Storybirds are a great way of getting students writing but there is a hitch – they only allow Storybirds written in English to be made public as they cannot check foreign language stories for inappropriate language.  However, you can share them and get a URL so that friends can read them.  Hopefully this one works!  I have written these two stories for my students to read and because I asked them to write their own stories.  We have shared those on our school classroom pages but so far they are reluctant for them to be made available to the wider world!
