So I cut my hair off yesterday.I've been wanting to have it like this since Christmas, and yesterday I decided to just do it. It's a little uneven in places, but overall I really like it. What do you guys think? It's still taking a little getting used to though - every time I pass a mirror I'm like, 'Oh yeah, no more hair.'So like I mentioned in a previous blog, I'm agender (which is one of the...

This is part of mibba's positivity bingo, and I am here to spread the love! So here is a quick list of things I love about mibba.- The forums. I love being able to browse through debates, forum games, writing discussions, etc.- The staff, who are all amazing.- The events, like the positivity bingo and the readathons. They're a great way to help stay active on the site, and are a lot of fun.- The...

This is partly inspired by Hina's three word prompt game, and partly inspired by my increasing frustration at my writer's block. (Seriously, I haven't written anything for ages, it's getting ridiculous.)So, I've decided to open myself up to prompts in the hopes of kick-starting my writing again. Drop a prompt in the comments, and I will write a drabble or one shot based on it. The prompts can be...

Hello! I'm Beth, I'm 22, and I've been on mibba since 2007. I came here from INO, the MCR fansite also run by Dujo. There was a writing section there for people to post their fanfics, and loads of users were moving over here to post their fics, so I decided to join as well. So I've seen mibba change a lot since I've been here - I remember when we had journals instead of blogs, I remember the when...

The Discworld is a flat world which sits on the backs of four elephants, who in turn stand on the back of the space turtle Great A'tuin.It's also a fantasy series by Terry Pratchett, and a bloody good one at that. But since there's around forty books in the series, it can be a little daunting to get into, so I thought I'd make a quick guide so people can get a general idea of where they can...

“Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?”-Going Postal-I was twenty when I picked up my first Discworld book. I had just moved to a new town for uni, into a tiny little room in student accommodation, right across from the library.I didn't know anyone, and I'm not particularly good at meeting new people, so I spent most of my free time in that library, and that's...

First day of the February Challenge! Yay!So, here are some of my favourite things from January!My favourite tv shows are Cucumber and Banana, which are new shows on channel 4 and E4, written by Russell T Davis. They're both part of three connected series, the other being Tofu, a webseries that's only on 40d. Both Cucumber and Banana are about inter-connecting groups of LGBT people in Manchester....

Around this time last year, there was a February Challenge created by ace merrill., and I wondered if anyone would want to do something like that again this year. I know several people have talked about how quiet mibba has been lately, and I thought something like this might help people be a bit more active.I've got about twenty ideas for daily challenges - things like commenting on stories,...

So back in December, I wrote a blog talking about the writing goals I had for this year, and so far I haven't been keeping to them. I haven't written any of the drabbles from the prompt list I found, and so far I've only got the rough opening of something I might use for one of my Endless oneshots. (The Endless from the Sandman comics.) And I'm thinking of scraping that.It's hard to stay...

I joined mibba back in 2007, meaning that this year will be my eighth year on the site. That's kind of scary. I mean, I was fourteen when I joined, and now I'm twenty-two. That's a long time, and yet parts of it seemed to have gone by really quickly.It's kind of weird to look back and think of some of my earlier stuff. I mean, my first few stories were so bad! Like, really bad. The first stories I...

Does anyone want to do a comment swap on their drabbles? I have a few that need a bit of love - Snowfall, Ironic Fashion, and Mistletoe. They're all holiday/Christmas drabbles. So if you want to swap, just leave a comment here.In other news, I went to see The Hobbit with my brother today. It was good, though I thought some bits dragged on a little. Still, it was nice to hang out with my brother...

Since the year is nearly over, I thought I'd share my goals and resolutions for the upcoming year.WritingNext year, I plan to write more. Firstly, I want to do a 100 drabble challenge using this prompt list. I really like drabbles, and I like the idea of trying to write one every day. (And even if I don't finish/post one every day, I want to try and get all of the prompts done during the...

These are some of the books I read this year I enjoyed the most. If you've read any of these, or you have any book recommendations, please comment.The Knife of Never Letting Go - Patrick NessFirst in the Chaos Walking series. A fantasy YA about a town where everyone can hear each other's thoughts in an endless stream of Noise, and what happens when Todd Hewett, the last boy in Prentisstown, finds...

I love writing drabbles. - I love the challenge of writing a story with a very limited word count. So I was googling around and came across this list of drabble prompts; 100 prompts for 100 drabbles. And I thought, Why don't I do this?I mean, I'm always telling myself that I need to write more, so this seems like a great opportunity to challenge myself. So I was thinking of starting this and try...

I'm thinking of doing a holiday/Christmas drabble series for the twelve days of Christmas. I might use the lyrics of the song as inspiration, I don't know yet, but I'm aiming to have twelve drabbles, and post them from the 13th-24th. I'm planning on using some of the prompts from the mibba holiday event, but if anyone has any prompts relating to Christmas/the holidays/winter, please leave them in...
