Welcome to YWS, Aquila! I'm Payne -- nice to meet you. *Bows* Awesome username.
What sorts of things do you write? How long have you been writing? Any hobbies? What's your favorite color? (Okay, I'll stop with the questions now...)
Also, you may notice that some of the users around here have differently-colored usernames.
Light green = Junior Moderator Dark green = Moderator Red = Administrator Orange = Distinguished Member Black = Nate (the creator of this lovely site. )
If you have any questions, feel free to hit me up on the chatbar or give a shout on my wall. The mods around here are also very friendly, so don't hesitate to let them know if you have any problems/questions.
Well i like to write sci-fi fantasy, yep i published it a few years back but want to know and understand my audience (You included!) Writing since 14-15?
Hobbies? I love to film and will be interning soon
Oh i would like to know about the point and buddy system. Especially i read that we need 150 points to post a new work.
People ask me what I do in life. I could tell them I create worlds, smash planets, create characters and make them fall in love with each other.
YWS is the best place to get to know and understand your audience! Just keep writing and read what the reviewers have to say.
Regarding points, it currently costs 500 points to post a new work although that'll be dipping down to 300 points sometime tomorrow. You can earn up to 150 points for reviewing something that's listed in the Green Room, and up to 100 points otherwise.
These guys neglected to show you the most impressive thing. YWS has a Buddy System for new members which is to help them get acquainted with all of the nicknacks we currently have in place, like the forums, chats, and other fun things! Let me get you a link. clubs/1127 To get a mentor, you can look at the forums in the club and read through the profiles. You could also take the easy way and talk on the wall and let someone scoop you up.
I look forward to seeing your submissions and reviews.
