I am the new UK editor for Movellas. Having been working in publishing and creative writing for the past few years, I am really looking forward to reading all your exciting Movellas (and hopefully offering some helpful feedback). I am a short story writer and am currently trying to finish a novel. Feel free to ask me to have a look at your work and I will try and leave something useful for you to think about.

  • Notifications!

    Jordan PhilipsYou might have noticed a little change to movellas this morning... in the form of a little number appearing at the top of your screen! No longer will you receive hundreds of emails from Movellas... no longer will you lose track of who is replying to your comments or what stories have been updated... we have built notifications into Movellas!

    It might still need a few tweaks and improvements here and there, so please let me know if you have any feedback on how it works or looks. Thank you.
    KarateBoneshow do you write a new movellas?
    Uncle Mitchy KayIt used to be a lot easier but since movellas updated their site... go to 'Me' on the bright green bar (at the top of the page) and a slide should pop down with a list of options. Choose- "New Movella" and then you'll be taken to your new Movella's editing screen. Which if you need help with that too, just ask me.
    KarateBonesNo. Its okay I got it. Thank you!!!
    Uncle Mitchy KayAll right, you're welcome
  • Update!

    Jordan PhilipsHi Movellians,

    It has been a while since I mumbled an update from Movellas HQ. So much exciting stuff going on here... not only has the reaction to the historical fiction and afterlife contest been great, there are three more contests for the next month that I'm really looking forward to sharing with you!

    As well as this, we have a great intern helping us at the moment. She is particularly good at offering good constructive criticism and is keen reader and editor. Say hi to her, her movellas name is purpletwaddle

    Lastly, we are working to make massive improvements to the notification system on Movellas... we know lots of you are fed up of all the emails Movellas sends you. Hopefully this won't be too far away!

    Ciao,

    Jordan
    E.H.WeaverHey its TaylorLilyz. Had to close my account down :( Ah well, would you check out my movellas and possibly fan if you Like :)
    Ariadne WightHey, I just wanted to ask, is there ever going to be a contest without a word limit? I mean, all of the interesting prompts have limits, and only the borring ones are open. Personally, I write really, really long stories (Like, 30,000 words long), and I'm sick of trying to cut them down to size for contests. I cannot possibly hope to write a story complex and in-depth enough to win a contest (let alone captivate an audience) in only 4,000 words. So please, please, please make an open contest with an interesting prompt (not historical fiction or realism, preferrably), and NO WORD LIMIT!

    *thank you*
  • Any awesome writers?

    Jordan PhilipsMovellians!

    As always, I need your help. I'm looking for a crack team of writers who are up for being involved in a super secret writing experiment over the next couple of weeks. It would help if you had a TINY bit of computer programming knowledge or were not afraid of HTML. Even more than that, it would be great if you liked gaming, role play or Choose Your Own Adventure books.

    Email me at jordan@movellas with the headline "I'm Awesome" and we can start putting together our team. If you think you know someone who could be part of this process, then let them know. Can not wait to hear from people.
    Plutopartay1Hi ! Is there any space left?
    DownWith1DDo you know when the Spring Picture Prompt competition will be judged?
    Sixth Legion VictrixFor the Afterlife contest, can we do a fanfic? (Not the 1D kind) Because I had an idea for a Les Mis/Greek myth crossover!
    cassidynmcWhen will the runner ups from the Sci-fi comp be announced?
  • Safety

    Jordan PhilipsHi. You might have all noticed that there are some new safety and age based features on Movellas as of the weekend. If you are over 16, you might not have noticed anything. I just wanted to take a moment to update you on them:

    1) You now have to declare your age on signing up to Movellas and you be over 13 to enter your birthdate - this is in line with our terms and conditions.
    2) Red stories have always been 16+, but now the age on your profile has to be 16+ for you to access or write a red story.
    3) You also have to be logged in to read a red story. Again, this is in line with our terms and ratings.
    4) If you are 16, you might have been experiencing some difficulties accessing red stories - this is not correct and we are looking to fix it ASAP.

    Please feel free to ask me any questions or give any feedback here or via email (jordan@movellas.com).

    Thanks and have a great day!

    Jordan
    Deus Ex: Human RevolutionI'm experincing problems with editing chapters, when I go on it, it all is expanded, and then I press edit, it just goes oops, unexpected error happing.
    Jzack I think your idea is brilliant, Zhuge. Keep going. PS. Read my work, My Pet Pony. I have so many fans, namely Choochuu.
    Deus Ex: Human RevolutionMy idea? What Idea? I'll check it out when I have the time.
    Fantasy DreamYou're that guy that says I start fights! IT IS OVER. Just 1 person isn't going away. Soooo annoying :/ ! Everything is fine and I DO know the safety rules. I didn't come on to here to fight. Why would I fight on here when there's the real world to fight with you. Not that I enjoy fighting. It is just pointless. I get that you're concerned but aren't you meant to just be the editor of movellas? Cuz you keep on telling me that I need to stop fighting. I HAVE! PLEASE let me handle this myself because I am not a kid or teen and I know what I am doing. Thanks... :/
