Young Writers Society

Well, hello all!

It's Alana, but I do respond to almost all derivatives (most commonly Lane) and pretty much everything else, many of which probably wouldn't be appropriate to post. So I shan't.

I do write; surprising, I know. I've been writing (or "writing" anyway) for some time-- mostly realistic fiction, and/or YA- though nothing Sweet Valley-esque, I [s]hope[/s] promise! I dabble in historical, and that's just about it. I do enjoy reading some poetry (Eliot and some of Hardy's works come to mind, as well as some of the Romantics), but I stay strictly away from poetry as far as my penning it.

I do beta/critique/whatever you may call it, and I have a fair grasp as far as grammar, usage, and other technical aspects go. I'm not quite as strong on things like [staying in] character, plot development, and such. And oh my god, TITLES. I fail at titles. So hopefully, it'll be a mutual exchange!

So! This website appears to move along quite quickly, which is always nice to see. I can't think of anything else, but if you've read this far, cookies to you.

KTHXBYE


P.S. I totally forgot to mention. I love the sudoku. Huge, huge commendations.

Hey there, and welcome to YWS!

Obligatory introduction? I don't think so. I never made a welcome post, anyway. No gold stars for me. XD

PM me if you have any questions, and enjoy yourself!

Hello there - I didnt make one either, well I did but when I had about 100 posts lol.

*eats cookies*

Welcome! I'm like... the head of a critiquing group called SPEW and stuff, so be afraid! Maybe we'll abduct you... or something.

Obligatory?

Don't feel like you owe us anything... yet!
If you feel you are morally indebted to us now just you wait. XD

Welcome, PM me or my E-mail is on display.

*glee* A new member who can use words like "obligatory" and "derivative" properly... oh, this is going to be a good day. Welcome, Lane, and if you need anything, I'm always up for a good PM! I'm looking forward to seeing what you can offer to YWS.

Sir Fand of the Crusades

Thanks, everyone!

I've been on boards where they'd throw a fit if a new member didn't make an intro post ("OMGWTF YOU FAIL AT LIFE AND THE INTERNET GO AWAY NOW" type of thing). So, I figured I'd play safe.

Any reference to the Harry Potter group?

Welcome to YWS!
I was happy to see someone post a welcome message with the title not being "Hey, i'm new." And you have a good grasp of grammar and punctuation!! *Happy dance* Again, I say: Welcome to YWS!
PM me if you want to chat, okay? I write fantasy mostly, but I love talking to all writers.
Cheers! ~Shafter

Hey welcome to YWS! Obligatory??? Wow. That is something new to see. Don't hesitate to PM me about anything. See you around the site!!

WELCOME! TO YWS!

sorry, hyper... hee hee

Yay! Another Sudoku lover! Hurrah! WELCOME to YWS!

Hello, my name is Lucy. Welcome to YWS!! You are going to meet a lot of new people here. I look forward to getting to know you better, and have fun!


Lucy

Welcome welcome. If you have any question, feel free to ask.

*glee* A new member who can use words like "obligatory" and "derivative" properly... oh, this is going to be a good day.

Fand, you make me giggle. You Comma Cow.


Welcome And thanks for that critique you gave me on John Smith getting to work earlier, are we?

SPEW? Have anything to do with Harry Potter?

Nothing and everything. You'll see.

Anyway, even your welcome message impressed me, lol. I like your choice of words (although I must say I shuddered ever so slightly at the word "derivative." I think I've been permanently scarred by calculus...), and I can't wait to see some of your work.

Have fun, and if you have any questions, feel free to PM any of the mods! We don't bite. Hard. I promise.
