Are you a member of any writing sites besides YWS? If you are, please leave a link! I used to have a list of two-dozen writing sites, but almost all of them are either non-existent now or virtually defunct. So, I need a new list.
It's members-only, in the sense that you have to log in to see anything and that I have to approve the account. And it's tiny, with only a couple dozen members. Because of that, it's not really a critiquing machine, especially now that members know each other's work and literary goals forwards and backwards. But, overall, 'tis a small, ultra-close-knit community that focuses on inspiration, innovation, creativity, and developing as an artist. Fresh blood New members are always welcome.
Our features aren't that spiffy (see: proboards), but we do have a mascot named Minnie. She's a minotaur, and she eats cliches for breakfast. (Her favorite's "stubborn, fiery princess" in milk, but they give her the most horrific gas, so we try to them from her.)
I don't fangirl. I fandragon.
Have you thanked a teacher lately? You should. Their bladder control alone is legend.
Well, there's Wattpad at: http://www.wattpad.com/ But I don't recommend it. There are some good writers there, but most of them are over-shadowed by the fan-fiction writers (most of whom can't write) who write on and on each and every day about Twilight and vampires. They make the Hot List all the time, and you're going to have to dig long and deep if you want to find any real talent. I was on it for about a year, but I find YWS so much better so I don't go on so often anymore. If you want another opinion on it, ask dreamybanana, she's a member too.
