Hey Abby! Welcome to YWS! I'm Stella or Stellabeam as to not to confuse me with StellaThomas, who is also on this site. Here you can post your works of writing (poetry, short stories, chapters of a novel,etc) and people will look at it and help you review it. We operate on a point system, which means you start with a certain amount of points.(I can't remember how much) When you review something you gain points (depends on how long the review is) it's usually around 80-100 and when you post a work you get points deducted. To add a new work you go to the top of the page to a dark dashboard and click on 'Add New Work' then fill out the form.
In addition to posting works you can also blow off steam in the forums, by participating in games and chatting with people. You can have your own blog on this site by clicking on the Blog tab and the 'My Blog' on the right hand side. By clicking on the People you can update your status and comment on other peoples status's. You can also post on other people's walls.
Now for my personal favorite, Storybooks. These are interactive stories that different people post as diffrent characters. It helps you work with other people and the story changes depending on other people's post's. It has a general plot with purpose but other than that it all changes. I'm starting one right now let me know if you're interested viewtopic.php?f=7&t=94502.
Please contact me by clicking my name, if you have more questions or just want to chat. Have fun!
