"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars... "
- Jack Kerouac.

I'm sarah, I'm seventeen and from the united kingdom.
A former avid reader, I've kind of moved on to creating my own work rather than reading, though I still jump at the chance to open a good book!

As most of the time I lack the patience and determination, I prefer writing poetry or short stories - most of the time they make no sense, but that's what I love. I love fiction that can't be generalised; that can't be one thing and not another. Charles Bukowski is my all time favourite poet - he knows how to deliver pain and heartbreak like no other.

Not sure what else to say, I'm terrible at writing introductory posts!
Some quick stuff about me:

LIKES:
kings of leon,
european cultures,
quentin tarantino,
funny people,
foreign films,
charles bukowski,
coffee,
literature,
the cold.

DISLIKES:
silence,
serious people,
homophobes,
fundamental religion,
try-hards,
boredom,
disney stars,
liars. ETC ETC.
I FELT LIKE DESTROYING SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

Hi there, Sarah! My name is Sarah too :D

Your opening quote really caught my attention. If you're looking for mad, you have definitley come to the right place. The Young Writers Society is a website like no other. Everyone here is one big family, including those crazy aunts and in-laws you are reluctant to see. It's highly unlikely that you won't find someone on here with the same interests.

Now, on to the basic rules.

:arrow: 2:1 ratio > this means for every work you post, you have to critique two other pieces, just to keep it balanced

:arrow: NO CAPS/ ch@t sp3@k > there's nothing I, or any of us, hate more than CAPS or t@lking li3k dis. We're all writers here, so let's try and act like them. The occasional 'brb', 'lol', or xD are fine, but don't get accesive.

:arrow: Always rate your work


Well, this is my first greet in a fairly long time, so I know I'm forgetting some stuff. That's okay; I don't want to put the other greeters out of work.

If you need any help, feel free to PM me!
Talk to you soon!

Hi Sarah! I just wanted to point something that the other Sarah forgot to mention xD

The review ratio has gone up since October 1st, it's now 3:1 (meaning time to review like crazy) and it will go up again, on November 1st, to 4:1.

Anyway, I like Kings of Leon too ^.^

PM me if you need anything!

Ok, so I'm going to show you ... the YWS rainbow!

Administrators: The whole reason we're up and running! The almighty xD

Now, your list ...

Likes:

european cultures, Mmhmm! Greece is FTW
funny people, *Points to self* xD
coffee, I have to pour in the sugar
