Well... if someone wants to come talk to me, awesome. If not... well... -twiddles thumbs- Then I'll all alone. I figured I'd come say hi to everybody, though. So... hi!
Your name means "vampire," ne, Kyuu-chan? (Have you ever read Pet Shop of Horrors? There's this little demon/hamster/thing named Kyu-chan/Q-chan. It's adorable.)
Don't worry about being alone. At the very least, you can always PM one of our lovely mentors. That's what we're there for!
So, anyway, tell us a little about yourself! What sort of thing do you like to write? Do you speak Japanese? (Are you an animé fangirl*? If so, there's an animé & manga-themed usergroup~)

*and I mean "fangirl" in the best way possible.
Hai, it means vampire. Heheh... I was wondering if someone would pick up on it.
Yay, I'll actually have someone to talk to here. >.> Most places where I try getting critique on my work I get ignored...
I'm trying to learn Japanese. Hence, the unsername and random additions of Japanese words in my text. I love anime, in fact I've got about five or six different ones I'm watching now. I tried writing a story based on an RP I did once, though it kind of crashed and burned. And my last vampire story I made had so many flaws I cringe to think about. Vampires, fantasy, and scifi are pretty much the genres I write. And I'd keep up a chapter story if someone would actually give me feedback on it.
Oooh, good luck learning Japanese. It's super hard. (I just finished my translation homework and I've got to go and do the reading later.)
I don't think you'll be ignored here. We're a friendly lot, for the most part, and there are lots of active YWSers. (I know how you feel, though. I have a hard time working on stuff if I'm not getting feedback. *laaazy*)
I really should organize my learning better. I kind of go to a site I'm using and browse the words, trying to memorize them. ^^;; Are you taking classes?
I'm currently watching Karin, Bleach, Love Hina, Trinity Blood, Death Note, and I promised a friend I'd watch School Days. D'you watch anime?
Ahh, thanks. I really hope I can complete a story here. I've been wanting to for a while.
I'm in Japanese 101. I want to study abroad either this summer [short-term program] or for a semester/year when I'm a junior. Your best bet is probably to invest in a book that teaches kana (I'd recommend Kana de Manga, and memorize those first), and then a textbook (we use Japanese For Busy People, but it's really boring - I've heard Japanese in Mangaland is good) and teach yourself by reading the book and doing the lessons in sequential order. It's not a whole lot of fun, but it's effective.
I watch oodles of animé, but not so much as I used to. I'm currently just watching Tsubasa.
Feel free to drop me a line any time. (All of my contact info is in my profile, and of course you can just PM me.)
I like Tsubasa a lot; the animation is really pretty and there are lots of CLAMP jokes and recurring characters from their various series. I've heard it isn't very close to the manga, so I'm thinking about buying that, too. (So ... expensive ...)
'Kay. Heh... I'm open with Yahoo or MSN.... I really should add that to my info thingy...
Ahhh, nice. I might try Tsubasa when I'm done with a series. Yeah... I agree with you there. Manga's pretty expensive. >.> The manga at my school library's not very good stuff, either.
(Yeah, feel free to add me. I'm a lot, and sometimes I forget to take down my away message - but don't feel bad if I don't respond, 'cause I do actually study sometimes.)
Heyy there new friend of YWS! Is it okay if I call you, Kyu? I love the name by the way, pretty unique.
Soo, what do you like to write? I write anything if I'm truly honest; from poetry to fantasy fiction, although I haven't yet braved the worlds of fanfiction and storybooks, but hopefully I shall pluck up the courage soon enough.
What kind of music do you like to listen to? I like everything, but I mainly revolve around soft rock, a little bit of screamo and old school punk. What a combination.
See you around then, hope you like it here and I'll try to help whenever it's asked from me.
Hello, new person! Welcome! I'm Muffin, or EM, or Muffage, or Muffers, or Muffy, or Da Muff, or whatever other weird malformation of my name you can come up with.
So, what do you like to use to write? Me, I like a good sharp crayon or a finger dipped in blood.
What's your paper brand preference? Would you rather have a Great Dane that looks like a cow-leopard crossbreed or a Maltese that looks like a mutant fish?
Well, time to go save my grilled cheese. The elves are chasing it around my plate again.

In unvanquishable number.
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you—
Ye are many—they are few.” — Mary Shelly
