Hey, ya'll!
I'm RKnight, but for short just call me Rayne :) I'm almost eighteen, and kind of found this site by accident. A good thing. Though, this place seems kind of intimidating...but I'm outgoing, So I figured I'd tell you all about myself and meet new people.

Let's see... I'm from the hot southwest in the States, so if you see some "ya'll's" or "sugahs" you know why. It's the way majority of us talk, and I apologize if it's awkward. It's a habit.

I love to write, and started when I was in second grade (terrible terrible short stories). Since, i've been gradually trying to write better, use proper grammar- For a teen who texts all the time I've never used the "lingo" other than to say laugh out loud, but you all have my word I'll be good and spell the word out.

I finished my first novel about two years ago (: basically about forbidden love and war. Who doesn't love those two? I've managed to crank out a second one, which in process and a third that's just being planned out.

I love to read romance, action, paranormal things and anything else but non-fiction. I get enough non-fiction from school. I read mostly action (kick 'em, fighting, war, blood & guts type of things) with romance. Weird that a girl likes that kind of things instead of sappy "fairytale" romance. But, to each her/his own.

That's basically me in a nutshell... I hope to read/review/post soon :D

Howdy, Rayne. Welcome to the YWS! It can seem a bit intimidating at first, but once you get settled in, it's a pretty cool site. The people are quite friendly, and great at giving critiques.

You've finished a novel? Right on! I think everyone should have some war and forbidden love in their literary diets. I wish you luck with your writing, and I definitely look forward to reading some of it.

If you have any questions, comments, or ponderings, feel free to drop me a line.

Happy writing!

Hey Rayne! I'm Arctic Monkey, but you can call me Tamara (my real name ;))

Welcome to YWS!!! *throws confetti*

Hmm, this place seems intimidating at first, but we at YWS are a great bunch, so you should make friends by visiting the chatroom or commenting on peoples work and vice versa.

So, if you have any questions about ANYTHING Private Message (PM) me and I'll try my best to answer. Whether it's requesting for a review, or you need help navigating around the site, I'm here! :D If it's something more serious, PM a Junior Moderator (JM) or a Moderator (Mod), they'll probably answer your questions better than me, haha. So, with JM's, their names are light green and with Mod's their names are dark green. Remember!

Now that all of the important stuff is out of the way, lets RAVE. No? Not a big fan of raving? Haha, okay, me neither. But I do like smiley faces, these are my favourites:

See you around, hopefully! :)

Hey there, Rayne! :smt039 Welcome aboard. :elephant: I'm Searria, but you can call me Sea. :D

I hope you are not intimidated for long. We have a wonderfully friendly community here, and everyone just wants to help. :) But if you want your own personal guide to get you acquainted with the site, you can get one from The Buddy System. Your buddy will help to introduce you to other members, answer your questions, and review your work. We're always excited to get new mentees. :)

I think we have quite a few people from the southern USA, so there are a lot of "y'alls" floating around. ;) Although I've never heard the term "sugah" before.
Congratulations on finishing your book! :D I'm glad you found us here. I'll see you around.
Happy writing,

Hi, Rayne! I love your username. o:

Welcome to YWS! I hope you continue to enjoy your accident. ;D A lot of people find the site by mere google search, and they end up joining and sticking around. I look forward to seeing you around!

Wow, you finished a novel? O: You've got so much more perseverance than I do. I'm awful at finishing projects. xD Will you end up publishing it any time soon? I'd love to check it out if you ever post it or publish. o:

Maybe that's why I don't always enjoy non-fiction! XD

I actually enjoy similar genres as you. I like stories that have a lot of action and that small dash of romance. Typically, I venture into fantasy more than horror, but it's still fairly similar in that regard!

Have you ever looked into the Storybooks here? They're basically RPGs, or co-writing with a handful of members. You can just sign-up and have some laidback fun while writing stories! I think there are a couple posted right now that you might find interesting, so feel free to check them out and join one or two!

I look forward to seeing you around the site! Maybe I'll run into one of your works while browsing. ;D Don't hesitate to chat me up via PM or wall (or chatroom even!) if you want!

Hey Welcome :D

Cool I'm from the south too! Congrats on finishing two novels! I'd love to check them out; romance and war? Sounds fun! I'm only good at starting novels but I'm trying to stick to the one I'm currently working on... it's not really romantic, well, there's some romance, it's hard to write a novel without it, and there's even an amount of warfare but mostly it's fantasy... that's what I like to write... I dable in romance but I think I'm better at writing fantasy :) yeah and I'm not really a fan of nonfiction either... well, I mean, history and science are cool and I like to learn about them but fiction's more fun!

See you around--

Why should Caesar just get to stomp around like a giant while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? Brutus is just as cute as Caesar, right? Brutus is just as smart as Caesar, people totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar, and when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody because that's not what Rome is about! We should totally just stab Caesar!
