 Age: 15 Gender: Female Posts: 90 | July 13th, 2008 at 08:11pm Everybody has their favorite Mibba author, and every mibba author has readers- but how on earth does sombody get readers in the first place? How do you make yourself known?
How does a person, from being a reader, get to be a favorite author of somebody else?
Anytips, avice, or thoughts on this any one? |

 Age: 17 Gender: Female Posts: 829 | July 13th, 2008 at 08:24pm Erm... post here and beg for readers. :s
I want readers people. READ!
How about just posting everywhere, that'd get people to notice you, make some friends and then ask them to check your stuff out.
Or you could post on other stories give them some advice and usually they check your stuff out in return. Nobody's actually done that for me but one can hope  |

 Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 1308 | July 14th, 2008 at 12:08am If you want people to read your stuff, go to the Pimping And Reccing thread. It's in the On Writing forum. 
If you want to stand out, I'd say WAYT is your best friend.  |

 Age: 21 Gender: Female Posts: 18002 | July 14th, 2008 at 12:57am The Story/Review game is a good writing tool as well (Off-Topic forum).
You have to give a decent review, but the ones you get in return are outstanding. |

 Age: 14 Gender: Female Posts: 12075 | July 14th, 2008 at 02:15am I would say go on the forums and such.
Do what Dru said - the story review game is ace. Like I've gotten some amazing reviews from there and some of them have also had concrit.
I think what helps is you gotta get out there. Like talk to people on journals or chat or forums. Tell them to read your story then they might tell their friends. |

Also, talk to people in WAYT, they generally will go read, especially if they're your friends. |

 Age: 14 Gender: Female Posts: 862 | July 14th, 2008 at 09:35pm Update as much as possible. I found out the hard way you lose readers the longer you wait. Pimp/Rec thread helps. Oh, and the character development game helps! If your charcter sounds interesting, people will want to see them in action. |

 Age: 22 Gender: Male Posts: 882 | July 15th, 2008 at 08:31am Bring some kind of thing presence to the borads. If you seem kind, more people are likley to talk to you and that will make you stand out. Add spice to your posts. Make it seem like the real you; not a robot. |

 Age: 16 Gender: Female Posts: 3018 | July 15th, 2008 at 11:13am Writing amazing stories helps too.

Or if you want to ''stand out'' just try to write your own stories. Just write how you feel and don't try to copy what others do. |

 Age: 14 Gender: Female Posts: 2703 | July 15th, 2008 at 11:53am Uh huh.
I don't think its just about writing well.
You can write well but no one would be interested to read it because its so...
you don't interest them.
You have to pique people's interest.
Like Dana said, spice up your post.
Show people who you are
Not who they want to see. |
