You may post anything you like: shout-outs to specific people, stories or poems you really liked, what you read this year, pictures, favorite quote, etc. However, you may make only one post! Although you can edit that one post as much as you like.


Grab your spots, sit back, and enjoy the memories <3 What an amazing year, everyone! And to those who are new with us, join in! You will look back upon it next year and smile.

Even though I sometimes think I am outgrowing this place, I always find myself drawn back here. Even if I'm just lurking, watching what's going on and not participating much, I still love coming back here.

Everyone on this site is awesome and I know you'll all stay that way <3

Let's do some shout-outs -

@Sachiko @Lauren2010 @StellaThomas @RachaelElg - You ladies are very special to me. I wouldn't have written half as much this year without you guys and your encouragement. I love all of the worlds we've created and I love having such a talented group of ladies around me for support. I know we'll continue misbehaving in 2014 <3

@Demeter - Probably the best friend I've made on YWS. Somehow you never tire of talking to me and you never stop making me laugh. You're always there for me and I'm glad :)

@Cadi - *spills love on forever* You're nearly as amazing as me ;)

@Charlie II - I hope your dream of making a flute from a trolley will come true in 2014

@Meshugenah - You continue to help me hone my skill at insulting short people. Truly invaluable.

@PenguinAttack - ILU PINGU

@reason - I love our little chats.

@Blues - *pushes down stairs*

@Baal - BOB! (worst lil bro ever)

@ArcticMonkey - Music soulmate <3

@Mira - Possibly the loveliest person I have ever met. You never fail to make me smile.

@Adnamarine - Glad you're back around :)

@AngerManagement - *Squeezes with all the cuddles* I know you love them.

@Hannah - Hope you come back soon!

@Tenyo - Teeeeeeeny! Go to bed! You're too little to stay up this late!

@Auxiira - You're such a little sweety <3

@blimeylimey217 - You remind me that new friends can always be made on YWS.

Admittedly I had to go through my list to remember all the names (old age you know) and I realised that there are so many people on YWS that I love to bits that don't haunt this place as much. I won't list them all but I miss you guys and hope you pop up again soon!

Also, @Nate you're okay too.

See you all in 2014 <3

*Ich auch*

I know that if I started listing off all the members I want to talk about, I'll never finish. So let's just say that they know who they are.
Thanks for tolerating my presence, however crazy, angsty, whiny or boring it might be. I won't let it burden you any longer. Stay well. c:

I will always remember a simple poem that I loved. It's short and so powerful. I know people don't like haikus much, but this one was a winner. Check it out!

This is the year I entered YWS, so thank you to all the people who befriended me, helped me out by reviewing my pieces, and joined me to storybook. Too many to list here, that's for sure:)

I've been sort of slipping this year, but I can feel myself crawling back now that it's getting later in 2013... and hopefully I'll go back green soon! :D

@Charlie II continues being the best thing that's happened to me!

@beckiw is one of my best friends and I got to meet her for the fourth (?) time just a few weeks ago, which I think is pretty great. Even though she wouldn't have her picture taken...

@StellaThomas is such an amazing, hard-working doctor-to-be who I always have such fun with, even if we have both been busy and haven't been talking for a while. Sometimes there just are moments when you think "Omg, I have to tell Stella!"

@Cadi I got to meet for the first time and have now met her twice! The first time I was super nervous and dazzled by her wonderful hair, and the second time I was less nervous and dazzled by her smart evening wear! She is just dazzling! Also I'm not sure why she skipped a year in her own Yearbook post and wished everyone a happy 2015...

@Adnamarine I miss you.

@Elinor%20Brynn it's nice to discuss theatre stuff with you, and remember to believe in yourself!

@Meshugenah *bites*

@PenguinAttack <#

@Rydia and @Twit be careful.


I also turned 21, which I think is super weird considering I joined YWS when I was 15!

I know I keep mentioning the same people year after year after year, but I think it's a gorgeous sign of the fact that I've made some amazing life-long friends and connections here on YWS. And I'll never be able to thank @Nate enough for that.

I don't think I'll be able to do this later, so I'll just do it now (:

I only joined this year and it feels like home already <3

Here are three of my favorite memories from this year:

#3:
When I woke up one fine morning to find 14 pages of spam on my wall (: @thewritersdream @VeerenVKS

#2:
When @Blackwood asked me to design @Carina's wedding cake xD And it was a huge flop thanks to my lack of photoshopping skills xD

#1:
Spoiler! :

@Paige @thewritersdream @VeerenVKS

And everybody else! <3 <3

Spoiler! :
Alright, I guess I'll start on this now. I'll likely edit it later, as I remember more people.


I'm assigning you all smiley faces, that sum up our relationship the best...

@megsug for just being incredible. You have put up with so many bad jokes, and have listened to so many rants and mini meltdowns. Thank you for always being there for me, whether I needed a shoulder to cry on, or someone to vent to. You're a doll, and totally deserve your green. Congrats, btw <3 Oh, and your smiley would definite have to be: :backtotopic:

@Payne for also being such an awesome sister to me. You've also listened to a lot of crap, and talked me through many hard times. Thank you for being my light, and source of strength, when I didn't think my life would ever get better. You're seriously awesome. <3 I give you a stick, and permission to whack me with it occasionally, haha! :smt075

@VeerenVKS for always being able to make me laugh, and never minding when I needed let off some steam. You've brought a smile to my face many times when I was literally in tears more times than you know. Thank you for being there for me. <3 ...even if you do create some of the most annoying SB characters in the history of SBs. Lordie will fall. That throne is mine. Also, post Creyo. :smt064

@AriaAdams- I never realized how much of my clone you are, until this last year. Thanks for being creepily similar to me, and understanding me probably better than anyone else I know. Oh. And you're a great SBer. I'm really glad you joined WR2, and absolutely love LLL. They're my two favorite SBs of all time. I'd give you a heart too, but considering the characters we RP, that might just get weird. ;) Oh, and thanks for nagging me to post so much... I guess. :smt100

@Auxiira- you're a great SBer. I love Ludi a ton, and love the plots you come up with, even if they're tearing Thran's heart into little shreds. You definitely aid the force that keeps Veersies and I everyone posting. :smt117

@DeadPeter- You're an annoying little twat. :smt108 It's been fun. <3

@Baal- You have no idea how tempting it is to just write "ditto" for Petey's post. Seriously, no one else gives me nearly so much trouble with their username-- or makes such absurd claims about me (except maybe Veersies). How many times are you going to change it? :P Anyway, you're pretty cool. I enjoy the conversations we've had, and you're a pretty epic SBer, too. :smt028

@CowLogic- I really enjoy our conversations. It's refreshing to talk to someone with my political, social, and religious views, for once. And your wit kills me. I love talking to you/ observing your sarcasm around the site, so much. You're a great writer, too. Keep rocking. :elephant:

@Rydia- You're seriously awesome. I'm digging my green name. ;)

@Nate- You scare me, and I'm not entirely sure why. You seem really cool, and I am eternally thankful to you for making this site. I'm a billion times over a better writer because of it, and met some of the most amazing people I've ever known through it. You're a boss. Thanks. <3
