Hey ArtyChoke, glad you found YWS! And very clever name you have there, haha. One rule that we'll ask you to follow is proper grammar-- that means we capitalize the proper letters and use correct punctuation as well. I know it's a bit odd, but once you get used to it it'll feel more natural.

Feel free to PM me if you need any help finding your way around!

Hi Artychoke, welcome to YWS! this is a great place to post art, ranging from paintings to photography! I hope you like the site, and if you ever need any help with anything, just PM me. Also, be careful with chat speak, people around here get toutchy about that sort of thing. that and spelling. Have fun! your friend,

Hey there, Arty

As the others have already said, chat speak doesn't really fly too well with some people so I'd be careful about it. You won't get trampled or anything, but you know. Heheh, just kidding. Anyway, I'm Ear (most just call me that or earendil) and I like to write poetry nine times out of ten. If you ever need a review on a poem or prose, don't hesitate to shoot me a request in a private message or on my wall! If you need a review for any other style of writing, I can help you find a reviewer if you're having trouble with that as well. Any other questions, like I said before, shoot me a private message or just post it on my wall.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy your stay here on YWS! We're a cool crowd, and we don't bite too often.
- Ear

Thanks for all the welcomes people!!!

I'm sorry about the chatspeak stuff! I didn't realize that it was a problem lolol! I'll try and be as grammatical as I can from now on! (is this better?!)
