sucess. Do it like you've been doing it...well, I'm sure Mibba will handle it. Peace and I'm out. Don't bother writing back to me I'm not going to waste my time responding. I at least use comment swap in a mature fashion without having to abuse it to get reviews.

    Ah, I see. When I think of sequels I think of the same characters from the prequel in a different situation, which is why I was a bit confused.

    I obviously can't change how you want to spell things or what kind of grammar you want to use, I just like to point out the things I see just in case it was missed when you wrote it or anything. If you want to write it like that, then by all means, go right ahead! Cute

    I see, Queen's English was always a bit confusing to me, probably because it reminds me Shakespeare which always puts me in a confused state, hahah.

    By "faraway land" I meant somewhere like Narnia, that didn't exist on Earth. England makes sense though, as far as your story is concerned.

    Yeah sure, I can comment on different parts of the story as well if you want me to. (:

    Sid and Vincent are anorexic, it's just the way I describe things. Sid is just out of breath, is all.

    Thank you very much for the comment on Tremble. I wanted to clear a couple things up that stood out in your comment, though.

    Yes, the summary page looks like a chapter, as does the prologue, because they're both exerts from later on in the story. As for the "silly" author's notes, they're me connecting with my readers, giving them a friendly feel. Yes, there are more chapters. It's a long-term story that I'm working very diligently on. I must say though, once you get past the Prologue, the story picks up.

    I suggest that you read the actual first chapter before you make a final judgement on it, though. (:

    As always, though, thank you very much for the feedback.
