This week, May 20th-May 26th, is battalions Appreciation Week!She is one of our fantastic Board Moderators, and does a lot of work in her role! She's all over the boards every day, checking to make sure that people understand the right things, are being nice to one another and not posting things they shouldn't! Not only that, but she takes the time to zip into our Staff Thread and inform us of all...

There are 2 Board Moderators, 9 Story Editors, 2 Poem Editors, 2 Article Editors, and 4 Blog Moderators for a total of 19 staff members (and that's not even including the Mibba Magazine Staff!). What you don't realize about all of these 19+ staff members is that we all go to the admins with any issues we have and rely on them unconditionally to keep us going. At one time, we only had Audrey to go...

Book, story, or novel? In the real world, they're basically the same thing. But here on Mibba, Books and Stories are two drastically different concepts. One includes you writing, the other includes you reading. Lets put this into perspective...Some Things to Know About Books:1. Books are published books that you can buy in a store, not an original work of fiction written by you. Unless you have...

Being a 6 year veteran of Mibba, even I was a bit surprised to read my job description upon first becoming a staff. What do you mean you're not allowed to do this or that in a story? What do you mean by "you can't promote a different story in your author's note"? How many authors notes have I written that are technically "illegal"? So, here's a list of things that surprised me a bit upon reading...

I actually started off my internet writing as a co-author, so the moment I decided to slip into solo writing, I knew the process had to be different. Co-writing is my niche. It's so much easier to do because when I run out of ideas, my co-author can either 1) tell me what to write, or 2) write a chapter themselves. Their writing then inspires me, and a chapter can be produced. Because it's so...

Let's face it, writing is hard. Most of the time I have no idea why I love it so much. Reading is so much easier. All you have to do is sit down and let your brain process someone else's work of genius. But that's just it, isn't it? You want to write your own work of genius. And you want your work of genius to inspire someone else to write their own as well. Writers are selfish creatures, but...

It's natural to be defensive when something is taken away from you and something new is granted. The new thing isn't meeting your expectations because you aren't used to it, you have to figure things out all over again and everything is just so...weird. But, lets face it, just because it's new, doesn't mean it's the worst thing on the planet.Some of the things that people are complaining...

In fact, you should probably get the hell away from us. Everybody. Not just the people we date, but everybody. And quickly before we sink our teeth into you and drain you of everything that's made you pure and good.See, the things that make us good writers? They make us awful people.1. We Can Work From Anywhere:So, you might want to pass on that whole sight-seeing thing while you're on vacation.2....

Whenever I look at published writers, I see someone who is nothing like myself. They have written wonderful books (and finished them!), they have blogs that hundreds of people read and care about. And I have half written, half abandoned novels in the making that have so many mistakes and need too many revisions that I don't think I'll EVER publish a book. However, taking a look at other aspiring...

As an author/reader, there are some things that other authors do that I find ridiculous, redundant, pointless or just plain stupid. Some of these things I am guilty of (to an extent), so if you do some of these things, don't worry, you're not alone :)1. No description: As a reader, I know that once I click on that story and there's no description to tell me what it's about, I'm not giving the...
