Young Writers Society

Man, it's been ages. I frequented TYWC heavily for a couple of years, but haven't been involved with anything there (save some sporading story posting on a couple of occasions) for a few years. I guess Nate has had this place set up for a while - I was poking through the chatwall and came across a link here.

I don't know how much I'll be posting here, as my courseload this term is quite heavy and I have other forum obligations (I'm a moderator at Gamespot's insanely busy forums). I'll try to get some stories up, although any creative spark I may have had five years ago is quite extinguished at the moment. Regardless, there should be something there to tap.

I go as DJ_Lae on Gamespot, and most of my posting is done in the user board The Virtual Underground.

A brief bit about me: I'm a 23-year-old guy living in Victoria and taking Economics at the University of Victoria. I'm staying near the quiet Oak Bay area in an apartment with my girlfriend of ~1.5 years and our remarkably crazy cat. I used to be an extremely prolific writer (though I would debate the quality of said work) until res, when everything just sort of slowed down in terms of writing. I get lots of ideas and I have many pages full of notes for stories and characters, but whenever I sit down to actually write something...I just can't. I'm still not used to it after what I could do so easily only five years ago. Oh well.

Anyway, glad to be here. How many others are from TYWC too?

A lot of people. There's at least three topics in the Lounge where people b**** about it. NO RIP TYWC is the only one that's recent.

Anyway, welcome. Here's your gift:

I'm from TYWC, known as "Tolkien is my Idol."

You may or may not remember me.

I remember you.
Gamespot? Wow, you must be busy. Well, just relax (or get your anger out in Debate) here and have a good time.

Welcome!

Hey Erik!

Good to see more TYWC'ers here; Darkangel just signed up the other day as well, and Midnight, Myriadne (Starlight) and faith have been around here for a while (just listing off the names of members who were active back in 2000-2001). YWS has been open for almost four months now, so I guess nobody has been here for a long time quite yet.

Regarding writing, it's been the same with me lately too; I just can't write anymore. I still manage to do some, but it's harder than it used to be.

I was from TYWC, i still visit once a day. I visit about 5 times a day on average here, more people from my time zone.

Welcome to YWS! i'm also from TYWC, i'm Little Vampire.
Hope you like it here

And no one remember Katseyes? Proberly not, welcome anyway!

TYWC, of course, and I remember most of the older members. Same name...Zephyr.

welcome...lots of people from TYWC..i never was a member, but this board is awesome...

I was fron TYWC, under the same username actually. I really like it there, though this place is more alive.

I thought it was awful how those people nagged about how terrible TYWC was in those other forums.
