Young Writers Society

*sighs*
I met many great people here
I got lots of help
People... appreciated my work, and I appreciated them
... *sighs*
there is so much left unsaid,
I met my boyfriend here
My friends joined...
My dad couldn't argue with me to g3t off if I said that I was writing... now... it's all gone
Now I have... virtually no online community what..so..ever

--Elizabeth Mathers

I met tons of awesome writers who were great people in their own rights.

I had hilarious chat conversations.

I learned how to write... well better anyway.

I read wonderful stories.

I made friends.

I read blogs.

And I figured out what I'm going to name my daughter (Kyra Snoink).

I had alot of fun...

I met Emma... Nuff said...
Started a couple of decayed groups
Became the new male cam whore for a short while...
Saw people mature (in looks, not always mentally )

*sighs* Meh.

"you're the simon cowell of the YWS" will always remain my fondest memory.

Apart from that, there's a whole ton but you all know already.

See you the the Temp, until we all meet again.

I've made some good freinds here

have been able to read other's writing and learn different styles

have been able to just be me



Alas, the mysterious SPEW still eludes me.


GO MARINES!!! OOOH RAH!!!!

Brad and the stapler. ah, good times on the old chat.

Question game. oh lord.. and I only had the tail end of it..

"you're the simon cowell of the YWS" will always remain my fondest memory.

Well, you still remember when I said that, huh? LOL! I for got all about that.
Even though it has been a long time since I have been on it is heart breaking to hear that the YWS is being shut down.
This is the place where I drastically improved my skills. It is all thanks to the people who critiqued my stories in the past.
If it wasn't for the YWS I wouldn't be the writer I am today. Thank you YWS thank you Nate and thank you everybody else.

Well... I met you, Liz! And everyone else.

-Becoming a VIP.
-I learned that I loved blogging!
-SPEW
-The community here has been incredeble. I love EVERYONE!

Uh...All of it?

Fondest memory? Hm, that would have to be the time Snoink thought I was a guy. That was pretty pivotal in my time spent here. Also, PsyLynx (or however you spell it) and his five other screen names. That was pretty intense.


Aaand. (This will sound sappy:) Watching all you guys evolve, not only as writers, but as people. It's been awesome.

Fondest memory?

Hmmm...

I did like the never-ending debates with Snoink on stories, primarly in the fanfic forum, when I totally crushed her vision of Roman from Smaur's Wraith. She thought Roman was good-looking and I had a whole different POV on that one, thus the Great Debate began by Snoink and me. It's stilll posted with the title, "Into the Mind," if anyone anyone wants to see/read the fun!

When I first joined...
I was a little lost, and slowly but surely I started to evolve back into the writer I once was and improved beyond that by leaps and bounds from great critiques and patience from great people on this forum. Slowly, I stepped out of my eggshell, and I started remembering my old editing days, and the reviews started. Shortly after that, I sought further improvement and joined the mysterious SPEW. SPEW encouraged and helped me to further critique and more importantly - don't hold back.

Becoming a VIP and the shock of it all at 8AM without precious caffeine or breakfast, lol.

That damn laggy forum, lol. It was the most annoying chatroom I've ever been in, but at the same time I had the most outragious conversations in there, much less meeting some cool people.

Bah... I was wrong about one thing. This wasn't my last long-winded ranmble on the forum, not yet anyway.

Many thanks to Nate, the Mods (who were the best ones I've ever met on any forum by the way!), Jack, and the rest of the community. It was a blast, and will look foreward to coming back in the future.

Logging in one day and seeing this note on a writing site:

Was I the only one that noticed? It was so funny! I'm glad it's still there, it cheers me up every time I see it.
