SoullessGinger: January 24, 2022 - February 7, 2022

HELLO AND WELCOME!
I'm Ell (or SoullessGinger, whichever you prefer) and I use she/her pronouns.
Here on YWS, you can find me in the RP section, usually playing some sort of overly edgy high-fantasy-esque character and using big words for no reason other than they make me feel cool.
You can also spot me attempting to review works on a relatively consistent basis- We're working on that... Or publishing ungodly amounts of poetry, short stories, and (hopefully, soon) a book-in-progress!

I do a lot of musical theatre and vocal jazz in the real world, and I'm going to college in the fall for musical theater! I'm a Dungeon Master and player in many a Dungeons and Dragons game, I hoard dice like a dragon does gold, and I love all things fantastical. Think Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Skyrim, The Witcher, Arcane, Merlin (the BBC show), and so on and so on. I also do a lot of worldbuilding and lore-writing, so feel free to drop a comment on my wall with any cool worldbuilding you're working on!

But yeah! That's pretty much it. If you're looking for some people to take part in a roleplay you're starting, or to read a new fantasy piece you're working on, feel free to send me a message or post on my wall! :)

BluesClues: January 8, 2022 - January 24, 2022

By day, an administrative assistant. By night, an Internet surfer. Wait, no. A writer. Yeah, that’s it.

After a long and distinguished career in the grocery industry, BluesClues graduated college with an English degree and two master's degrees. Now they works as an administrative assistant at her old university, and if they ever think they want a PhD, no she doesn't. They are an old lady in disguise and did not mean to like your sad Facebook status.

ChesTacos: December 8, 2021 - December 24, 2021

Hey there! Thanks for dropping by! If you eat tacos, stop reading and kindly escort yourself to the nearest door or portal of Death, both work. Just don't eat tacos. So I'm a taco, that is my species. Uh...yeah. I'm also a king, a king of tacos. See? I'm cool. If you're reading this it either means
a) You care about me (awwwww lyt <3<3<3)

b) You've never seen me before in which case please enjoy you're visit and I promise I'm not weird (well that's debatable, no shut up thoughts that are probably right)

c) I'm dead (in which case my parents have probably taken away my devices or I'm dead irl, but this is less likely. If I do die irl I will let all of you know)

AlyTheBookworm: November 23, 2021 - December 8, 2021

I'm a shy, sappy idealist who loves people, thinks too much, and likely lives more in her head than in the real world. Writing, art, music, prayer, family, and being in nature make me happy, and if I were a tragic heroine procrastination would be my hamartia.

I occasionally post the odd poem or digital drawing here, and sometimes write for roleplays and storybooks. Mostly lurk.


- My Art -

I'm the creator of a fantasy/drama/action webcomic called 'The Herald's Soul' about a monster-fighting sibling trio, which can be found here:

Favorite series + favorite author: The Fitz and the Fool by Robin Hobb

Favorite movie: Princess Mononoke



My favorite prayer:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen.

Hello! My name is Rain, Lover of Frogs and Maker of Creamed Spinach in the Wee Hours of the Morning (this is the title I was knighted under). I'm a Christian, an idealist, and a hugger of trees. Speculative fiction is my jam. Doctor Who is my favourite show, and existential dread is a favourite pastime of mine. Here are some of my favourite words: jukebox, carousel, ephemeral, weatherman, petrichor, apothecary, loam, whimsy, cryptid.

MaybeAndrew: September 5, 2021 - September 20, 2021

I was homeschooled (unschooled specifically). I have moved around a lot, but the whole time has been with my amazing family of eleven. I love books written by boring dead people, (CS Lewis, Jane Austen, and Herman Melville are my favorite authors.) I am currently serving a mission for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in South Africa. I will be there for two years, proselytizing and serving, and in that time, and so I am not currently active on the site. Jesus Christ and his Gospel have brought me joy, peace, and strength that I am excited to share with others. Christ has loved me when I couldn't love myself, made me stronger when I was weak, and healed me of my sins and wounds. Because of that, he is my Lord Savoir and King, and I am honored to serve him on this mission.

Thank you all for being so great!

RandomTalks: August 21, 2021 - September 5, 2021

Hello!

I am RandomTalks and the most important and really the only thing you need to know about me is that I am the laziest person on Earth. When I am not wasting time, I like to read and write. I am currently majoring in Journalism, so yes, I do a bit of studying too.

I like reading poems, but I am no good at writing them, so I tend to stick to prose. I love stories - so reading and reviewing my fellow YWS'ers stories is kind of my favourite hobby.

Hi reader! You are invited to spam my wall!
Here are some random facts about me.

I am not a believer of academic studies. Sounds pretty weird, does it? I don't care. Studying is all about knowing not getting marks in the exams. However, sadly, now I am a student of Class 9 and exams are still a burden on me.

I can't write a novel nor a good short story. I am best at writing novellas. Fantasy is my genre. I see writing as a good escape from the current situation of the World... Currently, I am working or at least trying to work on a project called... Eh... Not yet named. A fantasy project. Sometimes, I see a bit too deep at various subjects which even the writer didn't see. Now it often leads to awkward situation.

I love dancing. I am a moody painter, when I like to draw, no one can stop me and vice versa. Hope all these chunks of information make sense

WeepingWisteria: July 20, 2021 - August 5, 2021

I started writing when I was five years old, making ridiculous stories with little plot and pure fantasy. Now, I'm still writing fantasy, just with a little more structure. I've learned tons of the way, how to write dialogue, how to outline, and how to stick with your story even when it's overwhelming. I came here for community and advice, and I hope to find what I'm looking for and perhaps a little more. Happy writing, everyone!

FireEyes: July 4, 2021 - July 20, 2021

Hello, welcome to my corner of YWS. I am FireEyes, but I will also usually respond to Lauren.

Most often you will find me spamming my wall with thoughts and updates so be warned. But when I'm not spamming, sometimes you can find me writing a poem or two. I also have a book in the works so keep an eye out if you are interested!

I cycle through liking things very intensely because I am autistic. So I strive to know every conceivable thing about those subjects. You can drop a fun fact on my wall any time ^-^

A running list of those things are, The Aquabats, The Princess Bride, The Beatles, The Outsiders, Mission Impossible, MCR, and FOB

Pssst hey you, I was also featured member from July 4- July 18

Psssst again, I became a Junior Moderator 1/28/2022 with looseleaf, ForeverYoung229, LizzyTyler, and RandomTalks

And that's all you need to know. Come and stick around for as long as you like, we are kind and comforting here.

Hi! I'm Megan and welcome to my profile! I enjoy writing fantasy and twists on fairytale stories. I also enjoy reading fantasy and sci-fi. My favorite book would have to be "The Rise and Fall of Mount Majestic" by Jennifer Trafton. Another hobby that I have is Art; I especially like sketching digitally or in ballpoint pen.
