    What drew me to YWU? I love the idea of creating a whole other universe with fellow YWSr's. That's how Bestselling books are born. I'd be good on the lorekeeping (I have imagination) but I'd miss writing so I'm not sure. But let's say lorekeeping. I tried doing storybooks but they weren't a hit so no. My favorite flavor of Icecream is either Cherry, or Strawberry.
    I'm wise, courageous, very insightful and intuitive, and I can get outspoken sometimes, but that depends on the mood I'm in.

    Hey there, guys!

    What drew you to YWU?

    While it was initially because I'm always down for new storybooking adventures, I'm still interested in it because of the concept. One of my favorite things back when I first joined the site were joking tagbooks and poetry about YWS and its inner workings; this falls right in that category.

    Would you be more interested in lorekeeping or writing?

    As of right now, I think I'm more interested in the writing. I have to see how much free time I have this upcoming year, but I'm definitely keeping an eye on this no matter what.

    Would you be interested in joining Storybooks?

    I have no impulse control so yes.

    What kind of ice cream do you like?

    I'm a big fan of the plain ice creams - chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. I love them all on their own, but my absolutely favorite type of ice cream is a combination of strawberry and chocolate. I don't know why, but there's just something really good about the taste.

    Oh I guess I should answer this as well!

    What drew you to YWU? Well, when I first started working on YWU, I really enjoyed the idea of a larger scale Storybook, basically a Storybook of Storybooks and where people can indirectly effect other stories. I guess that's what's been keeping me going with the (huge) amount of worldbuilding I've been doing in the past weeks (I'm so excited for y'all to see it.)

    Would you be more interested in lorekeeping or writing? Honestly I want to do both, but I might be mainly lorekeeping, depending on how much free time I have.

    Would you be interested in joining Storybooks? OF COURSE xD

    What kind of ice cream do you like? I like chocolate ice cream and rocky road :D I am also a sucker for chocolate banana shakes (IT HAS ICE CREAM IN IT SHHHH)

    What drew you to YWU?
    The idea of creating an entire alternate universe with others is a a wonderful idea. I love creating other universes or add-ons to our own in the first place, but the idea of combining my ideas with others is really exciting!

    Would you be more interested in lorekeeping or writing?
    I love to create the universe (lorekeeping), but I really enjoy writing, even if it is based off of other people's ideas. I've written several fanfictions so I don't have a problem writing off of other's ideas. So I'll probably say writing if I have to choose one. :)

    Would you be interested in joining Storybooks? ABSOLUTELY!! I'm a part of one storybook now, but I would really enjoy getting to work on others! I've looked at available storybooks, but none of them really connected with me, so I would love to be a part of a new one!

    What kind of ice cream do you like?
    I love mint chocolate chip ice cream and oreo ice cream. Those are my top two favorites.

    Thanks!! : )

    (Probably should have done this sooner, but I'm a very tentative creature OxO)

    What drew you to YWU?
    Honestly? I really wanted to get into the storybook scene, but as I said, I'm a very tentative creature. This, however, seems like a grand undertaking, and I like to be what I call "intelligently impulsive" (impulsive in ways that are not injurious to me), and thus why not join such a grand undertaking? Also, I have lots of ideas that I feel could be well implemented into YWU.

    Would you be more interested in lorekeeping or writing?
    I would probably fit better into lorekeeping (just because I have so little time this summer, and probably less time this school year), but I do like the idea of still being able to provide ideas as a lorekeeper.

    Would you be interested in joining Storybooks?
    Intelligent impulsivity says yes! I've heard that the posts required for Storybooks aren't overly frequent, so I should be able to set aside time for a Storybook (or two)

    What kind of ice cream do you like?
    Personally? Cookie dough ice cream is my favorite, with mint chocolate chip coming close second!

    Again, apologies for not responding very quickly, but I do hope I can provide some worthwhile ideas for YWU!

    Hey! What drew me here? It seemed interesting. I was randomly checking out clubs and this one seemed cool.

    More into lorekeeping or writing? Not gonna lie, I love worldbuilding!!!! (If that's what lorekeeping is.) I have a couple of worlds in my head right now, including a place called Cycles I love way too much. So if I could help to keep the lore, I would love too! Maybe even create some things.

    Would Storybooks be interesting? Sure. Probably. I like writing like I like worldbuilding, so let's go. *signs scroll*

    Ice cream flavor: It changes. Oh-so-often. Dairy Queen dipped cones are amazing, but I also like sorbets and sherberts because they're refreshing. I can tell you though that I'm not a big fan of plain vanilla. It's gotta have a smattering of chocolate chips or a swirl of cinnamon or caramel.

    I just wish I knew more about the universe. Is there anyone who has like a dictionary of sorts for the world? An encyclopedia? Sorry... I do want to contribute somehow, I just wish I knew where to start.

    What drew you to YWU
    I joined On Stolen Wings, which is a Storybook in the Universe, and I really, really enjoy worldbuilding! (also any place where Tieflings exist is a place I'm meant to be in.)

    Would you be more interested in lorekeeping or writing?
    I'm totally open to both! writing and collaboration is extremely fun for me, and I would love to get more involved in the worldbuilding aspect

    Would you be interested in joining storybooks?
    Yes, joining and maybe running my own once I've got a bit of traction

    What kind of ice cream do you like?
    It's a close contest between chocolate and cookies n' cream


The bigger the issue, the smaller you write. Remember that. You don’t write about the horrors of war. No. You write about a kid’s burnt socks lying on the road. You pick the smallest manageable part of the big thing, and you work off the resonance.
