Hey there! Should I call you DAN or do you have a nickname?
If you have any questions about the YWS or you can't find your way around, feel free to PM me! What are your favorite genre of books? Do you write anything other than fantasy? I have to be nosy to get to know you.  Don't forget to read the rules/faqs; they will help you a lot!
I hope you enjoy the site! And just as a note, it's usually not allowed to have all caps in thread titles, because it's annnoying and painful to the eyes. The only place we do allow it, is in literature, when it's capitalized for a purpose/artistic reasons. But it's a bit of an unwritten rule. So I'm going to go and make your title lowercase.  You'll still get a lot of welcoming love - we're a great crowd. |

Hola and welcome to YWS!! *hands out party poppers*
Ah, the rules have already been pointed out so I won't go over them again. What I will say is that if you ever need anything all you have to do is send a pm flying my way and I'll be happy to help you out as best as I can.
All the best with that fantasy novel - YWS is great for motivation and inspiration, so hopefully you'll pick up some great ideas from here.
See you around,
Alainna

Hey!
It's great that you're having a good time on YWS. We all love the new peeps, so feel free to ask any questions if you can't figure something out.
A fantasy novel, huh? You should post some chapters of that up so people can take a look. If you're already really far into it, I would suggest posting your novel in the Advanced Critiques forum. That's where people actually read every single word you post, and then tell you what they thought of it. It'll run you 500 points.
DarkAngelNight: Points? What do you mean, points?
Well, you see, Nate made up this rule: "review twice, post once." It's to prevent what most writing sites have: People posting their work, and nobody looking at it or giving them feedback. And the only feedback they're getting is, "dat wuz good. u shewd rite more." Basically, when you post a review, the largest amount of points you can get is 50. When you post a story/poem/photograph whatever, it'll run you 100 points. If you can do the math, 50 + 50 = 100. You catch my drift?
There are a lot of other places in the site too where you can get some points. Posting in this forum, for instance, can get you some points. In the writing tips forum, and pretty much all other forums that are dedicated to helping users. On the other hand, other things can run you points too. So, you see, you lose points by posting in the AC forum, posting on storybooks (if you wanna know what those are, PM me), and posting pieces of work.
If you're confused about anything I just said, or want to know a little more, just PM me and I'll be more than happy to help you.
Have fun!
