So, I am new to this website. I joined because I was looking to start writing on my own time again, I have always been a good writer. Since I am new could someone tell me a little about this site and how it works? Maybe some ideas as to what I can do on this site? Thank you!
Welcome to YWS! I'm Tanya, and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
It might be simpler to say what you can't do You can post your works here; poems, lyrics, novels, short stories in pretty much any category (you must click the top right tab 'submit').
But first you must accumulate points or you won't be able to post. You can get those points by reviewing other people's works (click the 'discover works' tab.) The idea is toe be helpful and give constructive critism. Be just and honest. If you think the work needs a crapload of work, then say it and try to find helpful ways of helping the author improve.
If you're unsure how a review is done, browse around and check out other users' reviews. It helped me
If you have any other questions, feel free to pm me (Icon underneath my profile picture).
My name is Taylor and I'm your official best friend/guide of this site
First of all, YWS is this (magical) place where you can just be yourself, post your works, chat with awesome people all around the world, make tons of friends, and grow as a reader/writer.
If you need any help AT ALL about YWS or really anything, or if you just want to chat, feel free to PM me or write on my wall. (Done by clicking on my name, "Ilovebubbles123", and either writing in the box that appears in the middle of my page or clicking the "Send private message" link in blue under my picture)
You don't HAVE to post stories and work here, but that's really what the site's for and everyone here loves everyone else's work, so why not?
If I'm not online or for any other reason, make sure to go to the YWS chat... which is basically chatting live with YWS'ers around the world. To get there, go to the YWS homepage and scroll down until you see the "Enter YWS chat room" button and click on that). One...warning... YWS'ers are very enthusiastic about new members. When you go into chat and say you're new, you will either be greeted by a dead chat (happens occasionally) or a billion people pouncing over each other to meet you.
(Another note- YWS'ers are very sarcastic. Just roll with it XD)
If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me or write on the wall!
