Hi, people!
My name is Andreea or as my friends call me - Dante. Trying to improve my writing skills so I`m quite happy that I found a site like this.

I write fantasy and horror... plus some short-stories that you can`t actually put them in a genre.

I take criticism quite well (that`s why I am here) because I`m bored to ashes of comments like "You write super cool! When will you post the next?" or "Amazing! I wanna read more!". Its kinda like an insult... for me at least.

Hope I`ll meet you on the forum and search for my work when i`ll post it. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Also I have to mention that English is my second language so I apologize for the grammar misspelling in my following works. I`ll try to fix them as much as I can.

Heya Dante!

I'm Lava and welcome!

I agree you can definitely improve your writing here. I know I have. English is a second language for me as well, so YWS has really helped me.
And, you've come to the right place. You'll get good critiques, I'm sure.

So, tell us a bit 'bout yourself?
What do you like besides writing?
Do you have a fave book?

So, you can PM me if you need help or you want to talk about something. :)

Cheers,
~Lava

Well I like to skate... (well i like it when i`m not breaking legs and arms), I`m playing guitar as well - still an amateur at this thing, but learning. What else do I like to do? Hmmmm... Making people laugh their head off and sometimes scarring them.

My favorite book is "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card. It`s amazing and I recommend it.

And about myself - crazy, not much a rule-follower, outgoing and again crazy. I`m the soul of the party!

Hi Dante!

Welcome to YWS! You seem like a great addition to the community.

And English is your second language! Awesome! It's my second language too! What's your first, or native, language? Don't worry about the possible grammar mistakes, even the natives make them and besides, you'll improve your English skills with the speed of light on this site, trust me. :)

See you around!

Salve! You know, I was thinking of trying to teach myself Romanian this summer? I just haven't decided/gotten books to learn from...

anyway, welcome to the site! I love horror, so I can't wait to read something of yours. You sound pretty cool. :D Hope you stick around!

Hello there, Dante!

Welcome to YWS!

Weeeeee!!!! * pops confetti*

How are you enjoying so far? Don't worry, English is my second language too, so I've committed a lot of crimes when it comes to grammar, spellings, etc. I think there are threads under section 'Resources' to help you with your problems or in Writing Gooder. In this site, you might increase your literary skills in writing.

Remember: If you don't review, you won't get reviews!
Of course, Enjoy writing!

PM me for questions or anything.

Peace out!

OMG, AMAZING! I WANT TO READ MORE!

Nah, just kidding! Welcome to YWS! I think I critiqued something of yours, but um... it was almost two o'clock in the morning when I did, so it probably is really vague and ambiguous, lol. But! I love you and, if it really makes no sense, feel free to PM me. :)
