About MeMy Movellas - My Mumbles - Favourites

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.
    Rohini NHi. Jordan, I recently published a movella titled-Murders. It's a small sequence (of a screenplay). Would you mind taking a look at it? I am looking for some ideas and I want to conclude the script soon. It'd be nice if you shared your opinion about it. Thank you.

    Uncle Mitchy KayIt's neat, can you implement settings for notifications you get by e-mail and then notifications you get on Movellas? So like you might only want to know if there's a new chapter for a book on Movellas and not your e-mail. Something like that at least would be exceptionally nice.
    Uncle Mitchy KayOh and did you get my reply for the StoryGames/ choicescript?
    LoveOfTheMusicHello Jordan! First of all, love the new notifications added to the site! Makes life so much easier! Well done :D Second, could you please check out my Movellas, maybe the first chapter or so and give me some ideas on how I can improve it? Thanks! xx

  • 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.
    Look at you, Pikachu!Hi ! 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!

    babsieHi jordan, A few months ago around christmas I won the video part of the the justin beiber fan fiction contest. The prize was an itunes card and a book. I emailed you all my details and the prize has not came to me yet. I waited a few months and I still don't have the prize. I get that you had that 25 days of short competions and you were sending those prizes out but I was just wondering why I haven't got it yet
    MrsHoran1117Hello:) I was hoping you could read my story, 'Adopted By Simon Cowell'? It would mean a lot! Thanks(: If you don't have time, it's ok! Have an awesome day!
    The MarshallJordan, it says I've won first in the world book day contest, so am I with the overall three winners? If so, will I get a prize and will the other two get a prize as well? Will we receive an email confirming this?
    The MarshallI'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.

  • Quick update

    Jordan PhilipsAnother week has flown by... and another week of ideas and creation at Movellas HQ. Stuff you might be VERY interested in and will be on the site in the next few days include:

    1) New safety features based on your age.
    2) The second round of the branching contest is up and running - due to the good feedback we are thinking of making this something that everyone on Movellas can do, making it easier to create your own branching stories. What do you think?
    3) Images will be coming to your movellas very VERY soon... can't wait to see lots of drawings and pictures of characters, settings and scenes!
    4) Still working on a historical fic contest and a gaming fan fic contest.

    As ever, email me at jordan@movellas.com with any feedback or questions.

    T.ByrneHey Jordan, a while ago, I tried to change my profile pic, but it said I had to be 13! So I tried changing it back to my old pic, and got the same result! Wat's up?! : (
    bobsicleIf there are safety features based on your age, then why doesn't it let me hide my age on my profile to keep 'safe'? The 'hide birthdate' thing doesn't save. :P
    Ariadne WightHey, I'm just wondering how to put a cover on my movellas? I've tried, but it never works... :( *sad face*
