Young Writers Society

Hey, I'm fortis and I love writing! I really like writing poetry, but I can be found writing prose from time to time. I also like theatre, art, and the art of procrastination. I love playing video games and ultimate frisbee. I love to sing as well. I hate chemistry. I could probably live in the scene shop of my school.
I started writing for real in August 2013 and I haven't stopped since. I can usually be found either staring out a window, writing, reading, drawing, or listening to music.
I'm looking forward to making some new friends, and working on my writing skills!

Welcome, fortis!

You seem quite awesome, I'm sure you'll fit right in and enjoy your time here, and meet some great humans and other creatures

Thanks AriaAdams. I'm sure I will too. How do you post something?

I would welcome you, except your avvie terrifies me.

Heyya Fortis!How do you do? Feel free to ask me anything!

Post something, like a work? *smirks* One does not simply post something, young one..

Find a purplish-blue dragonfly by a stream. Catch it carefully, offering it a small silver pendant shaped like a clef (either one) and then lead it so it lands on the pendant, on a somewhat pointy rock facing northeast. If it doesn't come to you, it means it already did this for someone else before, in which case you should find another one. If there's no such rock around, you can arrange rocks you find to fit the description, it might still work.
The fly will show you the way to a castle. "Thou shall find your answers there," it will say, "but don't forget the dangers lurking." It will fly away then, and you make sure not to lose that pendant, just in case.
In the castle, you will find a dragon in the tallest tower, imprisoned by a princess with the most perfect traits, golden blonde hair and big eyes, as pretty as she's smart, as smart as she's rich, as rich as.. you get the picture. Do not go talk to her, even though you'll feel pulled towards the tower. Speak to the king instead, and help him solve his problems.
"My daughter Mary," he will tell you, "worries me more and more every day. She is to marry the prince Gary - who until now lived as poor yet always righteous orphan who now realised his ancestors were royals - but I fear for the future of this land. The outskirts of the kingdom are slipping away, everything in it completely undeveloped and even the prettiest woods suffer from the illness of Misdescription. Many a brave knight has failed to bring life and awesomeness to this kingdom. The luckier ones ran away - the others met a more terrible faith under the Falling Rocks of Writers Blocks. Can you be the one to change our faiths, release the dragon and help my child and her fiancé gain some depth?" The king will look desperate. "In return, the dragon will always accompany you, counting your words by your side and nudging you in the right direction, and I shall hand you the keys to the magnificent Place Where Everything is Posted."

With that, you should bow and leave the king, and spend next nine days and nine hours in a small room filled with toys, butterflies, quills and papers. It will be full of locked little chests - and as you put those quills and papers to good use, writing lines of poetry or prose, they will open one by one, releasing its wonders to the world. Shall you succeed in opening them all by the end of the ninth hour of the tenth day, you shall be shown the path to the dragon and given the keys to the Place the king mentioned.
"We have your eternal gratitude," he will say, and the dragon will curl by your side.

Be proud at that moment, young one, and step into the Publishing Centre with great confidence, ready to meet the world and others like yourself. It shall explain you all the steps towards successful posting of your works (if a bit messing with the format).

Be brave!
