So I've done a bit of a look around, and as far as I can see new people make their debut posting a couple times a day on this thread. I figure that I should either be entertaining, or brief. Possibly both. :)

My name is Eliza, and I'm pushing the age limit of the YWS at 23. I wrote my first (tragic) fantasy novel at 13, which now sits in the bottom of my writing bin and will never again see the light of day. I'm currently working on my sixth and seventh novels: Blue Crystal, and The Artificer's Angels. After I finish those I have two more novels in the planning stages-- The Legends of Samira, and The Marionette's Waltz. Nothing published yet.. but then, nothing I wanted published, either. My current projects should change that.

I work full time as a gaming computer nerd boss-lady, regularly draw poor renditions of my characters, and do story-telling role-play far more than is healthy. My random hobbies include a fascination with steampunk fashion, the study of Spanish, Latin, and Japanese, playing the flute and recorder, wrestling with my bushy, curly hair in an ongoing struggle for control over my brain (as if I hadn't lost my mind years ago), and pacing about, muttering disjointed pieces of hypothetical dialog to myself.

I also make very tasty cookies.

Well hello there and welcome to YWS! Don't worry about your age, we have quite a few mature members on the site and you're certainly not the oldest. Your projects sound interesting and I'm sure the lovely members here will be able to provide you with much help!

As for me well I'm an RPG storybook fiend! And also junior mod for the storybook area so I'll probably see you around there some time.

I hope you enjoy the site and if you have questions, want to chat or would like a critique, feel free to pm me.

See you around,

Yeah, nobody cares how old you are, we just want to [s]cruelly rip apart[/s] critique your writing! And if you make tasty cookies, you could be ninety-eight for all we care.

My god, I do the hypothetical dialog thing too! We're practically twins! I'm Colleen, and I do like cookies...not that I'm hinting or anything...

:) Welcome!

Phew, for about three seconds I thought you were my friend Ezekiel (whose real name is Eliza W). Imagine my surprise!


Aaaaanyway~ it's nice to meet you. I'm also a [s]big geek[/s]* role player, steampunk fan and Japanese learner. (はじめまして! どぞよろしく!) If you're ever looking for a role play partner (*cough*or a mentor/buddy*cough*) drop me a line. :D

Welcome to YWS, dahling.

Me three on the hypothetical dialog thing. :wink:

Mmm... cookies. I just made some, chocolate chip. Many kudos on all your writing endeavors. If you have any questions about YWS or anything feel free to PM me or one of the members of the Mod Squad or Big Brother. Feel free to call me Cal or CL, that is what most everyone around here calls me.

:D

It is always great to welcome a new member into the fold.

Ta,
Cal.

Hiya and welcome to YWS!

We also have a sister site -the writers society - if you feel a bit out of place around here. I wouldn't worry though - our ages vary a lot on YWS!

So, if you ever need or want anything then feel free to pm me and I'll be happy to help you out as best as I can.

All the best,
Alainna

Well. I role-play a bit, it's true. Some of my hobbies are drawing, reading and watching anime. I'm a big .Hack fan. :D
