This is the contest.WHICH I WON! :D :DI've entered a bajillion contests on here and the ones that actually gave results, I didn't get very far in. To actually win one feels really good! I'm just gushing over this right now. It has made my week. So make sure to check out the contest because the stories submitted are excellent. And here's my entry, Gates, which deals with drug addiction and a...

I tried so hard to like Avenged Sevenfold. I really, really did.I tried listening to Dear God, most of their self-tited album, Welcome to the Family, because my boyfriend had some of their songs on his ipod and I thought I should try and listen to them. I thought they were alright but not something I would actually download or actively go out of my way to listen to. Just a band I wouldn't turn off...

So as far as I know I don't really know any Pantera fans on here. I'm an enormous fan of them and their music has changed my life for the better. In 2004 their guitarist, Dimebag Darrell, was killed and today is his 47th birthday. All over Tumblr people are celebrating and posting pictures and videos of how energetic, funny and amiable he was to everyone around him. The nicest guy in the whole...

So all the documents on my laptop are all over the place and I'm currently in the process of backing everything I have on Mibba up. It's not a lot, but I'm also considering deleting my Fanfiction.net account and transferring everything I have on there to here. Most of the stuff is downright laughable but my writing has vastly improved over the years. Not many people here read my stuff anyway but I...

For me my self-esteem is like an endless game of Russian Roulette. I never know when the self-hate is going to hit me. And when it does, it just stays there and stagnates, and it's made me believe - literally, almost unshakeably believe - that I am not a good person with any redeemable qualities. I used to be incredibly confident, and it wasn't that long ago. I believe self-love is the most...

On Mibba I tend to lurk. I stay active for a week or two and then lose interest and leave. It's been like this for a very long time ever since the site's new layout which prompted many of my friends to leave, almost all of which I did not have over Facebook or any other format. But I'm trying to make myself comfortable here and write again, but it's something I just can't seem to do. My drawing...

A lot of people have been speaking about this - "a lot of negativity on Mibba lately" - in their blog entries but I really fail to understand what it means. It's never clearly defined.Arguments on Mibba happen. I've seen many of them. But no place in the world - even on the Internet - is exempt from arguments. Mibba isn't perfect, and even though it's a very comforting, tight-knit atmosphere,...

I posted a few days ago on the Joint Author thread in the Group Written Stories forum, looking for someone who's into original fiction, preferably fantasy or sci-fi, but I haven't had a response yet. I'm willing to write pretty much anything except fan fiction and arranged marriage. (If you read my blog discussing things I hate in stories, you'll understand my enormous dislike of them.)I'd really,...

Intersectionality is the DEFAULT.If people would actually listen, feminism does not call for or advocate the genocide of all those with an XY chromosome formation or a world dominated by women. It's calling to try and include more women in science, politics, business, and economics. It's trying to stop this mass sexualization of girls before they're even eighteen and sometimes sixteen years old,...

Inspired by Amy's (little motorkitty;) list of things she hates in stories, I had a good think and remembered that the Things You Hate In Stories thread is my favourite thing ever and I love to read it because some of the things there are so damn hilarious.Here's the thread, for anyone looking for a good giggle. So, my list would be as follows:Arranged marriages.Especially the kind set in modern...
