 Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2007 3:25 pm Post subject: The Buddy System |
 |

Please do not post here unless you've been accepted as a mentor. If you're not sure, send me a PM and I'll let you know.
This also applies to newbies looking for mentors. If you're looking for a mentor, read through the handy mini bios posted here, and PM anyone that's currently accepting new buddies. It's helpful if they read/review what you write, but if they just sound friendly or have other interests in common, that's cool, too. It's up to the two of you. (Please only PM one possible mentor at a time. If, for whatever reason, they say no you can PM someone else.) Once both parties are in agreement, would the mentor please edit their post to add the username of their new buddy.
"But why do I want a mentor, anyway?" I hear you ask. Well, a mentor is someone who helps you find your way around the site. It can be a confusing place to navigate. If you've got a question, just send a message to your mentor. The two of you can decide if you want to communicate via PM [private message], IM [instant messenger] or email [self explanatory].
Also, a mentor will always review any work you post during the official mentor period, which is one month, so let them know if you've posted something! They may even continue to always review your work, and it would be nice of you to review theirs!
Although the official mentoring period is a month, you may (obviously) continue to be in contact and all that jazz. The mentor program is optional, of course. You are not required to have a mentor, nor are you required to be one.
If you already know a mentor, you may opt to be their buddy if that's what the two of you want to do, or you can expand your horizons and partner up with someone new. That's cool, too!

name: Meep
age: 19
what you write: poetry, fanfic (esp. slash), short stories // gen, fantasy, steampunk (all character-based)
what you review: anything (poetry, short stories, novels-in-progress ...)
what you read: fantasy, YA
your "specialty": character & concept development, developing a voice (also: canon in fanfic)
what times you are online: random times during the day, almost always from 5-11pm (EST)
five random things about yourself:
1. This "mentor" thing was my idea.
2. I'm a sophomore in college.
3. I love play-by-post role playing games.
4. I prefer reviewing/revising to actual writing.
5. I'm currently studying Japanese!
anything you'd prefer not to read: I probably can't help much with action, and I can't read horror. (It gives me the creeps.) I also can't help with fanfics in fandoms I'm not familiar with, and would therefore prefer not to waste anyone's time in reading them. |

name: Crysi
age: 19
what you write: Poetry, fanfiction, fantasy, historical fiction, modern fiction.
what you review: Poetry, short stories, fantasy.
what you read: Modern fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, historical nonfiction.
your "specialty": Character development, dialogue.
what times you are online: Generally from 10pm (PST) to midnight or later, everynight.
five random things about yourself:
1. I'm working toward my private pilot license.
2. I've been here since the beginning.
3. I have synesthesia (Google it!), so I'm very sensitive to capital letters (so don't use capslock, please).
4. I'm an avid band geek, playing both the flute and the piccolo -- I also play piano and various other instruments outside of band, however.
5. In fact, I'm so much of a band geek that I served as a counselor at Silver Lake Band Camp this past year (and hope to continue working as a counselor in the future).
anything you'd prefer not to read: Romance. If I have to, I will, but... I'd rather not. I generally don't like to read fanfics, either, because I usually don't know what they reference. If I do, I sometimes don't agree with how certain things are portrayed... It's a touchy subject. But, again, I'll do it if I have to. |

what you read: Fantasy, science fiction, tragedies, comedy, historical fiction and occasionally books from the other genres.

1. I'm currently studying Law, English lit, History, Maths and Further Maths at college. (Now Law at university and possibly Spanish as an extra.)

4. I have a 'buddy' in real life at my college because I'm a second year Ambassador. (Or did have but I'm heading to uni now.)
5. My favourite colours are forget-me-not blue and lilac.
anything you'd prefer not to read: To be honest, I'll read anything. |

name: Colleen
age: 16 (junior in high school)
what you write: Mostly poetry.
what you review: Mostly poetry, but I'll look at short stories, essays, and art as well.
what you read: Lots of poetry. In terms of my favorite authors...basically, make a list of everyone who wrote in the last century but is dead or almost dead now. Most of my favorite writers will be on that list. I love Harry Potter to pieces, but that's the only fantasy I've really liked since I was about eight.
your "specialty": Poetry. Word choice. Sentence structure. Grammar.
what times you are online: Usually evenings (any time between 4 and 10, later on weekends) Eastern Standard Time.
five random things about yourself:
1. My left ear is missing a little bit of cartilage on the upper tip, creating the image that a weensy part of it was bitten off.
2. I'm a bowler on my school's varsity team.
3. I want to be an editor "when I grow up". I'm currently on the editorial staff of my high school's literary magazine.
4. I'm awfully attracted to shiny things.
5. I play the piano. I used to play violin and piano, but I hated the violin. Piano, on the other hand, is great. I love to play jazz and popular music.
anything you'd prefer not to read: I'm not a big fan of fanfiction or fantasy. |

-NOT ACCEPTING-
. . .
Name: Well, most everyone around here calls me Dreamy... DD works fine as well. Or you may call me Bechka, Becky, all other such variations, etc.
Age: 16
What I write: Poetry, dark fantasy, urban fantasy, surreal fantasy, historical fiction, anything really - I like to experiment with genre.
What I review: Poetry, short stories, fantasy, most fiction... again, anything, really.
What I read: Russian literature, historical fiction, historical nonfiction, poetry, literary fiction, essays.
My "specialty": Character development, description.
What times I am online: Usually in the late afternoon, early evening (GMT -5) university. Also late at night, should I get randomly insomniatic and/or have an exam to study for. ^~
Five random things about myself:
1. I'm majoring in mathematics and music performance - going to be a uni sophomore next semester!
2. My instrument, if you're wondering about the above, is piano.
3. I know some random bits of French, Italian, German and this mess of a Croatian-Ukrainian-Russian-Polish hybrid that spills out at random points in time...
4. I fence. Amateurish and poorly.
5. I have absolute and selfless affection for tea.
Anything I'd prefer not to read: I'm not very keen on sci-fi or sword-and-sorcery; I avoid them if I have half a choice in the matter. Also, fanfiction is not my forte for giving criticism and impressions. |

name: Mesh! Or Bekah, Bek, Her Royal and Supreme Highness, etc.
age: 19
what you write:I tend to stick to poetry, but I do write some fiction, but i tend to not have the patience for it. I've also been known to write fanfic (none is posted here, though). And I'm all over the place genre-wise: I'll attempt sci-fi, I've written fantasy (some attempts on YWS, though mostly pretty old), and I'm horribly long-winded about it all!
what you review: Poetry, mostly; I'll do fiction and fanfic (HP and SW and YW only), too, though I'm much out of practice with them.
what you read: Too much! I love OSC. Juliet Marillier, Jack's (firestarter) making me read Neil Gaiman, and i love it... Charles DeLint is fun, some SW, HP, a bit of historical fiction, fantasy and historical fantasy, LOTR -- that's the general idea. Oh! And I absolutely adore Diane Duane. She's amazing, basically.
your "specialty": Poetry. Poetry I can usually do something with. Usually. Poetry and then Dialogue, too (and dialogue pacing!)
what times you are online: Again, too much! College has proven to give me far too much time on my hands, most of which i should be using to study. Oh well. I'm on most waking hours of PST (pacific standard, CA-8 GMT). Summer hours: I'm more limited, since I'm working full time, but I'm usually on evenings PST, and weekends
five random things about yourself:
1. I am band geek, hear me roar. I also be a Silver Lake geek, like Crysi, only I was Crew, not Counselor. And I play clarinet
2. I am a language geek. Not exactly fluent in Spanish, picking up Italian, can insult people in Yiddish, have been/will be attempting Latin again soon, and plan on attempting Gaelic, though I'm not sure which form, yet, or when I'll have the time or how I'll manage it.
3. I work at a kids camp and am the equivalent of a camp counselor. Fear me -- I have the 8-year-olds.
4. I'm an English major who loves music, anthro, linguistics, and sticking my nose in every department at school whether they want me or not
5. I have an unhealthy affinity for sarcasm and really bad Harry Potter/Star Wars jokes/references/puns
anything you'd prefer not to read: fanfiction and romance are on a by-story basis. |

name: Kylan
age: 16
what you write: Action/Adveture short stories and novels// Poetry // Science Fiction // Other
what you review: poetry, novels from any genre other than fantasy, short stories from any genre other than fantasy. (I don't mind fantasy if it does not include the traditional elf, dwarf, dragon, bronze age set of characters. There's hust too much of that out there nowadays.)
what you read: Thrillers, suspense, classics, sci-fi
your "specialty": Action, dialogue, characters
what times you are online: 11 PM to 1 AM GMT
five random things about yourself:
1. I'm a sophmore in high school
2. I've been writing for fun since age 6 (I absolutely adore writing)
3. I am an avid photographer.
4. I'd like to be a lawyer or writer when I grow up. Depends on which I'm best at.
5. I speak some french. Bienvenue mon ami!
anything you'd prefer not to read: Traditional Fantasy. It's so cliche. If you think you've got an original traditional fantasy story, let me have a look at it. Otherwise, I'll read and critique anything. |

Name: Call me anything! Saint, Razorblade, Razor, Captain Razor, any derivative works. 
Age: 14 years, 9 months, and 24 days. Not that I'm counting. xD
What you write: Mostly realistic fiction, although I have fiddled with fantasy fiction in the past. I really enjoy short stories.
What you review: Just about anything, although don't expect a decent review for photography and poetry.
What you read: Anything that catches my eye- mostly George Orwell novels, but I'll read almost anything good.
Your "specialty": I'm really good with dialogue. Usually I can be pretty good with description, too, but dialogue is definitely my strongest field.
What times you are online: Pretty much all the time except between 7 a.m. and 2.30 p.m. MST on weekdays. I'm a YWS addict, what can I say?
Five random things about yourself:
-I have more pet peeves than I can count, which don't mix well with my OCD. A lot is two words, kids!
-I tend to be a bit too brutally honest and nice for my own good. As in, if I think something you wrote sucks, I'll tell you it sucks. But I'll also say why. So be prepared for some brutal critiques.
-I'm very sarcastic. It does take some getting used to, and can occasionally be interpreted as something mean, especially through the Internet. Keep in mind that if I like you, you'll know, and any mean remarks are most likely sarcasm. If you're confused, just double-check with me.
-I am a grammar nazi. Period. Get used to it, and get used to it fast.
-If there's ever a pirate trivia game show, I will so totally whoop everyone else's rear end. A pirate's life for me.
Anything you'd prefer not to read: Keep the slash away from me. Not that I'm homophobic, but reading about two characters in a book or story I like doing something like that gives me the willies. If they were meant to do that, the author would portray them doing that. And I'm not the biggest fan of fanfiction, but I'll read it. It's interesting to see how people interpret these things. |

name: I have a rather large list of nicknames. Call me what ever you would like! Or Till works.
age: Seventeen
what you write: Historical fiction, poetry, short stories, longer stories. Things like that.
what you review: Almost anything! I'm very good with poetry, and even better with short stories. I do struggle with fantasy and sci-fi, though I can survive it
what you read: Dostoevsky, Wilde, Nabokov, Rice, Waugh, and many other things! I really love Russian lit.
your "specialty": People say I am good with dialogue? I am good with punctuation in poetry, too. Imagery is fun. I can't really pick a specialty, because honestly if you say, "I need help with this" I could probably find a way to help you, hahah.
what times you are online: I am in the USA central time zone, and I get home from school at 3-ish. I'm usually on as much as possible on school nights, and a lot on the weekends. I can be rather OCD, so if you Pm me, I'll reply as soon as possible.
five random things about yourself: I love languages (I'm rather fluent in French, and I'm learning German, and slowly learning Russian), WWII is an interesting time in history and I love learning about it, I am a nerd with many things, including Chemistry and linguistics, I am a complete rule nazi, I love helping people with writing as much as possible. Ah, that was six... oh well.
anything you'd prefer not to read: Fanfiction, Fantasy, Sci-fi, Romance. (Romance: only if it is only about romance--I don't mind love interests/stories!) |

Name: *taps nametag* Sam! Not a whole lot of room for creativity there....
Age: 14
What You Write: Strange Fiction (Anything, really, besides high fantasy.)
What You Review: Same as what I write. Everything, besides high fantasy and poetry.
What You Read: A mix of old and new- Johnathan Safran Foer is my current favorite, as well as Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
Your Specialty: More abstract ideas- character development, avoiding clichè, appealing to readers, creating 'feeling' and emotion. I don't really have a preference. ^_~
What Times You Are Online: I'm in the Central US timezone, and I'm usually on from about 10:30 to midnight on weeknights, or 9:00 onward on weekends. It varies- and I do check email/YWS a lot- so I'll be sure to get in touch with you, night owl tendencies or not.
Five Random Things About Yourself:
1. I'm in both Japanese and German language classes.
2. I'm a marching band geek- alto saxophone.
3. I'm a rabid Decemberists fan.
4. I live at school. Seriously, I pull up a sleeping bag on stage...(Nein, I'm just there until late most nights. I'm a theatre techie and I do speech and debate.)
5. I'm addicted to YWS- and NaNoWriMo, year-round. XD Essentially, I'm a nerd among nerds.
Anything You'd Prefer Not To Read: There are a few things I don't know anything about- poetry, is a huge one- and a few things I do, but it would bring out the mean side of me because I simply don't like it. High fantasy (basically, if your story has elves) and fanfiction are those two things. I could still critique for you, but I wouldn't be as excited about it. |

Name: You can call me wither DX or King of All that Exists in This Pathetic, Tiny World. Either one works.
Age: 13
What You Write: Mostly fantasy, some sci-fi, as well as songs.
What You Review: Fiction or songs.
What You Read: I usually read the blurb on the back, and if I become engaged, I know it's a good book and read it. I typically read fantasy and sci-fi. My favorite authors are Charles Dickens, Erin Hunter, and Ray Comfort.
Your "Specialty": I am an expert in grammer, so if there is a problem there, I'll catch it. Style-wise, I'm best at dialouge and character development. I'm also decent with description.
What Times You Are Online: Eastern Standard time zone. In the summer, I can usually always be available. In the school year, I'm not on as often, but I'm usually pretty active here.
Five Random Things About Yourself:
1) I'm taking Algebra in 7th grade.
2) I want to be an actor.
3) I can type over 60 words a minute if I want to. I uusally mkae qiute a few pselling errosr thouhg.
4) I actually didn't make any errors in the last sentence. I did that for "comedic effect".
5) I have abusive sibilings.
6) That last one was a joke. They are pretty mean, though.
Whoops. That was 6.
Anything You'd Prefer Not To Read: I can't stand romance. I prefer not reading any sort of poetry, but if you want me to, I will. Chances are, I won't be very helpful though. I'm not a huge fan of fanfiction, teen ficton, or historical fiction, but I will read it. |

Name: Monki, Gremlin, Gremlinita, Melissa, Mel-Mel, Mely, Missa, Missy. Any of those generally work. ^ ^
Age: 14 years, 9 months, 8 days, 11 hours, 19 minutes, and 9 seconds--but who's counting? XD Me!!!
What You Write: Poetry, Romance, Historical Fiction, Lyrics. Those sorts. 
What You Review: Anything except fantasy. Yuck. It's not that I don't like it... I'm just a bad reviewer of fantasy.
What You Read: Hm... basically the same genres as what I read and write. I absolutely adore romance anything - anything romance! That's definitely my favorite. But, I also read books like Into the Wild. It's non-fiction, so I don't just read fiction. Some exceptional books - in my opinion - are: The Rules of Survival, The Messenger, You Don't Know Me, The Book Thief, Devilish, I Don't Want to Be Crazy, and The Giver - just to name a few.
Your "Specialty": I don't exactly have one specialty. I have a package deal. It includes: Grammar, Spelling, Punctuation; Flow; Practicality; Emotion/Mood; Dialogue; Character Development; Description; Setting; Imagery; Focus; Cliche' Avoidance.
What Times You Are Online: Erm... it varies. My usual routine (when I'm not working) is from 10:30PM-3:00AM (-6 GMT) on weekends (Friday and Saturday nights). Normally, I can't stay up that late on weekdays because I have to wake up at 5:00AM to go to work. :p But, I'm normally on everyday, at varying times.
Five Random Things About Yourself:
1. I sleep in the clothes I'm going to wear the next day.
2. When I listen to music, no matter what kind, I feel like crying because I am an emotional train wreck - I can relate to any song in some way.
3. I live for my best friends, Sarah, Mily, Mandy, and Dolly. Without them, I swear to you, I would die.
4. I'm unhealthily obsessed with monkeys, dogs, giraffes, and ducks. XD
5. Although I'm spoiled and love, love, love Hollister, 5-7-9, Aeropostale, Abercrombie, and American Eagle, I admit to liking the Flea Market/Swap Shop also... You find such good deals on sunglasses and purses there! (I refuse to buy clothes from there though - they could be used! No offense to anyone who does though...)
Anything You'd Prefer Not To Read: I'll read anything. Simple as that. |

Name: alwaysawriter, always, al, writer, aw, Alas, Kat--I'm fine with anything.
Age: 14
What You Write: Realistic fiction, generally with romance in it.
What You Review: I stay between romantic fiction and other fiction, although I will veer out into other genres or poetry, if asked.
What You Read: Everything, when I have the chance, although I'm twenty times more reluctant to pick up a book with fantasy in it.
Your "Specialty": Grammar. Unless I'm completly out of it (distracted or sleepy), I'll be the one to notice if you missed a letter off a word or didn't put a space where it needs to be. As for everything else, I'm considering them a work in progress, because I want to work on developing those skills more.
What Times You Are Online: It varies but no later than 9 PM (Eastern) on weekdays. You'll probably catch me on around 5:30 am til 6:45 am and most of the day during weekends.
Five Random Things About Yourself:
1. I was just named Instructor of the Month.
2. I'm taking a class where I have to build things, am the only girl, and am going to completly fail after he grades our current project.
3. I'm addicted to the Sims.
4. Homework is the work of devils, especially on the weekends.
5. I once searched online for writing tips so much when I was ten that I didn't even hear about them til I was twelve or thirteen during school.
Anything You'd Prefer Not To Read: Fantasy and fanfics. I don't even bother to try to keep up with anime. I'll try fantasy, as I've been trying to get back into it for a while, but don't expect fantastic reviews. |
