Good Morning!(:

Hello! Can you make your font bigger please? It's hard to read. What do you like to read? Write? Do? What music do you like to listen to? Do you listen to music while you write? You look like you know your way around, but here's a few words of advice.

Welcome,
To YWS
You'll like it here,
So put your fears to rest,

If you have questions,
Ask away,
We'll get back to you,
If not today,
then tomorrow,
at the latest,

If you want reviews,
Check out the will review for food forum,
Post up there,
And we'll give you your review,

So welcome to YWS,
We know you'll like it here,
So much,
That you'll shed a tear,
At the thought of leaving here,
Welcome to YWS!

It is a super good morning! You know why?

Because you are a birthday member of YWS! That’s right! You joined on YWS’s 6th birthday so don’t miss out on getting to listen to the YWS Birthday Extravaganza Radio Show in case you didn’t see that nifty banner on the home page!

But really, welcome to YWS! We’re so very happy to have you!

And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me! You can PM me or leave a post on my wall! Whatever you like!

Haha, yes sorry.
&Hmm; I read Fantasy and horror stories. I like things that are complicated and confusing; but my biggest thing is the character. The way I get into a book would be the character. (Like most people; I suppose.) I love good characters. &It's the only way I can really get into a book.
I also like to write Fantasy. I don't really like short stories though- because I can never seem to finish it without making it about 220 pages long, aha. I like creating characters, making their personality. You know? Haha.
Haha, I like rock, indie &Sort of depressing stuff. When I write I listen to deep music, mostly I listen to; Seether, Lykke Li, Evanescence, Bon Iver, Lifehouse, The Days Grace, stuff like that, I suppose.

Welcome to YWS, chopstick! In the immortal words of Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast, Be our guest! We're overjoyed to have you join the family, and I'd like to just take a quick moment and give you a run-down about just a teeny tiny bit of the astounding things that the Young Writers' Society has to offer!

So, YWS at its simplest core prides itself in two essential things: writing and reviewing.

Writing
Up on the main toolbar, you'll find an icon labeled Submit. When you click that icon, it'll take you to a menu on which you can post your works! Feel free to post your written works on the site to get critiques, advice, or general reviews from anyone around the site! We ask that you rate your work accurately, just to avoid any mess with inappropriate age content getting delivered to the wrong person. Each post takes 100 points to post.

Points are like a system of money on YWS--but don't be afraid; they cost nothing. To get points, you need to write Reviews on works of other YWSers!

Reviews are what keep YWS running and growing. Whenever a user posts a written work, other users review it, critique it, and comment on it, telling the user what they liked, disliked, and how they can improve. It's just a fantastic way to grow one another in our writing.

Each review gives you 50 points, so if you do your math correctly, it takes two reviews to post one written piece of your own. It may seem daunting at first, but once you get reviews on your own writing, you'll understand the beauty of the system.

The writing forums on YWS are fantastic and diverse, and give you a realm for anything that you can devise. And, if you're a fan of collaborative writing, we have our Storybook forum (which takes forever to explain!). You can find all the information regarding Storybooks Here.

We also have Blog forums and Clubs that you can join, but you can discover those on your own with no problem! Of course, if you have any questions or get lost, feel free to PM me or any of the others around here, and we'll shoot you in the right direction!

I look forward to seeing astounding, amazing things come from you!
