We all know that authors like commenters. I, personally, love commenters ridiculously. But it's hard to write good comments all the time. So I figured, as an author and a reader, I can tell you how to make a good comment out of a sucky chapter.The best thing you can ever do for an author is spazz in the comments. It honestly doesn't matter what you say. It doesn't have to be constructive criticism...

So...someone had a banner.Me: "Where did you get the sparkly text?"Them: "Fotoflexer.com"Me: *goes to site and is engulfed in banner-making-mood*So here's all the banner's I've made so far. If you click on the pictures, it should take you to the stories.Is that all? I feel like I made more. Anyway, here's the deal. If you would be so kind as to read one of my stories (as far as you'd like) and...

So....I found out that someone has been happily copying my story "Operation Beautiful" off of Quizilla and posting it as "Operation Smile." It is kind of amusing, to me, that they copied off of quizilla instead of Mibba. Especially because Mibba gets posted on faster and I've already mentioned in the quizilla chapters that I post on Mibba. Anyway, I sent them a "strongly worded letter" and was...

Chapter 32 of Operation Beautiful from Haley's perspectiveThey're coming again. I can feel it. Going to the hospital was a bad idea. Three times this week I've woken up screaming and crying. Three times my mom's pounded on my locked door, begging me to let her in. But with her, it only gets worse. Instead of Trina, I dream of cutting and erasing. I'd rather remember Trina.As the first wave of...

Chapter 18 of Operation Beautiful in Haley's perspective.I can feel it. I can feel it coming like it used to. Like it used to months ago when Trevor tried to take me to parties. I try to control it, but it’s usless. I couldn’t control it then, and I can’t control it now.Sometimes Emmaleigh’s face is replaced with Trina’s. Sometimes I’ll see Trina. Buying a burger, testing some eye...

So I've noticed that Spike and Clarice have more or less disappeared from the scene in Operation Beautiful. As someone who went through hell to make a "Team Spike" t-shirt design, this saddens me. We need to bring Team Spike back!The Contest Rules1. Write a piece involving Spike. A vignette or a short story, doesn't matter.-->I will also accept, if anyone's willing. A oneshot of what happened...

So...I finally got around to taking pictures of the official Team Spike t-shirt design :)Here's the what you do. You take the picture below:And crop it on your computer so only the picture itself shows with the white background. If you make the white background whiter with some techy stuff, all the better for you, I would think. Oh! If you'd like to save money on the printing, I would use techy...

So in chapter 31, Clarice and Haley end up watching a tear-jerker called 'Whispers in the Snow.' I figured I would explain the backstory to it:We were heading out to see Megamind. It's me and maybe 6 cousins of various ages piled into a minivan. On the way we pick up my 10 year old cousin named...Allen. And despite the fact that Allen knows perfectly well that we're going to see Megamind, he...
